Rage 2 Review Scores are Too Low

so they're mad a game that doesn't do anything interesting aside from combat, which doom 2016 did just as good without all the dumb open world bullshit of rage 3 got a seven. seven is the score you give when a game is fine, but doesn't do anything really ground breaking. it'll scratch an itch but do nothing really beyond that. this sounds like a perfect description of rage 2. seven isn't a bad score lawrence, it means its a good game, its just more of the same. a game needs to really stand out to be worthy of more than that. all this video is bitching a fine game wasn't received like a master peice that changed the genre. this video doesn't need to exist, its just pointless bitching. i usually think you're a smart, well throughout person lawrence. this video was neither.

I miss the uncut BTS versions of these.

i can say with my time playing Rage 2 the combat is really the saving grace. the open world, driving, and NPCs are sleep inducing to me. to anyone looking at Rage 2 thinking if they should buy it i would say either play Doom (2016) again, wait for the new Doom, or at least wait for Rage 2 to go on sale.

Weird how they talked about the combat for a good 3 minutes but skimped over talking about the open world. Well, I won't because it sucks. the open world is a big bland dusty time waster where you need to travel from point to point following big arrows on the road you set up as your way marker. Nothing really attacks you that's a challenge and offroading isn't even fun. Going off the path makes you go considerably(like %50) slower which is weird because all the cars look like they were built for off-roading and all the cars handle like your driving around school buses and none of the roads were made with that in mind. Don't get me started on the motorcycles there just not drivable period. It may not be a big thing, but the world is big, like really big. Half your game is going to be driving, and driving sucks. if half your time in the game sucks then maybe that's why people are having a problem with it. In my opinion, the game should have just ditched the open world and keep everything else and it would be 10/10

Do people still care about critic scores? I never even look at it these days. All I care about are the user scores. Critics can be bought, fairly easily at that. It's harder to buy the opinion of the people that are actually buying your games. Except the shills. They're always easy,

Also hot take. Rage 1 is an underrated game.

I totally agree, I had very low expectations going in but the game is getting absolutely shat on and it’s unjustified!

Did not played it but maybe reviews are about balance, great over the top actions and HARD Stop to ok-ish characters, story, ok open world, back to AMAZING actions. wolfensteins had REALY good gunplay and action but equally good i think cutscenes, story, little tarrantino style montages was nice to look at and enjoy before you came back to the action. Borderlands is Great lootershooter but people didnt mind the story, have a few laughs and start shooting again. If there is a good illusion of progression you are more likely to be tricked into a gameloop. games are games, more often then not you are reapeting the same scheme of actions for hours, its a designers job to make that ilussion beliveable.

bought rage two, and im hype to play it!
