Today is the North American release date for RAGE, and the game is now unlocked in some territories on Steam. Reviews are also popping up. You can read about id's new first-person shooter on AtomicGamer, AZ Central, Computer and Video Games, Destructoid, Edge Magazine, Eurogamer, gamesTM, GameTrailers, guardian.co.uk, IGN, IncGamers, Joystiq, PC Gamer, and Strategy Informer. There also seems to be quite an uproar among some PC gamers, there's a lengthy thread on reddit saying "The PC Steam version of RAGE is riddled with graphical problems and bugs!" pointing to complaint threads on the Steam forums here and here as well as on the Bethesda forums. Another large reddit thread is titled "RAGE - We need to fix this problem," and another on the topic of the game seeming like a console port, pointing to this Steam Users' Forums thread saying the game requirements have changed: "Minimum: XBOX360 or PS3 - Recommended: XBOX360 or PS3." Finally, AnandTech points the way to a new AMD Catalyst - Rage Performance Driver.

And? id games have had longevity. I've played Quake more hours than every other game I've ever played combined. Morrowind was pretty and interesting(bought an 8500 to have shiny water for it), but by Oblivion it was redundant, and FO3 was alright. The most interesting Bethesda game I've played was Sea Dogs. Won't be getting Rage. It's obviously not up to snuff with id's previous offerings considering all the restrictions and general lack of standard options/functionality for an id game. Carmack burns a little more goodwill with this one. Sooner or later he'll be no better than Cliffy B or Romero from a PC gaming perspective, if he's not already there given Rage.
