Why does it matter that much to you? They'll have their own opinions soon enough, little else to do this close to release.

Roman Reigns fights CM Punk in fantasy warld. Lotsa violins, so littl kids cant red it.

Wonder when that will make it's way to the PC version - right now invert mouselook only applies to the controller. I can't be the only person who plays this way?

PC version seems to be insanely good in terms of performance, it runs ridiculously well on my 770. Using a controller so I don't know if the rest of the port is up to snuff.

If nothing else the opening of this game is cool as poo poo.

I got my car body and holy gently caress vehicle combat is already The Tightest poo poo and I've got gently caress all for upgrades :perfect:

Although I am not wild about some of the controls using a 360 pad. B is shotgun for some reason. Incidentally I wasted my only shot. :downsgun:

So far all I can really do is shotgun gas tanks (SUPER satisfying), or do a sideways ram/shunt move. Kinda like how Sleeping Dogs had.

I loved the side slam in Sleeping Dogs. I love it here. :toot:

So guess who just found out that the upgrades to Max's jacket/items/etc actually change their appearance? (it's me) I also found out that you can take Max's jacket off completely for nothing but a huge drop in defense if you really want to for some reason. It's MGS3 all over again.



Naked Max

edit: And by the way, hell yes there is an entire upgrades tab for facial hair/beards. I know you were wondering.

Some of the criticism I've read is the combat is too easy, so playing naked will give it a nice challenge!

Are there different outfits, or is it just upgrades that glue more stuff onto your jacket?

Gotta admit I like the sound of that. Max just looks so generic. I'm hoping I can get him looking a bit more unique.

Everyone should go in the options and change for the alternate controls when using a controller. On default there's no button for the handbrake, while there is one when using the alternate control scheme.

You magnificent bastard.

So I changed my password before I started so my phone would error out, then did these steps and I'm here in Australia 12 hours before release and it SAYS PLAY and IS UNPACKING! :)

I will spend today playing Max and discussing it with you lot.

THANKS!

Saw a "stuff you didn't know about Mad Max" video. Points of interest:

Original movie had a budget of $3000. Many people were paid in beer. The crazy bikers with weird outfits were mostly recruited from a real biker gang, who also worked for beer. An ambulance was borrowed for beer. It may be the beeriest movie ever.

Dog for Road Warrior was a rescue from a pound, one day away from termination. The director's wife noticed how good he was at focusing on playing with a stone, and they wanted an Australian breed for the movie, and they realized his focus meant he could be trained, so they got that boy. After the movie he went and lived on a farm.

It's 45 minutes to release for NA/SA, if you just want to wait. Otherwise any western European country should suffice currently.
