girth brooks part 2 posted:It's okay. I do enjoy the base mechanics and combat, but I hate hate hate the writing and the missions are kind of lame. It's hard to recommend, but there is a fun game in there, as long you can look past it's flaws. The devs have been doing alot of work to make the game mod friendly (cars/weapons/scenarios) along with fixing the more bullshit scenarios so the game has been getting alot better since release. I liked it, its a great game to kill time on a POS work computer but if you have any doubts def wait for a sale.

So gametrailers put up a "Just Played" video of a dude that played Mad Max during E3 Judges Week. Starts off off saying the game is not as good as the movie (really what is?) but still fun. Some random notes from the video: -The little goblin dude on the back of your car is called Scumbucket - He is your mechanic and will repair your car if the player is ideal in the desert/goes on mission - Yells at you what parts of the car take damage from combat/off roading. - Sniper rifle that is only in the car if you park the car - Scumbucket controls the harpoon and can target various parts of cars Sounds really fun so far. Video here: http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/rk4e9h/mad-max-mad-max-at-e3-2015

TerminalBlue posted:I... wow. This is actually sounding promising going by that guy's experiences. What makes me think that the guy might not be full of poo poo is that he freely admits Mad Max is not the best game he's seen at E3....but still really fun to play that he wants more of it.

Dapper_Swindler posted:I am guessing it will be like shadow of mordor. pretty good gameplay features but meh/ok story. and people will get mad that furiosa isnt in it or something. might be a sleeper hit or a dud. Still really considering giving it the $35 pre-order chance off of GMG. Last game I took the cheap pre-order risk for was Dying Light and that sucker turned out to be amazing.

Inzombiac posted:Since this is coming out sooner than I had anticipated, I've decided not to watch any videos. Avalanche is a drat good dev team and this plus JC3 will max me out of sandbox insanity. Too bad, cause latest interactive Mad Max Interactive Trailer really make the games look fun. The car combat looks a bit easy (I'm hoping they are just trying to show off the player the ultimate badass) but the action during the Sand/Electric storm looks almost right out of the movie.

Skip to the 20 min mark on the gamespot version to see the car customization options and then have them drive through a electrical storm. A nice tidbit the dev dropped is that the outskits/storm area is 100% randomly generated that will keep going until the player turns back or runs out of fuel and dies. I wonder if SweetFx will be able to make the game look more like the movie?

Ofaloaf posted:Oh, good call. That's the best way to avoid sperging out about chronologies. This would be the WORST series to sperg out about chronologies. The first movie happened......and then it a mess if the others are just "This badass dude showed and saved our society while not meaning too" as a story told through the generations or if they are connected, flow, etc. Its cool the game is kind of following that trend as well. I think the only connection to the movies is that the main bad guy is one of Immortal Joe sons.

Godmachine posted:Any experience ordering from GreenManGaming and using the key on Steam? They're selling Mad Max for 40% off which seems too good to be true. I normally wouldn't care and just pay the Steam price but, despite looking amazing, I'm hesitant to shell out $60 for what could be a buggy port. Yeah, I've used them multiple times. They send you a key like a day or so before the game goes live and you just add it to Steam. Bewared through, if you are really worried about the game you won't be able to get a steam refund by using GMG.

BobbyBaudoin posted:Some of my friends are getting worried since its getting discounted so often. Decided to take the plunge because 50% off for that game sounds like a good deal to me. I think its a double whammy of loving up the Batman game AND coming out at the same time as Metal Gear. If they sell enough pre-purchase and full trust the quality of the game then offering it at 50% off can work out since enough people will take a risk, having a good time, and word of mouth/positive reviews/streams can produce a slow burn of sales. God knows gamers can't control there wallets when a hot new thing comes out that every one is raving about.

