How is the dlc

[REPENT]

I prefer to buy buy the base game alone, unless DLC is something amazing. How is the rage 2 dlc? Is it amazing or is it just ok

I'll say what I have said b4. If u r going to buy this game I strongly recommend getting the Deluxe edition. It comes with the BFG from the Doom franchise which is a weapon that is great for dealing with one of the toughest enemies in this game called "Authority Sentry's". The higher level ones in particular r very tough & I consider them to be the toughest enemies in the game. The Rise of the Ghosts DLC is also quite good. It has 2 Vaults(locations where u get good things); one has a weapon called the "Feltrite Laser Launcher"(a very good weapon) & the "Void" nanotrite ability(arguably the best ability in the game). As for what nanotrite abilities r; basically they r super powers u get in the game.

The Deluxe edition does not include the other Dlc's which is the Cult of the Death God & Terrormania. Neither of them r as good as the Ghosts dlc however and r also just smaller overall. They r not recommended(unless u r rich and just don't care) as u need to buy Rage Coins in order to get them & Rage coins never go on sale.

Also just a heads-up u will need to create an account at Bethesda.net in order to activate and receive the bonuses for the Deluxe edition. However this is a one time deal and no 3rd party programs or applications need to be installed, and the flag is uploaded to ur copy of the game so u don't need to re-sign in or stay signed in or any of the Ubisoft ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Ultimately its up to u however. I don't particularly consider anything in life to be "Truly AMAZING!". At least not anymore, but the Deluxe edition is what I purchased & have been over-all quite happy with.

Ok. Interesting. I will have to ponder this.

I did like terramania, although I find the sword a bit too slow over it's DPS - considering the fact if you didn't get a perk that allows you to heal when you get feltrite crystals, you can get swarmed on all sides fairly quickly and can die really easy. Even with the bonus for damage it just doesn't hold up against any other weapon.

BFG is one shot deal - it is expensive to use at 800 dollars per shot - you cannot find ammo for it anywhere - it's good for bosses you don't want to fight.

Ghost DLC is just more of the same from base game - it's pretty good.

Depending on what it is YOU want I would choose from these options.

Base game only: You just want to play it and move on after beating the story a few times.

Deluxe edition: Want to do more after the story, and don't care about 3rd party DRM.

Deluxe edition + Terramania: Achievement hunting.

Deluxe edition + more DLC to all DLC: Massive fan of this game and will put about 400-800 hours into the game. (Or massive whale who doesn't care).

Also if you want to buy this on sale, Tomorrow this ends - you have 17 hours from the time I post this to buy it - after that you'll have to wait for the fall sale to grab it.

Again which ever one is best for you.

You're certain that it will be on sale in the fall?

Most games usually do - this game is old, if it released this year - it would be hard to say. Also - https://steamdb.info/app/548570

I thought you only have to use Bethesda DRM one time and then never again. I like to play games offline without checking in to an online server.

I made an account and got my DLC - not sure if it automatically signs you in - then again I play in online mode with steam - so I never really payed much attention to it.

It's not like Origin where you see it sign you in to play the game. That you'll have to look up to see.

If i want a fun shooting game to turn my brain off, is this game good enough?

This has some resource management, and weapon development, which requires menuing. You only have so many weapons, a lot of the skills also requires a bit of strategy - Despite that yeah you can run and gun if you want - just play in Easy mode.

For a really good Run and Gunner I would look into borderlands, It's on sale also.

Edit: Actually if your having a hard time deciding I would just wait it out till the fall sale. No use making a stir of a moment decision on a time limit at the end of the sale. Do a bit a more research, like on youtube and when your ready to get it on the next sale(If you want to get it) You'll be in a more comfortable situation next time.

The game isn't going anywhere anytime soon, No announcement has been made about a delist yet.

Edit 2: Like me I was on the fence about getting this game also - I played and beat the first one 100% a long time ago, and what really had me not wanting to play this game was the Rage coin situation. - After watching a few videos of it I decided at this point my purchase really meant nothing in terms of supporting being that I bought it 80% off and it's so old it really doesn't matter. If they try this again with Rage 3 - I'll do the same thing wait for a massive sale years later and buy it then.

Its a Flag or Key. When the account is setup it syncs ur Steam account "FafnirChaos" and installs the I guess Key would be the right word into the games files which unlocks the Deluxe editions bonuses.

@Repent, after the initial setup u can play offline no problem. As long as it is the same save file(& u haven't done any shady shenanigans), it will not require u to sign in to anything.
