Gotcha, thanks. I don't usually pay much attention to reviews, but I'll probably check a few out before deciding if I get the game right away or wait a bit.

Interesting...I have yet to receive mine but I wonder if it's related to being an Aus/NZ purchase.
Walmart.com has the game for $49.94 on all platforms if you don't mind ordering from there.
Look at your order confirmation email, they don't send a separate "Here's your key" email, the link for your key is in your order email. Scroll down to where it says "
Rage 2 PC (US) - Download Link (download)" and click on the download link to see your key.
So god mode on plus give all and unlimited mana and instakill activated.
Looks really good and smooth/stylish. I just hope it's better than the first game, which was interesting but in the end disappointing.
not a game ill pick up right now but most likely sometime down the road, hopefully everyone enjoys!
Yeah sadly it seems the Aus/NZ keys are still waiting on them uploading. I've just sent a message through to see what the ETA on that is but no big deal, got Div 2 to keep playing :P
The first RAGE was a piece of cake.
I've played it at launch on PC at max level of difficulty, using a gamepad to not exploit the challenge and it was still so damn easy. It also sucked as FPS: controls and guns were good but most of situations were fragile and uninteresting. Emenies was just smoke in the face: they moved and chatted alot but they sucked in positioning, grenades awarness, pathfinding and other concrete gameplay stuff
In every footage I've seen this one looks the same, but with more style.
When people talk about how this game reminds DOOM 2016 I hope they know that DOOM is a game of substance, with demons doing their fucking job and not a parade of puppets waiting to be wasted while I do Tony Hawk with guns.

I got busy this last few weeks so I'm yet to finish Days Gone.
Might pick it up after finishing it
im in the middle of Days Gone and MK11 campaign myself
lots of good stuff right now and my backlog is only getting bigger lol
is RAGE 2 region locked can't seem to find it on steam in the middle east btw it was there before for pre orders
I thought I was at the end of Days Gone but turns out to be just the first half lol.....
it really isn´t. first, the game is much easier than Doom, it also hasn´t this constant arena like barrage, you have to find the action by yourself here...which mostly happens in outposts which need 3-5minutes for a clear, after that it is back to driving around.
the game shines indoor, basically the whole open world part is what drags the game down because when it is linear action it is awesome but yeah, you have to drive around tediously. there is also no clever oldschool leveldesign like in Doom.(finding keycards and stuff, hidden pathways and so on). there are also numerous points of interest where nothing happens at all, there are just a few chests waiting to be looted.(like in Far Cry where it also sucked, i want to shoot and not loot random shit in points of interests)
the biggest offender is, they lock weapons behind random question marks on the map instead of giving them to the player at a good pace. so, sure, you will have youtube videos telling you where to find the weapons but playing blind you will have to clear 30 question marks on the map and hope that there is a weapon there for you. baffling design decision in a shooter...instead of giving you tools for having fun they expect you to do literal busywork to get more weapons, it is annoying.
enemy variety is also really lame, there are 3 or 4 factions which more or less are all the same bar one which teleports around and is armored and a few big enemies but these were all scripted fights so far. the biggest problem is that the AI is really dumb cannonfodder, no flanking, no tactics, just a bunch of guys waiting to get their heads smacked in.
Doom 2016 was a much better game than Rage 2.
No offense but, why do you keep playing? You clearly seem to hate the game based on your posts in this thread.
Man, game looks like a blast.
Can you quick save anytime? If yes and the combat encounters indeed happen in 5 minute bursts, I'm definitely playing this shit on the hardest difficulty. Should be a ton of fun.
to me it seems the game just isnt very good, not that he's hating the game. The points he makes, that action spread too far apart with nothing in between, weapons hidden in quetion marks instead of having and upwards progression, seem like concrete negative points, not an opinion. And the game also looks like it almost plays itself, with the lack of any challenge and difficulty. Dont know what they were thinking with that. And its Avalanche after all, they really dont know how to structure their games with engaging content. They just throw a map and litter it with points of interest.
I don't understand how they messed up the car combat when it was a blast in Mad Max? How does that happen?
My personal experience isn't really in line with this - you can drive from one objective to another and ignore everything going on, but I usually get sidetracked every few seconds with loads of outposts, bandit camps and instances of opposing factions fighting in the open world. For instance i got sidetracked for about 10 minutes because i encountered 2 tanks and numerous ground enemies engaged in their own faction war which i butted into. Usually this would be the type of mundane shit that turns me off the game in a couple of hours, but the gameplay here is so much fun that I don't mind it (and I actually can't wait to play it again)
I also find hard difficulty to be a good mix between making you feel op but still providing a bit of a challenge.
Im enjoying my time...but its slowly starting to feel never ending really hope i get done with it soon tbh
Have you played on bethseda launcher? Can you tell me if i can use a gamepad?
To be honest I don't really see how anyone who enjoyed car combat in mad max would hate this.. it's pretty much the same thing with less car customisation and more arcadey handling. The impact of ramming into cars and exploding convoys is still there
Everyone who played an Avalanche game knows already how this game works.
It's like Mad Max with the Doom 2016 gunplay and some powers.
If you can live with the open world and mission design from Avalanche and love the Doom 2016 gunplay you will love this game.
I can of course just speak for myself but i stopped with Mad Max after 2 hours, 1 hour for Just Cause 3 and around 2 hours for Just Cause 4. Rage 2 i played over 14 hours already...
The game is a 70% okish game but the gunplay elevates the rest big time.

Dphex has done with multiple games this year including Days Gone and The Division 2. A lot of what he says has merit but I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Is the open world as barren as it seems. Thats my main concern. Lots of large empty swaths of space with very little engaging activites in between
Care to elaborate on this statement? I have bought a lot of keys through G2A in the past and i never had any issue with them. Is there something i should be aware of?
Basically the marketplace there sells a lot of stolen or illegal obtained keys. With stolen CC details.
Oh wow. Didn't know that. Guess i was lucky so far. Good to know. Any other tipical key sites that one should be aware of other then G2A?
You can save the game at any time. However, if you save during a mission it will always start you at the last checkpoint. Outside of a mission it will place you at the last safe location on load.
Do yourself a favor and just ignore their posts. It's like this with every major release, they get the game early, play the shit out of it before anyone else has it, and then usually whine incessantly about the game.
It's actually quite ridiculous.
I don't think so, I think they just unlock it everywhere at once. I live in New Zealand, and so it should be technically releasing in 20mins, but the countdown says it will unlock at 11am tomorrow
On this site I've seen the complete opposite far too many times. People who get early copies tend to be excitebale about the fact they have it early and praise the game more so than it deserves.
I'm finding it actually quite refreshing to read some sober early impressions, in my own miserable way 😂
reached the end on nightmare, took me around 16hrs but i did sidecontent. there is still a metric shit ton to do though. i didn´t even had all weapons and skills and i have no idea where they are, i did all question marks on the map...
the main story is more like a big main quest but surely not the meat of the game, this is very much an open world themepark game, the story is just there.
7/10 from me, the shooting is great but happens only in concentrated spots and the open world is not really interesting, console graphics also suck.
no offense but being critical doesn´t mean hating something.
