They were probably working on another Mad Max game, sure. But I don't think they were near to consider it a viable product. Honestly, this looks more like a more colourful and noisy Rage than a Mad Max game.
@@phucthiennguyen3299 If they had made Rage 2 exactly like the first one, there would have been no point in Rage 2. If you want a game like Rage, play Rage.
@@thegrayyernaut What I was talking about is the feeling of the game. If you have tried the first one you would know what I mean. It's like another game but they slapped Rage and "2" on it just to get some cash out of it. Just look at Borderlands for example, all of them are different in their own ways, but the feeling when you play them are pretty alike. The point is, you can change the mechanics and stuff but don't change how it's supposed to feel when playing in the first place.
@@eandjproductions2 It's overused and sounds out of place. Also it's associated with comedy and parody making everything where it's used sound ridiculous. It's so out of place and noticable, that it kills any sort of immersion.
This is actually my favorite FPS. I know it got plenty of criticism but I think the reason that was the case was because so many went into it expecting it to be like a more action-driven Fallout or they plowed through it like it was some sort of post-apocalpyse DOOM game. I find it's best enjoyed when played as a middle ground between those two. It shouldn't be taken super slowly like Fallout, but it shouldn't be blazed through, either. On my first playthrough, I put over 40 hours into it because I took my time to soak in the game world, freely explore and just have fun. Definitely one of the most underappreciated FPSes IMO. I understand that the main story itself wasn't groundbreaking but the gameplay, the setting, that's what really gripped me. Every time I play it, I just have FUN. Also, the graphics are fantastic. I wish more devs would take a hint from Avalanche and id's work on this game, particularly in the texture department. Far too many modern games have these muddy textures and rely far too much on texture mapping, instead of creating detailed textures that are made even prettier with texture mapping. RAGE 2 didn't have that issue, the textures looked as gorgeous with the camera right up on them as they did from a distance. The lighting and color palette also added a lot of beauty to the game, especially where they went particularly bonkers with the environmental details.
Dude, you should try Borderlands... It has more stuff to do than Rage, theres 6 or seven types of guns, but countless variations, theres vehicles that you can customize, sure the graphics are cartoonish, more akin to a comic book art style, but despite that you would found out lots of crazy shit. The good thing about Borderlands is that it isn't pretentious, the story is there mostly to serve as an excuse for gameplay, thats why you face from cannibal psychos to ancient robot alien guardians, huge boss battles with giant crazy bosses or even insanely powerful characters.
@TheVoiceOfTruth We need Blood Dragon 2 with Doom's combat and Rage 2's abilities in a Mad Max like setting where Rex is a now an old badass veteran cyber commando with a biker beard, cigar and muscles to rival Atlas.
Played on Ps3. Got up to the Entrance of the Authority Prison. Bugged out. Tried again by playing from the beginning until it happened again. Said fuck it, I'll just leave it and pick up the sequel.
Late reply, but you bet your ass i am one of those 12 or so people. Rage was and still is a guilty pleasure of mine. It wasn't bad, and certainly wasn't the worst thing ever. It is a good game that stands the test of modern-bullshitary and is able to stand on it's own two feet. I'm having Rage 2 install while i'm at work, and oh boy, i can't wait to sink my shotgun up some unlucky fucker's ass.
I own the first one on Digital X360 backcompat. Looks like shit resolution and texture wise, but runs buttery smooth. Still never fully completed it tho. I still think aspects of that game are better implemented than in the sequel. Looting, the Defibrillator, likable NPCs and menus/U.I. to name a few.
You can use it against enemies - even the big ones - and use them as wrecking balls to destroy the environment while inflicting damage on them at the same time.
This is the most cohesive and in-depth review for RAGE 2 I've seen, and it's also right on the money. From what I've played of it, I agree with everything you've said. You did better than all the major review outlets, who's reviews of this game were absolute trash and didn't give you any idea as to what was good or bad about it before going in.
So basically, it’s like a slightly “gritty” Bulletstorm. Entertainingly top-notch analytic review as always, Gman! May the force of *SHWACKED* be always with ya.