Dapper_Swindler posted:its polygon so there score is rarely worth any merit. its where all the hacks and wannabe muckrakers of the games industry go to die. half of polygons review was "wahhh its not fury road and wahh furiosa isnt in it i am being triggered" the other half was bitching about the repetitiveness. maybe i will feel different when i am 20 hours in, but i still play the poo poo outa mordor so i doubt it. Its like the parody of polygon is exactly what is going to happen each and every time. Christ that is bad and people even saw that poo poo coming a mile away.

Tunahead posted:Open world fatigue. If I'd played every Assassin's Creed since Brotherhood for a living, I'd probably be sick of the whole genre too. But luckily I haven't, and therefore Mad Max is loving awesome! This is also a game where you HAVE to love the idea of boucing around in the wasteland driving/customizing your car. If any potential player doesn't then there not going to have a good time. I do, so I'm enjoying the hell out of this game.

There does seem to be alot of gas around so it really shouldn't come up that much unless the player is riding out into the wasterland storm/purposely runs out of gas.

Joe Gillian posted:I made a Fury Road SweetFX+Reshade preset. Doing the lords work here. Thanks for also uploading it to the SweetFX Database. I'm really loving how much thought was put into random scrap camps, especially any that take place either hidden in the bowls of a ship/secret hideaway in the middle of the sands. Really feels like people are out there really trying to make a god of it. Any one else like picking up the historical artifacts? Turns out there was a massive thawing of the polar ice caps that flooded the region with water before it all receded and produced the area we now play in.

deep impact on vhs posted:i dunno it just feels difficult, i keep spinning out while people are chasing me Like Crappy Jack said upgrade your handling but also look at what else you've upgraded on your car. There are trade off between adding more armor/rams that can negative affect your cars top speed/handing/etc so its not a straight forward "the next one is always better".

Because that just happened It also could have been a BoomBuggy, and yeah, those guys explode at the drop of a hat. If you have the chance to choose one of them for a death race don't do it!

WebDog posted:I also get the feeling going back through the older dev interviews that much of the more survivalist elements of the gameplay did get toned down or made more convenient, such as having the garage be accessible at all times vs having players drive to one. Along with other conveniences like having Chum fix the car on the spot and setting up the outpost to give you automatic refills. I hope the game sales enough that we can get this as a extra "new game+/survival" mode.

Actual care and thought went into a bunch of scrap site to make them feel like a group of people where making a go it. So far I've found the sand buried/hidden in the shells of ships the most interesting.

Panfilo posted:Pinkeye is trying to get the younger members of her tribe away on a wind powered sandboat. She seems to understand the violence is never going to go away; she'd rather risk her people dying trying to find their own green place. In a way she reminds me a little of Furiosa in that sense. Deep Friah is allowed because he make the followers of the flame more docile and willing to work at Gastown without speaking/acting up. Getting killed/maimed/burned from fire is now a religious experience instead of something to avoid and start a uprising over.

MinibarMatchman posted: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 I'm really hoping there will be another one since the engine is already complete(with some updates to improve fighting, more car combat stuff, etc) so the majority of technical work is already done. At least some more DLC like missions packs/new strongholds/factions/etc. Has any one heard any word on what future DLC's might be?

The Mad Max review on gametrailers is one of the most fair reviews I've seen so far: http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/lkjz0f/mad-max-review If your not burned out on dicking around in open world games then this one is amazing. Ofaloaf is right, the developers put so much care and thought into the game/locations/people that makes it better then the sum of its parts. I just love going around and just look explore all the different scrap sites (especially with any historical junk) because each and every one has a different story to tell.

Forget exactly which one, but if you've been there, you probably know the one I'm referring too The two story house completely buried in sand with a lone dead buzzard on the bed in the master bedroom I had some screen shots of that place (and then lost them) because it was one of the best examples that the scrap location are not just random busy work but little vignette of people trying to survive in the wasteland. On fridge in the kitchen there where a bunch of magnet letters and at just the right height of a child was the message "I miss my friends".

And random rear end plagues/diseases as well. If it could go wrong it happened.
