Very pretty
We'll be testing on PC and playing multiplayer in the coming days, but I felt it was important to share what the game is versus what people expect it to be. This is a massive disappointment.

Wow, Ben Kuchera (from the Ars Technica review) really killed it. Problem is, all his points seem quite valid. Don't read the quoted bullet points from consolitis, read the full review for yourselves.

From joystiq:
Quote: | 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. |
Oh oh.. that was supposed to be a 15+ hours game, no?

PC impressions from some neogafers

Same here on a Radeon 5870.
This shit is awful. The textures in the distance don't even load, and I'm getting some weird-ass flickering problem.
Fuck me for hoping that id would come through on this. |
Id....im dissapoint

i7 950, 12 GB RAM, Radeon 5870 GPU. I guess I know why ATI is releasing Rage specific drivers soon. |
edit aaaah you beat me to it!
edit all ati users maybe they haven't installed the latest Rage specific drivers.

Quote: | First impressions on PC (I mean, like 10 minutes into game):
- No graphics options except rez, AA, and GPU transcoding
- Had GPU Trans on at first and had shit ton of frame drops (SLI GTX 580), so turned it off
- Solid 60 FPS, looks gorgeous
- Screen tearing like a bitch
- Texture pop-in when turning |
Quote: | Holy shit!!!!! Astronomical amount of texture pop-in and tearing and I'm getting 20fps @ 1080p with an e8400 / 6870. Haha, owned. Should have bought for 360. |

I'm laughing at the people who have bailed on the game after ONE PERSON says "Skip it. . ." Jesus are people that fucking hive minded? This game looks fun as hell. The ONLY games I care about story are RPGs and games specifically built around established characters (Arkham City, GOW, etc.)
And I lol'd at the save system gripes. Oh no - you have to actually go in and manually save your game. What asshole is letting the system control their saves anyway. Here I was expecting there to be NO manual save, and the save system completely broken. No its just the system that no one in 2011 should be relying on that is broken.

Quote: | Yeah, totally unplayable right now. What the fuck, id.
BTW I'm already using the "RAGE Performance" drivers from AMD and they don't fix shit. The fucked up artifacting/flickering and texture streaming problems are there. And the framerate is obviously fucked up. |

Some nvidia users with GTX 460s report 60fps, so at least that's something...
