Guuuh drat you GTX 560 be good like you were like, 4 years ago :( 20 USD for a PC version would be nice instead of 90+ AUD for a console one.

Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

Yeah :( But at least we can bask in only having to do an hour long install, instead of the day or so download some people are stuck with.

poo poo man you can buy a couple at 20, wait for the preorder sale to end, and flip the keys for $30/40. Take the Mad Max risk and self fund that new card!

We got some serious shit to discuss.

Really liked the sound of that ingame soundtrack music during the prologue, feels appropriate to the franchise.

That intro was certainly something. :stonklol:

So this is the third time Max loses his Interceptor. :sigh: I hope we can get it back in the end despite building the Magnum Opus, or get to build an exact replica. I really want to drive around the desert in that black beauty.

I've seen screenshots where it has the chrome Interceptor body ala Fury Road I believe, so odds are it's in the game in some form :v:

Yeah, there is a car body called "The Wild Hunt" that resembles the Interceptor. Definitely going for that for my first playthrough.

I love what I've seen of the car combat and I'm hoping it gets deeper. I believe it did but the gameplay trailers have all started at the same point.

If you leave the edge of the play field it'll randomly generate storms and terrain as you drive out. Near as I can tell it's going to be entirely a fatal choice to do so, but there might be some achievement or something for "Survive off map for X minutes". As for how random the random generation is, who knows.

When you drive past the edge, the game wil generate flatter and flatter empty, random terrain, and very dangerous and very bountiful storms. Forever.

Edit: Argh.

The big reason to risk the storms is that they apparently contain large caches of scrap. It's a risk/reward thing.

Steam says 32 GB when I click Preload. I haven't actually preloaded it yet.

ImpAtom posted:

Yeah, I figure for $20 I can now safely take the risk even if I don't play it until after I finish Phantom Pain. Worst comes to worst I'm out a $20.

This was my reasoning too. It's unlikely to be cheaper for a while and I can jump right into it after I am done with PP.

Looks like my first time using GMG didn't gently caress me and the preload size doesn't even look that big. I keep forgeting that Avalanche isn't a part of SE and will not put 30 gigs of compressed cutscenes in this game.

Maybe, using a New Zealand VPN? The MGS5 thread was talking about unlocking their game a day early with that recently.

Doing some probing around with a few different locations on VPN I couldn't find one that gave me a favourable unlock time. My(British) unlock time shows 2 days and 3 hours from now, Australia shows the same. New Zealand and Singapore show 2 days and 5 hours from now, so they're even worse off. If someone finds anything to the contrary please update the thread, I'd love to play it early as it's a British holiday on Monday but I can't find anything that suggest PC will get a break.
