Hmmmpff just had my first annoyance with save system, I was cleaning up Shrouded Bunker and was so immersed that I completely forgot to save…and the last room full of enemies I die, and last checkpoint is 30-40 minutes back.
Dammit.
Yeah, I’m so used to not being able to save anywhere these days that I end up forgetting.

The game is pretty stable for me at this point and I’m deep into the Dead City. Whats the weakness of these armored mutants? Assault rifle ammo seems not to do much damage and while the shotgun does, it takes about a full load to take one of them out. Anything particularly good against them?
What armored mutants? The one who fires at the sky and then it explodes in two places in the ground? Or the “kraken”, the one with the tentacle?
In both cases, they are damage sponges, just throw whatever you have in your arsenal, usually with preference of explosives (rocket pops, rockets, grenades, dynamite arrows). The trick fighting with them is how to deal with the big monster (in the first case avoiding his shots, in the second case avoiding his charge and tentacle) while the weak mutants are attacking you.
I lost two times 20 minutes, in different places. It’s ok for me, it won’t happen me again for a second time in that area as that time i will remember quicksaving, and there is always the possibility of playing the combat in a different way.
It happened even more times playing Stalker

Neither of those, I’m talking about the slime mutants that throw slime at you and melee attack you as well.

What’s wrong with you? You shoot the glowing parts! Like the head or in particular the back! Jeez play more videogames already :)
Best most interesting rocks in a game ever
What do I do with these pieces of meteor I’ve found? The one dude in Hagartown said to save them but will they have some use or should I just sell them for money?
I’m about 3 hours in on the 360 version. So far it’s fun enough, but the 1990’s design decisions are frustrating and disappointing. The shooty is good, but a lot of modern games have good shooty. Also its easily the best looking 360 game ever and smooth as butta. But I find myself agreeing with Tom that there’s a lot of missed opportunity here.

I’m wondering that too! I’m hoarding them at the moment since he said not to just give them away as they are super valuable … for what? Are they ammo for some future weapon or something?
Meh 7 hours in and I haven’t seen any use for them, so I have been selling them.

Yea! I don’t think I’ll be playing this game, but I have this screenshot as my wallpaper (from the superlative Dead End Thrills). Lovely rocks and sky.
And finished!
16 hours, 30 minutes, looking at the time stats. But you have to add up at least one more hour, between retries of races, reloads when they killed me, the time stat doesn’t count up in menus, etc.
It was a good game, with some features which make it close to a great game… but in the other hand lots of stuff lowers the mark again, making the game not worth all the hype:
The underwhelming end, the bad plot and dialogue, the poor setup between the Authority and the Resistance, the not very well balanced economy (i prefer games where i am not swimming in abundance), the vehicle action got a bit repetitive, the duration is a bit on the short side (taking in account is not a linear fps and there is a bit of back and forth between missions, and the game makes you play again almost every dungeon a second time in side missions) and the incredible easy difficulty (even playing in a extra hard custom nightmare mode!) with health regeneration, bandages, multiple defibrillator charges, and abundance of extra items in general which all combined makes the excellent combat not as enjoyable as it should.
Thats one of my issues, why do we have bandages, if we have regenerating health?
I have yet to use a single bandage.

What, really? I just shot a bunch of shotgun shells at them till they died.

Edit: damnit, too late!
Lh’owon , posted that link a few posts up… :p
But indeed very sexy graphics.
Question , is there a say to keep the dead bodies from melting into the ground?
Well, I’m finally playing, smooth as silk, courtesy of latest Radeon 11.10 preview driver and this launch option for dual core systems:

Anyone else still having problems should read the entire Rage patch notes to see if their issue is mentioned.

Thoughts on RAGE now:
Hmmm, I’m going to stock up on big mama rounds and head shot most enemies. Oh well, it does make the pistol one of the most powerful weapons.
I remember using a rocket launcher once.
Hell, I got so much ammo. Hell, I got so much arsenal but all I need is my big mama rounds baby!
This upgraded robots dudes and turrets rock I wish I bet reason to use them then on waves of mutants.
Spawn more mutants RAGE , I don’t think you spawned enough already.
Yay! A super big final weapon I bet I’ll have to shoot something awesome with it…