Rage 2 is better than Bulletstorm, Bulletstorm isn't bad but it does so many things wrong that Rage 2 doesn't do. Like only being able to really sprint in a straight line, it also FUCKING interrupts you with cut scenes & stupid events all the time. The A.I is extremely stupid. Rage 2s problem is it's empty open world. Bulletstorms combat would be better if it had more old school mechanics and features to really compliment the leash & theirs no urgency playing it because of regenerating health. So much wasted potential in Bulletstorm.
I tend to agree. One thing that people might miss about the Firestorm Revolver, is that you can use it to time your kills. They stun while ablaze, unable to act, giving you a chance to prep for killing other enemies, and getting multiple kills in quick succession. A huge part of successful aggression is chaining kills together. Your Overdrive multiplier goes up, which causes enemies to drop more feltrite, which heals you, and if specced into in projects, can maintain overdrive or the multiplier. The Firestorm Revolver isn’t a hand cannon; it’s a time-warper. Use it to set up enemies for later, and squeeze more kills into a shorter time frame, to raise the multiplier more.
@@DutchGuyMike Yeah so did i yet i don't compare modern stuff with the stone age of my child hood,doing that is essentially giving shoddy production a free pass yk. You can clearly see that everything beyond combat was rushed thus ruining the great plans they had for this game. This could have been a big hit if they had the time to fully realize their ideas
@@MrJemoederopeenstokj IDK RAGE 1 felt more like that since with RAGE 2 they knew what they were making from the start but there just wasn't much interest (or commercials/advertisements) for RAGE 2. With RAGE 1 they had many many plans and wanted to make a huge open world and they didn't manage that in the end whilst RAGE 2 it was clear what they were making from the start. I personally find all the activities and everything highly enjoyable, except that there should have been more story and all the powers/weapons should have been unlocked early in the beginning rather than letting players figure it out on their own (plus some screen effects can be very annoying). Plus some Phoenix customization would have gone a long way..
@@DutchGuyMike Nah i'm fine with collecting the weapons tbh. I'm replaying it rn and collecting the full arsenal is my main draw. Better upgrades and weapon balancing would have gone a much longer way imo. That and some kind of point system to fully reward your trickshots.
This game feels like it was initially being developed as something else entirely. Feels as much like a sequel to Rage as it does some sci-fi take on Far Cry. What were they thinking with the weird pink aesthetic too? All round just a totally weird experience.
This is a really thorough review. I've only been following your channel for a short while, but what impressed me is that you really dissect them like a true fan of the fps genre.
Youd bitch about anything wouldnt you? Dont like it dont watch it, not likes hes turned into some form of capitalistic demon or anything. Unlike many other channels hes true to his roots. Reviews whatever the fuck he thinks is worth reviewing.
Just recently started playing Rage 2 and it's like Mad Max on steroids. (FPS rather than 3rd Person.) Been having a lot of fun with it. When it came out I didn't hear much about it. But now that I have played it, honestly, I don't know why it didn't get more attention. It's a blast. Especially when you get your Ranger suit all powered up like GMan says.
The grav dart sounds like Red Faction Armageddon's magnet gun. That was some of the most fun I'd ever had using a weapon in a video game, even if it wasn't first person. I think I'm sold. XD
The combat in Rage 2 is better than Doom in my opinion. I don't usually go for the twitchy absurd fast FPS games, but I love Rage 2. I was really surprised how well it plays with a controller.
I played Rage1 or as it was called Rage. I loved it, yes it had some graphical bugs, but I found a fix for it online and the fix is just editing a config file. The game has good graphics, smooth gunplay like in doom, fun, unique and interesting npcs, fun side missions, the car racing part of the game could be a game on its own. It was a really good game imo Idk why people are hating it so much.
Cause people always need something more, graphics, story, fuck all that. Rage and Rage 2 are simply big sandboxes to kill enemies and drive shit lmao. People just don't wanna love it for what it is! But me and you see the fun in it's simplicity.
