Mad Max Game

Only played it quickly but first impressions are good, runs nice and smooth on max settings, downsampled at 3200x1800. Gameplay feels solid, the combat is slick and responsive and vehicles drive well, their physics feels good.

As for the little things Ive found:

* No Handbrake in vehicle? :(
* You can bail out of the vehicle at speed and rag doll which is nice :)
* If you drive off a cliff you dont blow up, it just fades out :(
* You cannot seem to roll vehicles, they always finish upright :(
* Photo mode is nice :) (Lots of dead end thrills incoming)
* You cannot run and gun? :( (But maybe Im not far enough in yet)
* Graphics are nice :)
* Lots of graphics settings to change :)
* Lots of particle effects, dust and debris etc :)
* Trying to force no HUD in the config file dosent work so far and no ingame option :(
* Intro movies unskippable? :(
* You cannot climb obstacles in the world, only places the game lets you like ladders etc :(
* The game files are packed as .ARC files

No1 best seller on Steam now putting MGSV into 2nd place both are great games I could not resist buying MGSV as well.
 
So far i have managed to play about 9 hours so far of this. I really like it, the graphics are very good and it does somehow manage to capture the atmosphere of mad max.

I have a few annoyances such as no handbrake for the vehicle and the fact that you cannot climb anything unless its a ladder. For £13 it has been a bargain so far, and its one of those rare games where i actually want to pick everything up and do every mission / side mission.
 
A lot of the hype in the lead up suggested this was a PC lead platform game. It patently isn't. Everything from UI to texture resolution and simplified geometry screams console port.

I agree... definitely looks like a console game. I don't see the good graphics, but the game looks entertaining. I might try it out for 12 bucks haha

It looks pretty crap tbh. I think it's been in development for a long time and wasn't originally targeted at current gen. consoles. Typically, a huge amount of press footage and screenshots were of the higher texture res and higher poly count (and more sophisticated lighting) cut scenes.

Size of game world (given the supposed immensity of the wastelands) is pretty limited and less than epic in scale.

I wouldn't really recommend the game to anyone. Hopefully it doesn't bode poorly for Just Cause 3.

Not played it yet, but you don't want to bore the hell out of people by taking 20 -60 mins to drive to the next location, so I think this can be forgiven?

Would be interesting to see if there are better quality textures coming like shadow of mordor etc.
 
Its not graphically a powerhouse and you can clearly tell it was developed with console as the lead.

That said it's a lot of fun, very smooth and so far so good.

Although imagine multiplayer on in this game world with hundred of people on it. Building your own camp/fort etc...
 
It looks pretty much excellent for the type of game it is, albeit on my 4K setup. But someone was running it 4K with a 970GTX, he mentioned it on this thread.

It does more than enough to draw you into the crazy world of Mad Max, and that's all you can ask for, the storms are brilliant too.
 
Getting frequent madmax.exe has stopped working crashes here under windows 10 and watercooled 7990's. When it's running though its 100+ fps on max settings. Anyone else crashing at all?

I uninstalled Windows 10 as after I upgraded my PC I was getting freezes all over the place. I'll wait 6 months as I love the xbox one console interaction, and its general feel when it works.

I wonder if it is free in a years time if you do a reinstall? Anyone know?
