    Your description of this game is exactly why I bought it. Rage 1 was the same - lots of flaws but the combat was sooooo good, loved it. Felt like playing a modern Half Life or Quake or something. Looking forward to giving this a go the second I finish A Plague Tale (which I'm also loving).

  • @TalkingRaven_
    @TalkingRaven_ 3 года назад +3

    A good way to look at this game is to look at it as more of a arena FPS that just so happens to be in an open world and go in expecting as such. I don't think the open world aspect isn't too fleshed out but the combat more than makes up for it.

    I can't speak to the overall depth as he did, but the handful of hours I've put in so far have been amazing. When you get comfortable with the powers and weapons, making short work of a bandit den just feels like art. The frenetic combat is some of the best I've ever experienced.
    That being said, he is also correct in that the story mostly exists to exist, the clear purpose of the game is to mostly shut your brain off and go from crazy combat experience to crazy combat experience.

      ​@@Reyma777 That's just an assumption though. I've been Googling around for a couple of minutes trying to find info about the audio engine these games use but audio engines are obscure stuff apparently and it would require further digging. For what it's worth, I've played all the games you listed and the only one where I had audio issues was Prey. Interestingly, I used to have audio issues a lot more often in games before I switched the default sound format on my on-board audio from 24bit 96,000Hz to 24bit 44,100Hz. I'd suggest taking a look at your audio settings in Windows since these are sometimes the root of the problem.

    I think the small amount of NPCs can be very beneficial to the game and the feel of its world. The sense of desolation can really enhance the overall atmosphere. After all, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world. And the downtime can be very beneficial as well, as it builds up tension, making every encounter in the world more exciting and memorable. It is much better than throwing things constantly at you, in my opinion, as that can be rather tiring at times. And the downtime also gives you more... time... to appreciate the atmosphere as well.

      chill289 I’ll be honest the game is a blast. These people saying they beat it in 10 hours literally just played it on easy and didn’t nothing but the main story. I’ve done 2 story missions and I’m at like 6 hours in because there’s so much more to do. Sure the side missions get repetitive but the combat alone is enough fun to keep me interested big time. There’s so much to upgrade. Literally everything you have can be upgraded. Not only level upgrading but each item has perks you can upgrade. Overall I’m extremely happy with the game.

    I've recently began playing Rage 2 on Xbox One X. I have to say, while there is room for some improvement, overall, it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had...so far.
    The visuals, generally, are relatively beautiful. The sound design is, generally, engaging and appropriate for the context. The controls are appropriate for the genre and are relatively intuitive (you can customize them with different presets and also remap button functions on Xbox One)
    The combat is outstanding in this game. The bugs have been minor. (one bandit, during a side quest, got stuck in a pile of junk during my merciless onslaught on their base 😎; and that's the only one I'm aware of that occured, thus far)
    The characters are engaging enough, given the context, to compell me to accomplish the next task; don't expect rpg character depth here. (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Mass Effect, etc.)
    There's a variety of fun and engaging things to do in the game world. (it's not as barren as Metal Gear Solid V: TPP's world design) While there is some room for improvement here, I'm hours in, and I haven't got bored with it yet.
    While this is a game, and therefore, should be designed to be fun, it wouldn't make sense for every inch of the game world to be _bristling_ with activity, considering the context. With the freedom open-world games offers, there is responsibility there for both the player and developer. The developer: Making appropriate content for the conditions, and the player: Taking advantage of that content, whatever way they're able and willing.
    Like every game, how you approach the game is going to determine your experience with it; and that especially applies to open-world games, because of there being more freedom.
    I could go into more depth about my experience with the game and it's features, but then I might as well do my own video review on it. 😉

    Rage 2 is an awesome [PC] game. My only gripe would be the record-setting confusion of key bindings. I've yet to find one that is comfortable when it comes to using all of your Abilities at the spur of the moment. The 'Q' + [key] seems to work fine for me personally. I did run out of good nearby keys to bind all the other Ablitlies to. Who in their right mind would ever bind the ALT key to any function in a game. And yet the ALT key is actually a default binding in this game. The game looks and performs phenomenally on my i8700k, AMD R9 Fury gaming rig. If you're playing the game from a M.2 NVME drive, you should definitely expect awesome start-up and load times. I've been there.