Huge iD Software fan, I remember playing Rage on day 1 and being disappointed as all hell. Rage 2, on the other hand, got me hooked on just how absurd and over the top it was. Fact, the first had a more distinct atmosphere but the games feel like Thor pre and post Ragnarok
I loved Rage 2 ! Tons of fun...i did every mission and try to do every achievement...Later i tried that DLC with skeletons (don't remember the name)...damn the difficulty was so high that I never finished it....still fun if you ask me ! LOVE IT !
comparing rage 2 to fallout is like comparing doom to stalker. theres zombies in both doom and stalker, but they are both 2 completely different games.
I dont know why this game has a lukewarm reception (mixed on steam reviews) but the combat felt so good and the environments were pretty interesting. It doesnt have much of any in your face story but never felt it actually needed one. The car combat is pretty much an afterthough tho considering these are the creators of the Mad Max videogame and it has one massive game breaking bug... but overall this is such an underrated game. By the time i finished it, im clamoring for more. The weapons and the abilities are so satisfying
I still think that Rage 2 is a good Idea because it works a little bit like bulletstorm with better shooting but sadly will be ignored by many people because wolfenstein and doom are right around the corner. I somewhat hesitate to buy it too...
@Nikos papadopoylos I really tried to enjoy the first game but I only liked the combat...everything else was "meh" at best...wouldve been better as a normal shooter without openworld and driving...
Doom eternal doesnt have a release date does it? Also wanna add that bulletstorm is criminally underrated and deserves a sequel YESTERDAY. One of the most fun games I've ever played.
The first game was one of my top 5 ever games. Dead City was the highlight of the first game as well and the collectable card game which you can easily dump 10+ hours into as its almost identical to magic the gathering.
GmanLives, you're one of the few game commentators that I can stand listening to. You're really in depth and adult. I don't have to wade through a bunch of silly pubescent jokes and shit like that. Even Angry Joe makes me cringe with how stupid all the (attempts at) humor are. Props man, keep up the good work. And yeah, if id Software has a hand in a shooter I'm definitely going to get it. i'll make sure to spend a good amount of time on the game first and seek out a bunch of arks at the beginning.
The noise at the very end of your video, the noise of opening a chest, completing a mission, opening another chest, another chest, another mission. I hear it in my sleep. BWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWM.
5:53 “I just think it’s going to seriously damper some people’s reactions when they first play it” You’re definitely right about that because you essentially described my experience with this game... and it really is a shame because some of your gameplay looks so much more fun than what I was doing.
hawk9mm bethesda account is for preorder bonuses, hopefully Doom Eternal wont launch like this though since it uses an actually good engine and is fully Id software developed
hawk9mm Wait wait I need to have a account to play a single player game?They can fuck off very kindly and shove rage up their asses. But I still want to play it so...torrent time
Playing no prob for a few days now, saw yesterday there are some coins DLC, don´t know for what and I don´t even care, and you DON´T need Bethesda.net account to play! I don´t have it... playing on PS4 and having a BLAST!! :-P
I'm an epileptic and I appreciate you bringing up the screen effects as this is definitely a title I need to avoid. Most games are OK but this game takes the chaotic effects from Borderlands and dials them up to 11. It's a bit too much for me.
Yeah, but later on it was revealed that Doom 2016 was fucking Blood Dragon behind Crysis’ back and the child was his all along. Then it was put up for adoption and raised by Mad Max.
Yoo Hoo Edited my reply. Thanks for the correction, but by the look of how the dash works, it might’ve been Doom: Eternal that cucked Crysis all along.
Real gem. I wanted to uninstall in the opening but then it becomes just so fun, and the game world is so varied and interesting. I wish you could rely on some of the basic cars more though.
RAGE 1 looks deeper in its own way. How about the animations? The 1st one has one of the best animations in games (also the nicest skybox). And how the hell did they not include the Crossbow and alt ammo and the cute spider robot???
damn it , again i had high hopes for another release that has made me think about re installing an older game ( mad max ). cheers for an awesome review :D
Something I did to enjoy rage was use keyboard and mouse obviously for the gun sections and have my controller on stand by for all the driving sections. I tell you, it's night and day. Makes all the difference in enjoying the game.
