    Looks like a great game! I still have far too many to play though. still on fallout!


    25gb might take you a while but sure just leave it running. ntl ftw though.

    Looks can be deceiving I'm afraid :pac: very mediocre game.

    I thought it was a great game. One of the best looking games I've played to date and the shooting mechanics, enemies and weapons are all excellent. I loved the car combat too, especially multiplayer and the multiplayer co-op is also great fun. I think a lot of people disliked it because they expected it to be an expansive rpg like fallout. It is more linear and lacks the depth of story but it's excellent for what it is imo. For a fiver you can't go wrong.

    Since when was rage mediocre? As long as you weren't expecting another borderlands or fallout you wouldn't be disappointed personally I thought it was a great game, look at the reviews across the board they're mostly good. For 5euro if you haven't played it already it's definitely well worth it.

    If I was to use a single word to sum up Rage it would be 'unfinished'


    Too use more words it would be, graphically gorgeous but ultimately a game that doesnt live up to its massive potential. All shine but very little substance.

    Such a shame too...

    You could do far worse for a fiver though...

    Sorry, don't see how it is unfinished. Presentation is pristine.
    A little short maybe and ends a bit quick but not unfinished.

    IMO it's a high quality shooter with mostly optional racing and some light rpg elements.

    Huh?

    Because, that makes sense to all of us not in 'merica.

    Use an address from Alaska, Montana, Oregon, Delaware or New Hampshire. None of them have a sales tax. I use New Hampshire myself. Alaska has sales taxes in some localities though so it's probably best to avoid an Alaskan address.

    At little short? The game ended all of a sudden. There wasnt even a warning that it was about to be over. It doesn't even have something that resembles completion or a boss. It was most definitely unfinished... sorry if that offends you.

    IMO unfinished means riddled with bugs, not thought out properly, plot that makes no sense etc. What you're talking about just means it was too short or had a dissapointing ending. But hey, no offence intended here either. Just a difference of opinion and way off topic.

    Got this, thanks. Two questions though,
    Do you get the Abyssal Forge DLC twice? (once by itself, once from the season pass)
    Do pre-order weapons break the game? ie would I better waiting till I clear before adding them, in case they make it too easy?

    Just bloody awful! Environment textures are so so bad.

    And the gameplay is very 'start at point A, drive to point B, get thing, drive back to point A'. Really boring, repetitive, uninspiring stuff. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 698 ✭✭✭sin0city


    Played it on the ps3. Looked savage. I agree about the quests but as I've said, they're not why I enjoyed the game. My point is it's worth 5 euro.

    Steam sale has started :( God help us all.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition - €7.70~

    It should be on steam sometime during the sale for around €7.50 but it's DRM free from above, might interest some of ye.
