coming from someone that played the hell out of rage 1, this is what i would expect from id software...the game gives you plenty of things to do all the while making you feel like a badass. from my time playing it, i never found my self bored. if you didn't want to do the main story you could attack a bandit camp, attack a convoy, hunt arks, do side quests ect. easily one of the best games iv played from id. i will continue to play this game in future due to updates and dlc add ons...well worth the wait.
