The reason Max sucks at jumping is that in the first movie he got shot in the knee. That is why he wears a knee brace and limps when he falls a bit too far.
My dad bought my an Xbox 1 X for Xmas with Fallout4 and it actually came with a digital download for Fallout3 and believe it or not I play F3 instead but I can't wait to buy a hard drive so I can play F4
One thing I like is how they were going to originally go with an American voice actor, but after listening to the fans wisely decided that Max has and should always have an Australian accent.
It's like this guy reached into my brain and figured out everything I wanted to know about this game and said it so I can make an informed buying decision.
+joyusdivisionus I really hate reviewers that right off a game because it has similar mechanics to other games, GS says this game is a copy of batman series in terms of gameplay, (which it isn't and only combat is barely similar), yet it always gives a 9/10 for all COD games even though all of them tend to be the same exact game each year lol........

+AngryCentaurGaming No! You don't get to sleep before you review Metal Gear :-) Seriously - you do an awesome job, impressive insight and nuanced points of views! Love it...
You just made this game a buy. You mentioned the fact that while the melee combat is similar to the Batman games, the "Ice glider" effect doesn't work and thats great news to me. I've never been a fan of that quirk. It makes the combat too easy. Its already pretty strait forward. Great review as usual, I now trust your opinion on games more than anyone else. You give fair reviews that gets to the point. I
+TheDalinkwent its still a little bit shallow, in terms of melee combat if you compared it to Shadow of Mordor, and batman, its a little harder than Batman though, and the Melee combat upgrades are slower to gain compared to other upgrades because they are connected to a ranking system, so you only unlock those skills as you rank up.......its still a good game, but I wouldn't get it at full price if you are getting it purely based on melee combat complexity..........
Kul Zaze My main reason for buying was the openword/Sandbox aspects, mythos and car combat which seems to be the most praised aspect of the game, even less than favorable reviews admitted the car combat is a refreshing mechanic, but the melee combat was kind of the tiebreaker because many games are hit or miss on melee combat if its not the primary mechanic. I know it won't be as deep or complex as Batman or Mordor, but its a nice bonus.
+TheDalinkwent The hand-to-hand combat in Mad Max is a childs play, nothing challenging or creative requiered to plow down hordes of enemies. I don't know how many times I wanted to grab someone and throw him off the cliffs or into some spikes or whatever... not gonna happen. Maybie set traps, electrify or whatever. All enemies are literally the same and require banana skills to take down.
"If you liked it thumbs up, if you did not thumbs down." I love that... I don't think I've ever heard it on another youtube video. They usually just ask for a like regardless.
Yea I don't always agree with ACG but I do like his reviews because they are detailed on a technical and personal standpoint and I respect that in a reviewer. He states what he likes and doesn't like and gives his reasons for us to see and to form our opinions. So even when I disagree I can't ever give a thumbs down to well done reviews.
+cpthemonstergamer couldn't agree more, always come here to get the in depth scoop! Hope you're ready for the busy season! :D don't envy your job in the next few months +AngryCentaurGaming
DAMN MAN! I have seen your other reviews as well, but DAMN! this one shows that how much efforts you put in your reviews. Your hard work is reflected here. Keep it up man
+ThisIsDex GT Review was pretty good. I don't pay attention to GT Review scores but they are very thorough with the pros and cons of the game, so in the end you feel like you are making the decision to buy or leave the game based on their information rather than their subjective opinion.
Sylvex Dragonskin Everyone and their mother have played Skyrim, and no considering the game is ancient and you can get the same experience and better on PC is a total ripoff, but Bethesda fanboys will gladly give their money to the company their worship, good job Bethesda, you've done it again, seeing that mad Max is so cheap now comparing to that, is just sad, in fact I just went to PSN store and checked, some of the worst games are more expensive than this masterpiece
+Russian Bear That is indeed how the world goes. It wasn't popular enough and most people are the opposite of smart so we'll always have that problem. Have a good life! ;)
I've had some great memories playing this game from completely random events to a perfectly timed (gaming's best) shotgun shot, from intense electrical sand storms to just driving my Opus over the dunes just listening to that v8 purr...fantastic game.
