I returned my PC copy of RAGE yesterday despite the claims of bug fixes by id Software and AMD/ATI. Day one PC gaming has become a growing concern as of late. Out of the handful of day one PC purchases I’ve made, over 75% of them gave me grief.
It starts with Fallout: New Vegas which was purchased several weeks after the release date, but despite that buffer, I was still experiencing stuttering and crashes.
He keeps talking and talking, but I’d gladly sit down and listen to him go off on technical rants.
If the man himself says the consoles haven’t been tapped out yet, then they haven’t been tapped out yet. I’m looking forward to playing RAGE on the PC which is coming out on October 4th, 2011.
E3 2011 is over.
For me it was a nice E3 filled with pleasant titles and a steady year or so of gaming. Nintendo’s Wii U won’t be out until sometime in 2012 and with what they’ve shown, it’s a bit tough to get excited for it at the moment. Meanwhile, the PlayStation Vita seems to be in its own little world. Much of it was exciting from the mindset of a $250 handheld, but I didn’t see anything that would compel me to pre-order one as of yet.
This E3 was about games and there were plenty of promising titles — many of which I pre-ordered via FutureShop’s awesome promotion:

Just watch this.
What an unorthodox pairing. RAGE and Blake Griffin? A first person shooter and a basketball player? There’s enough craziness here to start a meme which they’re clearly striving for.
But I do wonder who approached who with this advertisement idea. Was it Blake Griffin who was genuinely a video game and id Software fan? Was it Bethesda and id Software who approached Blake Griffin after becoming super popular?
I’m looking forward to seeing this pan out.
