RAGE: That's actually what you do when trying to get the PC version to work

Can you easily switch between controller and mouse/keyboard between fps and driving sections?

Yes, you can, but if controller is enabled the game will give button prompts for the controller.

BTW, the game asks me sneak behind enemies by crouching, is there any kind of one hit melee attack I can perform if I get close? or is it all pointless talk by the game and u r anyways going to shoot them?

Shooting is good in the game, mainly because of enemy behaviour and movement , but I really think ID made the game with peeking controls and later removed them due to consoles. The way the enemies play, you need peeking to contain damage to urself and hit at them. Maybe its just me, but it feels like they removed it at a later stage.

and the NPC animations are so cartoonish, while the world they render is so realistic. Great art direction for environments, but they don't gel.
 
Turns out my whole problem was with the controls. I plugged in my x360 controller and the now the game feels great. All controls are mapped to quick buttons and shooting, driving everything feels cohesive and fun !
In fact , time flew and before I knew it was well past midnight !
Clealry shows that the whole game was designed for consoles. The controls feel so nTural on the controller, except for jumping, which is mapped to 'y' when all others games have it on 'A'


And the game is so pretty ! Wellspring looks like a Miyazaki town ! The world is very very well made !!

I found shooting to be horrible with the controller. The shooting is very doom / serious sam like which lends itself far better to a mouse imo. I found the sweet spot with the games controls was to swap between pad and mouse/keyboard for driving/shooting. As you say its straight forward to do.
 
I've played on KB+M but racing is definitely better on pad.
Rage is a game of big contrasts. One minute it's action packed and another you have to run from place to place with no action at all. One location looks stunning and breathtaking and another is at best return to 2004 era.
Still I've enjoyed Rage very much and did all side-quests and races in the game. I was expecting poor end before starting and to be honest it didn't bother me that much. Oh and shooting was really well done for me as it has only 2FPS of input lag in this game. So much better than any on-line experience and most 'modern' shooters.

It seems that ID could build up on Rage and create something all around stunning if not for this thing called 'time' (and probably money).

I would also prefer a mouse for the hectic 60 fps shooting, but I find the KB mapping weird and unintuitive in this game. Especially stuff that is called "quick select" is actually making me do finger yoga ! While on the controller, the buttons feel all well mapped and intuitive. A first for me too.

BTW, can I increase the POV in some way? Also, the game has almost no tweakable gfx options !
 
Increased the POV, that opened up the game for me even more ! It is an ID shooter :D ! After the initial bad impression, I am having fun now ! Will like to replay on higher difficulty !
 
Supremely impressed with ID's engine. Incredible gfx running at 60 fps on my 4850 ! ID nailed the tech ! I had never thought something so good looking can run on my PC @1920X1080 and that too 60 FPS ! Fantastic !
And the game keeps getting more fun as we get new toys and new enemies ! Spider bot is my friend ! I keep a lot of them with me :p !
 
I think he means FOV, but as homerdog said maybe there's some porn fetish in Rage...

I downloaded The Scorchers DLC for RAGE and found an odd issue. For the peeps who have SLI rigs you may run into a problem with SLI and GPU Transcoding being disabled in RAGE.

The wordaround is to go into the NV Control panel choose the RAGE profile and for CUDA GPU assignment settings assign to a single GPU (I selected GPU 2 - so GPU 1 can focus just on rendering only).

So how was it? I hate DLC in general, but I was curious if anyone here had got and played the scorchers bit.

what CPU you are using?

I think there is something wrong with the CPU usage of this game with AMD cards compared to NV.

I had Rage maxing out my Overclocked 3770K until I found this console command (posted a couple of pages back):

"+jobs_numThreads 0 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +m_smooth 0 +m_rawInput 1 +vt_maxPPF 16"

I've since rebuilt my OS (Win 8 Pro) and the game is working great without the above string.