Just got it on ps4 for 15$ and so far after about 6 hours its really fun! I got MGS5 before this and I think im enjoying this game a bit more than that.
Hey man I just wanted to say over the past few months I've really started gravitating towards your channel as my main source of reviews for big games. Love the format, the depth in to which you get in to the games, and the energy you put towards each video. You're doing a way better job than some of the other major publications, wish you lots of success, just keep it up man!
Madmax reminds me if Shadows of Mordor. It was also supricingly good and really fun to play. Will put it on my list for later, because MGS is taking over my life.
You actually have the best reviews on RUclips, love the detail and jokes, very entertaining. P.S totally agree with sound being a big part of games, that's a big reason why I love Ori and the Blind Forest.
I really enjoy your reviews. Longer, more descriptive reviews are obviously more informative and yours tell the truth with minimal to no bias. Just the best.
I remember reading/watching a few reviews before I bought the game, and how people were saying basically "it's mediocre", but I decided to give a try and buy it anyway. And so glad I did. It definitely has a charm, a bit of soul, and actually engaging gameplay, unlike so many other games based movie series/universes. On the negative side, I do wish that it had more challenge to offer, though. It seems like once you get past the clunky controls, and get used to all activities, it's really easy to breeze through it, and very few things give you trouble. Especially once Max, his skills, car and everything are upgraded. At any rate, this was a really nice and actually in-depth review. Subscribed.
Anybody know what else needs to be done in order to open Gutgash's hideout? I have completed all of Jeet's area except for the death races just can't figure out what else needs to be triggered....
+Marco AFI That's happened many times, where critics will in the eyes of the general audience short-change a game. There is often a gulf between players and critics.
wow! that's one great review, i especially like how you're talking in-depth about things like sound, atmospheric details and much more, where others do reviews like "graphics, gameplay, story - done"
personally loving this game right now haven't even opened my phatom pain yet lol great review as always brother I been letting mad people know bout this channel
Jesus christ you are something special. Here i was, about 7 hours ago just scrolling around youtube looking for my daily dose of silly stuff when i stumbled onto your videos. Fast forward those seven hours and you have rejuvenated my motivation to play some long-installed but forgotten games and loving every syllable you utter for the beautifully constructed stories you tell. Subscribed, whitelisted on ABP and looking forward to more video's.
Dude your reviews are so professionally done. The best is your thorough knowledge of the game which allows for your excellent narration to inform your viewers perfectly. Well done. Thumbs up and a HUGE subscribe.
This review was the tipping point that pushed me over to the buy side and I do not regret it in the least. The gameplay loop is strong with this one but boy is it ever fun. From here on out, I'll be coming to you guys for a fair, unbullshitty review!
I started playing this at 9m, next day at noon I was still playing! So long since a game has grabbed my attention so fast and well. Worth every penny, imho
Very underrated game. I appreciate how you really break down the honest to god merits and faults from the perspective of us gamers. Sometimes it feels like all the big reviewers are taking their notes from the same source. They try to be flowery and use comparisons to other games rather than just flat out say what's fun about that particular game. You better keep it up, cuz you're now my go to reviewer, haha.
Ok i'm subscribing to this channel. I really enjoy the way you guys explain the things in reviews. Seen both MGS5 and this review and i will definitely keep checking for new ones from now on. Two thumbs up! As for this game, i saw a lot of kind of negative reviews and it slightly got me doubtful about this game, but now after this review and seeing the footage i really want to check it out for damn sure.
This is the only accurate review I've seen so far. Your reviews are the only ones I can take seriously these days. Don't get me wrong I'll watch everyone's else's reviews but yours seem to be the only honest realistic ones. Keep up the good work bro and I'll keep trying to spread the word as best as I can.
