Rage 2 is releasing May 14.

I remember playing the first one and I enjoyed every second of it.
I don't tend to like open-world games that much, but oh boy with Rage it was different.
I remember buying Mad Max (which to date is my favourite open world game) after playing Rage since they seemed very similar.

I'm super excited for Rage 2, I am however a bit skeptical cause the last time a game with pink on their covers with powder and flowers and shit came out I was highly disappointed (cough cough Far Cry New Dawn).

What are your thoughts on Rage 2?
 
Mad max was epic ! Rage 2 dynamics as from the current videos looks to set similar tone
 
Funny enough, I actually got the first RAGE because I enjoyed Mad Max so much (one of the most underrated 'movie' games IMHO).
I however didn't catch the RAGE bug when I played it and stopped after only investing like 3 hours (perhaps I was just in the wrong mindset or space at the time, maybe worth another shot).

But yes, I agree - from what I've seen on RAGE 2 videos etc, it looks like something to look forward to, that is for sure!
I loved Bulletstorm and RAGE 2 seems like it has some Bulletstorm-ish flavor to it too.
 
RAGE2 looks like an improvement over the first in every way. I might actually like this one.

Ah man Bulletstorm was amazing!
 
It's release day, mine is already downloaded, I might stream it for an hour or so before CSGO practice tonight :sneaky:
 
Who else is happy they didn't pre-order it? It was just cracked within 24hours of release, and deservedly-so! Bethesda purposefully withheld the fact that RAGE2 was infected with DENUVO and they only made this fact public 24hours before release, which means that people who pre-ordered the game thinking that it wouldn't be infected with DENUVO, would actually end up paying full-price for a game with DENUVO, which is a hugely anti-consumer move by Bethesda... and as they say 'Karma is a bitch' because now the pirates get the full delux edition of the game WITHOUT DENUVO for FREE within 24hours of release... so the official release of the full game costs $120USD AND it is infected with DENUVO, while the pirates get it for free without DENUVO... honestly I think Bethesda deserves this, and to top it all off: The game is sitting at 60% positive reviews on steam, so it's very clear that this isn't a good game (or nearly as good as the 74% positive of the original RAGE). Oh, and ontop of infecting their game with DENUVO, Bethesda also withheld content on day1 of release, which means they had content already completed before release, but instead of adding it to their game, they pay-walled it and called it DLC... that's another massively anti-consumer move by them.

They've already removed it, you can relax now.
 
I like Rage 2, it's not amazing and it's not horrible, it's just a good old fashioned video game. It sort of feels like Doom 2016 and Borderlands had a baby.
 
Game is still R510/520 yes not bad thr game to look forward to is sinking city
 
I am kinda eh about rage 2, the gun play is super fun, the other stuff is really eh, the powers don't feel like powers, driving really sucks, like alot, I cry a little bit every time I see I need to go more than a 1000 whatever to get to a point
 
Anyone find the textures too blurry and low resolution?

The graphics doesn't look great or on par for a 2019 game. However, game-play feels smooth and fun.

Remember it has that FPS target where it dynamically lowers your resolution to hit the desired FPS.

So you can just turn that off or on manual, I can't remember what they call it and have it max res at all times, but yes I think it also just looks average, probably to compensate for open world.

At least you're getting into the spirit of the game. They even made it the title!

I said the same thing on Friday when I streamed the game. I felt it was not realistic, like I struggled to submerge myself into the game, whereas with rage (the first one) this was completely different.

It's not a shit game so far tho, I had fun playing it, I think I expected a bit more in terms of graphics tho.
 
Based on those powers (and the announcer DLC) I was expecting more Bulletstorm and less Doom.

I not saying we need another Bulletstorm but we need another shooter with crazy hang-time kicks, an electro-leash/whip and hilarious kills to obtain.

I'm disappointed in how low-key and reserved this game appears to be comparatively.
