If anyone is in doubt about the game: gently caress the reviews, whittling down convoys is cocaine levels of exciting, and slowly beefing up your car (and Max's beard) as you progress is worth every penny. Some dickheads wanted a rail shooter and they got a survivalist-part-Arkham-part-Red Dead-part-Twisted Metal mashup instead and it rules. If anyone is in doubt about your PC, I can run the game at max settings with a Nvidia 760 and a 1080p monitor. This thing is optimised to the finest detail and the minimum requirements are pretty generous.

How do I get the drat buddy and dog to clear the minefields. I went and got them from the ship, and dog is chilling at Jeet's in his half barrel. How do I switch to the buggy?

Go to your car in a stronghold and hit square(or the equivalent on other control schemes) instead of triangle. You can pick from a list of any cars you've brought back to strongholds or unlocked, including dog buggy.

Timeless Appeal posted:Can you elaborate on this? I like Red Dead because it was a quiet, well realized, and beautiful world in which I could read a newspaper and play some cards when I wasn't popping people off their horses. Is it like Red Dead in that way? its got the same bones. it doesnt have those quiet moments (that ive seen) but it has very clear on-foot controls and super loving good car combat. its like red dead in that you only have one car that you can call to you when you lose it. its a very solid game and sadly will be overshadowed by loving metal gear of all things

Ah ok, thanks. It's T on PC instead of the normal R which gets you in the Opus and out of the Stronghold. Also, it doesn't look like you can fast travel with other cars. I showed up at the balloon with the opus instead of the buggy when I tried to fast travel there.

Just got to Gutbash area in The Jack. Found a huge convoy, decided to tangle with it. I spend several minutes picking it apart, repairing, knocking off more escorts, scoring some major hits on the prime truck, etc. Then a massive electrical storm rolls in as I'm dueling two escorts that peeled off to gently caress me up while the convoy leader runs for the horizon. End result is that I've killed all but one escort and the main convoy truck and sand covers Max's twisted corpse in the wasteland after I took a one two punch from a flying piece of metal and a lightning blast. This game.

Okay goons, I'm buying this now instead of waiting for the sale because I actually trust this forum's opinions on games more than any other reviewer. I don't think I've ever seen this much goon praise and excitement on a game that turned out to be bad.

Dog Buggy/Minefields is probably my least favorite part of the game so far being honest. Why yes, I'd love to not drive around my pimped out murdercar, and instead take this easily killed buggy. And why yes, I'd love to have to stop and sniff every few seconds to try and find the 1 of 8 mines in this area to ????. Chumbucket seems to know where the mines live, so it's not like I'll be driving over them. I guess pretend make the area safer for the random people wandering around? That seems like a terrible idea. Like even the Scarecrows and Sniper Towers are super quick/easy filler. Just tap lb, harpoon them, and bam, they went down. No need to even get out of my car. Scavenging locations I could see becoming a bit of a pain to 100% clear, but realistically only the History ones matter at all ( and if everything else in the game was done, I could easily see someone full clearing each zone in maybe an hour, so it's not like they require much work either. ). But the Minefields require you go wander back over to the closest Stronghold, pickup dog buggy, drive back out, hopefully not get attacked by baddies, then slowly disarm 3/5/7/10/15 mines in a slow and tedious fashion.

The mine fields are pretty much the only tedious "do a thing to lower the threat level" objective, there isn't really anything else that out of the way.

The  rumor I heard from a friend in the industry was that the bros at Avalanche were really happy with the baller game they made and were super stoked to launch it, but for whatever reason the WB execs lacked faith in the game. I'll bet they decided not to pay their review bribe money.