Yeah I was just thinking of that.I would like to do my 2nd playthrough with no griffa upgrades though, 'cause It break the immersion from some of the things that you can unlock*I don't even need to scavene for fuel anymore,It's sad :(*.I don't know If there's an harder difficulty too,I guess so.
12:48 Love how you addressed(...and how MM does them) these now very cliche and anoying chore like features games keep trying to support themselves with now adays. Calling it "depth" and "realism" like either of those should mean something to someone whos spending time in a digital realm and not feeding there 10 month old tiger kittens in reality. Things that improve the game are great but so many games now adays use chores to drag down a game making more like a sagging over taxed bag trying desperately to contain water and less like a deep and meaningful adventure thats both fun and/or challenging.
I agree. It's a buy and if it wasn't for Fallout 4 coming out, this could probably be my GOTY and I haven't finished it. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot of fun with tons of things to/replay value.
mgs:pp is worlds better than this. Unless you dont like stealth games. But the steakth gameplay in mgs is so good that it just leads to the most epic missions. I lije mad max i just dont think its worthy of goty in a year with mgs, witcher, and fall out. I can see fallout being even better than mgs,, potentially, because it seems like there will be an unprecedented amount of interesting things to do in its open world. Witcher gets credit for its beautiful and varied open world with great dialogue but diesnt deserve goty thanks to its bugs and clunkiness (menus/geralts movement). Either way best year in gaming imo.
Just subscribed. Love your reviews, especially this one. This game is awesome and it's nice to see a review that understands that this game is what it needs to be. Why some reviewers compare it to MGS5, just because it came out the same day, I'll never understand. Looking forward for future videos!Cheers!
I saw your Walking the Walk that was recently posted and I thought to go check out your review on this game. It's on my list to get next! Very excited about this one, and thanks again for the great review!
I'm just confused as to how this game is so repetitive yet it's still so much fun and awesome at the same time....🤔 still unsure if I should get this game or not...
Im thinking about either buing mgs v or mad max nxt week but i can only pick one cause my pay check nxt week is not enough cause most of my check goes to my baby and wife which do u prefer cause both ar tempting?
HEYNOW ~ Cool Guide : April 27, 2018 and I’m Jumping back into Mad Max ( never finished Game ) I must blame the Witcher III , I’m still surprised how well the Gameplay is with my 2011 HP Compaq Elite 8200 pro sff Pc with i5-2400 Cpu - Evga Sc 16gb Ram - Crucial Mx300 ssd - Msi Gtx 1050 ti 4gb Gpu : played at 1080p / Ultra Graphics settings with frame rate above 60 fps 🎮 once again thanx 4 Posting. 🇵🇹
The story and cut scenes in this game would have made a far better movie than fury road. Fury road had a crappy storyline. But the story and characters in this game are awesome. Plus the game itself is incredible. I think you need to be a mad max fan to really appreciate it though. This is now my all time favourite video game. The game is fucking bad-ass! The car battles in first person view are something special to behold.
+AESCULAPTORmark3 Fury road was pretty much fast paced gritty action movie. The story that it did have, was mainly focused on Furiosa and not Mad Max. I honestly loved the movie as well, it told it's story for what it was but the main thing was the action, music and sets. Which was fucking epic.
+DoozyJr Yeah. I have to say though, max's story and his character were far more interesting to me than Furiosa's I couldn't identify with her, but i could identify with max. And same as many other fans of the original movie i'm a big fan of the vehicles in that first movie. So that is an added attraction. Love max's story and the cars. In my view Furiosa should have had this new movie all to her self.
Oooh, I just started playing this yesterday (already put in 6+ hours in my first sitting - late night/early morning session). I totally forgot about the ability to drive in first person. I remember seeing it in the control scheme when I first booted it up. Cheers for the reminder! :-D
ACG Your vocabulary in this video made it very enjoyable for me as a viewer. You are an excellent game reviewer. I applaud your devotion to quality videos.. Game on ACG.. GAME ON..
