Oct 9, 2011Et voila comme d' habitude on se fait entuber par ces developpeurs comme id software et compagnie...
Il me font vomir de dégout, franchement a part ce faire leurs cheques sur notre dos hein?! Carmack tu trouves que le pc n'est pas une plateforme majeure? ne sors pas de jeux dessus! sob! -
Oct 8, 2011The game works well, all maxed out 60fps, etc, but the textures looks ugly as hell and its all buggy. This feels like an unfinished product. An insult to those of us who been waiting 5 years.
ID Tech 5 is absolutely horrible, even Doom 3 looks better than this.
Please stay away from this horrible abomination, don't make the same mistake i did. Save your $60 bucks and spend it in some other game. -
Oct 9, 2011More bugs than a david attenborough nature documentary, utter stupid multiplayer modes (seriously they make a driving game the focus for multi on a FPS???) then make a 1gb patch a week after release that doesnt even fix most of the issues. The game looks like a piece of crap from 6 years ago even on a high end rig.

Oct 29, 2011do not buy this one.
this is rage.
rage makes just rage.
dont even think to buy this one..
anyway, u buy this one, u cant play.
maybe? it`s better to u.
because it`s just 3D flash game. -
Oct 9, 2011Extremely buggy, even with latest tuned drivers. This game was so overhyped, yet turned out to be a borderlands clone, but less enjoyable. Half my time was spent trying to get the game to run. Sorry Id, I won't be wasting another gaming dollar on your consolized ports.

Oct 9, 2011I opened this account just to give this a big fat juicy zero...
it would have scored 3 based on content alone but it gets:
-1 for making me update both the game and the drivers twice just to be able to play it, -1 for happily taking my money for an unfinished product and
-1 for a pathetic port.
= 0
i really really have to stop pre-ordering games... -

Oct 15, 2011This game should serve as a reminder to all of those who foolishly pre-order or purchase games before viewing the reviews and ending up disappointed in the final product.
-
Oct 15, 2011I scored this at a 1 because I haven't played it but it doesn't look that interesting... point's moot however because at $60 USD... I can't AFFORD to play it. And so... here's your 1 for being "out of reach" of casual players.

Nov 11, 2011Stopped playing after about 2 hours couldn't take the graphic problems anymore of course that was on day of launch so maybe its better by now? but I doubt it. Sloppy production, should have had a beta of the multiplayer car racing just to test even thing out and make sure it ran smooth but that would be smart and smart is not good business

Nov 11, 2011Banal banal banal. A game that promised very well, had to be a cross between Doom and Fallout. Instead he found a game where our sole purpose is: accept the mission, carrying out missions, returns, accept the mission, carrying out missions, go back. Boring, repetitive and massive graphics problems. Bad game!
-
Oct 17, 2011If not for all the buggy graphics on PC this would have been a good game. Game is fun to play for me, but it lags the replay value. No really multiplayer is another big downfall to the game for me.

Oct 22, 2011$50 for a bunch of pure bugs. If it don't crash after the intro, you get a "desktop second chance" at the main screen. And when it run (after 1 or 2 hours), it's slow, buggy and unplayable.
One thing i'm sure about this game: it's name is the best choice. That totally describe how i feel today !! -
Oct 29, 2011Game for console. Game is made for short periods of light entertainment. Perfect for children under 12. For me it is like a variant of Super Mario Kart. I bought the game based on ID reputation, game trailers and reviews. It was a mistake.

Jan 10, 2012Vehicle handling extremely poor, cannot finish even simplest required races, This makes the game virtually unplayable from Wellspring episode forward. Cannot recommend this game to anyone. Not to mention the Borderlands clone appearance. At least in Borderlands the mouse interface allows the vehicles to be drivable....

Oct 18, 2011This game is ****
**** graphics, **** sounds (when you actually hear something), **** scenario, and **** shooting (like firing with nerf guns, no punch, all soft).
DONT EVER THINK BUYING THIS -
Nov 7, 2011It is just Borderlnad clone. Graphics are really good. But IMO Borderland was a great game and this one fails. Unfortunately, this game is linear and boring.
-
Nov 10, 2011An horrible PC port, buggy, boring and too easy. I'v waited for chanlenge and fun... theyre never come. And seriously, what the **** with the texel ratio ?
-
Dec 23, 2011stupidly buggy it feels like a straight up port, the game is barely playable as theres a severe graphics problem I get when i play this game causing all sorts of textures from guns and other stupid things to replace the environment they really need to patch this game! from what i have played it feels really linear and i do feel cheated out of my £30

Mar 2, 2012Appalling experience, huge disappointment. 2 evenings of trying to get the game working on my laptop. Downloading drivers, game crashing and now I have GL error and can't even start it. Be warned - you will despise yourself if you buy this - the game couldn't have been properly tested as it is just about unplayable on pc.

Jul 24, 2012Very disappointing, just another **** generic shooter poorly ported to the PC. Combat is repetitive and boring, story is uninteresting and **** and definitely would not recommend to anyone.
-
Mar 14, 2015id Software has lost all the talent. Now they cannot implement properly any driving dynamics, cannot process a headshot and cannot understand why nobody buys their **** software.
RAGE is just a bad copy of Fallout, rushed to market without any polish.
Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring and repetitive. -

May 23, 2012I really enjoyed this game up until the end, where it just ended without any ability to continue playing the game. Not sure what was the point of upgrading vehicles, weapons and talk of how dangerous the authority is, when it was quite the opposite and saw really none of them. The ending of the game really made the journey through the entire game pointless.

Mar 18, 2013Made an account just to say I've never played this game. Which is funny cause I own it. Pretty sure Bethesda should have been sued for this pile of crap. I was never able to get passed the sequence after the really amazing looking intro.

