Can "Neither" be an option? Seriously there are better games out and coming out. I'd say wait for something worth the cash.

Got bored with Bulletstorm halfway through. Rage was a blast all the way through.

Bulletstorm is a hell of a lot more fun. I would buy that.

Found both to be rather "meh", but probably Rage if I had to pick one

RAGE is for Nvidia users only at the moment, unless a recent patch has changed that. As an Nvidia user I played just fine on old drivers from day 1 :)

I paid 25 bucks for bulletstorm and really did not like it. I would recommend rage unless you can get bulletstorm for 10 bucks. It's painfully repetitive.

i'm not going to tell you to get or not get Bulletstorm, but what i am going to tell you is .... and listen closely Don't Get Rage !!!! Trust me on this one, everything that can be wrong with a game is wrong with Rage. And MEGA TEXTURES..... what a joke. What is the point of something that only looks good from a distance. If they are going to use them in the future combine them with Textures that work, meaning either landscape etc that you can't get to and the stuff you can have normal Textures or have a radius of where normal textures start and Mega Texures begin. Because seriously there is litterally no point in them if they can't do either of those options.

Bulletstorm is a lot better overall, in terms of story, pacing and variety

I think the spread here is interesting. I haven't played Rage, but I did play the Bulletstorm demo on my little brother's PS3. It was fun. I bought it yesterday and I feel asleep playing it last night though. To be fair, I was really really sleepy.

Bulletstorm is $16 on amazon.com right now. Maybe you could wait a couple of months you could get Rage when it gets under $30.

That's because the virtual textures are handled differently from standard repeating tiled textures, and so they suffer a lot more from compression(not to mention they require a lot of storage space). It has already been addressed that the issues people had with the textures up close are due to compression and that for people who are bothered by it, there is a 150GB uncompressed texture pack being released since the textures are currently compressed at 1:15 so it's worse than the following which uses 1:7 compression: http://s4.postimage.org/5w6igzfgk/Uncompressed.jpghttp://s4.postimage.org/5w7iut2bo/compresss.jpg

Both are great from what I hear. I loved Bulletstorm, but that game had the weirdest game breaking glitches. Slow mo that never ends, inability to use the weapon select keys, inability to trigger certain set pieces and continue and all in one playthrough. It was a nightmare, but still a blast, and certainly not as bad as New Vegas (which I still loved).

RAGE released in a broken state, but from what I hear it works fine now. I'm downloading right now actually (damn slow 1mbps internet), but so far I hear good things. I'll report back if the thread is still active by the time I get my hands on it.

While Bulletsotrm was good, it was also pretty linear in level design and boss fights.

Before you check out type this code in the promotional code box ORIGIN60. There is even a tread with a list of games on sale on Origin atm search for it if you want to.

Bulletstorm is far better, and at this point is probably fairly cheap. Even price notwithstanding, Bulletstorm is the more entertaining experience.

I have played and finished both, and in my opnion I would choose Rage out of the two you listed. Neither are the best games ever made, but Rage has more content and will keep you busy longer while Bulletstorm is more fun but has a very short single campaign and not much to do beyond that except for the poorly designed multiplayer. Neither lived up to their expectations, but Rage is the better game overall.

For starters i read that the 150 gb texture pack was just a rumor and ID denied it's release. That besides the point they should have in the 1st place made this game compatible with Pc users who waste their hard earned money on a pile of rubish, don't get me wrong i'm sure that the story is great and i'd enjoy it but ...... it's broken and beyond repair

infact herehttp://www.gamepur.com/news/5807-rage-pc-gamers-let-down-first-high-resolution-texture-pack-shows-no-difference.html there is no 150 gb patch.

and if you look at my PC specs; i spent over £2000 to play games that worked and this doesn't so don't buy it.

Here are some screen shots.

Do yourself a favor and do what i didn't, save your money on Rage.

And also just to let you know, for some reason gamespot wont let me add quick links in. Sorry tried for ages.

Wish RAGE would go on sale, seems like it never does. Must have the CoD disease I guess.

I would say to go for Bulletstorm, it was a blast to play but it is pretty short and really linear. I played Rage on PS3 and found it to be pretty boring.

Rage is $60(?).... Bulletstorm is $20.... and is alot more enjoyable imo. Rage was entirely overrated, it wasnt even a great looking game imo (graphically).
