Noob. You gotta keep up with these things man. I guess when you're a big balla like yourself you don't have to make educated purchases. You just buy and if it sucks you rant and uninstall.

1. RAGE was designed from the ground up for consoles.
2. RAGE is not an iD game as you would expect.
3. RAGE on the PC was a secondary development.

All of these things have been common knowledge for some time. Even Carmacks realization that consoles suck has been known. RAGE in all essence is a cash cow for Zenimax. Nothing more. Ill be buying this game when it comes down in price. But you gotta be honest here man. ME.....TheMailman and his borderline unhealthy infatuation with Carmack did not pre-order this game. That should have told ya something.......other then I'm broke. Because if I thought this was a true iD game I would have been straight necking crackheads for money to buy it.



Thats never happen in the past.....nor will it happen in the future. What the Wii U will do however is make the PS3 and 360 look like shit if they use the hardware right.


Looks like my preferred method of game buying blew up in my face.
I try to go into a media blackout with games I am interested in. That way I don't see all the damned spoilers and such.
If I had payed attention and saw that this was console first, I would have waited for a steam sale to buy this cheap.

Ah well, I just got back from work, time to try the newer AMD beta drivers and see if it makes the game playable.

PS I'm an old school FPS gamer from back in the day. For me, FPS games don't need a story. At all. As long as the shooting mechanics are good, and the multi-player is fun, that's all that matters.
That was for all the people complaining about a lack of story. Go buy a RPG or MMO if that's what you're looking for.

So I have a half hour left of work. I will give the new hotfix drivers a shot. I wonder if they are going to release a patch in the near future? I sure hope so.

it's happening now with only 3 platforms.. the PC isn't getting any attention. developers are not pushing the hardware, there are hardly any exclusives and it has lost it's place as lead platform.

Bethesda, Ubisoft and Rockstar have signed on with Nintendo to develop third party titles for the Wii U.

if Rockstar launches a Grand Theft Auto sequel on all 4 platforms, how bad will the PC version be? are PC Games going to be delayed a year? not even bother to come out? same day release but broken? longer dev cycles?

UPS finally knocked at my door, been waiting for the game all day... after reading this thread though, sounds like I'm in for some disappointment :(

Well, no point in crying now, will just install and hope for the best...

It's really not that bad. Once the fixes are in play 100% I think it will be an enjoyable game.

Lead platform? Since when? I don't ever remember it being a "lead" platform. Not before or after the 84 crash.
No attention? BF3? Starcraft?
No exclusives? Just about all RTS and a million other indi games?
Also we get all the good games on the PC that you do on the console. GoW? Big deal. Beat it once and you're done. StarCraft will last you YEARS. Face it. We have higher standards then console kids. What we call bugs and say is unacceptable you call DLC. Basicly consoles today are watered down PC's for people who dont know how to install drivers.

Please. The Wii U will just allow some developers to make better looking games then the CURRENT consoles. Not the PC. Its already outdated by PC standards. Like I said the Wii U has the hardware to make the current consoles look like shit. Which is a good thing indeed. Might open a few sheep's eyes.

There's still some hope, Blizzard, Dice, CD Projekt to name a few, still deliver solid PC releases, and Epic with the latest Unreal Engine tech, take the Samaritan demo for example, that kind of hi fidelity graphics can only be achieved on a PC.

I still think developers will see the light when they realize consoles are a dead end; after this blow though, I'm really rooting for Bethesda not to disappoint with Skyrim, one can dream, huh? :)

The newer beta Rage drivers from AMD seem to have tamed some of the issues.
The game runs beautifully @ 60FPS for a while, but slowly drops to 10 still on my system. It's like the cache is being filled up and not purged. Also, It is showing very low GPU usage in MSI afterburner OSD.
Also, at launch of the game in the console, it shows my VRAM as 0, and my CPU as 4hz. Maybe some wonky auto detection is what's killing performance.
But I'm running a bunch of custom tweaked launch settings, so that could be the issue. I guess tonight I will be fucking around with the rageConfig.cfg file and tweaked variables to find what works best.

PS Moving the cache from my 7200.12 Barracuda drive to my caviar black 640 seems to have sped up the texture streaming pop-in.

if youve downloaded from steam,may be worth a game defrag,possibly,do you use game booster ?

Yes, I've defragged and everything. Haven't tried the gamebooster yet, am still tweaking the command line settings and playing with the rageConfig.cfg file.

I'm giving up on this for the night. Spent too much time last night browsing forums and trying settings out.

Whatever I do, the game slowly drops to around 10 FPS. It starts at 60, and a few minutes later it becomes unplayable.

Either I have some undiagnosed problem with my rig, or this game needs a bit more work.
My computer is a frankensteined system that has been cobbled together from several upgrades and system changes, so that could be an issue.

Not a huge deal, I've got other games to play. But having just shelled out $60, this is kinda a slap in the nuts.

Those drivers really didn't do much for me. I am still getting alot of weird shit happening and the game just locked up for no reason. It seems alittle better but not much. Characters are artifacting and going in and out still and the textures are still pretty slow loading. EDIT* I restarted my PC and it seems alittle better. Still not close to 100 percent but the drivers did help alittle.