I just picked Mad Max and Battlefront for the price of one and I have to say I'm enjoying Mad Max more. And as a massive Star Wars fan, that surprises me. Despite living in Australia I've never see a Mad Max movie, but thanks to this game I'm going to track down the new Tom Hardy one. I watched this review when it came out and I have to say you are spot on.
Great review, I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I'm 16 hours in and I never want to put the game down. The fact of the matter is that this isn't a "GOTY" candidate, but it has that one magical element that we look for in every game...FUN. No matter what I'm doing I'm always enjoying it. Another thing I can't be more happy with is how flawlessly it runs on my PC. I was so skeptical after I bought Arkham Knight and went through that whole fiasco (Thanks WB), but this game is so insanely optimized. It looks and runs beautifully at max settings. The one big gripe I have is, why oh why do they make me destroy the fuel and oil supplies of the camps I'm taking over if that resource is what drives the entire existence of the game? It's all about surviving and always having the resources necessary to do so, so why would I destroy the oil pumps and oil/gas reservoirs in the camps if I am trying to take them over? That to me seems like the most illogical thing about the game and I am trying really hard to overlook it, enjoying the other aspects of the story. I'm just thinking that if I was Max that I would keep all that stuff for myself as it's essentially my wealth, means of survival, and the source of power/standing in the wasteland. Other than that minor issue, I am really having a blast in this game so far.
i have been enjoying the game a lot. Ive been thinking that this game does not deserve the review wcores of 6/7's that its been getting. For me its a more fun open world experience than say, Mordor or far cry 4. It may even have better gameplay than batman as the combat and driving just feels more satisfying. and the upgrade loop is very well done with most upgrades actually changing gameplay.
+Kevin Jimenez really ? i enjoyed fc3 but was dissapointed with fc4. The open world was decent but suffered from the usual ubisoft openworld issues where once youve done one of the diff. types of sidequest youve done them all. For example all hunting sidequests are the same basic things. All defending outposts, or stopping a convoy, defending outposts are the same. It was pollished and systems are well fone but gets formulaiic. AC:unity was even worse. At least far cry3 had interesting story characters.
Max's low jump is actually a bit of Gameplay and Story Integration. One thing that stays constant throughout the franchise is that he has an injured leg which is why you can't jump very high and he limps if you fall from a certain distance.
My one gripe with the upgrade system, and this will probably sound stupid as all hell, is that you can skip a middle upgrade. The border defense upgrade, the spikes, I skipped the middle one and went straight to the last one. I personally don't like this because it makes it feel like if I just wait and can save my scrap and skip all the middle ground.
More like the most overrated movie of all time. Which saddens me, because Brendan McCarthy worked on the movie and I loved his work on the 2000AD comics, and for me to say something negative about one of his works greatly disappoints me. I actually didn't like any Mad Max movies, I found them all to be boring, but Fury Road aesthetically looked better than the original three movies, the colours popped off the screen, the character designs were on point, but I just did not like that movie.
The only thing I'm concerned with is the story. I want a strong story and characters I care about. If there's no emotional context as to why I'm driving around and getting into fights, then the action is meaningless.
Excellent review, helped me decide to finally buy this game during a Steam sale. Great work, great detail, great content, and great voice. All my thumbs have gone up for you.
I understand why some people love this game but I personally found the standard "gameplay loop" of going to a spot on your map to look for salvage really boring and repetitive after about 10 hours. The car combat and driving are amazing but I found the on-foot portions of the game to be more bland then a raisin bran muffin.
Polygon gave this game a 5. They are such a pathetic SJW PC site. They complained about damsels in distress. God I am so sick of these people. I have mad max and if you like batman or the shadow of mordor games you will probably like this. Great review BTW Karak
will definitely be buying this for my xbox one. love the mad max films and the thought of being able to drive around in numerous max type vehicles in a big open world map is great.
