I need to try this game. I saw it when it originally came out and thought it looked great.

The downside of this game is that every encounter up until you get the bow is "Intimidate guy until you can kick him off cliff, stab his stupid friend".

And there might also be some unfortunate truth to the PC requirements if running at the highest of ultra setting melts even the dev's pc.

Yeah with the combat system i'm fairly sure that i'm going to be able to walk through every single camp. To much shadow of mordor.

though part of me is afraid I'll get to that "uber god" point like in Mordor where everything was way, way too easy.

If you're good at the combat, its pretty much way way to easy from the get go anyway, as "spam melee, counter every now and again" is supplemented by "shoot guy you can't dodge".

The car combat actually seems hard vs some enemies (i'm pretty pissed that there was no reward for (chumbucket base) killing everyone who was attacking chumbuckets base as that took me ages and I had to drive off and repair a few times.

Not yet. The upgrades are just clip size and reload speed, but I've never felt I needed that. I'll likely leave it until last, if I ever do it at all.

I have a habit of setting up on convoy routes and sniping out the wheels of half the convoy before they get to me, its very good for that. I noticed one of the convoy routes actually had red barrels hanging from a highway (its at the top of jeets area) which I didn't have the good sense to use because I was busy sniping.

That'd suck, plenty of people in this thread are so good at pressing x + y that i'd just be a neverending fistfight in a moshpit of wrecked/crashed cars.

I mean, it sounds awesome when you put it like that, but imagine doing it until you got bored and had to just let them kill you.

E: Assuming you can get out anyway, I find the enemies are pretty good at wearing down your car if they're actually armored.

Here's hoping they add something in. The one thing missing from these SOM/Mad Max style games is the enemies/allies never seem to actively do anything. gently caress, Jeet was talking about trading/convoys, he should actually send the things out. You should be able to see them. Buzzards should fight roadsters/scrotus and vice versa. Scrotus should actually siege a place once in a while or replace convoys (if only because they're so fun).

Story thing (pink eye)
Yes, I know that gets attacked, I mean every now and again when you roll up to a place let the catapults be there, have those fuel tanks on the catapults unarmored for outside the story events so they'll be fun to blow up without being a massive chore

Call me crazy but I would kind of like to see a few more guns in the wastes (like in the movies). I don't want to turn the game into a third person shooter, but instead something like Condemned: Heavy emphasis on fists and blunt objects, with the occasional scrap submachinegun wildcard or zip gun that can abruptly change the way you approach a group of enemies.

Maybe not a submachine gun, but i'd love a handheld flamethrower or something. Treat it like a normal melee weapon we already have in.

Also let me use a flare to shoot people in the face and burn them to death or something.

I didn't notice them add weight at all. They literally seem like "this is the best upgrade".

Why do people keep spouting this exact phrase as though it means people shouldn't analyze something or voice their displeasure with how something is portrayed? It's a game, so the gently caress what? Christ. One of Fury Road's high points was its presence and portrayal of women, FORGIVE PEOPLE for hoping the same thing out of the new game from the same franchise. Jesus tits.

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.

Archangels feel like they were meant to be something more than just preset configurations but like everything else they stripped it. I'd have been cool with complete sets having a bonus effect at the very least.

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'm completely with you to be honest. The setting is just that, a setting. It didn't need max to be in it at all (i would have preferred if they just made references to max throughout that game) and that's why in my head, i'm not actually max. I'm murderhobo of murdery murder.

Griffa really does seem like a tryhard as well, but maybe that's because I think the whole desert shaman thing is boring as hell.

Reading the quotes from the review directly above your point really makes me think otherwise. Do reviewers not get fun or something? I have never gone "oh no, a storm, i'm going to have to stop fighting this base". I have however, gone "gently caress yes, a storm, time to punch people while the apocalypse is actively trying to kill me".
