Angry Diplomat posted:I love this game a lot so far, but I do think that harder, more dangerous hand-to-hand fighting would improve it. Even if only occasionally, it would be neat if enemies would attack you two at a time and force you to evade or position yourself in such a way that you could parry one and block the other with his body. Um, they do attack you two and even three at a time though  During my 12 hour play session yesterday, I had multiple occasions where I was countering/beating on some scrub and a buddy would take the opportunity to break a bat over the back of my head.

This game has some of the best car noises ever. Even the wimpy starting V6 you get sounds awesome. Too many driving games don't make cars sound angry and aggressive enough.

Kibayasu posted:Fallout 3/NV/4 and GTA5, and only the re-release, are the only games I can think of that allow a switch between third and first person (and switching to third person view in Fallout was pretty pointless unless you wanted to peek around corners, the animations are limited at best). I guess the Rainbow Six Vegas games count but its only third person when you're in cover. What other game has ever done that? Is this the next pointless "thing" that people are going to start demanding because one big game did it? GTA 5 is the best example of it actually working and in Fallout the actual shooting is a mess and pretty much demands to be played in VATS mode. So yeah that guy demanding it is pretty loving stupid but it I guess it would be nice? I mean Metal Gear has also had this option for years and its pretty good but I don't think every game needs it at all.

My only issue with this game is being the aggressor so much. Like, the icon max image to me is him heading away from bandits at high speed, not straight at them. There's a wonderful excitement to a good pursuit, and I'd like to see it more here.

The game is cheaper then the Fury Road DVD. vOv Anyway, I when you have the ammo to spare I love throwing and shooting a jerrycan into a group of enemies. This was 8 people, now only one (plus one up the stairs)  And some fisticuffs in a duststorm while chumbucket repairs the magnum opus

Jet engines are lot more advanced and finicky than internal combustion engines. Also planes are made out of non-corrosive metals.

Not only is it unrealistic (I can probably carry 120+ shells in a bag easy), the game is taking away choices on how you play your game. I like guns. Let me use them to blow away cars and people with reckless abandon. Let me attach machine gun to my car and blow up everything in my path. The game won't let you do whatever you want to do, you have to play by its rules. I don't like that. Yeah, walmart stocks lots of ammo. You should be able to hit up walmart. it's stupid, it's not like you need a functional economy to produce things. quote:-Lack of weapons In the wastelands, there should be all kinds of guns. Revolvers, rifles, hand guns, automatic pistols, glocks, 1911s, but instead all we are stuck with is a sniper rifle which we can only use inside the car, and a shotgun. You should go look up Australia.

All of the movies are pretty different from one another, but I'd say Road Warrior, Beyond the Thunderdome, and Fury Road have more in common with each other than they do with the original movie, which barely looks "post-apocalyptic" by today's standards (though largely due to the very low budget production) and has almost none of the more fantastical elements and mythos

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:In the Kotaku review the guy literally opens with this - Oh how terrible, but bother to read the rest of it and it has plenty of nice things to say: 'Not everything about Mad Max is awful. The wasteland is austerely pretty, and driving through it can be pleasant. The car combat is reasonably engaging, especially once you unlock the Thunderpoon, a shoulder-fired missile used by Chumbucket, your mechanic and near-constant companion. Moments in the plot surprised me. There are five campaign-based achievements/trophies in the game, and I kind of enjoyed working to get the last two.' But ultimately he thinks the pacing is off, the game is repetitive and cribs a lot from the Ubisoft open world formula and other Warner Bros games, what are you going to do? Those complaints seem common, go have a look at IGN or Gamespot or Gameinformer but overall the game has been getting OK scores, its 73 on metacritic, you'd swear to god this game was getting ripped to shreds rather than a generally lukewarm to fairly positive reaction its actually getting, but Goons I suppose.

Yep, it probably does. As someone that doesn't really find fantasy & historical settings that appealing, it's great to finally have it in a setting that I enjoy that isn't GTAV DRUGSCRIMEMONEYHOES. Fallout has always been my most loved game series since the very first one; having another similar themed sandbox (LOL) to play around in is a lot of fun. It being Mad Max, a franchise I've waited to have a game based on since I was a kid is just the icing (yes I know Outlander, yes I played the poo poo out of that hard as BALLS game as a young 'un). I'm glad they didn't let the ADHD fest that is Fury Road completely take over the pace of the game. Someone mentioned Interstate 76 above, another short lived series that I loved. If this game had the depth of car combat in those titles and less time on foot it would probably be in my top 5 games. midge fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Sep 2, 2015 |

Muttonchips posted:The game is fun at a visceral level, but I can understand the low scores as it lacks polish. Solid 8 at most. Don't see this game winning any Game of the Year awards or anything like that unless they release some patches and work out the bugs. I dunno if you've read about how GTA V did it. Rockstar had to make thousands of animations and art for FPS to work decently. It's not like an over night thing.

This game owns, people who don't have it yet will get it and go "wow this game owns" and the dude who wants a rusted F-16 to fly bought the wrong game. If you don't like Mad Max or sand or cars you probably won't like this game. I bet in a month's time we'll have more people talking about how Metal Gear was overhyped and not as good as everyone said rather than people saying that about this game. I don't know if there is anyone in the Metal Gear thread mocking goons for hyperbole like this one though.

My biggest gripes: -let me climb up something even if it isn't painted "climb yellow." -balloons are slow and boring boo let me skip the ascent and descent animation -hey game, when I steal the flagship vehicle of a convoy and I drive it to my base after killing all its escorts during a brutal storm, maybe don't give me a message that says "can't collect that" and then respawn the entire convoy intact miles from my base with no credit given for taking over the convoy. -harpoon OP Still having a blast though aways be side swiping vehicles and setting poo poo on fire.

They need to change it so when you bring the dog to a mind field it just reveals all the mines at once. poo poo is boring having to drive around the field waiting for the dog to bark at every single mine. Thank god there is only three per field though.

I got in car brawl during a lightning storm and and lightning bulls-eyed the enemy driver frying him. Later I was bashing a warboy in the face with a club and he excitedly screamed, "This is the best way to go!" right before he died. Chumbucket notices and comments on everything which is really cool, I was cruising along and happened to glance over at the moon, and he started talking about how he didn't like the looks of it. It's also impressive how little he repeats himself, even when talking about the same thing he has all kinds of variations of stuff to say. Games cool.

Anyone else notice that when anything happens that "pauses" the action (like a prompt pops up saying "Press E to continue") that afterwards you can see your cursor on the screen? It's a little annoying but it's the only gripe I have so far!

The REAL Goobusters posted:Its not a new loving genre what the gently caress are you on about So when do common gameplay mechanics and tropes create a genre for the games that they're common to? If you make games that are similar to eachother for long enough they tend to form a genre - i.e. platformers, rouge-likes, etc. All the assassin's creed games, the two later Arkham games along with Origins, Shadow of Mordor, Max Max - they all feature common gameplay mechanics; I'd say that's the start of a new genre of games.
