The original was not well received so try again? https://bethesda.net/en/games/RA2CS1PCBG01BASE
I liked Rage.
It was 250% better than Duke Nukem Forever.
Not sure what people's issue was with dn forever. Loved the originals and had fun with forever.
I got it in 2013 on a sale. It ran without any technical issues. Graphics weren't too impressive though.I recall the original Rage as being a graphical and bug ridden mess that took me months to get even working/playable on my computer. Thanks to user guides and .ini tweaking (a.k.a. not official support) I got it playable horrible textures and all.
Oh that's not the point, though. I had fun with DNF as well! But it was an objectively crap game after decades of hype.
I would compared DNF to the 80's "B" action flicks. They are awesome if you're in the right mood. But you can't think about them too much.
Could not agree more, i remember a lot of "omg a insensitive crude humor game with beer, fart and genital jokes game! 0/10!" reactions. Well yeah, it's Duke Nukem, what did you expect.
Also nothing could have lived up to the hype of that 10 years of development.
Here's 2 games with crude humor, genital jokes etc - Duke Nukem Forever and Shadow Warrior 2. Guess which one was garbageIt's not about humor, DNF was just a horrible game. Soaked in blandness to the last bone. And it saddens me to say that, because I love Duke Nukem.
Duke is dead, long live Lo(lol, even his last name doesn't pass profanity filter. Duke has nothing on this guy)
I actually really enjoyed first RAGE and had almost no technical issues with it. The only disappointing part was the ending with no major boss fight (but I guess thats the new trend now as both new Wolfenstein games lack any type of satisfying boss fight at the end [down][down][down]).
The fact that I don't even remember how it ended probably means it wasn't partcularly note-worthy.
But yeah, I don't remember any bugs or problems with the game either (provided I did play it about a year after the original release). And I had lots of fun playing it.
Rage 1 was great and one of the technically most impressive games...... Also bug free. This was on the xbox360 no idea on pc. Megatextures were amazing on it imo
