Mad Max Game

To me, it's pretty much Just Cause 2 with the grapple swapped for Batman's combat and upgrade system.

Appears I am stuck, Smoke Rises mission, with stank gum and pink eye, no idea how to progress the mission, just puts me in the strong hold with nothing to do, cant fast travel anymore either.....

Really enjoyed this game for a while first 2 zones down to 0 threat (3 If you count chums) but then started to get bored of the same thing over and over and ended up smashing my way thru the rest of the game.

Also found once i got the v8 nothing really Changed, was expecting something More but on a plus the game looks and runs fantastic and how a game should be released. 99% usage on both cards maxed out at 4k and never dropped below 100fps.

Amazing looking game and was great fun. Got a little boring as others have said near the end as things become abit repetitive and I decided just to finish the main story.
It was great fun while it lasted though and enjoyed it much more than MGS V which I bought at the same time. It was just good open world fun.

Yeah played 25 hours now and getting a bit tiresome but will finish the main story at least.

Ive put in about 25 hours and no where near completing yet. Im going to leave this alone for a few days now and then come back and continue later this week.

gah, abandoned the mission and started again, same problem. No way starting over, guess I am done for now, cant progress.

I really think they missed a trick not having a big rig mission like the ending of Mad Max 2.

Just clearing out the minefields in Jeet's zones atm, then it'll be zero threat in his territories and his base is maxed out. So far it seems a bit easy and the missions are a bit samey, keep having to dip in and out to avoid getting bored. Runs rather well on an i3-4150 with a 750Ti with most stuff on high.

Still playing, not yet progressed to the V8 even after 26hrs in. Here's a small clip of a fight during a storm

Game still borked for me. Cant finish the smoke rises mission, cant fast travel, cant get back into pink eye's place.

Might start over.....

If you can't fast travel, do something to change the icons on the map (like collect up some scrap from a location) and it should return. Worked for me.

Finished this yesterday. Enjoyable game for the money and ran beautifully at 1440p on my 970.

Only bug I had was the sound effects muting and changing occasionally? Found the gas town race mission pretty annoying too

Nexus18 · 26 Sep 2015 at 17:07

Game is so damn repetitive.....

But a bit of fun for a quick blast every now and then and it performs amazing and looks really good too with everything on max settings.

Regarding graphics, are there any settings I should turn off to make the game look better? (motion blur and DOF crap is already turned off)

Nah, its a bug related to the mission Smoke Rises, few people on the steam forums also stuck. I will start the game over when I can be bothered.

I've turned the heat waves off. Gives you a lot more depth.

Same. They look cool, but the game looks so much better for having them off.

Still loving this game. Been mostly doing the missions now as I got a little tired of the grindy stuff and there a lot of fun. Just did the Underdune Mission...

Such a unique experience going through the airport underground in your Opus with the atmosphere down there. Cant think of any other game iv had an experience like that in a vehicle

I really don't understand how a game like Shadow of Mordor got great critic reviews yet this got average when there very similar except the world in Mad Max is huge and you have a car to blast around in. I got bored with Mordor after the first map but I'm having more fun in the world of Mad Max than I am with any of the recent open world games. Its pretty much as good as I could imagine a good Mad Max game to be.

Can anyone answer this? In spoiler tags as it refers to missions towards the end of the game

after the mission where you rescue glory can you return to the area as I've missed some scrap and its one of two areas I need to finish and I'll have collected it l

Edit: also missing relic 51 and after googling where it is I've already collected it...
