Let me know how to rpg (including minigames, collectibles, story, codex entry type of things, ect) elements pan out to be. I am afraid after dropping 65.84 on a 2 hour game.
EDIT
I don't know if GT is a "bad" review site, but they review games with a good template format that I like, and I never had trouble with em before. Anyway, the big point here is that the rpg elemtns are surprising. Check out the review. Again, let me know what yall think who have played the game though.
www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-rage/721726
here are a few more reviews:
EGM (9.5/10): “Rage is one hell of an experience.”
TeamXbox (9.5/10): “Simply put, it’s a blast to play.”
GameTrailers (9.0/10): “RAGE is not what you expect, but exactly what you didn’t know you wanted.”
Game Informer (9.0): “Id’s return is worth the wait and stands out in the crowded FPS market.”
IGN (8.5, Editor’s Choice): “One of the best looking games ever made.”
AusGamers (9/10): RAGE is a triumph for id Software”
Gaming Chronicles (10/10): “Rage looks like a launch title for whatever system Xbox is planning for us next.”
Gaming Trend (95/100): “Rage is just that damned good.”
Machinima (9.0/10): “Rage represents the team at id stepping out of a 20-year long comfort zone and (gracefully) stepping into the modern era. It’s been a long time coming and I think I can speak on behalf of gaming when I say they are most welcome.”
I played about 4 hours or so yesterday.
I probably completed about 10-15% of the game, as I only did the first couple of quests and I didn't even get the dunebuggy yet.
It is actually an open world environment. If you are persistent, you can climb up on mountains and even find a way to drive the ATV up on top of mountains and weird places.
However, it's a relatively small open world, at least until you open up the path to Wellspring. I haven't done that part yet. I think all the gambling mini-games are in Wellspring (dice games, something called "finger fillet," and some sort of complex card game that looks like it has rules similar to Pokemon or MAGIC the gathering).
The sewers are really short levels that respawn and the textures are so incredible it's like a modder's dream for Fallout 3. The textures stream from a "megatexture" file, so if you turn around quickly or move in very close to a surface, the textures become blurry for a second. from about 5 feet out to an incredibly far distance they look pretty amazing, better than any other game I've played on my laptop at 1920x1080.
The other levels seem to respawn only if you get a quest to return to the same area. The Bandit Hideouts are all gorgeously designed, really breathtaking when viewed on my HD projector. It's a stunningly beautiful apocalypse. If you look up at the sky or at some distance vista through a broken windowpane, it is unlike anything I've ever seen on my laptop before.
Loosum is smoking hot, but so far she only says the same dialogue, inviting me to practice wingsticks. I hope more dialogue options get unlocked later. Really amazing character design work.
There are two settlements I've encountered so far, Dan Hagar's gas station village and the Outrigger settlement. You can talk to various NPCs and they give you quests and rewards, like crafting recipes to make bandages, or better weapons, etc. It's pretty simple but the environment is breathtakingly detailed and all the of the NPCs are well designed. There are a lot of doors that you can't open. I think they can be opened during later quests, but I'm not sure.
I know that there are a lot of different crafting recipes in the game and later on it will be possible to craft different kinds of robots, armor upgrades, ammo, radio controlled miniature car bombs, etc.
Hopefully some mods will expand the RPG elements in this game. It would be like a dream version of the Fallout world in terms of the graphics.
The sound design is phenomenal, as well as the orchestral score.
I also experienced some tech issues:
1. I experienced CTD on startup about 20 times and could not play the game initially. After installing the AMD RAGE hotfix catalyst driver released yesterday, I was able to run the game.
2. occasionally I would experience some strange artifacting. It looks a little bit like
this image but certainly not so severe as what that person is experiencing. I only noticed this in a couple of locations.
