Fallout 4 vs Rage 2
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is the latest installment of the highly-acclaimed game franchise, Fallout. This time around, the developers went above and beyond, and completely revamped the rather outdated V.A.T.S. and turn it into a slow-motion-based aiming system rather than outright pausing the game mid-combat. The game has a massive graphics and sound overhaul as well. The visuals are a lot better than before and the devs added in something that was previously unprecedented - voice acting for the main character. The companions play their roles a bit better as well but they still tend to glitch out, or in some cases, disappear altogether. Thankfully, for PC gamers, you can use the command console to bring them back.In addition to its usual (and still epic) open world plus complete freedom features, this game also has a main storyline that forces you to pick a side in a war between factions, the Institute, the Brotherhood and the Railroad (the Minutemen are somewhat neutral in this game). However, the cream of the crop of this game is its sandbox aspect. In this game, even the junk items have their uses as you can use them to craft or modify your weapons, but also to build bases for settlers to inhabit and also a few extra places for you to stash some supplies in addition to your home in Diamond City.
Fallout 4 may have been ranked down on Steam due to Bethesda's decision to make paid mods, but the game itself is still a pretty good sequel for its combat system alone even if you don't like the storyline as much.
Rage 2
Rage 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to what seems to be an underrated, post-apocalyptic-themed action-shooter game. The original Rage was hailed as the ultimate combination of the dystopian world of Fallout, epic vehicular combat, a gameplay that mimics the intensity of Just Cause, and the sort of insanity which can only be characterized as Borderlands-like, and this sequel promises to deliver on all of that and more!Playing as the hero, Walker, you set off across the sun-scorched wastelands in pursuit of the nefarious Authority, but the place is massive and you'll need all the help you can get to navigate the world. This time around, you'll not only be able to drive monstrous battle vehicles; you can even take to the air in gyrocopters. Basically, if you see a vehicle, chances are you'll be able to drive or pilot it - it's that's simple.
The range of enemies (of various factions) that you'll encounter is pretty varied as well, with each featuring its own lineup of crazies, mutants and even monters. The same goes for the arsenal of futuristic weapons that you'll be able to collect and use to dish out a circus of carnage.
Rage is is currently available for pre-oreders on Bethesda's website. If you do order now, you can get an exclusive Cult of the Death God mission, which has a nice bit about the hero of the first Rage game and a chance to receive Raine’s legendary armor, the fan-favorite Settler Pistol and the new Mutant Monster Truck... if you managed to get through the hordes of mutants that is.
