Raging

Is it October 4th yet?

No?

Well there are a number of reasons why I am looking forward to October 4th, the biggest of them being the upcoming game called Rage.

I am really liking that it looks like how Borderlands originally did and the fact that there are really so many options for weapons it seems a little overwhelming to me. Having just watched the new trailer for this game today seems to confirm just how many different ways you can kill a mutant and/or human in a post apocalyptic world.

Going back to the look of the game world, I have to say that it looks amazing from what I've seen so far. With it's looks and everything it is promising, this is almost too good of a game to be true. How can a single game pack in that much content? Can it really be as good as it sounds?

I know I've fallen for these ploys before and the results were always pretty goddamn horrible. Thank you Alpha Protocol, Brink, Final Fantasy XIII for those slaps of reality.

But all of that aside, my only real fear as far as this game goes is that it will end up playing like Fallout. Now I am sure Fallout is as awesome a game as anything out there. It obviously has a ton of fans and it sounds like a boat load of fun if you can get into it. As for me personally? It just was not my cup of tea. And I've tried Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas and just never got sunk into it.

On the flip side though, this game is being made by folks who have a deep rooted history in first person shooter games, so what could there possibly be to worry about? Maybe this will be a smashing hit and this could very well be the best game I've played this year...?


I'll find that out in 4 days.
