They give you a "BFG" (needs to be green and more destructive to be called BFG id, fuck you ) right at the end. Now in any shooter -especially id's own fucking shooters- something like that suggests something huge is about to give you some surprise buttsecks with a powerdrill. No, in RAGE that means you get the same fucking piece of shit soldiers you've been fighting half the game, combined with..*drumroll*..more fucking weak ass mutants. The illusion of freedom is also fucking annoying, it would've been so much better if it didn't have that, because there's nothing open about it at all.

Most annoying of all are the missions. The main storyline gets you to each "instance", which is followed by an NPC and/or job board "quest" for that same fucking instance. Moreover, the second time you go back you do the exact same thing in reverse, with the third time having one extra door which was previously blocked by rubble or some other shit available; and your main path blocked by rubble mysteriously.

Seriously, why did it take them 6 fucking years to come up with a game that recycles every level 3 times to give it some substance, on an engine which is 6 years old as well - and still have bugs in addition to that? Because the engine, despite what Carmack says and some people believe (looking at you, consolitis ), this is not a rewritten engine. Everything about it is Tech 4: it looks just as plastic as D3/Q4, has the EXACT same movement quirks and benefits as Q4, and just feels exactly like Q4. Not saying that's a bad thing, although it's a well known fact that I'm not a fan of Tech 4 - with all the patches it got, it became a fairly decent engine. All we have here is the stuff used in ET:QW and all the patches for that/Q4 all rolled into a new package. Not a new fucking engine.

For those skipping to this: why did I feel the need to post this? Because I fucking got it right. Everything I said beforehand has come true. It is a console oriented game running on a patched-up Tech 4. It is not a true PC game and the only thing that saved it for us is the fact that it still is Tech 4. Had they actually done what Carmack claims, which is rewriting the engine, I highly doubt it would've felt so good in the shooting department.

id have forgotten where the fuck they come from and this game hasn't put them back up there with the best developers in the world. For that the game should've been tested properly, show some improvement on their 6 year old tech, and not be a 4-hour game artificially made longer by reusing the same fucking shit three times in a row. And that is aside from the lack of story and AI.

I am on nVidia so I had no problems from the start at all.
