Haha, holy poo poo that's awesome. Having a blast with this game so far. It's pretty much what I expected in that it's a splendid way to wind down and gently caress poo poo up.

Sadly I was just talking about a what if scenario off Galaga Galaxian post :( . I have no idea what happens when you run out of fuel cause I keep topping off every time I get near half empty.

Yeah, I suppose I kinda read that in haste and responded. I'm pretty sure it just drives excruciatingly slower, which is what I believe the developers have said.

its like they found a old rockstar van and commandeered everything on it. Thats why any product placement works in mad max. You could have a monster truck with giant golden arches swinging back and forth on a pole with machine gunners on it and ronald mcdonalds face smiling on the grill and it would work.

I do indeed get PS4 button prompts. Check the controller mapping in the menu, does your game show a PS4 controller or X1 controller?

In an effort to kill myself, I bought 100 pounds of Mad Max Rockstars at Costco when they were on sale for about 80 cents a can. I have been drinking them nonstop because I believe they are a necessary part of the Mad Max Experience--a constant creeping anxiety, restlessness, and pain behind my eyes that I imagine one would only otherwise experience in a true wasteland. Chum tells me I "look like poo poo" and suggests I "put some party back in my guts"; I crawl like a dog towards a lone Rockstar can tucked beneath a frayed tarp shelter and drink deeply until my eyes hurt again.

No idea where it is or how to activate it but the mission I'm on requires me to do that one first.

This is a total blocker for me. You need the first armor upgrade to get The Jack archangel... but to get that first armor upgrade you need to complete Wasteland Classic, which is the mission to get The Jack. :gonk:

I love that early quest where you suddenly tell Chumbucket he has to stay behind with the car while you go take care of personal business (getting high as gently caress with a weirdo in the desert), and he just sits there grumbling about how you kinda have a divine mission to undertake but sure let's just hang out here in the middle of the incredibly dangerous desert for no reason.

Edit: Did anybody else not figure out for an embarrassingly long time you need to make Max stand up after leveling up your special abilities? :sweatdrop:

My copy finally showed up. I decided to look at the manual while waiting for the game to install. It's just one page that consists solely of a picture of Max driving through a bunch of exploding cars while firing his shotgun.

EDIT: Also Amazon emailed me an extra Ripper code for the PS4 for some reason. I guess if you somehow didn't get it and want it send me a pm.

Game owns. Graphics own. If you like the movie and have a PC that can run it, $20 is a no brainer. Car combat is so meaty. 4 hours in and i'm still having lots of fun.

Nothing is broken, it's just that the mission objective is worded in a confusing way. What you're supposed to do is assemble enough scrap to buy all of the parts for The Jack EXCEPT for the one in the mission, then it will become available for purchase because the objective changes from "get enough scrap to make all the parts" to "make the last part". In the interim you're supposed to make everything but the last, still-locked part using the scrap you got for the previous step. But it doesn't say "make the last part", it lists the part you are supposed to make as the reward for the mission, because inexplicably poor wording.

Video games.

... Wow. Yeah, that did it. You have to even equip everything but that last part. I had them all, but didn't equip them, because I had better stuff and knew I was missing a piece.

That's really lovely wording, in an otherwise awesome game. :)

Man, I'm really on the fence about getting this so I thought I'd ask people with questionable morals a ton of questions.

So there's no nemesis system I take it? That sucks, this would be the perfect game for it and it makes me worry since everybody is comparing this to Shadow of Mordor which was a fun game and all, except the nemesis system was pretty much the only reason to play it for more than the hour it took to finish the story.

So what are the enemies like? All the previews I've seen just show a bunch of carbon copy war-boys and that lame and boring looking end boss. Is there any variation to enemy cars too, or is it just 'warboy buggy', warboy truck' ect?

Also lets talk auto shop, how how much control do you have with car customization? Do you add incremental stuff like spikes for your muffler or whatever? Or is it just 'equip warblastertron body for +15% warblasting'? Can I have that badass war-rig horn from Fury Road?

Is ammo/fuel/water actually scarce or is it another one of those games where after an hour you're king of rich mountain?

Can I customize my Max? I've seen pics of him clean shaven and full abusive drunken step-father beard, is that just story stuff or can you play dress-up? If yes, is there much options in that department?

Is there much in the way of weapons, I'm not looking for Call of Duty, but is there at least more than the sawed-off, the sniper, and a club?

How about the location, is there much to see out there in the wasteland or is nothing but dunes and rock outcroppings with a couple large baddy bases, one of the things that really turned me off to SoM was that everywhere was pretty much exactly the same looking swamp with ruins in it.

Car chases, is there any challenge to them or is it just 'ram buggy, it dies, harpoon guy out of truck, collect money'.

Also, did somebody say there's a place I can get this for $20 or am I on heroin again?

I'm interested to see where this game can go once the modding community gets hold of it. For anyone not familiar with Just Cause 2, that game was very moddable, and done so well that a multiplayer mod (oh god yes in Mad Max please) was appropriated and made an official patch for JC 2 on Steam.
