RAGE 2 - Review Thread
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
honestly the best shot this game has at relevancy is if its metacritic score ends up being 69 and people can keep posting its a nice score
6 is "fair" which doesn't sound like a leap. It can also be seen as a 3/5. People complain about them not using the whole scale and then complain when they do use it.
Well, the reviews are exactly what I've expected from this game. I still think it's going to be a lot of fun to play, just like the first one, but definitely at a discounted price sometime in August.
This sounds kinda bad. Days Gone sounded bad too, but people liked it so maybe it doesn't mean anything.
Doubtful. The game is style over substance and the reviews are reflecting that.
Wow Gamespot being really harsh lately. Days Gone and now Rage 2 getting a low score, while others are scoring higher.
Gamekult (french) gave it 5/10. They usually aren't afraid to give out low review scores.

I just want a huge open world where I can do lots of side missions with fun combat, like Mad Max.
Although id were only consultants on this game, I hope some of the criticisms for Rage 2 will translate to Doom Eternal. In other words, don't make a game that hinges on great combat in closed environments go open world for the sake of trying to "be bigger."
Does the PC version have better graphics? Hearing about muddy textures on console has me worried. And widescreen and 4K support don't mean anything to me. I want better textures and effects if possible
Our review isn't done yet, but we've got a bunch of SHQ 4K videos from the PC version up :)

Mad Max was very enjoyable despite its low critic scores, so I fully expect DG and Rage 2 to be fun games that just don't resonate with people who play games for a living (and are therefore tired of open worlds, I guess?).
Hopefully you folks also would upload console footage in the future. Also, the new UI design is très bien.
You're not taking them seriously because they thought a game was middling/average? Should they have inflated the score despite the reviewer not thinking the game deserved it?
It's not stupid people, it's reviewers….
You want to tell me a 5/10 is an average score for a game?
Interesting that the criticisms against the story is weighted so heavily in the overall evaluation of this game when all the major FPS games I can think of suffer from the exact same flaws with regard to narrative. I wonder what it is about Rage 2 that makes it somehow worse in this regard.
I was always going to wait for a sale for this one but i'm glad the shooting is great.
It seems it's a good game, not a great one maybe. Still, looks really fun. I'll Definetely pick this one eventually.

Probably the humour that doesn't land. That sort of thing is the fastest way to annoy someone.
I was curious about the game but the outlet I follow the most gave it a really average review, slightly below that even I'd say, so it'll be "wait for a big sale" for me.
They did like the shooting tbf but everything else seems to fall short.

We weren't able to get a full review done in time, but one of our producers made a video about his experience with the first ten hours of the game.
Gamereactor Denmark are giving it a 9.

Sounds like how you feel about it will probably depend on how into the shooting and abilities you get. Since that is apparently the part of the game that shines the most. I'm looking forward to playing it, since it is being described as being similar to the Mad Max game avalanche made, and I really enjoyed that game.

Yeah. Mad Max is one of my favourite games of the generation.
Any of these reviewers review that too?
