Game releases in about a week, how hyped are you? Day one? Waiting for reviews? I'll toss a poll up shortly.
Rage 2 - Hype Check

Day one baby
Loved Mad Max's car combat and the shooting looks stellar
Will be a nice break from the more serious apocalypse open world of Days Gone
The main Avalanche team have never really disappointed

Didn't realize this was coming out so soon. Cautiously optimistic. The last trailer looked fun though.
Waiting for reviews and impressions. If it has any sort of "Get rage points to progress" or "Take over this area to progress" i'm out.
Game looks good, just waiting for reviews before I drop the cash. Looks like a really fun open world sandbox and I like the art style and environments.
Game looks great, but I am waiting for reviews to validate the hype.
Like, I'm totally interested and ready to give it a day 1 purchase if reviews come back and validate that it's as positive as it looks. And I'm not guessing or expecting GOTY-contender quality from the game, I just want to know 1) if the PS4 Pro version maintains a rock solid 60fps performance and 2) if the game favorably compares to recent Far Cry games in its moment-to-moment. A 7/10 quality with solid PS4 Pro performance is really the baseline I'm wanting from it to give it a full priced purchase.

I'm looking forward to playing this later. Sadly the Steam version is exclusive to Steam store (all other stores sell keys for the terrible bethesda.net launcher) so I will wait for a sale on Steam. Not excited enough to pay 60 euros for it.
Day one, loved the first and the sequel looks better in every way. The preview videos where really good.
Day 0! Already pre-ordered and waiting for next week. Releases alongside A Plagues Tale: Innocence which I also have pre-ordered. Just need to decide what I'm playing first.
60 fps on console hype. I wish the console holders gave an actual shit about framerate instead of just pulling the FOV way in and going, "LOOK AT OUR GRAPHICS!".
No hype
Looks like Bulletstorm without the scoring system to provide you with an incentive to go out of your way to do all the cool shit that's possible. The marketing material seems to really scream "look at all this cool shit you can do in RAGE 2" but all it does is leave me thinking "why would I bother if simply killing enemies the straightforward way will also be the most optimal and fastest way?"
I saw some of the footage where they showed off the Gravity Dart Launcher in debug mode and it looked like a toy that'd be fun for an hour before you get tired of it and never touch it again. The fact that all abilities are locked behind cooldowns also looks like it'll hamper how creative you can get with them.
I'm only interested because they showed off some enemies and gameplay elements that make it look like it isn't your regular generic retro old-school shooter throwback or cinematic corridor shooter, but the hamfisted inclusion of open world, crafting, vehicle combat, seems like this game will be little more than a generic powertrip hitscan shooter But With Superpowers, reminiscent of that brief period of time in 2010 where developers had no idea how to execute FPS games properly anymore and decided to shove in some superpowers to see if it will stick

It looks really fun to me, but I want to wait for reviews. Does anyone know when the embargo is up?
It's a good time to release it. If there were more games coming out right now, I wouldn't care as much, but I am hyped.
A sequel to one of the more disappointing games I've played from the developer of one of the most generic open world games I've ever played wasn't something I was asking for, but it looks really good, considering.

I'm hyped, but going to wait for reviews to drop. I'm currently playing Days Gone so that should hold me over for a while
Why would you bother doing the cool shit? Well, because...it's cool shit!
The only footage I've seen is generic "take over the Outpost" stuff, so no hype here. I'll be looking at reviews.
