Only on the weakest enemy cars. On later cars you need to bash off the armour and harpoon off the doors before you can get at the driver.

This game is good. The review sites that are making GBS threads on it are the same that never think twice about glorifying the bunch of crap that ubisoft releases every year.

I got caught out in the open by a car and only one shotgun shell, so I aimed at a tire and blew it out. The car flipped and sailed a couple of inches over Max's head and crashed down behind him - it's one of the few times I wished I'd been running some kind of recording software, or been fast enough to go into capture mode. It was so loving cool

played a little of this after mgsV last night. having fun so far, cannot fathom why it got poo poo on by a few big sites but I feel the playerbase opinion will win out since it's so different from other open world checklist thingies. I like how much on the car you can upgrade and tinker with, though part of me is afraid I'll get to that "uber god" point like in Mordor where everything was way, way too easy. Right now of course it's different and I love how the combat on foot is weighty, frantic, and heavy. Only takes a few hits to gently caress you up and the counters feel less forgiving than Batman does. The car driving is a blast, especially when you go into 1st person; driving through the first base and all the flaming traps and poo poo from that perspective was loving cool. I'm wondering if that dust storm that kicked up afterwards was random, too.

So all the posts in here are making this game out to be a ton of open world mayhem fun, something no longer in vogue among a lot of reviewers for whatever reason. But nobody's said anything about more scripted, campaign missions. Are they just throwaway or do they not even exist?

But nobody's said anything about more scripted, campaign missions. Are they just throwaway or do they not even exist? It's like most other open world games, there's a cutscene and you go do the mission. They haven't been as heavily scripted as these things tend to be, they're mostly just variations on stuff you'd be doing anyway, like taking over camps and stuff.

If you're good at the combat, its pretty much way way to easy from the get go anyway, as "spam melee, counter every now and again" is supplemented by "shoot guy you can't dodge". The car combat actually seems hard vs some enemies (i'm pretty pissed that there was no reward for (chumbucket base) killing everyone who was attacking chumbuckets base as that took me ages and I had to drive off and repair a few times.

Holy poo poo gently caress minefields. Got the dog and the buggy in the optional mission and it showed "hey clear out this nearby minefield!" First mine showed up a good 20-30 feet away from the buggy, easy to defuse. Second one showed up three feet away and I immediately ran it over, setting the buggy on fire and putting it on its side. I apparently can't flip it or repair it so I had to restart the mission. Second try the first mine was Chobayt posted:Is cdkeys.com one of the legit ones?

The thing I really like about the combat is that if you go for a few cheeky heavy attacks the counter button is not going to save you like it does in Batman because counter will not cancel your attack animations. You have to weave them in and out of regular attacks and it feels incredibly rewarding when you successfully take down a pile of enemies without a scratch. That's the beautiful thing about Mad Max, he's not some kind of superhero. Hell the game even starts with him getting his rear end kicked by a few warboys, it's perfectly fine to take a few licks in combat.

I only got to play for an hour or two last night, but the game is real fun so far. Looks gorgeous on PC and is optimized really well too, my video card is 3+ years old and I can run everything on max ( ) settings.

Ok, so this game is loving great. I purchased MGSV yesterday and gamefly'd this. While MGSV is definitely badass, I've been enjoying this one more right out of the gate (not saying it's better than Phantom Pain, it's just more accessible to me right now). I'm not one to usually discuss reviews, but in this case I gotta bring it up. Many Arkham Knight reviews complained about the game and then gave it crazy high scores, many of the reviews I read on this yesterday praised it for how fun it can be and then gave it mediocre (some, like Gamespot, terrible) scores. It's just a head scratcher. Everything around these two games feels inversely fishy in regards to how they were treated by the gaming press. While I have never worked in said games press, I have been involved with another consumer products site from a different industry for several years now and here's what I always see happen - they go easy on the big money advertiser's products and fluff those reviews, and then go extra hard on product from the non-advertisers to show how "unbiased" and tough they are. It's bullshit. I'm guessing this is one of "those products" to show how tough they are on things. I dunno, it's the only thing I can think of. Anyways, to use Arkham Knight as an example for those on the fence about this game, while I enjoyed some the Batman fight/detective stuff I generally found most of it tedious, unfocused poo poo and finally traded it in after letting it sit for a month. I find (thus far) this game scratches that itch much better. It's loving crazy. Others have said it, but it's like Shadows of Arkham Twisted Metal. Good poo poo.

The REAL Goobusters posted:So if I don't like batman style combat will I enjoy this game? Probably not. The melee is very Batman. There's a lot more to the game, but you'll definitely be swinging flurries of punches at dudes and hitting a button to counter, occasionally dodging guys with nastier weapons.

That's like reviewing a racing game poorly because you're tired of racing games. It makes no sense. It's a type of game; if you dislike it because you categorically dislike that sort of game, then it's not for you, obviously. You have to rate the game on its own merits. I very much enjoy open-world games since I feel they're the pinnacle of what a game should be, more-so than a linear on-rails type of game that might as well be an interactive movie.

The minimum requirements seem inaccurate for this game. For fun I installed it last night on a spare computer with a Q6600 CPU, Radeon HD 5830, and 8 GB of RAM. I turned all the graphic settings down to Normal or Off. At 1600x1200 I was getting 45-60 FPS in the beginning tutorial area. I imagine it'll probably get lower once I get to the game proper. But I'm impressed how I was able to get it to run and play decently on such an old machine.

A good idea is to not read most threads in this forum for until at least about a week after a game's release since its practically impossible to tell if a game is actually good or if people are still in the justifying their 50 dollar preorder and five months of hype phase. Just appreciate the irony of people complaining about reviewers not losing their mind about a game when in any other situation they'd probably be moaning about a big studio backed licensed game being let off the hook.

I'm still enjoying that style of gameplay, but that's because the only Ubisoft open world games I've played before this are AssCreed Black Flag and Far Cry 3 Maybe i'm just not burned out on this style like a lot of gamers, but i've never touched the Batman games, never played any Assassin's Creed except for 4, and am thoroughly enjoying the way Mad Max plays. It helps that it's basically Black Flag but with cars instead of ships, since that's all I was hoping for.
