Why cookie Rocket posted:Of course the shotgun sucks. Everyone has seen Road Warrior, right? Frankly I'm a little sad that the shells in this game fire every time. To be fair, every time the shotgun actually works, it's supposed to be this amazing and impressive thing. Yeah, it misfires all the time, but when it works Max ends up obliterating some guy's head and his car takes out like three other cars as it flails around. It works pretty much exactly like I'd hoped it would, as a gently caress You Button, to be used sparingly when you just don't want to deal with that poo poo.

Only one shot misfires, and that's because it was a lovely shell anyway. It came from a looted corpse with another shell that just fell apart when he squeezed it.

Great, so it'd be cool if your shells in this game (which are frequently looted off corpses), had the same firing success rate as Road Warrior and Fury Road. That's all I'm saying.

That would be fine if it was fairly rare and triggered a very brief sequence where Max aims, all the nearby enemies flinch and wait for the bang, there's a click, and Max and the target both glance at the gun and then at each other in silence for a fraction of a second before the attacking and screaming suddenly resume all at once

That's all I'm saying. The problem is, having a thing like this where a player's ability just randomly doesn't work, even if it totally fits in with the setting, is what we refer to as "loving bullshit". It's the sort of thing that won't really add much to the game, and all it takes is dying once because you got killed by a guy when your gun didn't fire because of the RNG to realize that it's kind of a dumb idea. It works in a movie because the gun not working can serve the plot and the story. It's bullshit in a game because it puts a central game combat mechanic at the mercy of random chance.

It could be pretty funny if it only triggered against the last enemy standing, and then Max killed them anyway by just loving clubbing them over the head with his useless piece of poo poo shotgun. I'd laugh pretty hard if I got blindsided by a humorous little cinematic like that.

I'd love a special execution move where Max grabs a shell from an enemy's bandoleer and blows him away with it.

Disgusting Coward posted:Die Rolla best chassis. I will fight anyone who says different. I've spent a quite while tooling around in the Furnace, Shovelface, and Wild Hunt, but I have to say, Die Rolla and the Death rattle really do look fantastic. Death Rattle is great for that grody bodged-together highway death raider look, and Die Rolla is just stylish as hell. I keep switching between them and mucking about with paint, spikes, ornaments, and decals to find new looks that I like Gotta get that ridiculous gold paint. Die Rolla looks grotesquely opulent in it and I am excited to play as Fancy Max in his V8-driven wasteland oil baron chariot.

Ohhhh I get it. Death Rattle, as in like, the "bleuuurrrggghhh" people do when they die, that kind of death rattle. I've played this game for a fuckjillion hours and and only just got the joke.

Also, this pic was taken when a storm was approaching. It was creeping slowly and ominously over the landscape.

I love how, despite having endgame-level upgrades and being able to murderize just about anything thrown at me, there are still moments in the game where a bizarre conflux of factors come together to just completely wreck my poo poo. I was about to snap some necks up in one of the enemy bases that I think was in Deep Friah's territory (I don't remember which one, but it's on top of a large bridge/overpass over a valley and absolutely chock-full of thunderpoon dudes). After I smashed in the gate, snapped a few necks and was about to get into the base proper, a sandstorm hits. I've only just gotten the first V8 upgrade, so scrap is still loving precious and I head back to the opus to hunt down some motherloot. The Storm winds are blowing towards the base, and being that it's over a huge goddamn valley, the motherloot crates keep chucking themselves into the bottom of the gorge, right beneath the base. It's not a death-pit or anything, so I hit the gas and chase them underneath the base. Now, somehow, each and every singler 'pooner inside the base had an angle on me down there, and at any given time there were no less than 3-4 glowing red circles of death all around the opus, breaking the boxes and scattering the loot. Once a box is broken, the loot is immune to being moved by the wind, but NOT immune to the cavalcade of explosions falling all around me. I think I lasted all of 30 seconds in there.

I haven't completed a lot of the driving challenges and races, but I can't really muster any enthusiasm for those. I think I might start a new game anyway, not gonna build the stronghold upgrades that fill your health/tank/ammo/water, get some scarcity going.

I know people will disagree, but man I wish there were some mutants or monstrous animals in this game. Even dingoes and other Australian poo poo. It would make spelunking in some of these locations a lot more tense than "which flavor of bandit am I gonna beat the poo poo out of today?" The "feral" people are a pretty nice deviation, though, since fighting them is a lot different than most enemies.

So has anyone out there bought a steam key from G2A or any other of these key sellers successfully? I'd really like to play this game, but am on a short budget right now and don't really wanna wait a year for the steam summer sale.

Original, no-budget trilogy? Sure. This version where things are so messed-up there isn't even an ocean? Heh. Yeah.

Oh joy - I think I have a fun bug where you have to kill the Archytect and it turns out there's one little goon who spawns waaaay up on a cliff and you can't reach him. You can't drive in the car due to invisible walls, nor is there any location to drive up and snipe Unless there's any car that exists that come with thundersticks.

I'm only missing the "kill 8 guys in a single Fury mode" for the ground combat Legends. Any place where I can cheese this easily? I think the game remembers who have you killed (or at least it does when the objective is to kill every enemy in a camp), so each time I fail is one less chance to do it.
