Sold.... playing it lol.

[@MoistDevil]

Read this as soon as he said it 😂

[@muzien87]

When people say they want to see open world doom i say "no you don't. Go play rage 2 and then come back and tell me you still want open world doom" Open world or the structured open world of gears 5 and halo infinite imo were a huge set back to the games

[@somewhereelse1235]

@@muzien87 I like Rage 2, but open world wouldn't suit Doom.

I agreed

[@StoneAgeWarfare]

I miss the "vibes" of the first one, but this one still has something interesting to and special to it. Definitely fun.

[@aaronpyrez1573]

Gotta love how Kev auto chooses the highest difficulty, then is surprised when it’s difficult. Man loves for the pain. Lol

[@DescendingVelocity]

This game was great for “turn off your brain” fun lol. Especially late game when your car is completely upgraded and you’re basically driving around a really fast artillery truck. Don’t really get why people hated it so much.

[@ButtMunch-jf1fy]

Because it’s garbage 😂

[@atomic747]

I mean if you actually keep your brain on you can probably see why people don't like it.

[@derunfassbarebielecki]

You named the reason people hated it. Not everyone gets value from sandbox gaming, so the grind and the half baked story will dissatisfy most players. Rage 2 is a game you play for a bit and then uninstall it, thats why there are so many negative reviews, because there is nothing outstandingly positive about it, so those who had fun wrote no reviews.

[@Dracongard]

I mean compared to the first game this was a huge letdown. It was the beginning of the fps meme where colors and UI cover your screen with so much text and explosions you dont know whats what anymore. First game was subtle and pretty much mad max the fps not rage 2 mad max fell into hell with a bag full of cocaine.

[@StuckTrippin]

That's exactly why I hated it. Why the fuck am I playing if I can just aimlessly and brainlessly play it. Nevermind its nothing lkke the first one, which I actually liked.

[@ItsVikinglad]

Having Kev as my Fallout 4 companion for over a year now makes me think that in those spare moments between me dragging him around to kill Swan, and other random people, he finds time to record.

[@jeremyrm7]

If you played this then played Doom Eternal on release you could almost feel how this game was a test for some of those mechanics lmao

[@DeadPixel1105]

Yeah, I thought the same when Doom Eternal released. To be honest, I actually think the combat in Rage 2 is just a tiny bit more fun than Doom Eternal. You have more abilities/powers at your disposal than in Doom Eternal.

[@craigkingdon4424]

​@@DeadPixel1105 true. Only one game lets you punch grenades back

[@redheadboyyy123]

Rage 2 is what Far Cry New Dawn wanted to be

[@Idkk69945]

Nah not really and far cry new dawn was atleast fun to play and not like rage 2 it was the most boring game i've ever played

Bulletstorm and rage were some of my most replayed games over the years on the 360 and memories and nostalgia that will stay with me til I die

[@SPECTRA_87]

The cheats in this game were awesome, especially having the nba jam announcer on my side.

[@net343]

The dlc gives you jedi powers btw, and a sick melee feltrite sword

[@GHow1998]

Fun fact. The woman who voices the main car is Lynda Carter (the original Wonder Woman, and also did voice acting in 7 other Bethesda games [Morrowind, Bloodmoon, Oblivion, Skyrim, Online, Fallout 4, Online Morrowind])

Fun fact Kev avalanche software who worked on this also worked on both the Just Cause series and an actual Mad Max game from 2015.

I remember the preorder bonus for this was one of those triple boomerangs

[@thecosmicentity5597]

The problem with rage 2 is the open world is entirely unnecessary. We should have just gotten a campaign with levels. The combat sections I feel are too short. Also, the Authority is just the Stroge in this game.

[@bakatemplargaming2430]

Also rage 2 does not follow rage 1 as rage 1 was full of zombie mutants as your primary enemies

[@lutherheggs451]

The problem with Rage 2 is its not particularly great. The open world is the least of its problems, the gunplay is the best thing about it. Everything else is pretty generic, the "story" is about as bad as the first game, its a joke how short it is and, there is really no reason it couldn't have been coop.

[@thecosmicentity5597]

​@lutherheggs451 Yeah, the story is a joke. The game should have been about this war with the Authority instead of it being a background detail. It's combat is great, the powers and guns are awesome.

[@thecosmicentity5597]

​@@bakatemplargaming2430Should have been the Authority

[@frankiepeele9220]

This was a weird game to me. In my opinion the first one was a really underrated classic and this just wasn’t what I was expecting from a sequel

[@augustusguap228]

yeah it's pretty much a completely different franchise compared to the first one. Just happens to have the same name haha

[@kiillabytez]

The first one was too annoying. The made a better sequel IMHO.

[@Kinetically616TTV]

@@kiillabytezwym annoying? I’ve been trying to 100 percent it on steam and I’m abt halfway through needing a break though. I wouldn’t say annoying, def repetitive but honestly does better than some games even today. Whether it be different enemies or having multiple ways to kill I feel like it holds up decently well. Can’t vouch for 2 as I have not played it but nothing in 1 ever felt annoying to me

[@kiillabytez]

@@Kinetically616TTV Randomly, how about the awkward driving mechanic. Haven't been that annoyed since driving a Warthog for the first time.

[@Kinetically616TTV]

@@kiillabytez well considering what time period it came out in, compared to other at that time. It’s not bad. One of the trophies was for the racing tracks and such and I felt they were a breeze. Ofc I don’t play many games w driving in it, if it’s not the main focus of the game. But I didn’t quite consider it annoying mechanic wise, now how much driving you HAVE to do can almost compete w gta5🤣 that is abysmal. There prob are a few rage moments that are coming back to me while typing, abt the driving and racing, but not serious enough for me to recall this moment, nothing a bit of getting used to didn’t help solve
