why all the hate on RAGE?

I was finally able to open the game and play and 5 hours later, This game rocks!!! I thinhk the game play is great and all the challenges and races are one of a kind. The texture pop ups in my opinion are not that noticable, I have not tried multiplayer so no comment there. I could call of work tomorrow and keep playing. Very happy with the game! Whats your thoughts?

I usually don't play FPS, But I'm getting this game once it gets a price drop. Looks kinda sweet.

I guess people were just dissapointed by the hype, but i don't get it. I didn't honestly see any proper hype for rage.

well I am really enjoying it and I think the graphics and clarity are fantastic...i am very glad to add this to my library

It think most of the hate is from the fact that it's seen as cool to hate on FPSs (or anything really popular) on here.

Also since the PC version was basically broken when it first came out a lot of people took to the Internet to trash the game.

Personally I find that the game is really good...I've played through it once and I'm working on my second play through. For me to want to play back through a game right after a play through tells me it must be very good.

because it is a mediocre game. that is probably why.AWolfoftheCalla

Not only that but I've seen both versions and there definitely is a difference. The problems may not seem that big but the graphics are what was hyped up the most about it and when the ps3 version doesn't look as good, people will understandably be disgruntled.

I know that I for one am tired of seeing this happen with multiplatform games on the ps3. They always work really hard on polishing up the 360 version because that's the one they're going to show in commercials and at trade shows but they don't bother polishing up the ps3 version because they (for some odd reason) think gamers are pushovers and will pay $60 for whatever crap they lay out on the shelf and rave about it anyway.

I was surprised to find out that the PC version was the worst though. That was just plain broken.

I love it. The gameplay feels right, the graphics are great and the story has been pretty interesting so far (for a shooter).

i agree with this, seeing the fact i actually played Rage

It's just an extremely basic FPS. Nothing in it I haven't seen done, and done a lot better, in 10 other games.

I do understand everyones points, But over all We are having a blast going through! Appreciate the feed back

I will definitely be picking it up, but I already have such a backlog. I should have bought rage instead of Deus Ex, just because it is more my style. Although I am enjoying Deus Ex, it just took about 5 hours to get interesting.

It gets hate because it does nothing great. It doesnt deserve hate but it doesnt really deserve praise either

it gets hate cause if it doesnt change the formula, then its automatically mediocre (by people i wouldnt trust to wash my car)

in reality it is a very good looking game (best looking console game ive played), with good handling, great AI (they arent ********* and most of the time they act believably), a passable story (its easly forgettable, tempting me to skip it at times), and pretty open for a single player mainly experience. its nothing new or revolutionary, but it is by no means bad, good is prehaps the biggest insult i could sling.

Because there are haters for every game. Just ignore them and enjoy it, as I know I will when I get it!

You do 3 things in this game: 1. Run through a town, talk to a CPU to get a quest. *load screen* 2. Drive to area of quest, in a vehicle segment which plays great...but doesn't make sense. The only open world aspect of the game is the driving...but this "open world" has nothing in it to see... The only thing that happens here is that you get constantly ambushed by CPU enemies who chase you as long as you're in their kill zone, and then they just let up. Basically you can boost through these zones and never actually have to do any car combat... Which again, doesn't make sense, since it's clearly suppose to be a large part of the game. Anyways, 3. enter a cave/building/base, walk down corridors fighting CPUs, which sounds boring...but this is where Rage comes into it's own. The gunplay is awesome...

I give this game a 8/10, 5 points of that is just for it's gunplay, the other 3 for the polish.

Most people hate the PC version, the game didn't work with any AMD/ATi graphic cards and some users with Nvidia cards couldn't run the game as well. It took AMD 3 days to come out with a driver update that didn't work and took id a week to come out with a patch. People basically paid $60 for a broken game. Also, id's boss John Carmack keep making stupid statement that pisses gamers off.

I am currently playing this on the PS3 and I really like it. The game runs at 60FPS the entire time no matter how much action is on the screen. Every single weapon in the game feels powerful and good when you pull the trigger. The Buggy/Cuprino racing/combat is actually really fun.

I also like how the multiplayer is car combat only, nice break from all the online FPS out there.