I think Red Faction Armageddon had a gun that was similar to the grav dart, it was called magnet gun if I remember correctly. That one could rip parts off of buildings as well, it was a fun weapon. On another note this seems like a big improvement over the original, I might have to give it a try.
skurt that's true, but not everyone is guaranteed to experience the same bugs. Which is kind of unfortunate, because it makes squashing those bugs that much harder. For example, my experience with Fresh Supply so far has been pretty damn smooth. I've only seen a handful of bugs (floating blood and cultists sometimes not using the right scream). Nothing game breaking, but clearly that's not the case for everyone.
This game looks like a Doom and Borderlands in one. Two of my favorite games/franchises right now. Definitely need to get this game and the first one!!!

I'm still convinced Avalanche started this title out as a sequel to their Mad Max game, but was rejected, so took it to Bethesda.
Probably.
i agree to me it does not fit what rage was
They were probably working on another Mad Max game, sure. But I don't think they were near to consider it a viable product.
Honestly, this looks more like a more colourful and noisy Rage than a Mad Max game.
after having played Mad Max recently, probably. it essentially looks like first person mad max with fun combat.
The thing I don't understand is that Mad Max is based on australia. Avalanche is based on sweden so why the fuck that game was so american

This is actually my favorite FPS. I know it got plenty of criticism but I think the reason that was the case was because so many went into it expecting it to be like a more action-driven Fallout or they plowed through it like it was some sort of post-apocalpyse DOOM game. I find it's best enjoyed when played as a middle ground between those two. It shouldn't be taken super slowly like Fallout, but it shouldn't be blazed through, either.

Dude, you should try Borderlands...
It has more stuff to do than Rage, theres 6 or seven types of guns, but countless variations, theres vehicles that you can customize, sure the graphics are cartoonish, more akin to a comic book art style, but despite that you would found out lots of crazy shit.
The good thing about Borderlands is that it isn't pretentious, the story is there mostly to serve as an excuse for gameplay, thats why you face from cannibal psychos to ancient robot alien guardians, huge boss battles with giant crazy bosses or even insanely powerful characters.

Cause people always need something more, graphics, story, fuck all that. Rage and Rage 2 are simply big sandboxes to kill enemies and drive shit lmao. People just don't wanna love it for what it is! But me and you see the fun in it's simplicity.
Rage 1 is better than the 2nd one in every way imo,gun play,atmosphere, the vehicles and maps,even DLC'S.
Huge iD Software fan, I remember playing Rage on day 1 and being disappointed as all hell. Rage 2, on the other hand, got me hooked on just how absurd and over the top it was. Fact, the first had a more distinct atmosphere but the games feel like Thor pre and post Ragnarok
Gmanlives recommends Rage 2:
🎵It’s time to party, party, there’s going to be a party tonight!🎶
Sandstorms, Screaming Neighbors, Joyriders...
Yep, this is Australia!
The "Shwacked" gets me every time
I loved Rage 2 ! Tons of fun...i did every mission and try to do every achievement...Later i tried that DLC with skeletons (don't remember the name)...damn the difficulty was so high that I never finished it....still fun if you ask me ! LOVE IT !
I like how Avalanche and id made a better fallout game than fallout 76 and got Bethesda to publish it.
Kinda like obsidian with NV back in the day
schwacked
Besides it being "post apocalyptic" it really isn't like Fallout.
Bethesda is a way better publisher than developer.
comparing rage 2 to fallout is like comparing doom to stalker. theres zombies in both doom and stalker, but they are both 2 completely different games.
I dont know why this game has a lukewarm reception (mixed on steam reviews) but the combat felt so good and the environments were pretty interesting. It doesnt have much of any in your face story but never felt it actually needed one.
The car combat is pretty much an afterthough tho considering these are the creators of the Mad Max videogame and it has one massive game breaking bug... but overall this is such an underrated game. By the time i finished it, im clamoring for more. The weapons and the abilities are so satisfying
Gman “You know I had to Schwak it to em” Lives
So good to know I'm living Gman's best life when I'm playing Rage 2.
