message: Stop adding OSX unless there is an ACTUAL release date from an article not over a year old. I will keep removing it until someone provides the source, too many mac "news" sites are using misinformation from this article that there is a mac release when there in fact is not, and given the fact that the head of id thinks mac users just buy Angry Birds, probably never will be.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloodycelt (talk • contribs) 05:57, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Port? 

message: How's BioShock "a break from linear corridors"? BioShock is pretty linear and mostly corridors if you ask me.
Crysis is linear too but at least it's mostly open space not corridors.
I think that BioShock should be dropped from the article. --Dr rus (talk) 22:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think references to both BioShock and Crysis should be removed, as nobody at id ever made any comparison to the two games (and because BioShock is the defacto corridor shooter anyway). I frankly don't like the entire last statement. Phide (talk) 19:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  BioShock? 

message: In the wikipedia article it mentions Rage using a match-making service like on the consoles. However, the source says it doesn't know what it will use, if not using dedicated servers. Should this be changed?
: It sounds like this isnt set in stone. Either way, the source sucks and someone should find the original interview and use that instead of this blog. Venim (talk) 09:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dedicated Servers 

message: The asteroid that strikes Earth is 99942 Apophis.  I know the name was mentioned in one of the trailers....  I don't want to include a link to 99942 until I can cite the particular trailer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.75.216.105 (talk) 03:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot 

message: I removed a reference in the second introduction paragraph; previously read "The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting similar to other popular video games such as Fallout and Borderlands". This information was misleading. I removed the bit saying "and Borderlands" because Borderlands is not a post-apocalyptic video game, it is a science-fiction video game set on a lawless and dangerous frontier planet. The resemblance of the setting and art-direction in Borderlands to that in games like those in the Fallout series does not make Borderlands a post-apocalyptic video game. If someone else feels that Borderlands should be included as a comparative reference (since Rage is post-apocalyptic, even if Borderlands is not), they should modify the description accordingly to see that Borderlands is not described as a post-apocalyptic video game.

replies: text: Apocalypse: An event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale.  The entire planet was stripped bare of all valuable resources, and then went into its summer cycle which brought an alien horde out of hibernation.  Although this is not your traditional apocalyptic plot line, it fits the bill as you are taking part in a story in a world that has suffered significant destruction ecologically (as far as human survivability goes), socially, and economically.  A one time thriving economy, well suited to supporting human existence, has been destroyed and survivors are wholly dependent upon scavenging the remains of the materials that survived the apocalyptic event. The abrupt cessation of corporate support (shutting off your fish tank filter will result in an apocalypse for that environment), and the end of the hibernation cycle are the contributing apocalyptic events - i.e., the sharp and drastic drop in the habitability of the planet for human life.  Then there is the extinction event that happened to the Eridians in the planet's past - also an apocalyptic event.  The releasing of the prisoners to roam at large is also a contributing factor to the drop in average life expectancy post-apocalypse. --Aʀchon • derp  —Preceding undated comment added 23:18, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amended Intro Paragraph 

message: I was just wondering if the following sentence should be removed from the Introduction section:  "Players will be able to upgrade their cars with money won from races", as this information could easily be put into the gameplay section. Please let me know what you think!PSBFAN21 (talk) 20:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: I disagree with the current formulation in the article "Rage (stylized as RⒶGE)". An enclosed A, as used in the article, hardly represents the true anarcho-punk stylized A that is really used in the Rage title.

thread_title:  Stylized title 

message: I realize that information is limited with regards to the plot of the game at this time, but we should at least fix how the gameplay section starts off. "Soon, the player comes to realize that his Ark has malfunctioned and that he is the only survivor. Apparently this environment is perfectly suited to the rough-and-tumble dune buggy racing seen in games"
It goes from discussing the plot, to the racing elements of the environment with no transition.   
If you're going to write it like that, you need to discuss what the environment is like beforehand.  Hyblackeagle22 (talk) 20:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gameplay/ Plot transition 

message: Creation of gaming subgenre began - this could be a birth of a new classic, certainly it's too unique to apply it just to the grounds of Fallout 3 and other open world games, it's definitely not open world as seen in gameplay videos. Xowets (talk) 08:21, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is all opinion/original research and useless in the article. Articles rely on reliable sources, not individual definitions of an RPG, which is one of the most disputed genres due to the many elements that can be considered RPG-like. Remember Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Some guy (talk) 09:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  This game is NOT open world, It's not an RPG 

message: No information is available in the article on the location of where Rage is set in the world.  Some clues are a sign for the Stone Mountain Correctional Facility, which is located in Stone Mountain, Georgia, but it could just be coincidence that the game designers chose that name.  Is there any official word on the specific setting?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.210.50 (talk) 20:40, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location and Setting 

message: The Plot section says that "The Arks are the direct result of the Eden Project, a massive international undertaking in which hundreds of Arks (cryogenic pods) were sealed under the surface of the Earth with twelve people inside each." However, in the game's opening cinematic and through dialogue throughout the game, it's clear that the Arks are launched into orbit around the Earth and eventually descend back to Earth. This is why your starting location is a "crash site" and why Dan tells you the Authority and Bandits will be on their way to check it out (how would they know if it simply emerged from underground?) Anyway, I'm not a wikieditor, but I'm going to fix this silly oversight.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.105.248.163 (talk) 12:53, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  PC Version 

message: An anonymous IP has been trying for some time to insert bias into the reception section by misrepresenting the overall reception of the game. This is not acceptable in a neutral article. "Generally positive reviews" is sufficient to suggest to the reader that not all reviews are positive; the Metacritic and Gamerankings scores are available on the right for quick reference. Trying to insert a breakdown of how many scores were positive, neutral, and negative into the text is unweildy and unnecessary.
It is clear you have a grudge against the game, but this does not give you the right to attempt to insert bias into the article. Please stop. If you would like to have a discussion, you may do so here, but otherwise your repeated attempts to skew the reception section will appear to be little more than vandalism. Some guy (talk) 22:15, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Having just finished the game I have to say I find it curious that the article makes no mention of the ending whatsoever. Considering how lackluster the ending is, I find it hard to believe that there was no controversy surrounding it and nobody in the industry made note of it. That, and limited mentions of the poor PC optimization, makes it seem like the article is skewed in the other direction, honestly. Oh, and I'm not said anonymous IP, just felt like chipping in. --Smoochiekins (talk) 12:58, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't read through the article for a while, but assuming mentions of the poor PC optimisation are as limited as you suggest then they should probably be expanded since this was covered by various sites. With regard to the ending however, is it possible that you are in a minority in this regard? The fact that you found the ending lacklustre doesn't mean it is a widely held opinion. Unless it has been forwarded by the gaming (or mainstream) media, which you say yourself it hasn't, adding it into the article would be non-NPOV/OR. Alphathon  (talk) 17:11, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've played RAGE, and the ending is quite as bad as Smoochiekins says, but we need sources for everything. If you can find it in a notable review, you can mention reference that directly in the article. I never had any performance issues with the game personally.
