it is crazy in a "hey kids, this is crazy, right?" way...the marketing for this game made it look like a wasteland full of chaos, instead of that, the whole thing happens only in set spots and the world is boring af. if this game is "crazy" i am Santa Clause lol...the game is generic as it gets.
besides that, thinking about it, even in 2019 gamers are really easily pleased, "i am shooting shit so i am having fun!"-which is not a good measure for a game but a reason 90% of all games still involve shooting. it is the same as "it is fun with friends", also not a good measure for a game.
who cares about a shitty narrative, cardboard cutout NPCs, jumbled progression, non existent challenge, copy and paste content and plainly bad graphics right?
also, what i am seeing more and more: people are trying to justify their purchases, it is obvious with many releases. thing is, with enough gaming experience and decades of playing these people will be over this behaviour and see the games how they really are, regardless of the price they paid. reason why some people like Jeff Gerstmann come off as bored or annoyed at games sometimes, they directly see the strings where everything is attached.
and in the case of Rage 2, it shows a generic open world copy and paste-a-thon trying to come off as crazy when in its core it is conservative and as heck.
