Does chum think dog food cans are full of food made from dogs?

Why else would a picture of a dog be on a can of perfectly good food?

I like how if you fall too far Max's bad leg goes out on him and he hobbles around for a bit.

There seemed something a little off about him, yeah. I was just wondering if that was a subtle joke about how people don't really remember pre-apocalypse (has a picture of a dog and has food inside, therefore dogs are called dinki-di and that must be what they put in the cans) or maybe I'm filling in gaps myself.

Saw this pop up on stream a few days "MAD MAX: THE GAME! BUY NOW!' And my response was "eh, another tie in game" and didn't look too much into it.

Saw someone playing it last night and checked the steam page. Apparently it's a mixture of Farcry/Just Cause and ~~My Little Orksies~~ Shadow of Mordor and actually really good? Is this an accurate description of the game, because if so I just might burn a bit of my paycheck to play this.

Max's leg brace squeaks sometimes, or at least it does early in the game.

Also if you fall from a height, he'll land poorly and limp on it for a while.

This actually is accurate. Keep in mind though that it shares some of those games flaws too however in that it gets repetitive, etc. But if you like that kind of game in general you will love this.

I didnt think Volition (the +scrap when looting scrap) was all too good, but gently caress if I was gonna put points into the +health when eating food. Then I braved a storm to find me some muthaloot boxes. The boxes have 3 parts each, each worth 100. With 50% into volition you get 25 extra scrap for each of those parts. So a single mutahloot box is worth 375 scrap instead of 300. I managed to snag 3 in a single storm - it's a nice additive bonus.

Welp, goodbye money! :v:

And yeah, I never complete those games but I still liked them. I mean, I only did about 2/3s of Just Cause 2 but I still had a blast grappling the ground to fly over an enemy base and flattening it with RPGs before grapple-gliding off into the sunset.

There are a lot of places to get it at a pretty deep discount. I used G2A and it cost me like $19. There are a bunch of other "grey market" vendors that have it for cheap as well.

So it turns out if you fully upgrade the V6, it gets a wicked twin turbo setup that pokes through the hood.

It also sounds properly boosted as well. Nice attention to detail there :allears:

I updated the OP now that the game is out. For anyone who wants to know whether or not the game is good, you can direct them there because I've assembled a collection of goon quotes, images, and videos from the game that show off what it's all about. If anything else sweet pops up, I'll try and remember to add it there.

Boombugs are nuts. That's the physics shockwave nearly flipping me from 3-4 car lengths away. It even has an ear-ringing sound effect for a time after the explosion. Are they packing C4 into those bugs?

It's pretty accurate. It's really as fun as you put into it, provided you enjoy T-boning fools and revel in their misery.

I have to really question the idea of eating maggots, scooped from corpses, as a survival food. Long term this does not seem like a Good Idea.

Edit: then again a lot of this game's mad max uni doesnt make super sense - shotgun shells would seem to be pretty hard to make, even if you have black powder and used grinded metal instead of pellets.

Then again - I can drive a spiky car across a dried seabed with a skull on my hood and revel in explosions. Game is great, game is pretty.

I didn't even realise you could stomp rats flat for convenient munching. Sometimes Chum would comment on it when I accidentally ran one over, but since they're so small I never noticed it. Crazy.

Advertising claimed Max would be able to drink his own urine if you ran too low on water. Someone confirm this.

Can you drink your own pee? (y/n)

Max spies something in the distance.

However, some scavengers were in hot pursuit.

Forcing him out of the car, he is left to dispatch of his foes on foot.

Having to watch the same canned animations for eating dog food and filling up the canteen is getting a bit old. Also having to manually raise/lower the balloons, that poo poo takes fffooorrreeevvverrrrr.

Rust Bird in the Colossus region: 5/6 scrap
The Scavenging Location across the rope bridge in the Blackmaws above the "S" in Blackmaws on the map: 2/3 scrap
Finger Peak, the lighthouse in the Chalkies region: 3/4 insignias
And how the hell do I get into the balloon outpost in Grit Canyon?

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Hey so I drink Rockstars at work because gently caress you, don't judge me, it's cheaper than Red Bull. Anyway do you guys want some hood ornaments, first come first served.