Oct 17, 2011I actually created an account here at metacritic to share my review of this game because i was soo disappointed. ID used to be a legendary company, but this game is a horrible console port, a dated linear and boring game that seems like it's stuck in the past. Don't waste your money on this game, you'll only regret it.
-
Oct 21, 2011PC the game version the awful, bad drawing, a weak plot of game. Passage of game to the same locations as to founders laziness was to do game. The game end simply failure.
-
Nov 14, 2011Why are we getting TAT like this for gaming P.C's .Total let down , boring corridor fps action ,no free for all multi player online action, I couldnt be bothered playing after about 1hr of play so i seen the ending at my friends ,all i can say is glad i stopped playing .
NEED something new get my teeth into , this couldnt feed a sparrow . -

-
Oct 21, 201117 days since release & still an unplayable buggy mess, clearly only the minimum amount attention & testing was given to PC version leaving a horrible broken game total ripoff
-
Oct 26, 2011Out of date controls, no serious customization for the user exists in this game. You must do this, do it that way! There are plenty of pretty games these days, it doesn't cut it as a game anymore just to be pushing the envelope in graphics. The people have spoken! This game suxors.

Dec 29, 2011It was too short!!! The game once textures were fixed was ok. It just wasnt how they represented the game to be. I expected a game about Fallout 3 in length. This game was done in a day. Very repetitive and so totally on rails that there was no choices really to be made. Its pretty but this did feel more like a tech demo of see how pretty we can make a world.

Nov 8, 2011Baddest optimisation ever. I didnt got it to work on my i7 930, Corsair C4 2x2GB, HIS Radeon HD6950.
I was trying update drivers, change config files, use patches. No way for start campaign.
Carmack fully change my minds about ID Software. This fail means more then Doom 3 previously. -

Nov 27, 2011Maybe it's a good game. But I'll never know, because it runs UNPLAYABLY badly on the PC port. I am hardly alone if you read the other user reviews. Consider yourself warned.
-
Dec 18, 2011This game is just a tech demo of id's game engine, there are quests, an underlying fps matrix, vehicle riding, but what's missing entirely is the gameplay and my will to continue playing the game after 4 hours of utter boredom. I feel sorry for id's artists right now because they did a great job.

Apr 2, 2012I was expecting a story. Everything is scripted so obvious. Really boring. Disappointing. The IA is so dumb...
Every mission is essentialy the same over and over again. -
Nov 23, 2012Unplayable with a Ati Radeon HD 6790 graphics card, you have to downgrade to driver version 11.8 to be able to play. This game is more trouble than it's worth.
-
Jun 6, 2012Nice looking, but a bit slow in action and way too buggy. It is amazing that this game was released as it was - with major problems on very common video cards - but it is even worse that several months after the release major problems exist.
-
May 1, 2012Oh my lord....this game was so bad. I kept playing to actually see if the game would get...same effect as Crysis...nope...greatly disappointing. The ending...wow...I will give it a solid 2 because the graphics had their moments. Whoever bought the collectors edition, I feel sorry for you.
-
Apr 20, 2012an ok game to play but horrible low res graphics break the immersion. at first I thought I could look past the graphics but the more I play, the more they bother me.
-
Aug 3, 2012Simply unsatisfying. It had potential and it had hype. Neither were anywhere near fulfilled. Admittedly it does have those little things that make you believe when you hear about it, but when you see that it isn't all that developed you get doubly let down.
You can easily have fun with the game, but the entire multiplatform business ruined what could have been a real gem. -
Aug 3, 2012i dont undersatnd what went wrong .but it has.terrible textures even on pc.i have a high end pc i built and not my 1st build.the idea is amazing the world setting is awsome ,but the bugs,omg the bugs.horrendous texture draw.i cant believe this made it out to the public total failure.i want my money back Carmack

Nov 16, 2011Carmack is a joke, releasing a game in AN old engine, go learn D3D, your game doesn't even support SLi properly. No updates are being done, what a joke, spent 50 dollars for nothing, won't be buying anything from iD software anymore.

Nov 11, 2011Its more than 1 month after its released. But anyway after patching and up to dating drivers. Its still HAVE crashes, textures bagging...
Story is intersting for the first 10 minutes. Gameplay is boring. Graph style is bad( borderlands and New Vegas have better...) I would not advice to buy this! **** game.
I make 1 of 10 cause enemies have good mocap motions... -
Apr 5, 2012I assumed that technical issues would be resolved by now, so I bought it. Turns out I was wrong. I have a gtx 570 but apparently that isn't good enough to run the game without texture problems.

Dec 28, 2011It doesn't work on the PC.
What more is there to say? It is a terrible PC port in which PC owners were scammed. If this was any other industry iD would be sued for sale of goods not fit for purpose. -
Jul 16, 2012Utter **** Nothing else to say really. This game tries so hard to make you stop playing, this has got to be the shortest time I've spent in any game, and not because I wasn't willing to continue but because it wasn't even **** playable. id softwhore, welcome to my ****list.

Jul 22, 2012The game doesn't work, it runs smooth but textures are bugged, spent two days trying everything, it won't work for me. I kinda feel like I've been stolen, we should all bring them to court and get our money back, you can't get stuff that doesn't work on the market and steal peoples money like that, this should not be legal...

CD-ActionNov 9, 2011It seems id Software is still living in its golden days and failed to notice that times have changed since Doom and Quake. Rage is just a decent, linear, old school shooter combined awkwardly with an arcade racing game. The world is only 'kinda openish' and the story must have been written by the coders while they were compiling the alpha version. The game looks great though – if you're lucky enough to have the it run smoothly and without technical issues that haunt the PC version. [November 2011, p.46]
