Certainly looks better than this pile of meh.

Cripes, it's so empty and the car combat looks like it's going to get old very fast.
Looks like there isn't really much vehicle variety either, man are there EVEN motorcycles and gyrocopters?

The next game needs gyrocopters and flamethrower tankers(if those aren't already in this one)

Are there any multiplayer games that are set in a Mad Max-esque setting? Car combat and makeshift weapons are a must.

A few reviews from no name sites that broke embargo are out, decidedly :mediocre: at 6.5 and 7.5, tl;dr the driving is boring, missions repetitive, and the scenery gets old, but it has a good atmosphere and decent customization options for the car.

The reviews are poo poo and not really worth linking since the embargo will be up shortly, but I'd definitely expect similar results across the board from the bigger publications.

Yep, that's about what I expected, glad my gut wasn't wrong for once.

There was a game a couple years ago called Ravaged that was basically Mad Max Battlefield 2. It was bad and died quicker than almost any indie MP title I've ever seen unfortunately.

Yeah, for a game centered around car combat, I'd expect a pretty detailed destruction system.

So far it looks like all this has in that department is uh, bump into cars until they explode.

MGS5 is a great game and Mad Max could be a great game too, but I haven't played it so I dunno, this thread has made me turn my disinterest in it around a bit to where I'd be willing to drop 30 bux on it.

I've decided that all I want out of a Mad Max game is an appropriately crazy-filled wasteland with mooks to punch and cars to smash, I just wanna drive!

When stopping to loot a small camp, is it normal for an enemy car to come flying over some rocks, spiral out of control though the air, and explode in a ball of fire without any input from the player? Because that just happened :stare:

You witnessed him, surely? :colbert:


Played for an hour, alt tabbed right now, this game is ridiculously fun holy poo poo.
And what an AMAZING port, it runs incredibly well maxed out on my modest rig with my 750ti and i5.

It probably has the best driving I've ever seen in an open world game, it's just fun to drive around to no where, I doubt I'll ever use fast travel really... unless something changes to make driving everywhere not so pleasant.(besides the occasional raiding party on my rear end)

The melee combat doesn't make much sense for Max himself but I can't bring myself to give a poo poo cause it's visceral and fun to watch, freeflow combat is probably my favorite trend in gaming so far.

The story, from what little I've gathered so far, isn't amazing but it's Mad Max as heck and thus doesn't really need to be.
The world has gone mad and you're trying to survive in it, that's all one needs for a Mad Max story.

I can certainly see where some reviewers wouldn't care for most of the game cause it really just reuses mechanics from most Ubisoft games and just adds its own post apocalyptic twist to it.
Luckily for me, I love the Ubisoft system of collectathons and conquering towers and all that poo poo.

Good poo poo, will be playing this for a while.

I do however REALLY wish the game would let you climb more stuff like ledges and cliff faces, it can be annoying when you fall over the side of a small ledge and can't just friggin climb back up and you have to go all the way around or repeatedly jump and hope you sort of glitch back up.

Can I please make a suggestion to anyone playing on PC in 2015

Are you still using a mouse and kb exclusively? Ok.. let me tell you that in recent times consoles have done really well. Most of the modern games (certainly the ones with the massive budgets) are developed for the consoles first with the PC port coming after. But there is no console vs PC bullshit, because Microsoft holds all the cards (don't get me started in a professional context, if anyone knows me from SH/SC) and makes BOTH one of the two consoles to have AND the only PC OS to have.

What this means is one of the very best controllers, the XBOX One controller, is available for your Windows PC. It plugs straight in with a USB cable and none of the functionality is lost. So, when you go to play games now.. you can just grab your controller and play on your 'console' (the game doesn't know, all the prompts and art is always there for the XBOX Controller because it's the standard). Games that didn't think about mouse and kb first don't drive you into a rage now, because you just pick up your controller and marvel at how a device specifically designed to play your games often does a far better job than a control system from the 70/80s.

Do yourself a favour and go and get a controller. Yes, aiming and shooters will always be the domain of the kb and mouse and you can head back to the desk when you wanna play Ark or Rust, etc. But embrace the console revolution, because MS is at the pointy end and they just happen to be the same bros that give us the modern computer.

Aiming parts of games are usually designed around the controller, so like aiming the harpoon in Max slows time right down (so you can faff around and be inaccurate with sticks). But that's fine, because you still get the job done and then you're back driving with a controller which leaves feathering WASD for dead. If it was a situation where 180 degree spins and headshots were the order of the day, then sure, I'm on mouse and kb too.. but it's just not like that for so many games.

Ok, I'm done. If you have a gaming pc, then go and pick up the XBOX One controller. Plug it into your TV and sit in your lounge room on your 'console', on whicht I can alt-tab and upload screenies to SA while the game is paused.

But this plays perfectly with a M&KB?
I'm also reduced to an 80 year old man that has never gamed before whenever I put my hands on a controller, I'm completely awful at using them.

I did a balloon like a speed run, being as efficient as possible and ignoring all that scrap and I discounted the time spent punching the defenders (cause punching is fun), and it took 2 minutes, 22 seconds to finish and get back to my car parked IMMEDIATELY outside the balloon area. weeee.

Yeah, the balloon fast travel thing is pants on head retarded and completely kills the pacing.
I would rather climb a tower.

Also, it really is hilarious how useless the jump button is since you can't climb gently caress all and the jump height is barely a hop.

You can easily tweak the preset settings in the "SweetFX" folder. Messing with the numbers for Cineon DPX should help you not burn your retinas. The best thing about SweetFX is that the changes happen in real time, as soon as you save them, so you don't have to keep closing the game.

Yeah, eh, thanks for the info but I'll pass on using it.
