While I like Rage so far (actually really do), its a lot like Borderlands (which I LOVED). So lets not claim its new game play. You basically do everyones bidding for them, for weapons and stature. To help save the world of course. Just like borderlands. So many things are similar or exactly the same. Sure Rage was announced first, but Borderlands came out 2 years ago. Yes this has been brought up before, but its true.
Game play is most important, but graphics are too. It is a valid complaint when the game doesnt look like screen shots from years ago, or even games that came out years ago. Not to mention the problems they had the first week it was out with graphical problems like tearing and pop up.
Personally I think most people are upset because most old school gamers had high hopes for this game because id made it. id was an instrumental part of early PC fps gaming (obviously) and they have always been on the forefront of graphics. Their engines the benchmark for graphic cards. Not so much this time. Add to the fact that the PC suffered from being co-developed along side the console, its a bitter pill to swallow. Some people feel betrayed because Carmack and id were founded on PC gaming, and then consoles came along id went with them. I realize its all about the bottom line, but PC gamers (or anyone for that matter) can be a fickle bunch. Im sure down the road they will get higher res textures, or someone will mod it. Bugs will be fixed, etc. Then it will be an excellent game. As it is now, its good, but could have been so much better upon release, imo.
Well, I fixed the vsync, but the texture pop in is the worst I have seen in any game to date. It feels like I'm running an old ti4200 card with how slow the textures load and I see it when doing a 180 every couple seconds. If I can fix this I may play through the game, but it still looks like ass unfortunately...
It runs perfectly here on i5 2500k and hd 5850. 60fps with 4xaa silky smooth framerates, no textures, no flickering, no crashes.
Man I love this game, so far up to the bit where I've gone back to Redstone after the Gearhead's power plant mission. So far so good as the story line goes, I've changed my initial score of 5/10 to 7/10 with points deducted for the still present and very little graphics flickering and popping and distorted low quality up close on the textures, but nonetheless, 16x AA, High Anistropy, Vsync'd the wastelands looks very nice and detailed. I don't know why people here are still bitching and not playing the game, I mean ok people get it now that this game is bugged and highly flawed and that I.D fucked up big time but no need to keep bitching for freakin' 65 pages with the exception of those that didn't.

Got this from Shacknews...more crappy news.
"We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in Rage," Carmack revealed on Twitter. It'll look prettier, you see.
Asked whether id would also be releasing higher-resolution textures, Carmack's reply made it look unlikely.
"Our first test of a higher res page file didn't help much, because most source textures didn't actually have any more detail," he responded.
There's no word yet on when this PC patch will arrive, nor what else might be in it.

I don't think that's a big deal. The problem isn't low res textures, the problem is we don't see the high res versions of the textures unless the stars align due to their on-the-fly 'optimizations'.
Just finished the game this morning... What a let down....
Waiting on my new build to try this game. Hope that you are not right, was really anticipating this game.
Take your 16AA down to 8AA and see if that looks even a little better to you like it did for me. I'm convinced there is/was some kind of "glitch" there.
I don't really think a new build is necessary for this game. An Nvidia GPU capable of enabling GPU Transcoding, a quad core CPU, and an SSD looks to be all you really need to totally enjoy this game.
This game felt like a mash between Fallout and Half Life 2, with an ending as disappointing as Farcry 1. I also find that name "Wasteland" ironic because it is in fact such a waste. All that space and they just have you driving between missions with little to no reason to ever get of of your vehicle and explore. It was also way to easy and not balanced right. I never felt that I was low on ammo or had to be careful how much I used. You can also tell this game was built around the 360. The disc swap in the game is obvious. That's just a fucking disappointment. The game is fun in some parts but overall it's not that great.
This is how I felt. All around the game was a huge letdown in every aspect of it. Graphics, story, combat, missions, and the ending all sucked ass. I'm perplexed when I see some of the people in here talk about the great atmosphere, AI, graphics, and and guns. I stop and wonder if we're playing the same game. There hasn't really been any redeeming qualities about the game.
Given a choice, would you prefer id had delayed the game for more testing, getting the drivers ready and patching it. Or are you happy you get to play it now.
I'm kinda suprised id released it in this state - they certainly could afford to delay it another month easily and still make the holiday season.
They'd pretty much have to start from scratch with new/better content IMO... the ideas might've been OK, but they seems to kinda skimp on the overall execution, and a bad ending like this is just an insult to many gamersGiven a choice, would you prefer id had delayed the game for more testing, getting the drivers ready and patching it.
