Meodia: Rage Review

Meodia reviews id Software's game, Rage;

"Rage has an interesting history; it was originally going to be massive sprawling game with multiple hubs and hours of side-quests and mini-games but id was intent on bringing Rage onto consoles, more importantly onto the Xbox 360...They also decided to universally cut content on the PS3 and PC versions so 360 owners wouldn’t feel left out. Naturally nobody was happy with this decision, but what’s the game that we’re left with? Well let’s take a look."

Being a Fallout fan, and seeing the similarities I feel drawn to getting this game. Is that a fair comparison?

I'll have to make it one of the next in line I purchase.

The setting is very similar to fallout but it has a different feel. Few RPG elements and no pausing in the middle of combat to highlight what body part you would like to shoot at.

seanpitt235239d ago

This game is nothing like fallout just to be clear on that rage at first is a very very good game the shooting mechanics are the best ive seen awesome ragdoll affects good graphics. But after that it goes down hill iam afraid its nothing like an rpg the story is good at first then it loses the plot all together and it has the worst ending in gaming history no its that bad. It felt rushed at the end when it took id somewhat 6 years to make after you finished the game thats it there is no replay value at all sadly.Only if fallout had the shooting mechanics of rage and graphics then that would be the god of all rpgs.

It looks like a great game. Might get it, kind of looks like a mix of fallout (for the setting) and border lands to me which I'm sure cant be a bad thing.

I hope the devs can break away from MS and take their IP's with them in the not to distant future. This entire consolidation and mass industry firings that MS has spearheaded has been nothing but a disaster for everyone except the already rich creatively bankrupt tw@ts at Microsoft.

MS is nothing but a drain on the entire gaming industry and every facet of it.

There is precedent already with bungie separating from Microsoft but I doubt Microsoft will let them go out with their IP’s without paying a huge price

Good for them. From what I hear Microsoft supports it but unfortunately it still doesnt change much but its a step in the right direction. More devs across the entire industry should do this. But regardless, you just love to hate anything Microsoft or xbox. Who's fault is it that sony closed down studios? Who spearheaded that? What i don't understand is that if you hate Microsoft so much why the concern. If this bothers you so much you may want to find another hobby. Free up some of that mental energy for your own well being and stop worrying about shit you cant change.

@FlaggerD care to look at yourself in the mirror, obscure? It's like your 132456th account now, and all of them have you being obsessed with Sony. You just can't handle the fact they literally stomped on Xbox, LMAO! Juggernaut my ass haha. Xbots claiming Expedition 33 winning GotY is a win for Xbox because it was on Game pass is the funniest shit ever LMAO!

Good for them. With AI coming for their jobs and their new corporate overlords working overtime to replace them, it’s a smart move.

Notellin170d ago

It won't be long before Microsoft lays off everyone in gaming and routes that money over into AI.

Time for everyone at Xbox to update the resume and start coming up with Indie game pitches.

The point of unionizing is collective bargaining. Sadly, I do not believe they have any leverage, which is likely why Microsoft isn't impeding them: The investment in AI is gargantuan. We're talking about a data center in Wisconsin that's about 200 city blocks. That is massive and insane.
