Yet another boring game from id and my last pre-order. I knew I should have waited for reviews before purchase, just like I do with most games. I guess I was just excited, for a new id game after how many years?
Oh well, I'm sure Valve will release another cool game sometime soon ...
To me the game felt too much like a dumbed down version of Borderlands... the scenery is prettier, but the story, the world, the weapons, ... just without any kind of character progression, weapon modding, with less weapons, less playtime, ... It just doesn't feel right. The whole time while playing Rage I thought to myself "I'd actually really like to play Borderlands right now". And seeing how they screwd the PC market (and even EA begins to understand how important the PC market is) is just another example... id makes good engines, just not good games anymore... Like their engines evolve, but the games are stuck in the Doom age...
And a Twisted Metal style multiplayer mode? Hello?
Sorry... On console I'm sure it's a good game, but on PC... I'll put it on my list of games I was looking forward to that turned out to stink.
