** ''VideoGame/Rage2011'' came out during a massive DorkAge for Creator/IdSoftware and was criticized for being very [[RealIsBrown dull]] and [[SoOkayItsAverage uninspired]] (which was especially disappointing coming from the people that created ''{{VideoGame/Doom}}''). ''Rage 2'', in stark contrast, is brash, colorful, and has combat that has been compared positively to ''VideoGame/Doom2016''. Having Creator/AvalancheStudios handle much of the open-world and vehicle mechanics this time (which were seen as some of the weaker aspects of ''Rage'') didn't hurt matters at all.
** Both the expansions Rise of the Ghosts and [=TerrorMania=] have shades of this regarding complaints that the main game involves a lot of driving with little focus on combat. Both take place in much smaller, denser areas, with the latter disabling vehicles altogether, and enemy encounters spawn ''waves'' of opponents to take down, instead of dealing with a group and moving on.

The example misused Tainted by the Preview to just bash the game rather than detailing some sort of pre-release controversy or audience backlash.

So the 'good bug' was that the game was missing some copy protection? Not even a bug, and was written poorly as well.

*CompleteMonster: [[InsaneAdmiral General Martin Cross]] is the bloodthirsty [[BigBad leader]] of the Authority. An Ark survivor who wanted to restore order to the wasteland, Cross would kidnap various people to have them genetically mutated to serve as his mutant soldiers. Defeated and forced to hide underground for 30+ years, Cross announces his plan to [[TheSocialDarwinist wipe out the weak so that only the strong will populate the Wasteland]]. Invading Vineland and murdering every Ranger there--including [[PlayerCharacter Walker]]'s Aunt Erwina--Cross has the citizens captured to be used as test subjects for his cloning project, which would be used by Cross as a way to extend his mortality. Planning to expand his control over the Wasteland, he supplies Klegg Clayton with Goons for him to assassinate Loosum Hagar so that he may become mayor and be controlled by Cross, murdering him after losing patience. Later encountered by Walker for a final battle, Cross infects Walker with the nanotrite virus in an attempt to [[TakingYouWithMe take Walker with him]] to the afterlife.
