[citation][nom]saxplayingcompnerd[/nom]Rage= massive flop, the end.I was thinking about getting rage when i heard about it, but after seeing how awful the textures are and how the developers seem to not care that oblivion with a few mods has better textures, I don't think ill get it until I can find it for less than $15.[/citation]
id mande the game not brethersta, which roaly fd oblivion for the consoles, look at early pc only ai demos.
[citation][nom]ragesux[/nom]Is this game even remotely fun? Even the videos of it working properly seem so "blah". Just seems like the most generic rehashed game of all time, with a car thrown in.[/citation]
if you like shooters, this is by FAR the best one you can get, as the ai is that good.
[citation][nom]Browser[/nom]Yes it is actually a fun game, it's just that it's had such a marred release. I've only finished the first few missions / few hours because I figured I'd wait for the patches to come out before really digging into it.Once the glitches are sorted out it will be a great game, though id software really dropped the ball on the PC version at release time. It's like they paid little to no specific attention for the PC, which is shocking and disappointing especially from id software.To make it worse I don't buy their claims of blaming drivers for pretty much everything and then releasing patches, after all didn't they need drivers to test the game on the PC before release, or did they just skip that part. Also all this talking they're supposedly doing with the driver vendors should have been done before release if there were problems. If the game does present new problems for drivers you can hardly expect updated drivers to come out before the vendors have had time to test, update, retest etc. It's all 100% id software's fault.Good game, but id failed in a truly epic fashion with the PC release and their attitude about both that and the PC in general doesn't make me want to be very sympathetic.Great game or not, it is the last one I buy from id purely because it's an "id" game.[/citation]
not everyone had problems with the game on the pc when it was launched, amd seams to have suffered the most, but even than many people had no problems at all.
giving the game a patch to help the people who drivers had nothing to do with it is a nice little gesture.
[citation][nom]clonazepam[/nom]How's the AI up to this point? 1 guy shoots from cover, and alternates between popping out of cover either high or low, and the guy charges you in a zig-zag pattern. Repeat. Repeat. How many enemy combatants ever attacked you all at the same time? 2-3?I'm just asking... following up on some comments I heard/came across.[/citation]
the ai id different on different difficulties, from what i underatand, easy is... well... bad. normal shows you what the ai can do, and not sure about the higher difficulties, because i dodnt keep up with talk post launch. the girst few hours of the game are said to be kind of a grind, with mixed impressions, some love it some hate it, but once you are out of that, people generally praise the game.

all that said, i want a game to come out, that had 5 graphical settings, 1 for low end, one for mid, one for high, one for dual card high, and one as a higher than that joke. as in you pick the highest one, the graphics are broken to the point its worse than the low end, but eats the crap out of system resources, with an ongoing joke of patching the game to make the 4 low end look better on less resources, but the highest end fixes one aspect but completely breaks another, just to screw with everyone who has to have the best of the best or its crap.
