Hearing that Noah is working on a video about Pacific Drive might be the least surprising thing I've ever heard.

Fantastic review as always. I bought Rage 2 out of a bargain bin a little bit ago, but I'm glad I never played it, after seeing your video. I don't have patience for games that require no thought put into them except what happens from moment to moment. On another note, I would love to see you do a retrospective of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. The console edition is somehow a fantastic game, in my humble opinion, with the most nonsensical and ridiculous plot that does absolutely nothing. But fighting as The Balrog, or the Eye of Sauron, or a war-elephant is just so cool and something that I have always really appreciated from the developers. And then the handheld version is a completely different game entirely. There's nothing at all that would make you think the games were linked, EXCEPT in title.

this is fantastic

Dude, you got me into Blue Highways and it was incredible, thank you!

This video is how I found out there was a Rage 2.

I think most people only ask you to play final fantasy ONLY because of final fantasy 15 because its the "roadtrip across the country in your car" one

18:24 it's really cute how all the bandit monsters here prioritized jumping on the tables over charging at John Rage directly, to show off the new engine's fancy animations and nav tech,

Dark Souls 2 was my first and is still my favorite. I definitely think that expectations from playing 1 is a huge aspect of the hate. It absolutely has stuff to criticize as Noah does, but the other games sure as heck do too. It’s definitely the game that requires the most wiki reading, which is not great at all. I found that if you just put 1 out of 2 levels into adaptability until you hit a decent agility break point (105? Whatever it is?) it still feels fun and you’ll be there in the first 10 hours or so. Then you can commence dumping 40 straight levels into strength or dexterity like you do in all the other games.

Always a wild ride down a forgotten highway with you, thanks as always Noah ❤

You should not regret your time with RAGE. Like, you said, the developers didn't want to make a bad series and gave their best. You did it for them and I am sure they will appreciate your video and that you really spent time to think about the game.

Animations are perfect

Lol that quoted interview bit is so revealing of how brainless the fundamental thought behind these games were.

I loved Rage even if it wasnt perfect but even i didn't know there was a sequel 🤣😭 why am i finding this out now?

Dear God, his aim and gameplay is reminiscent of Polygon trying to play Doom 2016. Or your average Kotaku reviewer. Fitting that he did some work for one of those two.

You know what game I will never forget? Bulletstorm.

The hype up for Rage 2 got me fucking going

watching this after playing Starfield, it's wild how that game took a very similar approach of mythologizing the different playstyles in the narrative to basically tell the player what to do in a big and uncaring universe

Keep on keeping on broseph. Definitively one of the best at what you do.

I look forward to your 2024 freak out when Trump wins lmao

i'd like to see what noah says about that re4 remkae

Playing shooters for story should have capped out in Spec Ops: The Line. Sometimes you want a slick game instead of a manifesto.

As a person who falls asleep to your voice, I always fully watch each video once. I have a sleep disorder and it's terrible when I can't sleep. Your videos helping me sleep are a blessing.

is 2games really afranchise/

I'd kill to hear your opinion of Cruelty Squad.

You’re the best.

Rage 1 is the best game that I ever played. And I play pc games since "Prince of Persia" with it's wonderful music.

I've got two gripes about the Bethesda games, and one question about Fallout 4. Gripe: Bethesda really has no idea how long 200, or even 100 years is. Gripe: On the other hand, Bethesda doesn't understand the meaning of the franchise 'War Never Changes' tag line and I really wish they'd stop using it at literally every possible opportunity because it puts me up the goddamn wall. Question: If the whole point of synths is as labor... why make them feel anything? Why make them people? Or make them mimic people depending on how you feel about it. Why give them thoughts and emotions to start with? What in the world is the point? Was building their own labor force not evil enough? Or to quote another youtuber. "Why did you make the toaster feel fear, Shaun?" That's before we get to the weirdness of the Institute's whole invasion of the body snatchers routine in general when they're more isolationist than the West Coast BOS.

Love this video. Love your insanely well-researched and made-with-love retrospectives. Sidenote - I have to ask, did you ADR this entire video? It sounds like a VO done mouth-to-mic, but the mic looks so far away that I'm blown away there is no room tone.

I just want you to know, I love all your work. But especially, I love how even for these questions, where you're doing the one take and don't have a whole script written, I can hear the voice you use in your videos. The pattern of talking, the thoughtfulness, it's all still there, and I think that's really cool. Thanks for making things your way. It's something I just don't find on the internet that often, and it makes me happy to support you.

I hope Noah talks about Pacific Drive at some point, partly because I can't run it and wanna experience it vicariously, but mostly because it's apparently a lot about connection to an object, in this case a car.

Huge Magdalena Bay fan here too! My oldest daughter (8) is crazy about Mercurial World too.

2:05:25 guy on the right likes the car 😎

Woot for Tyranny

You are an intelligent human being worth listening to. I wish I had the spare money to pay you. You make my life better with every video. A hypothetical friend, I promise to continue to watch

Finally, my dad buying me a copy of Rage for Xbox 360 for Christmas because he saw Jesse Pinkman playing it in Breaking Bad has paid off

"Hi, I'm Noah Gervais, and I'm built like Popeye."

I’m a defender of both RAGE and RAGE 2 Though, I much prefer RAGE 1. I still play it on my series x via backwards compatibility and it still looks and runs great

I kind of really enjoyed RAGE when it first came out - the gunplay was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the atmosphere.... uh other than that I do not remember anything about it

Rage is so fascinating to me because it just lacks any personality anywhere. It's the basic white bread of post-apocalyptic games, where they’ve managed to break down the concept of the "video game" and remove all nutritional value from it, replacing it with cellulose that's supposed to trick you into thinking theres more to it.

I'd play Rage without the open world, vehicles, mini-games, side quests... basically I'd leave it a corridor shooter, for that part looks stellar. The weapon feedback is sweet, enemy animations are natural, and the gore is good. A solid id shooter being buried under a mountain of scrap is such an upsetting sight for me to this day. Less is more, but they had to show off that megatexture and the damn physics. Who knew that tech-first strategy had its shortcomings? Thank god id learned from it.

Man, I love Kirkland Signature Sand Worms. It's too bad they only sell them in packs of 20.

noah you fkn rock and i wish the economy wasnt currently crushing me so i could afford to throw extra money at you

oh, so its a videogame about gooning

It's so weird... Like certain parts of the game I remember Vividly and fondly. Others I totally forgot about. The Host of the Mutant Smash TV gameshow, John Goodman, Wellsprings, some of the weapons, the dice roll games, some of the female characters. They REALLY tried to make them all super sexy as eye candy for the player. Other things... I just forget. Generally fighting mutants was really a poor time. Some of the worst gameplay. Vehicle combat and racing was tedious as hell too.

one of my favorite aspects about the Bridge UV bulbs is that you can get them during the day but you can't tell which ones are active. and if you pick the wrong one you get electrocuted. this would be a great deterrent if not for the fact that medkits are pretty easy to craft so you can basically revert that damage dealt.

"How is it that a game with such a bland, confused personality have such strong art direction?" I find a surprising number of games suffer from that phenomenon. ARK Survival Evolved, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Suicide Squad (not the gameplay holy shit the visual clutter), basically any open world focused on realistic graphics manages to look stunning while being skin-deep like that.

Bro. One request. Please Consider playing Yakuza 0. Not even gonna ask for the whole series. If you like it, pls consider a video on it. It would be a Dream Come True!!!!!!!!! Cheers!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Take that fuckers. Love your work Noah!
