1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/AndrewWK's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJorVvVF_x0 Ready to Die]]. Already a popular song, its manic and upbeat composition fits the anarchy of the trailers perfectly.
2	* 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.
3	* FriendlyFandoms: With ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', given that Creator/IdSoftware (and by extension, Creator/{{Bethesda}}) play a big role in the game's development. It helps that Rage 2's gameplay has drawn favorable comparisons to DOOM's, both being faster and more manic shooters on the heels of slower, more grounded stuff (the first ''Rage'' and ''Doom 3'', to an extent).
4	** Similarly, with ''VideoGame/MadMax2015'' and ''VideoGame/JustCause'', due to Creator/AvalancheStudios' involvement.
5	* SoOkayItsAverage: Critical reception to the game was decidedly mixed, with many critics saying that, despite having a great combat system, the game does little to make its large world feel alive or interesting. Player reception was a little more positive (many didn't mind the very [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks familiar]] open world because the combat is just that enjoyable), but not by much.
6	* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Rage 2'' was originally set to release only on {{Creator/Bethesda}}'s PC launcher instead of Steam (at the time, Bethesda was planning on making all their PC games exclusive to the platform), to much dismay. However, after ''VideoGame/Fallout76'' flopped, both games (along with ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'' and ''VideoGame/WolfensteinYoungblood'') were announced to have Steam releases. There was much rejoicing, especially since this came at a time when many developers and publishers were signing exclusivity deals with Creator/EpicGames' controversial store.
