Why is this game forgotten? what went wrong?

Ending & No Secuel yet.
Game was awesome, fan-fucking-tastic animations in all enemies, good gunplay and soso car rides.

never tried the dlc, is it worth it?

It's a shame the game is "the black sheep" of id software, preorder it back then, was not disappointed.

>what went wrong
It was mediocre. The open-world gameplay was piffle, and the linear sections, while better, were still unspectacular. Guns were super generic and enemies had no variety. The combat flow in general was really basic fare, the nifty enemy animations are not enough to save the whole thing.

Rage presented itself as a mix of Fallout, Borderlands, and Motorstorm but only resulted in a lesser sum of its parts.

>>381469536
That fucking ending. Complete bullshit

>>381472107

yep this

no RPG elements at all (so no fallout)

guns were lame (so no borderlands)

driving was linear and lame (so no motorstorm)

FUEL was better because it at least focused on one thing (racing) and committed to it. I mention it because I often get it confused with rage.

>>381469536
because it's a completely boring and forgettable game

>>381469787
Yeah animation and general combat was A-star, biggest problem with the game was the plot and how completely non-existent the 'characters' were.

The Scorcher DLC was pretty good, had some great looking environments and then the hot chick lounges around the apartment you get for the rest of the game.

Sewers 'bonus' sounded bad but it basically adds about 7 or so little dungeons scattered throughout the game which makes it feel a bit more worth it.

I really liked it, but it felt like shit-ton of content was cut from the game.

>>381469536
It had no ending. Absolutely nothing is resolved at all. Other than that its a fun fps that had neat atmosphere. Shame it never got an expansion or sequel though. More games need to be borderlands lite with better writing.

Yeah I really got this vibe in the second area, it was empty as fuck and was about half of the size of the first one. the ending was definitely rushed to fuck.

When there is a sequel:
>Muh sequel! Muh they just want our money!

When there is no sequel:
>Muh seque! Muh I can't play this game, there is no sequel!

Wasn't this game zenijew's evil plan how to take over id?

>>381470946
basically this, the game just had half assed design from top to bottom

it was broken (and still is) on PC

>>381472513
>fallout
>rpg elements

>borderlands
>good guns

>>381469536
Game was mediocre.

Kind of game you pay $€10 for. Short, iffy story and a fucking cliffhanger ending.

Expected better from ID. Gues they are dead too.

i remember the mp was shit

Why is 95% of AAA trash forgotten?
Generic, formulaic and boring gameplay = nothing memorable to remember.

Because that's what they need to be to sell these days

I love Rage, the gun play, soundscape and especially the art direction, and don't get me started on those women.

I forgot the name of the artist who did a lot of the character and mutant concept arts but they mostly remained unchanged in the final game. But his style really gets my rocks off.
