Imagine Borderlands with the fun stripped out, or Fallout without actual choice, characters, or consequences. None of the game's ideas are thought out or fully explored, so the game feels like a series of dead ends in a world that is hard to care about, in which you play a bland character doing boring things against stock enemies using weak guns. I only finished RAGE because I was paid to do so, and the process was a struggle; the game never presented me with a hook to continue playing."

just from what i've seen from trailers and such, it does a lot of stuff better than fallout, mainly, looks.

also i dont think there is a lot of difference between this and borderlands, which also has a lot of problems ars says rage has:
-terrible quests
-uninteresting characters
-linearity

there's this thing that when you die you don't actually die but you have to complete some minigame to continue, like in borderlands

> RAGE is creatively and mechanically bankrupt, but it sure is pretty