I still think that Rage 2 is a good Idea because it works a little bit like bulletstorm with better shooting but sadly will be ignored by many people because wolfenstein and doom are right around the corner.
I somewhat hesitate to buy it too...
@Nikos papadopoylos I really tried to enjoy the first game but I only liked the combat...everything else was "meh" at best...wouldve been better as a normal shooter without openworld and driving...
Wolfenstein stopped being an interesting franchise, Rage has it's chances.
Doom eternal doesnt have a release date does it? Also wanna add that bulletstorm is criminally underrated and deserves a sequel YESTERDAY. One of the most fun games I've ever played.
@@chrisg5219 no it hasnt but it is in sight...
You are totally right about bulletstorm tho ^^
Listened to your review and found all the arks first before diving into the rest of the world. Best choice ever made!!
Thanks for the Difficulty Advice :)
The first game was one of my top 5 ever games. Dead City was the highlight of the first game as well and the collectable card game which you can easily dump 10+ hours into as its almost identical to magic the gathering.
9:39 why lie gman? aussies dont drink fosters you know this
Waited for you to review this, thanks for the great video!
I loved the original game. Very underrated
As an Australian i can confirm we have Pyromanic Mutants running around the outback
GmanLives, you're one of the few game commentators that I can stand listening to. You're really in depth and adult. I don't have to wade through a bunch of silly pubescent jokes and shit like that. Even Angry Joe makes me cringe with how stupid all the (attempts at) humor are. Props man, keep up the good work. And yeah, if id Software has a hand in a shooter I'm definitely going to get it. i'll make sure to spend a good amount of time on the game first and seek out a bunch of arks at the beginning.
Kuban energy?
The noise at the very end of your video, the noise of opening a chest, completing a mission, opening another chest, another chest, another mission. I hear it in my sleep.
BWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWM.
This game - and the original - are fantastic games imo. I give them 9, 9.5 out of 10.
5:53 “I just think it’s going to seriously damper some people’s reactions when they first play it”
You’re definitely right about that because you essentially described my experience with this game... and it really is a shame because some of your gameplay looks so much more fun than what I was doing.
Whatever Gmanlives makes, the *SCHWACKED* meme will always be there.
Just like yo' mama. *_SCHWACKED!_*
I had a blast with Rage 2. It was pleasantly different from the first. Pretty as hell on ultra settings!
There is Denuvo and Micxrotransactions (in a fullpriced game). No buy for me.
hawk9mm bethesda account is for preorder bonuses, hopefully Doom Eternal wont launch like this though since it uses an actually good engine and is fully Id software developed
hawk9mm Wait wait I need to have a account to play a single player game?They can fuck off very kindly and shove rage up their asses.
But I still want to play it so...torrent time
GRZ NGT Denuvo?I knew it...
Well okay pirate time then.
Playing no prob for a few days now, saw yesterday there are some coins DLC, don´t know for what and I don´t even care, and you DON´T need Bethesda.net account to play! I don´t have it... playing on PS4 and having a BLAST!! :-P
That pulse cannon is straight up a reskinned Doom 2016 Gauss Cannon
Land Down Under industrial synthetic mix
My favorite thing in the world right now is watching a Gmanlives video waiting to hear the “Shyeeet”
I'm an epileptic and I appreciate you bringing up the screen effects as this is definitely a title I need to avoid. Most games are OK but this game takes the chaotic effects from Borderlands and dials them up to 11. It's a bit too much for me.
Dude didn't realize the magnet gun was from Red Faction: Armageddon, but Yaghtzee did.
Looks like Crysis mated with Far Cry Blood Dragon.
Yeah, but later on it was revealed that Doom 2016 was fucking Blood Dragon behind Crysis’ back and the child was his all along. Then it was put up for adoption and raised by Mad Max.
Oliver Dekens-True 😂
Yoo Hoo Edited my reply. Thanks for the correction, but by the look of how the dash works, it might’ve been Doom: Eternal that cucked Crysis all along.