The reason Max sucks at jumping is that in the first movie he got shot in the knee. That is why he wears a knee brace and limps when he falls a bit too far.
Should've put that detail in the game tho
This game is one of the most underrated gems out there it is an absolute blast to play
this game is so underrated, I bought it along with fallout 4, and believe it or not, I didn't bother to finish fallout. but I finished mad max twice.
My dad bought my an Xbox 1 X for Xmas with Fallout4 and it actually came with a digital download for Fallout3 and believe it or not I play F3 instead but I can't wait to buy a hard drive so I can play F4
One thing I like is how they were going to originally go with an American voice actor, but after listening to the fans wisely decided that Max has and should always have an Australian accent.

Yeah they act as if the combat system is a stolen copy and ignore that this, mordor, and batman were all published by WB
+slicknslim88 gamespot is garbage.
4 hours into PC version and I totally agree with this review. A ton of fun to play and very well optimized on PC right out of the gate.

Riddick and Alien Isolation are also really good. This generation was weird that way.
One of the most underrated games in the past few years. Loved it all the way through. Just enough to do after the campaign aswell.

I wish I'd bought this rather than the newest Metal Gear game. That's the last time I'm listening to any of the "big" gaming website recommendations.

Really? I heard mgs was awes....oh right
I love the hand to hand combat, I think I like it even more than in the Arkham games!

I started playing this at 9m, next day at noon I was still playing! So long since a game has grabbed my attention so fast and well. Worth every penny, imho
Very underrated game. I appreciate how you really break down the honest to god merits and faults from the perspective of us gamers. Sometimes it feels like all the big reviewers are taking their notes from the same source. They try to be flowery and use comparisons to other games rather than just flat out say what's fun about that particular game. You better keep it up, cuz you're now my go to reviewer, haha.
Ok i'm subscribing to this channel. I really enjoy the way you guys explain the things in reviews. Seen both MGS5 and this review and i will definitely keep checking for new ones from now on. Two thumbs up! As for this game, i saw a lot of kind of negative reviews and it slightly got me doubtful about this game, but now after this review and seeing the footage i really want to check it out for damn sure.
+Thijs van Abs Appreciate that Abs! Thanks so much man
Subscribed! This was a nice authentic review. I didn't expect the sound breakdown -The explosions in this game are top notch and pretty to look at
+Soldiershak Thanks Soldiershak glad you liked it
i just wish the ending was different but it was an amazing 107 hours to full completion :)
This is the only accurate review I've seen so far. Your reviews are the only ones I can take seriously these days. Don't get me wrong I'll watch everyone's else's reviews but yours seem to be the only honest realistic ones. Keep up the good work bro and I'll keep trying to spread the word as best as I can.
Absolutely loved this game! I spent way too much time in this world trying to pass every mission. Seriously good and incredibly underrated.
agreed man
I watch one of your videos after a short hiatus and your sub count has almost tripled. Keep up the great work!
I love this game. I just broke it out for another play through last weekend. Great review btw.
Yeah I was just thinking of that.I would like to do my 2nd playthrough with no griffa upgrades though, 'cause It break the immersion from some of the things that you can unlock*I don't even need to scavene for fuel anymore,It's sad :(*.I don't know If there's an harder difficulty too,I guess so.
PS Plus free game for April 2018
Great honest reviews that's why i subscribe.
+BloodCroft Thanks Blood
+BloodCroft whats poppin blood
now thats how u review a game. mad max most underrated game ever
appreciate that man
12:48 Love how you addressed(...and how MM does them) these now very cliche and anoying chore like features games keep trying to support themselves with now adays. Calling it "depth" and "realism" like either of those should mean something to someone whos spending time in a digital realm and not feeding there 10 month old tiger kittens in reality.
