More Rage

[Don Carlos]

8 is a good average score; I wll check Joystiqs review as I always find them to be fair, balanced and 9 times out of 10, correct.

There's just not a lot of "there" there - my first playthrough, which included every side-mission and several job board assignments, took me 9 hours and 15 minutes. My second, where I completed every side-mission, every job board assignment, every courier mission, and most of the races, took eight hours and 50 minutes. RAGE ends so abruptly that I didn't realize it was over until the final cutscene began. I was left wondering what had happened

Oh

[brisk]

Fixed all the silly stuff like mouse accel, fov, vsync etc... the beauty of having a working console.

However, because there's no way to adjust individual graphic settings at the moment, it's hard to know what the hell RAGE has set your graphic options at. I've got pretty much the best GPU/CPU/RAM available, but the textures in this game look absolutely hideous for me. It's a bleached out, blurry mess. I noticed that my GPU is hardly being taxed too, since my GTX580 usually runs at around 85C when running intensive games. With RAGE, it never goes higher than 65C.

Gameplay is dull as fuck so far, with constant ridiculous fetch quests and forgettable dialogue, but the shooting is decent. I guess it's exactly what I expected it to be. Still, i'm getting increasingly sick of pre-ordering games and being nothing more than a glorified BETA tester, constantly having to do workarounds just to get a game running right.

Just curious: why is adjusting your FOV so important? I don't think I've ever done this in any game other than Quake 3 nor have I felt the need to do so. And I did play Q3 at the default 90 fov for a very long time.

This video explains it all perfectly. Ironic that it's for developers, when not a single one of them implements it properly for the PC.

Ah yes, very nice video. I understand what the problem is. Never really experienced it myself, but I guess this mostly started occurring as XBox 360/PS3 became primary development platforms instead of PC, by which time my gaming had already mostly switched over to XBox 360.

The way he can draw with the tablet looks really neat as well.

Brisk, looks like you are getting that polygon edge bug as well. Enable AA to remove it for some reason until its fixed... But yeah, thats about the best it gets.

I'm running 8x AA. I was actually considering lowering it, since I was under the impression that RAGE auto-configures to keep the game running at a constant 60FPS, sacrificing quality to maintain it... so maybe that would actually improve the quality of the visuals heh. No draw.

Honestly, it looks absolutely fugly at the moment. I expected the gameplay to be a bit shit, but you don't expect an id game/new engine to look like a PS2 game... and trust me, although that screenshot I posted was obviously a bit extreme, the actual game doesn't look much better. What the hell went wrong.

id has gone gay...next...

This is why I don't PC game anymore. I like to pop the disc in and play without having to dick around in config files and registry entries.

lol u r a pathetic little man...

[eepberries]

I still can't believe id released this piece of shit console port in the state it's in. Fuck even Doom 3 ran better on launch. I get constant HUD/object flickering and the game crashes when I try to enter a dungeon. Not to mention of course the glaring megatexture loading issues. I'm so glad I pre-ordered it really paid off!

...Really though I want do want to play it and can't wait for some patches I'm just mad as fuck that we got it in this state

[xer0s]

lol, crybabies...

[scared?]

lol pre-ordering video games...

Carmack slarved us all. Thank fuck Dark Souls is out on Friday.

[Κracus]

Thanks guys, I don't feel so bad for being poor anymore!

(First the travesty that is Quake Live, now this.)

What happened to

What happened to the world, what world do we live in.

I wanted the mighty to fall, really, but not on its face, in a pile of bullshit.

Maybe I'm just in a bad state of mind for bad news.

I used to like consoles, but when they fuck with the best of PC gaming, it's a sad state of affairs.

used to say the game will be released "when it's done". Well does that look "done" to you?

I was hoping there might be a decent DM mod, without vehicles, built out of this. They haven't even built a solid game to base mods on.

I'd put my money on you being a fucking moron. But then who wouldn't.

What do you know, you don't even like PC games.

[Eraser]

Incorrect.
But I recognize a moron when I see one anyway.

[brisk]

+1 for DTS being a moron. A genuine, unashamed dribbler.

Anyone know how to unlock the fps cap? my shit stays at 60fps with hardly any gpu usage...I have a 120hz monitor.