Real gem. I wanted to uninstall in the opening but then it becomes just so fun, and the game world is so varied and interesting. I wish you could rely on some of the basic cars more though.
Seems like Resistance series and Ratchet and Clank has not been topped for fun weapons
Turok beats both of them. And Wolfenstein ‘09.
Gonna wait till the end of the year to get this but damn what an improvement over the first
RAGE 1 looks deeper in its own way. How about the animations? The 1st one has one of the best animations in games (also the nicest skybox).
And how the hell did they not include the Crossbow and alt ammo and the cute spider robot???
The spider bot is so awesome. I liked alt ammo too.
yeah Rage 1's art direction was nice
damn it , again i had high hopes for another release that has made me think about re installing an older game ( mad max ). cheers for an awesome review :D
I feel like this is one of those titles that will be $20 within a month
hell yeah
Doom was.
Something I did to enjoy rage was use keyboard and mouse obviously for the gun sections and have my controller on stand by for all the driving sections. I tell you, it's night and day. Makes all the difference in enjoying the game.
Anyone else remember a PS2 game called "Black?"
Now that was a shooter.
Had it on Xbox. Can confirm that was a classic shooter.
Gun porn; the game that one. It had the nicest sounding MP5...
Schaemhazai fun fact: that mp5 sound was taken from Die Hard
I could remember it...if it released for pc
Awesome video dude, certainly the fairest review I seen of this game. Thank you
Doo doo do-do-do
Dododo-do-dodo
*🎵Cue Down Under🎵*
Haha great review mate, picked this up and I’ve gotta say it’s just good old fashioned fun, loving it so far!
You're the only guy i trust to review an FPS.
Red faction Armageddon had a magnet gun i loved the video btw and enjoy your other ones subscribed
Guess gonna wait for discount
I think Red Faction Armageddon had a gun that was similar to the grav dart, it was called magnet gun if I remember correctly. That one could rip parts off of buildings as well, it was a fun weapon.
On another note this seems like a big improvement over the original, I might have to give it a try.
“Only 12 people seemed to play”, huh? So the same number of people as the number of hours you spent in total on Blood. Noice.
I have this game waiting for me when I get home. Preordered the special edition to try this out
Looks good!!
Plus a modern AAA titel thats not deliberately made worse seems like a rarity these days.
If it's published by Bethesda, it's garanteed to be good (unless it's developed by Bethesda then in that case...)
@@iseeu46 or if its a mobil game or a MMORPG
It’s crazy how quickly this game just came and went on release.
This game looks cool, gotta wait for 1 more month until I'm buy my gaming pc
That's what I'm actually doing
@@sebynoone4228 oh that's cool, you gotta make video about you PC setup , it will be awesome!
You mean when your mom buys you one
@@TheRitva26 yeah my mom is pretty cool
I still think its one of the best shooters there is. Toplist. I had so much fun. Played it now 3 times.
Red Faction Armageddon had a gun like the Grab Dart called the Magnet Gun. It was one of the only things that made that game any fun.
If only rage 2 wasn't rage 2 but a stand alone game and more of a straight fps instead of going the far cry route/semi open world.
Civvie called you out in his new Blood review, LMAO.
skurt it's almost as if games are subjective experiences and GMan and Civvie are different people with unique perspectives...
@@matternicuss Bugs, glitches, and missing features are factual, not perspectives.
skurt that's true, but not everyone is guaranteed to experience the same bugs. Which is kind of unfortunate, because it makes squashing those bugs that much harder. For example, my experience with Fresh Supply so far has been pretty damn smooth. I've only seen a handful of bugs (floating blood and cultists sometimes not using the right scream). Nothing game breaking, but clearly that's not the case for everyone.
@@Vidyadude people in civvie's comments are saying they've had perfectly fine experiences. Not everyone is gonna have the same experience.
Looks awesome, i've got it pre-loaded on Steam right now and i can't wait to play it.
Good stuff Sonny Jim!
This game looks like a Doom and Borderlands in one. Two of my favorite games/franchises right now. Definitely need to get this game and the first one!!!
