[RAGE 2] appears to be a definite shift in tone from the original

Got a few powers unlocked now and maxed out some of them. It's great fun. Characters are well written too.
whats the multiplayer like, is there co-op like in borderlands or pvp?

game's single-player only
Reviewers were complaining the open world's a bit empty, so probably.
Vehicles.
Super powers.
Weapons.
There are even general upgrades that you get via 'projects' (basically completing stuff for npcs) that upgrade you in various ways.
It's heavenly for people like me.
Next time I sit down to play it, I'm gonna bust out the MMO mouse and bind everything to instant cast on thumb buttons. :P
Haven't used the BFG yet.
FFXIV - Milliardo Beoulve/Sargatanas

Hold Ctrl - wallhack/open big doors
Ctrl + WASD - dodge
Ctrl + C/V/F - powers
The only one not on a Ctrl key is your quad damage power and I found myself forgetting I had it because it wasn’t on the Ctrl list.
Not wanting to do my own research, why are people so mad at Denuvo? I know it’s a fo of DRM but other than that.
It is a particularly invasive form of DRM. Potentially harmful to your system.
It also requires communication with a server to verify that the game is legit. If the Devs/Publishers no longer wish to pay for it you can't play that game ever again. This has happened several times already. Sometimes those games end up on GoG sans DRM, but if you bought any other copy you're SOL.
Unless you pirated the game then it is your's forever and ever.
It is one of few DRM in which the pirated version is straight up better. Which, y'know, legitimately upsets paying customers and is a situation that should not exist.
edit- It also causes slowdown in the game and many Devs have actually been moving away from it or patching it out. So when people still use Denuvo it is like, I dunno, like someone still using fucking asbestos in their home. Like sure it works, but it is cancerous. Ars Technica has an article about its performance issues.
"In the years since Denuvo's emergence as a popular DRM option for PC game publishers, news of a game receiving a "no Denuvo" update has become so common that Ars rarely reports individual cases anymore. "
Similarly, that apparently only became known 24 hours prior to release.

I have a login but I haven’t linked the accounts and don’t even have the Bethesda launcher installed anymore. I still got all my DLC as soon as I got out of the tutorial area.
With Denuvo, how is it potentially harmful to my system? I’ve got over a dozen Ubisoft games that use it and haven’t noticed anything untoward.
I immediately changed that to the middle mouse button. It's so much better that way.
Also has a photo mode and here is motorcycle when it handles best, standing still.
I'm also continually impressed by how well optimized it is. I never thought my PC would run this at Ultra at 1440p, but it does, at an almost rock solid 60, and my laptops temps are well below other recent games.
I have a feeling that id software lent a hand in the video optimization of the Apex engine as well as the shooting mechanics. Both of which can only be beneficial to Avalanche moving foward.
Also absolutely take the earlier advice and bind Overdrive instant cast to the mouse wheel. Made firefights so much more fluid.
Grenades have been 3 keys so far, swapping various ones for melee. G tends to works great for grenades for me, but the wingstick I want to quickly tap and G is awkward for that to me.
Key bindings aside, I'm have a great time with the game, especially as I start to power up my abilities and weapons a bit. It will be nice to focus on some other paths now; I made a beeline for the Dr's projects when I realized it gave a way to detect nearby storage chests, data pads, and ark chests. It can still be tedious to find them with it, but nothing like it was finding the second data pad in the MASSIVE bandit camp I was in on release day.
* Seriously, could they have made extracting ore from the meteors more tedious? =p. That and having to actually interact with ammo to pick it up are two design decisions I am not on-board with.
I'd put two and two together here. If Denuvo requires ongoing pay to keep using, patching it out once the sales rush is over is the best way to save money without turning your customers against you for bricking your product. Its not like most of these companies decided Denuvo was a bad thing, merely a thing with a limited window of usefulness for each title.
Sometimes Denuvo works, but more often than not it does nothing.
Like in the case of Rage 2 which is already cracked.
i had to fuck with the sensitivity controls a lot to get it to feel okay at all
"...only mights and maybes."
have you logged into bethesda net? on pc you must do this before being able to access any dlc
i have the same cm:360 its just... laggy feeling
real nasty
100-130fps with no vsync on a gsync monitor so not sure whats up
Also holy shit the BFG. This thing will one shot most bosses. It’s cool that the deluxe edition incentive is as good as it should be but the game is definitely not balanced around having it as your third gun. Though the ammo is pricey.
I really enjoy the armour system in this. Usually armoured enemies are just tougher. But in this you actually blow bits of armour off to expose areas you can damage. It’s like the system in The Division 2 but way less spongey.
I needed this after hating far cry 5. The shooting is just so fun, and the enemy animations are interesting and give you lots of gameplay opportunities. This feels like the first open world FPS made for me personally.
Also the explosions are SO GOOD
"...only mights and maybes."
That's dynamic resolution scale. Essentially it lowers the rendered resolution, then upscales back to your current resolution, when FPS would dip below a certain threshhold. Normally it's not that noticeable - you can drop to about 85% before you start to get that fuzzy look. On PC it defaults to 60%, which goes way too low - which I guess is where the console versions probably sit. I put mine back to 85% tonight, and I'm now seeing a bit of FPS dip, but I prefer that to the fuzzy look when things get interesting.
