The best utility I've found for the sideburners is when you get stuck in a grinding race with another car. Sure you could just side slam away, but I prefer making those fuckers melt.

I know everyone was talking about what an insane shot Chum is, but no one mentioned the fact that he can do this at 100 mph on post apocalypse roads:



And I impaled a warboy into his buddies then went into capture mode to soak in the carnage only to discover the baddest dude in the wateland:


Little hard to tell in the pictures but he's giving me the "I got my eye on you" gesture.


EDIT: I crack up every time I pick up a thunderstick and a warboy yells "Hey, don't touch that!"

Every now and then I'll get this weird bug where I'll get stuck inside a rock. It'll let me move around inside it, but won't let me out of it. The only thing that gets me out of it seems to be fast travel. I have no idea how I got into it in the first place. Anyone else have this problem?

I high-center the Magnum all the time. I have to run away until I'm out of earshot then fire a flare.

It's got no video card.

Play it on Linux. Play it on a SP3. Play it on a C64.

These are all dumb choices for 3D games. You might be able to turn it down the point that it looks like complete poo poo and struggle with framerates constantly.. or you can just play it on a gaming computer.

It basically works like this.. if you could run it an any appreciable level on a SP3 this thread would be full of complaining about how it looks dated. See how everyone is posting screenshots of a modern awesome 3D engine cranking out high-def explosions with lots of particles and reflections and all the poo poo that makes them look good in 2015? Yeah, that means your onboard GPU (HD 4000 or whatever) isn't up to the task.

Man, I've barely dipped my toe into the game but I can't wait until I get a couple more upgrades. I've seen a few of you say that once you get past a certain point everything becomes a cakewalk, but when you're trying to take down a convoy with just a lvl 2 harpoon and a single shotgun shell, that is some loving white-knuckle action right there. I've been trying to get the new harpoon from that Gutgash convoy mission, and I've come THIIIIIS close...

There's another one that can be built before busting up the Jaw. The main thing about archangels is they require a certain paint job, making the stronghold bosses a prerequisite.

I just noticed they used Aussie pattern camo for the webbing max wears over his jacket on the 3rd upgrade, which is a nice touch.

Is there any way to get rid of that gross effect that comes up when you do a fury execution? It's screwing up all my sweet suplex pics :argh:

Max never had a daughter, though. He had a son, way back in the first movie.

On 11/12 dudes punched for the Unbeatable (unstoppable?) Legend, I stop to give water to some half-dead man and a War Pup appears and smacks me around.

I run back to the Magnum Opus, harpoon him and drag him around for a bit before slingshotting the corpse out of a cliff. Jerk.

Glory is meant to be the kid from fury road,in as much as this series does canon. The kid in FR is credited as "Glory the child".

This outright contradicts the comic but whatever, pick a backstop you like.

While yeah there's no "true canon", the picture aligns with Fury Road which seems to be the foundation for the game moreso than the old movies.

The truth is that Max has been wandering so long he can't even remember what his spouse and kid looked like. His memories from Before have turned to dust like everything else. Maybe he had a husband and they adopted a girl. Maybe he had a wife and son. The picture has been bleached into nothingness by the brutal light of the sun, but he keeps it with him anyway. It's the last thing he has of them. When the madness threatens to push him over the edge, he centres himself by staring at the faded outlines of his forgotten loved ones and letting his mind try to fill in the blanks. Will he ever come back? :smith:

Forsooth, milord. Verily, I hath often pointed out that in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", only one woman commiteth suicide. Ergo, it is foolish in the extreme to analyze Juliet's death in the perspective of the flower of womanhood. Furthermore, ITS A PLAY YOU FAGGOTS

Did I sum up your argument correctly?

Nah, Romeo and Juliet focused around one female character and therefore it would be valid, as you're not ignoring all the characterization of everyone else just so you can pick at one you don't like. I wouldn't mind if hope was literally the only woman in the game and people were pissed at that + what she is, but that's clearly not the case. Also you should read her backstory.

Nice try though.

Basically zero threat out in all of Jeet's territories, all of Pink Eye's territories, complete the story missions and do all the blue side-missions and you should be set for anything worthwhile. Everything else is just getting 100%.

I would add doing the stronghold upgrades too (maybe not the scrap piles) as they either end up being in camps or big hideouts. I've found some of the prettier locations mooching around for project parts.

There has to be something up whenever there's a big discrepancy between critical reviews and user reviews. I know "blah blah Metacritic isn't a metric for quality" but it's still pretty telling that Arkham Knight had an 87 average on Metacritic from critics and a 7.6 from the general public. Then with Mad Max it was exactly the opposite.

it's generally understood that publishers will bend over backwards to appease reviewers for certain games, sending them free goodies among other things along with review copies of the game. it's also understood that some pr firms will drop review outfits if they pan a title. gaming news sites get a lot of pressure put on them to report things positively and to gloss over negatives.

There are a few things like this, buzzards seem like they were meant to be more than just a few scattered groups you fight every now and again, especially after that first mission to go get your car body. Same with the religious gastown people and pinkeye, who you barely talk to unless you do the side missions.

I was going to ask about archangel bonuses. So archangels are, at best, just 'recommended' configurations?

Also, I found my first (non quest) body in the wasteland and Max just said he can't use it but it's good for scrap. Is that because it happened to be the same body as the one I picked at the start, so any subsequent ones I find will be added to my collection?

Well this game did good sales wise, right? There's always room for Mad Max games to grow now that its done well despite going up against another game that was going to be a hit despite all that was stripped down from it to save on costs.

At most Archangels are just stylistic designs that can't surpass you just putting what you want on the Magnum Opus and driving how you want. They're fittings that Chump dreamed up before he had a V8 in his hands.

going up against MGSV didn't do it many favors but it's probably more telling that WB will likely go on to do Mordor 2 and Avalanche will likely be supporting Just Cause, so it'll be a while before anymore Mad Max stuff crops back up. That being said, with how god the movie was and how adequate the game is, it's a god start for more cool poo poo in the long run