Things that improve the game are great but so many games now adays use chores to drag down a game making more like a sagging over taxed bag trying desperately to contain water and less like a deep and meaningful adventure thats both fun and/or challenging.
+Grammar Jew thanks GJ appreciate it
The world looks amazing. It's not generic, it's a bloody desert. And it feels grindy and sandy. Really well done.
+Laurentius Majestein Agreed
"A Movie about Charlize Theron and her sidekick Max" xD
I agree. It's a buy and if it wasn't for Fallout 4 coming out, this could probably be my GOTY and I haven't finished it. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot of fun with tons of things to/replay value.
I totally agree with you
+failedtolisten can't give goty till it's released.
mgs:pp is worlds better than this. Unless you dont like stealth games. But the steakth gameplay in mgs is so good that it just leads to the most epic missions. I lije mad max i just dont think its worthy of goty in a year with mgs, witcher, and fall out. I can see fallout being even better than mgs,, potentially, because it seems like there will be an unprecedented amount of interesting things to do in its open world. Witcher gets credit for its beautiful and varied open world with great dialogue but diesnt deserve goty thanks to its bugs and clunkiness (menus/geralts movement). Either way best year in gaming imo.
+failedtolisten Witcher 3/MGSV/Fallout 4 are going to be the only possible GOTY's for 2015.
***** well fallout has not been released yet & u never know.
Hey Karak, game pass trial has this so naturaly I pull up ACG to see if its playable. Can not wait to begin 😃
I fvcking love your reviews! Sadly I never heard of this game when it first came out and now I’m thinking about buying this hidden gem
Just subscribed. Love your reviews, especially this one. This game is awesome and it's nice to see a review that understands that this game is what it needs to be. Why some reviewers compare it to MGS5, just because it came out the same day, I'll never understand.
Looking forward for future videos!Cheers!
+Edmond Jensen Dietz Thanks so much Edmond
+Edmond Jensen Dietz hello edmund didnt know they have youtube in narnia
I saw your Walking the Walk that was recently posted and I thought to go check out your review on this game. It's on my list to get next! Very excited about this one, and thanks again for the great review!
I'm just confused as to how this game is so repetitive yet it's still so much fun and awesome at the same time....🤔 still unsure if I should get this game or not...
Im thinking about either buing mgs v or mad max nxt week but i can only pick one cause my pay check nxt week is not enough cause most of my check goes to my baby and wife which do u prefer cause both ar tempting?
Mad max, trust me it's a lot of fun or unless you want the same serious stealth game MGSV, which is fun as well, but I had more fun with mad max Imo
I prefer MGSV, and it's a lot longer. Mad Max is around 40 hours, and MGSV is 200+ hours.
mad max bro.
Then metal gear 5 it is :)
It was 2 to 2 a tie
One of my favourite games yet so many of my family and friends couldn’t stand 1min playing it.
HEYNOW ~ Cool Guide : April 27, 2018 and I’m Jumping back into Mad Max ( never finished Game ) I must blame the Witcher III , I’m still surprised how well the Gameplay is with my 2011 HP Compaq Elite 8200 pro sff Pc with i5-2400 Cpu - Evga Sc 16gb Ram - Crucial Mx300 ssd - Msi Gtx 1050 ti 4gb Gpu : played at 1080p / Ultra Graphics settings with frame rate above 60 fps 🎮 once again thanx 4 Posting. 🇵🇹
If only they put the same effort into the driving in just cause 3
agreed
very in depth and fantastic dialogue. subbed
+Casters thanks spread the word man
Its a buy in my opinion
Fuck nah
+Patrick Bateman Agreed, had a great time with this game. Well worth the buy, I hope to see more in the future.
@@americangoy5182 Well, the next Mad Max movie will be coming soon, either this year or 2020, so we can hope for another game soon too!
im suprised you didnt talk about the sand storms in the audio section or even gameplay section. those were by far one of my favorite parts!
