Barracuda Bang! posted:So, I may have just missed it during the tutorial missions, but how do you steal cars? You can use your harpoons to yank the doors off of cars, and then yank the driver out. You could just shoot them as well, but that runs the risk of blowing the car up in the process. That's how you commandeer vehicles that are currently, uh, occupied, without exploding them. If you drive a car back to a stronghold, it becomes a permanent resident of your garage, and inside the stronghold you can pick the car to spawn one of that type and then drive around in it instead of the magnum opus. You cannot jump onto moving cars. To that end, you have to blow up convoy leaders in order to get the hood ornament because it's otherwise attached to the car. Hell, even if you pull the driver out, you still need to blow it up to shake the prize loose. Scrapulances are special cars that you have to relieve the driver of and then get in yourself; all you have to do is drive it back to any stronghold and then you get a pretty hefty amount of scrap (I got like 5-600 from my first one).

Anyone who doesn't like this game has no fun left in their soul. My game of the year right now, even with my crippling OCD to "clean" the map before moving on.

Barracuda Bang! posted:For the Scrapulances...how do you get the driver out? I'm not sure I was able to target the doors with the harpoon, but I could be wrong. You can pull doors with the starting harpoon I think. Go for the right side, though. Seems pulling the left door doesn't let you yank drivers. Speaking of Scrapulances, they've been spawning pretty heavily around Jeet's for some reason. Oh well, free scrap!

 Spying a convoy in the Colossus region from a balloon:  My first storm (other than tutorial one) I had just gotten to a scrap camp, killed the guys inside on foot while the storm arrived and got out just intime to my car. I found a loot crate, harpooned it to stop it blowing away and just after I opened it a piece of sheet metal hit me off a cliff.  I think I might turn all my settings to full as well, PC seems to be taking it easy with a GTX660Ti.

Ville Valo posted: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. You ever figure this out, mate? What you need to do is install all the other parts for The Jack then Chumbucket initiates the "Wasteland Classic" mission to finish off the Archangel. But I can imagine you were doing the same as me and keeping your Opus unique with better upgrades until you unlocked the armour.

Seems like a pretty big oversight that hopefully will get fixed at some point.    After that fight I commandeered one of the Buzzard cars, started driving it back to the stronghold and noticed this:  "Push A to drop mines". Think I just found my perfect vehicle for taking out convoys.

Played this most of the day yesterday, already got a ton more hours in today, and I'm only 13% complete with 5 story missions finished. Just spending all my time chasing cars, hunting scrap, and a good chunk of my time goes into the photo mode. The PS4's video recorder is getting a hefty workout too, I just wanna record every fight, they all feel SO loving GOOD. Here's 2 minutes of a random fight against a truck of War Boys, in which I discovered weapon parries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZLz5ZR_Mw And another short fight dodging flaming wreckage to try and get back in the Magnum Opus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPIHigXWlv4 Game good.

For any goons on the fence about this one, it is a great game. Driving and car combat is fun, melee is brutal and satisfying. My graphics card doesn't even reach the minimum requirements but I have noticed no problems whatsoever. Helps that I run it in 1280*1024 I guess. Game of the year contender for me. Now if the music while in combat was straight from the movie, I'd be a very happy man. Modders?

The screenshot feature built in the game is rad, but it doesn't capture glorious 3400x1440, it cuts the sides off! I can play the game no problem but when I try to use the fancy screenshot capture thing I have to slice my sides off.

CDkeys.com is about as 'legit' as a grey market reseller can get. They have a big Facebook presence (check em out for an extra 5% off) and pop up on hotukdeals all the time where I've never seen a negative comment. They also had very fast customer service when I had to make some enquires about my Arkham Knight preorder DLC. The actual negative reviews for this are really weird. At it's most base level, it's a competent, well made open world game. For anyone into the more niche aspects*, it's a must buy. *Although don't know anyone who isn't in love with Fury Road, so.....

I reached the second area and when I went to the blimp to unlock all the icons on the map my eyes kinda glazed over. It's definitely a checklist open world game and I can see it getting super repetitive since the map is so freaking big. What's there feels really good though, so I guess your appreciation for this game will depend on how burned out you are on open world games in general. It doesn't help that this year has already seen several of the best games in the genre, ever, but I think in any other year this would be a universally well-regarded game.

Oh man. I never thought about using my grapple like this, but for giggles I latched onto a car's bumper when they were trying to flee and then dragged them around with my nitrous. Usually I snap the cable and then ram them right there and then, ending the fight, but this time I parked the car up with the harpoon still attached, got out, walked over to my struggling victim, pulled him out of the car and curbstomped him three times before he finally died. loving hell.

Turns out the minelayer car works like a charm, at least against these lower level convoys. Waited in ambush, drove in front of them and started unloading my endless supply of timed mines on them. Too bad I couldn't capture the moment when one Warboy had the brilliant idea of jumping on a Buzzard car.   Songbearer posted:Oh man.

So I wanted to complete a project loot camp before driving around in the storm which just started. I went to squish some warboys before jumping out, one of them climbed on my bonnet and kicked my in the face through where the windshield is supposed to exist. Chumbucket came into the passenger seat to fight them off too   Then I get out to fight them hand to hand but no, I can't do that. A lightning bolt hits two of them, turning them into gibs and throwing me on the ground. (yes that is a head in the air)  This game is the best.

Dinki-Di also makes Aspirin? A goode dogge.  Hit a convoy vehicle so hard the skull hood ornament went screaming past me.  Is there any benefit in taking the convoy lead vehicle back to your stronghold? I just wanted to make sure I got my car trophy, as it was my first successful convoy takedown. If anything, the harpoon is a little too good. Chumbucket noscopes the driver if you just tap the fire button, makes dealing with some cars a little too easy.
