I heard Rage is pretty meh, as well. Just the same shit from Borderlands and Fallout in a different wrapper. Even as a huge Id fanboy, I was skeptical of Rage since they first unveiled the concept and setting; "post-apocalyptic desert shooter".

When they first announced it, wasn't it supposed to be cell shaded? For whatever reason I have this idea that it was, but then they scrapped that because of the similarity to Borderlands. Either way I'd like to try it. I generally really like open ended/shit ton of quests type games...I mean I loved the hell out of Borderlands and am utterly psyched for the next game.

I feel the same about the Gears series as a whole. None of what I’ve seen ever looks interesting to me, and I got bored of the first game after the first level or so.

You know, I actually liked the first. There was an ongoing sense of hopelessness, or just feeling like things were fucked beyond repair. Gloomy. Something, I don't know how to describe it. But Gears 2 was caca. The emo bullshit with Dom just felt awkward and forced, and the introduction of the lambent just reminded me of The Flood in Halo. Fun to face off against, at least until you figure out the boring and methodic formula needed to take them out again and again. And again.
So I dunno. I knew before I rented it that Gears just wasn't really my thing, but I was hoping Cliffy B. would stop sucking his own asshole long enough to make some innovative changes and...I don't know, get it back to the tone of the first. Didn't happen.
