Poll So whats better in the end? Rage 1 or Rage 2? (15 votes)

Rage 1 60%
Rage 2 40%

Hello friends,

So Rage 2 finally released and it recieve average to mix reviews all over the critics. even more so than Rage 1 which many consider disappointment due to insane amount of hype. while Rage 2 had 0 hype prior to released.

I think Rage 1 is still a better game. despite being worst id software game by far. and id bascially outsourced Rage 2 to avalanche studio who now created one of the worst open world game ever made where only good thing is combat which done by id software.

Rage 1 also has better combat and AI and also better level design. Rage 1 had dark and serious tone of id software and not some pink wacky wacky tone. even had better driving. In Rage 2 driving is awful and so is car combat.

its like Avalanche put 0 Effort in Rage 2 while 10% of effort done by id software result in excellent gunplay only.

so friends, which game is better in the end? lets discuss

I finished it today. Rage had way more charm. Although 2 plays much better and is actually more fun. But it's also completely forgettable.

I haven't played Rage 2.

But I think Rage 1 is good. It was short but sweet. Had a few other shortcomings, felt pretty underdeveloped. Gunplay was great. A solid 7/10.

Rage 2 seems to also be pretty fun, but also pretty empty and uninspired open world with a repetitive open world formula. Sounds like a solid 7/10. Would play Rage 2 over a Far Cry from Ubisoft any day. I plan to get it when it's much cheaper.

The original Rage is a fantastic game, only let down by an awful PC version and some of the worst texture streaming I've ever seen in a game.

Still, when you forget its issues and the game is at its best it's just a blast to play through.

I have not played Rage 2 and I don't think I will any time soon. I'm just not down for another open-world slog.

Far cry has better open world than Rage 2 actually.

Rage 1 is better because real alpha males don't like pink sunsets.

Rage 2 for me even though I haven't finish it yet I can easily say I enjoy it much more then the first game the combat is a huge improvement and the open world is better.

As far as generic open world games go, I'd put it this way:

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Far Cry 4

Rage 2

Rage 1

Far Cry 5

Far Cry 2

Far Cry: Primal

Far Cry: New Dawn