+Drblink182rox Already discussed in the comments section
The story and cut scenes in this game would have made a far better movie than fury road.
Fury road had a crappy storyline.
But the story and characters in this game are awesome.
Plus the game itself is incredible. I think you need to be a mad max fan to really appreciate it though.
This is now my all time favourite video game.
The game is fucking bad-ass!
The car battles in first person view are something special to behold.
+AESCULAPTORmark3 Fury road was pretty much fast paced gritty action movie. The story that it did have, was mainly focused on Furiosa and not Mad Max. I honestly loved the movie as well, it told it's story for what it was but the main thing was the action, music and sets. Which was fucking epic.
+DoozyJr
Yeah.
I have to say though, max's story and his character were far more interesting to me than Furiosa's
I couldn't identify with her, but i could identify with max.
And same as many other fans of the original movie i'm a big fan of the vehicles in that first movie. So that is an added attraction. Love max's story and the cars.
In my view Furiosa should have had this new movie all to her self.
Oooh, I just started playing this yesterday (already put in 6+ hours in my first sitting - late night/early morning session). I totally forgot about the ability to drive in first person. I remember seeing it in the control scheme when I first booted it up.
Cheers for the reminder! :-D
ACG Your vocabulary in this video made it very enjoyable for me as a viewer. You are an excellent game reviewer. I applaud your devotion to quality videos.. Game on ACG.. GAME ON..
glad you liked it. Good video
Seems like this game is the surprise of the year.
+jairangelmaster agreed
I just picked Mad Max and Battlefront for the price of one and I have to say I'm enjoying Mad Max more. And as a massive Star Wars fan, that surprises me. Despite living in Australia I've never see a Mad Max movie, but thanks to this game I'm going to track down the new Tom Hardy one. I watched this review when it came out and I have to say you are spot on.
Free on Ps Plus next Month!!!
enjoy fun game
Your writing is highly entertaining and your reviews are very helpful. Kudos to you sir.
+ShinkaTV thanks man
Very well thought out & stated, an exceptional review my friend!
+vinniecorleone62 Appreciate that Vinnie
I love the Hell out of the game myself & did an impressions video.
Always trust your reviews the most! Thanks!
One of the most underrated games of this generation.
Great review, I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I'm 16 hours in and I never want to put the game down. The fact of the matter is that this isn't a "GOTY" candidate, but it has that one magical element that we look for in every game...FUN. No matter what I'm doing I'm always enjoying it. Another thing I can't be more happy with is how flawlessly it runs on my PC. I was so skeptical after I bought Arkham Knight and went through that whole fiasco (Thanks WB), but this game is so insanely optimized. It looks and runs beautifully at max settings.
The one big gripe I have is, why oh why do they make me destroy the fuel and oil supplies of the camps I'm taking over if that resource is what drives the entire existence of the game? It's all about surviving and always having the resources necessary to do so, so why would I destroy the oil pumps and oil/gas reservoirs in the camps if I am trying to take them over? That to me seems like the most illogical thing about the game and I am trying really hard to overlook it, enjoying the other aspects of the story. I'm just thinking that if I was Max that I would keep all that stuff for myself as it's essentially my wealth, means of survival, and the source of power/standing in the wasteland. Other than that minor issue, I am really having a blast in this game so far.
+kevlar218 Thanks man and ya your right about destroying oil
The best feeling about the game is that you actually feel like a survivor when you start cheap and upgrade your car and max
This is the first game I ever played... And boy what a game this game made me a gamer will always have a soft spot for this beautiful game.....
i have been enjoying the game a lot. Ive been thinking that this game does not deserve the review wcores of 6/7's that its been getting. For me its a more fun open world experience than say, Mordor or far cry 4. It may even have better gameplay than batman as the combat and driving just feels more satisfying. and the upgrade loop is very well done with most upgrades actually changing gameplay.
