RAGE: The Scorchers

Your comments on our articles.

A not unpleasant burning sensation

The Scorchers is the most audacious punchline ever. It's like id asked you "hey, what's the secret of comedy?" at a Halloween party. Then, fourteen months later, at 2am on Christmas Day, your mobile rings. You panic. Who calls anyone at this time of night, on Christmas? Worried that you're about to suffer a harrowing Eastenders festive bereavement, you accept the call. It's John Carmack. He whispers the word "timing", and hangs up.

Nailgun? I'm sold.

Uh...anyone got a Disc 1 I can borrow?

Yay, DLC that's good value for money. I'm going to buy it, even though I haven't touched RAGE yet. :D

I would get this if I still had the game, without a doubt.

Darth, I'd just buy a second copy of the game if I were you. You'll pick it up on eBay for less than the pint of a pint of cheap import lager these days. It always amazes me how some games have almost no 2nd hand value. Rage is one of them. Other examples are Bioshock 2 and Deus Ex. If you see these on sell on eBay for more than £3 you've been a witness to a freak event. What's the deal with that? Suggestions on a post-card please.

I don't mind that it "took so long" to come out, most games release their DLC too fast, i.e Borderlands 2.

It gives me a chance to put this down, play other games, then come back to this a year later, rather than just not put it down at all and ignore the games I have at the time left unfinished. Sure the game just ended without explanation, but at least the game it self was pretty darn good and it'll be great to play it again.

There actually isn't anything wrong with bringing DLC out a year later, especially when it's so cheap.

This makes me want to give Rage a go, guessing you'd all recommend the game? DLC reactions seem positive.

Yeah, but I only need Disc 1...I own the game, but Disc 1 has gone walkies. (Sigh) I'll hunt around my tiny-ass flat once more, but I'm starting to fear the iD pixies have been at it.

I know what you mean about the second-hand value, though - I bought Borderlands 2 brand-new (one of the only games I've bought brand-new since the 360 came out, oddly enough) and I sold it just a few months later. Got a pittance for it. Aside from the odd game I MUST have on-release (Like BioShock Infinite will be), ALL of my games are pre-owned. Who the Hell can afford new games these days? Clue: Not me :P

RAGE is and was awesome while it lasted. The ending sucked and was clearly rushed but the joourney was awesome.

One of the best examples of First Person Gunplay ive ever played.

Im gonna add RAGE to my lovefilm list and buy the dlc - ID deserve my 400points.

RAGE is an odd one price wise. It was discounted in many stores to £25 within a week of release.

With some DLC, I've preferred to wait until a game is re-released as a GOTY edition or something similar, and then buy the game again with all the DLC packaged in one box. But this is tempting me. Especially with the low price.