I don't think I've ever seen this much goon praise and excitement on a game that turned out to be bad. Picture it: After completing a storyline mission, Max decides to stop by a midnight racing competition and cut his teeth on some Mario Kart. But unbeknownst to him, he isn't magically teleported back to the starting line when the race is over; in fact, he's still at the finish line in bumfuck nowhere, driving the entry-level scrub-grade jalopy he was forced to accept as a novice racer. Also, now it appears there are several hostile vehicles in hot pursuit. Maybe it's just coincidence, but it certainly seems like, with the racing rules behind them, the losers have abruptly turned Max into their quarry. Max flees into the desert, but he can't quite remember where the hell he was supposed to be headed, so he just drives and thinks. Does he get to keep this loaner vehicle? And where's Quasimoto, his beloved companion? So many questions distract him--so many that he crashes into a boat and mortally wounds his car (which is now on fire). The instant he ejects from the wreck, he must juke and dive away from spiked vehicles hellbent on "roadkilling" him. Max sucks a lot at this; one car clips him and sends him ragdolling while a second possibly runs over his head. Out of either hubris or mercy, one of his opponents then decides to park his car and kill Max with his bare hands. That's when Max spots the can of nourishing dog food that apparently fell from his wreck. Sustenance. He performs a tactical roll into his opponent, momentarily stunning them as he scrambles for the can. But the second vehicle forces Max to retreat before he can feed himself...and the other guy is already recomposed. This all goes on for several passes, with Max fist fighting the bad guy while dodging the car and frantically attempting to snag some dog food--back and forth, back and forth, like some sort of idiotic dance. Eventually the driver inadvertently runs over his buddy and takes just long enough to turn around that Max is able to feed. The music is frantic and, as the animation of Max cramming kibble into his mouth plays, we can see the car rapidly approaching in the background. But the dog food enables Max to take the hit like a champ, although the impact takes away pretty much every health point that was earned by eating the food in the first place. The Wasteland giveth and taketh away. Then Max realizes that he's got a shotgun and, with the vehicle speeding away, he manages to shoot the gasoline tank on its backside. The car erupts in a brilliant explosion, singeing Max's eyebrows and apparently killing one (of a trio) of water beggars who were trying to get front row seats on the action.  The last image of Max chowing down before getting run over.

Uhh so I was driving around during the night and saw a burning car and an injured Warboy on the ground, begging me to kill him. I've seen similar stuff before so I just exited my car to grant his request, and suddenly two spiky cars drive next to me and I have like 6 scary rear end dudes armed with post-apocalyptic naginatas chasing after me. This loving game.  "Nuh-uh, that's bait." Meta-Mollusk fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Sep 2, 2015 |

Reminder: love the game and want others to know this game is good? Post some of your cool screenshots in the PS4 thread and other appropriate places. It's all MGS talk in there. Just put the game on people's radar so they'll at least check it out. I can fully believe that WB didn't support it well enough, they are the worst publisher. This is a game that's going to do well on word of mouth alone, so be a bro to the Avalanche crew and introduce a friend.

Basically this game is a ubisoft checklist open world game with extremely good sound design, some impressively weighty car combat and satisfying if unimaginative on foot combat. If you're like me and don't mind that kind of game design but haven't been entertained by any of ubi's latest games that offered that style of gameplay, this is a loving awesome setting with some amazing spectacle which manages to elevate it above its formulaic foundations. It's very similar to Shadows of Mordor, but if you're a fan of car combat you shouldn't miss this game.

I've been upgrading Max's hand-to-hand combat skills a lot and goddamn I don't think I've ever felt like such a total badass in a game before. This type of combat was fun in Arkham Asylum, but Mad Max takes it on a whole new level. So loving brutal, and the sound design is  . Wish the corpses didn't disappear so quickly though. Besides the obvious realism aspect, it would also make navigating some of the maze-like camps and tunnels easier. Perhaps there is some .ini file that could be edited to fix it?

One of the harpoon upgrades allows you to do a special move where you attach yourself to the rear bumper of an enemy vehicle and make lots of damage by hitting the boost and ramming their asses.

So, I may have just missed it during the tutorial missions, but how do you steal cars? Like, if I see one parked, I can get into it, but does it do anything for me? I think I saw people mentioning bringing them back to a stronghold. Is there a way to jump onto a moving car though? Is that how I would grab a convoy leader? Also, I think I saw a car called a Scrapper or something, which my harpoon couldn't really do anything to, which said I'd get a ton of scrap if I brought it back to a base. How does that one work?
