Gonna write the review once i finish the game. The side content is fun, but the graphics for me sour the experience a tiny bitSurely you should give it more time than just a few hours before writing a review.
I've put 20 hours in and still wouldn't feel qualified to comment fully.
Yes it has some technical issues but on X it runs at 60fps 99% of the time and I'm having a blast.
Yeah this is bollocks. First of all it's hold and not press so they should get their facts right. Second of change it to auto climb whenever I'm near the ladder
Re-loaded and killed the drone, voice over says it;s Authority tech and we should just shoot them on site pretty much. Event log is data about the data logging stuff in the world. I'm not sure if they have any significance beyond world building.
I'm actually enjoying this process more than I thought I would.
It just says E , it doesn't say hold or press. It should say hold I guess, but there is a progress bar displayed...Yeah this is bollocks. First of all it's hold and not press so they should get their facts right. Second of change it to auto climb whenever I'm near the ladder
It tracks how many drones you've destroyed in the statistics screen. I haven't looked, but is there possibly an Achievement/Trophy for destroying so many?
The first Rage was 720p and dynamic so sometimes it was even lower. Rage 2 looks way better.In my memory, Rage 1 had better graphics than this.
Am I wrong?
For the hell of it, I felt like comparing both games' versions of Wellspring. All shots are 4K resized to 1920x1080. The RAGE 1 shots I took like 6 years ago.In my memory, Rage 1 had better graphics than this.
Am I wrong?
Well I guess I'm done with the game, I tried the race like thirty times and never even came close to finishing in first, so I can't continue the story.
Ctrl+f?Can I just say how much I loathe when there's abilities mapped to keybindings that you can't rebind?
Especially when the default one is so awkward to use.
Can someone tell me how you do the ability that is like a force push? I can't for the life of me remember the keybinding, it required you to push two buttons to do it and I forgot and it's not in the bloody keybindings anywhere.
The Giant Bomb QL was depressing. Jeff gets to the boss, shoots it with 4 rockets, and then says "Maybe we should be playing on Hard"Really wish astro would stop baiting my impulse purchasing trigger finger. It's been hovering since before release, Giant Bomb QL diminished it considerably but then you have to go and keep posting don't you.
I was drunk playing at 5am and couldn't see the chest in front of me.I got a bit tipsy drinking some left over wine and I can't clear this Recharge station because I keep missing things...
Also, I think this game might be awesome. I could be drunk.
WHO KNOWS
It's fuuuuuun! :DReally wish astro would stop baiting my impulse purchasing trigger finger. It's been hovering since before release, Giant Bomb QL diminished it considerably but then you have to go and keep posting don't you.
lol, I was running in circles trying to find the last /4 chest and then when I saw it I knew I needed a break. I don't want to stop, though...I was drunk playing at 5am and couldn't see the chest in front of me.

Might be hallucinating then or mixed up with something else. I know there's a progress bar. Just give me an option to auto climb and decend at leastIt just says E , it doesn't say hold or press. It should say hold I guess, but there is a progress bar displayed...

Close.. doesn't take much more than an interest to get me to jump so you're doing well.
Only things outstanding are visuals - how bad? I'm on the X and am the guy that would take 4k/30 over 1080/60 so it's disappointing to hear they're lacklustre. Does it persistently stand out past initial load to the detriment of immersion?
Past that - how long is the intro/tutorials?
Have a clear weekend with Monday off so this could be fun to play with. AC:Odyssey is my current home console hook but this has enough of a pace to not conflict I think.
This really is the blocker for me I feel. I'm all down for buying an average game I'll have fun with, which this sounds like, but I do put a lot of stock in visuals and if it's that poor then I can see it potentially nagging at me while I'm trying to enjoy it.if the X version is like the Pro the graphics suck, it is really blurry and many things look awful like the texture work. some things have an early last gen look to them. some character models and animations that are on the stiffer side are also not exactly great.
Mad Max it was at least worth it to destroy them and then pick up their scrap, but in RAGE 2 you just get nothing for the trouble. Just let them drive past.I do wish some of the random encounter stuff had any appeal. Like you can find random cars shooting at you but there doesn't seem to be any incentive to engage them if they're not part of a convoy. Unless I'm missing something. Didn't seem to drop any notable loot, and I couldn't figure out a way to say, disable a vehicle and then add it to my collection.

That said I'm still enjoying AC, am only 11 hours in and barely dented the map and have zero, zero need for a new game. That's never stopped my backlog growing though.

Also that's one of the first bosses in the game (it's from the first or second mission of Dr. Kvasir) and he encountered it after 8 hours of play. No shit he's dead with 4 hits of a powered up RPG. You're kinda not supposed to have that shit when you get there.The Giant Bomb QL was depressing. Jeff gets to the boss, shoots it with 4 rockets, and then says "Maybe we should be playing on Hard"
Ya, no shit. I had to turn it off there, I couldn't watch any more.
Overall I think it looks great. It's soft for sure but in the moment to moment gameplay you aren't gonna notice it. I wouldn't suggest playing on base consoles. But if you're on X/Pro/PC it's perfectly fine. With all the talk about the softness and textures before I got my copy I was a little worried but I've been pleasantly surprised. And as others have said, turn off CA.This really is the blocker for me I feel.

I'm not sure if you need it... Odyssey is a good game and this one will discount soon no doubt...astro and The Curry Witch

I did have the RPG by time I got to that boss, but all the rockets I had in my inventory only took down a part of the first section of its health bar. Then I had to disable the weak points on its shoulders with the assault rifle and finished it off with the shotgun.Also that's one of the first bosses in the game (it's from the first or second mission of Dr. Kvasir) and he encountered it after 8 hours of play.

Exactly. It was the same for me. I had the rocket launcher but I didn't power it up yet so I had to finish it with the shotgun. Jeff was just way too overpowered by that point, and kinda did the boss dirty with that in the QL.I did have the RPG by time I got to that boss, but all the rockets I had in my inventory only took down a part of the first section of its health bar.

It wasn't the greatest fight ever or anything, but it was sure as hell more involved than firing a few rockets at it and going "That's it?".
The Focus mode really should emit some light.Why cant I see shit inside anywhere? It's so dark. Theres no flashlight. Far as I can tell not even an option to adjust brightness (PS4). How did they ship this
I turned off chromatic aberration (on 1X), and honestly I don't find the graphics particularly blurry at all. I also wouldn't personally call the textures awful, but I don't spend much time staring at rocks when I'm more busy trying to gun down convoys or mutants.

I honestly don't think you'll regret it. It's a perfect game to pick up and play in-between stuff.astro honestly having something new I can enjoy casually on the X alongside Odyssey sounds good to me. Loving Kassandra but need a break from her sass every now and again. Plus, best shotgun in a game in awhile? I'm down..
Apparently you can't screenshot the dashboard?
Thinking of buying this as you can get it pretty cheap but it would be a bethesda launcher code. Is the Bethesda launcher still a piece of shit?
There's no reality in which I'd regret it, so it's really just a question of how long I play it now. Sounds good and thanks for sharing your views on it. If I've enjoyed Destiny since release, No Man's Sky before even the day-1 patch, The Order:1886 and Anthem at full price then I'm certainly no stranger to liking 'mediocre' games, so getting a sense from people that are enjoying it is always useful. I know I'll have a hoot with this one from yours and others impressions.I honestly don't think you'll regret it. It's a perfect game to pick up and play in-between stuff.
Shotgun is beast! >:D