Hey now, I love mad max, but far cry 4 open world was just perfect for me
+Kevin Jimenez really ? i enjoyed fc3 but was dissapointed with fc4. The open world was decent but suffered from the usual ubisoft openworld issues where once youve done one of the diff. types of sidequest youve done them all. For example all hunting sidequests are the same basic things. All defending outposts, or stopping a convoy, defending outposts are the same. It was pollished and systems are well fone but gets formulaiic. AC:unity was even worse. At least far cry3 had interesting story characters.
Max's low jump is actually a bit of Gameplay and Story Integration. One thing that stays constant throughout the franchise is that he has an injured leg which is why you can't jump very high and he limps if you fall from a certain distance.
great review I'm gonna purchase now! nice one
+MrRawlz thanks
My one gripe with the upgrade system, and this will probably sound stupid as all hell, is that you can skip a middle upgrade. The border defense upgrade, the spikes, I skipped the middle one and went straight to the last one. I personally don't like this because it makes it feel like if I just wait and can save my scrap and skip all the middle ground.
I got this for $25 and it's a total bargain, it's a real sleeper. Great game.
agreed
true
I got it for 6 euros lol
nice review really helps with the Steam winter sale! earned a sub.
+LeagueLess Thanks brother and enjoy he title
fury road is the best mad max movie.
LORD LEX Fury road was fucking shit.
Fury road is fucking awesome
More like the most overrated movie of all time. Which saddens me, because Brendan McCarthy worked on the movie and I loved his work on the 2000AD comics, and for me to say something negative about one of his works greatly disappoints me. I actually didn't like any Mad Max movies, I found them all to be boring, but Fury Road aesthetically looked better than the original three movies, the colours popped off the screen, the character designs were on point, but I just did not like that movie.
I definitely agree! It truly was the best Mad Max movie out of all of them.
yo nice review & all but u didnt mention the sand storms!
I 100% this game 10/10 I took the time to even get to road warrior
Excellent review as usual man. Definitely gonna pick this up when I get my ps4
+Gage Parfait boom thanks GAGE!
The only thing I'm concerned with is the story. I want a strong story and characters I care about. If there's no emotional context as to why I'm driving around and getting into fights, then the action is meaningless.
There's a story later on about max and these other 2 characters, the story was sad if you were to play it
+Shade Draws I see your point, but personally I have never needed a fancy reason to drive a fuel-injected war machine. It's just cool.
You're the first reviewer i go to now, over ign, gamespot, even Angry Joe. you're on point brotha. thank you
thanks man
This game rocks. Really shocked at how I'm quickly I became addicted and played until 8:30 am
+Kexin Still playing ? Or finished ?
Still playing. I became of obsessed with upgrading my car so I fear I might over leveled the story missions.
+Kexin I think i might have over levelled too, i cant help it the game is great fun.
Excellent review, helped me decide to finally buy this game during a Steam sale. Great work, great detail, great content, and great voice. All my thumbs have gone up for you.
Next ps plus game!
How would you know?
I understand why some people love this game but I personally found the standard "gameplay loop" of going to a spot on your map to look for salvage really boring and repetitive after about 10 hours. The car combat and driving are amazing but I found the on-foot portions of the game to be more bland then a raisin bran muffin.
Polygon gave this game a 5. They are such a pathetic SJW PC site. They complained about damsels in distress. God I am so sick of these people. I have mad max and if you like batman or the shadow of mordor games you will probably like this. Great review BTW Karak
...that doesnt even makesense. Its like they are making stuff up...
Burn it with fire If they played the game, they would know; there are damsels in distress...
will definitely be buying this for my xbox one. love the mad max films and the thought of being able to drive around in numerous max type vehicles in a big open world map is great.
Fury road was a bad movie
I came cause ps plus ....
enjoy Ben. its fun
ACG will do thanks for all the awesome reviews
realy great game. im now into the nad max lore
