The people in charge of the sound design for this game deserve a medal and a standing ovation because it's just so loving crunchy and solid. Fighting multiple cars feels legitimately hair-raising because of it, you really get the sense that these are big hefty vehicles causing serious damage to each other.

Getting a jawbreaker in fury mode sounds like a loving gunshot. Brutality.

Not only that, the towers take one harpoon pull. You can see them from a distance, and just a quick detour on your way to wherever hit them with a quickshot and drag them down without even stopping. It's quick, fun, easy, and really not a chore.

Real Road Warriors ram the towers. :colbert:

Convoy battles are such a loving spectacle. Rejoyce if you have one of the guys that belch flame from their car in them, because more often than not they'll crispy fry half the convoy for you :v:





I'm so glad they kept Shadow of Mordor's screencap function.

I wish those towers didn't drop scrap though - or there was a way to send Chumbucket to go and collect it instead of having to get out and grab it yourself. At least Chum starts repairing when you get out of the car - that's a nice convenience feature.

I was just chasing a convoy when a storm rolled in from the side. The wall of dust rolling in parallel to the pursuit, and then holy poo poo the sound in my headphones.

While fighting through the storm, trying to snag some motherloot and fend off two War Boy vehicles, I noticed something: the sandstorm was removing some of the rust from my Magnum Opus. I've now got patches of silver shining through. STORMS MAKE YOUR CAR SHINY AND CHROME.

This loving game man.

Suffered some problems downloading this last night because of 'Disk write error'. Steam support is completely useless, but I found what fixes this - under windows 10, at least - head to the folder that you're downloading to, steamapps/common, navigate to the end of the list and look for a 0-byte file with the same name as the game.

Delete that and retry the download.

Should be golden.

The Ripper is the very right hand car body in the garage tab. I'm not sure what the criteria for unlocking it was, but it's now available for me. Shortly after he garage was available I just had Shovelface (my starting pick) and Furnace, but Ripper was locked. Now it's unlocked. Why? Eh, dunno. It's not actually that great looking, didn't see a reason to swap from Shovelface which is best car. Furnace a very very close second.

There are also little dust devils in the game. Tiny tornados that when you drive into them they pick you up a couple of feet then drop you back down. Playful weather, such a nice touch.

I can't play longer than 5 or 10 minutes without my game crashing, more than likely due to graphics. I'm running an AMD Radeon HD 6970. I shouldn't be having any problems but here I am. I was so hype for this game too.

I wish you could collect stuff just by driving over it, maybe as an upgrade. And yeah, it's going to take time for me to get used the fact that the driver's side is on the right rather than the left.

Not to be a party pooper, because incineration looks fun, but is blowing people up with those gas cans kind of a waste of fuel? I guess I was thinking fuel for your car would be really scarce out there.

Has anyone run out of gas out in the middle of nowhere yet? If so, what did you do?

A really nice touch was that in Chumbucket's buggy, a car you drive for all of five minutes, if you enter from the wrong side there's an animation specifically for climbing over Chum in the shotgun seat.

My first encounter with Water Refugees: Find two people crawling in the sand, offer my water to the first person.

Second person somehow cannot be given water despite having more than half a canteen left, so I press the attack button and stomp them dead. Whoops.

Then I murder the first refugee. No witnesses!


The game does a very good job of making you feel very weak at the start. Even though I have the skills to tear apart a small convoy, the Magnum Opus is pretty piss-weak right now, so I am forced to let my prey go fairly often.

The harpoon gun seems kinda OP with the way I've been pulling dudes out of their cars. It's a bit of a pain that I can't then collect scrap from the functioning vehicle, I have to destroy it first.

I'd prefer rummaging through the twisted wreck of my enemies' vehicles for scrap, pulling parts out, instead of them exploding into convenient item pickups. Similarly, I think dead enemies despawn too fast, leaving this neat little pack of goods behind. I just killed a man, I want to loot his corpse, dammit! :argh:

The Warboys are downright polite about not noticing and attacking me when I'm parked off the side of the road doing a thing. I guess there needs to be a point between the AI being dumb and exploitable and it being intelligent and aggressive and hunting you down relentlessly.

Chumbucket thinks 'dinki di' is another name for 'dog' because of all of those cans scattered about the place with a label saying Dinki Di and a picture of a dog. He mispronounces it because he read it off a dog food tin.

Can we put this in the OP? I think this is the fourth time someone's brought it up today.

This was my concern too, 6970 seems just old enough that I'm not sure if it's better than the 78whatever the minimum specs recommend. If you get it working smoothly I'd love to hear though.

From my experience, this port appears flawless. The support hotswaps between keyboard/mouse and controller the moment you press ether of them. it's seamless. Obviously, I don't own a copy on both but it doesn't feel like a unconsidered port at all.

If you wanna hear a great sound, try driving the Spiky Buzzard combat buggy in first person. It's engine has fantastic sound (like it's a second from exploding at all times). Also the spikes mean you can barely see - those Buzzards are crazy.

Well, I had heard that the same people handling the PC port for Arkham Knight were doing this one as well, and both are published by WB.

I already pre-ordered on PS4. Perhaps I should've waited. I was just curious as to whether or not the game looked decent on PS4.

I have more or on the ps4. It looks fine except it doesn't have the $500 videocard aa. I do wish I bought some games different though. The witcher 3 I should of got on the ps4 and I think more or and this will be best on PC.
