Anyone know where I can get the cheapest copy of RAGE?
I know Steam UK is like around 46 USD after conversion..
All copies should be Steamworks right?

There was one site I saw...selling at 25$ USD. But I read forum topics on it and many ordered from that site. Not sure if trustworthy, but the release date is that of UK, which is 7th Oct.

(Side note, its selling Battlefield 3 for $21)

This is the site,
http://www.cdkeysgames.com/BUY-RAGE-CDKEY

Anyone has any experience with this dealer?

I forgot to inform. I'm not in Malaysia.
So am hoping to grab a digital copy cheap. Lesser than 59$ at least.

I just ordered my RAGE CD-key...the jack sparrow edition taking forever to download even on my Canadian broadband.

Its not exactly a legal CD key, but it was cheap. And I doubt Steam would do something like taking away games from Steam lists, that's just a myth as I've never found anyone going through that situation before.

Heck, I still play Quake 3. Its still one of the most challenging and competitive shooters around. You can't laugh at it being an old game, but try to land perfect shots to see if you're really a gamer who's used to Shooters.

I've been quite a fan of id Software, I grew up with Wolfenstein 3D...just too bad. Hopefully in time to come a new and better id game will turn up, graphics might be standard but the gameplay better be good.

Crashing your ATV into a wall and watching yourself ragdoll all the way is the best thing ever.

I like doing it at cliffs, where I can watch my body fall alllll the way down, and magically reappear at my bike again later at no cost of health.

Hey, I've read up somewhere you get the Anarchy Edition items when you reach Subway Town or something.

The Sewers thing was apparently a DLC as well, and I have that. So does that means I 'own' an Anarchy Edition as well?

Double barrel maybe the most powerful but too slow  yawn.gif cos have to reload each time after taking shooting..

That was the same as the Double barrel in Doom 3. xD
But its still all good fun. I loved it!
Which is why I want one in Rage. I didn't pre-order...but I had the Sewers DLC...Need to know if mine is Anarchy Edition or not! D:

I found the acting of the characters and the voices to be really good in the game. Compare it to Fallout, it puts their characters to shame since in Fallout the robots are more 'lively' compared to the humans. xD

I got mine at $30 so I'm not complaining! I just want my Anarchy DLC. Don't know when they gonna release that. I want to play with a Double Barrel shotty.

Played for nearly 2 hours (gaming time for me is tremendous on a workday!) and I got to say,

it is absolutely a brilliant game.  biggrin.gif  A daring, bold game. It does not feel like it wants to be like most shooters out there. It just wants to be unique on its own.

The missions lack variety, the character animations are like puppets, the enemies are old tech and the story super thin. A bad thing? Not one bit! The missions are supposed to lack variety, the character animations are supposed to be unique in this way, the enemies are supposed to react and behave this way while the story is what it needs to be - present to move the game forward. Everything  ID had wanted to make is in the game.

I honestly why most gamers (80% on Meta for PC, and 3.9/10 from user ratings!) dislike this game - - they are comparing it to games they want it to be like. We all had expecations, but judge this game for what it is and not what it isn't.

I don't mind the visuals being bland up-close. You hardly notice when the actions kicks in. I love how ID seem to put fun in front of everything else (for John Carmack obviously is his geeky tech).

I went back to reading old review of "Doom 3" and guess what? The cons of the game are exactly the same with "Rage" - the linearity, the enemy spawn points and the lack of so-called proper story. This game is brilliant. I am going to take my own time and play it.

Nice to hear a rather positive comment.
The story is kinda bland, true, but its supposed to be enjoyable go in and kill everything shooting coz that's how id games are~
I'm just bugged by the textures as of now..gonna wait for that patch. The characters are really lively and the voice acting is pretty top notch tho!

Currently, $40.19 USD.

Still expensive. :\

Stupid card collecting! I don't feel like going thru the entire game again just to collect them all. sad.gif
Should have wiki'ed their locations before I finished it.

Also wtf at the ending. What kind of ending was that?? Even the earlier boss fight with the Giant mutie was more of a challenge.

The game's ending was too rushed..in the end its like.. 'So what happened to the Settlers? So what happened to the bandits? So what happened to the Authority? Who the heck was commanding the Authority??'

Hi guys! Pre-ordered the game but downloaded it now.
I'm wondering, will steam download the mega texture for the game? Because I don't feel right when the game is ULTRA smooth. blink.gif

There's no high-res texture pack yet if you're wondering. iD was supposed to release that.

The Texture Detail option is okay la, things are sharper now but not perfect. Some objects still have very low pixelated resolutions and texture popping is still there.

But from the looks of it, its as if they applied Photoshop Sharpen filter to everything or something like that..everything has a slight noise on it.
