The Journey Vs the Destination: Ever Play a Game Where the Destination Was Not Worth It?

You know, RAGE was actually a pretty good game. There was a lot of foundation built. It was showing you this Mad Max world and the game-play was nice. Then it ... just kind of ended. Like, where you look around and go, "what was that?" Following that, of course, was the classic "but the journey has only begun" hook. So very, very underwhelming, especially when you had Borderlands out, which was similar but much longer and much better.

Dude stop reading my mind! Came here to talk about that very game.

 

And yeah, Rage is actually a quite decent game but the ending feels like they pull the rug out from underneath you when you aren't really expecting it to be over yet.

 

Definitely don't regret playing it, definitely don't have any bad feelings about it, and I'd still be interested in Rage 2.... But yeah.

I would certainly play a Rage 2, with the hope of improvements, but it doesn't look likely.  It was obviously supposed to be a franchise but I guess sales and public reception killed it.  Looks like id is done with new IP.
