been playing RAGE most of the last month or so. While i didn't think it was worth 60 when i tried it after 1st coming out, i liked it quite a bit but ended up waiting till it priced-dropped significantly. Now wish i wouldn't have waited quite so long as i've been having even more fun with it than b4. And loving the road rage modes which i didnt try at launch because for some odd reason almost every critical review i read bashed them. Sure the game has a few issues but i think it's still has a lot going for it. Will prob. Check out this dlc if it actually comes out.
@kartelas - excuse me! The worst developer the world has ever seen!? You seriously got it backwards; they take that long to make their games because, hello, they feature 200 - 300+ hrs of gameplay, huge, detailed open worlds and hundreds of characters! As far as the bugs, yea, they're not fun but with soo many more variables and elements in their games compared to almost anything else out there, some bugs are to be expected. Besides, its not like they refuse to patch them and are you really going to argue about a studio that's won more GOTYs than almost any dev in the last decade!? Don't embarrass yourself.
Extra missions = cool. Oversized marketing sticker about said missions that covers part of killer box art = LAME. And a deal-breaker 4 purists/collectors like myself. (In case you're thinking the sticker is only on the shrink wrap, by looking at images of the box at the big box retailers' sites, you can tell pretty easily it's freaking printed w/ that crap already on there.)
Too little too late for this gamer Irrational. And GS needs to get their facts straight - Infinite was first sched to launch Feb of THIS yr. Then was delayed to Aug., and THEN to this Oct. you referenced. Regardless, When they bumped it pretty last minute a third time to next yr, that was more than enough delays for me to loose most of my interest and excitement in the game. But I wasnt that into it in the first place as I personally was really hoping Levine would do something totally new, move on from Bioshock. The guy's got some serious talent but after refusing to help 2k marin w/ BS2, even after multiple requests, acting like "I'm the only 1 who can make a good Bioshock game. Its my baby!" Bullsh*t, what does he have up his sleave instead - another BS game. And looking at how rocky the dev's been on this new one, all I can say in the end is karma dude.
@UrbanMessiah - we've got u covered already with the open-world zombie game dude - Dead Island. One of my all time favs and a hell of a lot of fun. A sequel is already in the works as well.
Would prob be an interesting setting and of course atmosphere for MP but I too care much more about the SP. If 4A does end up releasing a MP DLC, I would prob only be on board if it were free or a minimal charge.
If u look closely @ the full-size view of the image, u can tell this is no screenshot. Look where the waterfall hits the rocks and the resting water. Concept art (and beautiful) sure but don't mislead us into thinking thinking the actual graphics look this good already. Even if they do or will, however, I personally couldn't give a shiz; most of their games play like crap.
I actually really like the UI and HUD design; they're unique and interesting visually and at least from what was shown here, still seem pretty user friendly. Combat does looks to be at least partly inspired by the recent Batman games but I really like the combo lab idea and there's some fresh-looking techy abilities on show too. Just wondering now how much of a story this will have.
