Mad Max - The Bear and Badger

Dunno why I don't have this, saw it eight times at the flicks.

I'm gutted I didn't see in 3D in the cinema, especially with the music which was also great. But did see a 1080p stream, bit of a bummer the 3D stream didn't work.

Some amazing stunt and cgi work done

This is Def my January game

It was shit in 3D.

Everything is shit in 3D, except Gravity and real life.

Mad Max was especially bad in 3D as it lost the vibrancy of the colour, one of the big plus points of the film.

bad_hair_day

I saw it in IMAX 3D and the combination of size, sound and brighter image was fucking head popping.

beano

I forced the film on people after going the cinema for it.

I wish I'd watched it at the cinema, both in 3D and normovision. Top film.

And I'll be on this at some point. Driving looks a bit floaty slidy to me but I guess it feels right when you're playing.

beano

Some of the driving reminds me of Burnout mechanics.

There's a 1080p stream on Genesis ( kodi)

PS I can't read, I I thought you said that you had not wished you had

adkm1979

The driving would be closer to FlatOut than anything else, but that was a criminally overlooked series. It's not floaty, but you see/feel the weight of the car leaning over on the suspension. My only beef with it is that I'd've liked a handbrake button.

[Deleted User]

Yeah handbrake would have been nice, there are a lot of buttons to deal with already though. To take corners a bit tighter try using the sideways barge move.

Kow

Didn't think the barge worked outside of combat.

adkm1979

Yeah, there's a hint screen points out (diplomatically) that you can use it to get out of tight corners (which seems to mean 'beached on some scenery').

I've not experienced any bends that really need a handbrake, but it just feels like it would be fun when shitting about in the middle of the desert.

Scored 2k worth of scrap last night enduring Storms to hunt down some Mothaloot . Despite spending it all on upgrades, still think I'll need to trek back to some earlier areas to do some more grind - still haven't found the last minefield in the starter area so I can get me some flame pipes!

adkm1979

So, Yahtzee isn't too keen.

Kow

Well Yahtzee is never keen on anything, that's kind of his shtick.

I'm thinking about picking this up. People I know who have played it all really like it. People who have played this and mgsv don't like it much.
Makes me wonder if they had stuck it out there earlier it would have reviewed better and had more coverage. It seems like a cracking game just to pass the time in.

trippy

Started playing this. It's mighty pretty and pretty solid so far. Max is comedically gruff.

Not sure if the gameplay has clicked with me, but it's well put together and the fighting is solid and brutal. Punchy games aren't really my bag, I couldn't get along with Batman or Sleeping Dogs but the world is more interesting in Mad Max, so it's keeping me involved.

I'm enjoying the driving, especially in first person. I think GTA has spoiled me though, I miss the tunes, the colour and the cup holders. Maybe I'm just not cut out for the post-apocalyptic world.

@revel - I'd say it's well worth the £10 on cdkeys if you have an okay PC. It's definitely an interesting world to spend time in. I've played MGS and though it's mechanically beautiful it's not spoilt this for me. Sometimes you want fish and chips rather than a broccoli and marmalade pancake.

Blocks100

It's the best looking game this gen for me. I just wish there was a bit more substance to it - rather than just collecting 'scrap', it would've been nice to hunt down specific vehicles to harvest specific parts. And rather than just build up other people's bases, maybe make your own from scratch.

Mind you, we'll have Fallout for that, and whilst it would've been nice to have deeper skill trees and more rpg elements there's plenty to admire here. Particularly the way each enemy camp, although made from the same tile set, feels and looks really unique.

adkm1979

I just got back to it last night, after time away with PES and Rainbow Six, and felt a little overwhelmed by how much I still have to do. It was a good feeling, though, like when you're a third of a way through a massive but enjoyable book.

adkm1979

Been doing some tidying up it Gutgash's territory. I've reduced the threat to zero and cleared all but one of the scavenging posts in three of the areas. That just leaves one camp, one sniper, one scarecrow and the convoy in Reek Hills. I hadn't noticed that my next story mission takes me to Gas Town, so once I've completely cleared out Gutgash's territory, I'll hit the story mission before starting the projects in Pink Eye's stronghold.

Got the 'unbreakable' challenge tonight (defeat twelve enemies in a row in meleé combat without taking any damage). Glad to have that one under my belt.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha.....

Clearly, one does not simply drive into Gas Town. That whole area is going to be mental to clear. Fucking hell.

Still, that's me completely cleaned up Gutgash's territory.

Is anyone else still playing?

[Deleted User]

Keep up the updates ADKM!

Love it.

[Deleted User]

I am still playing as in this s the game I play when I play. I just am not playing anything right now.

acemuzzy

Apart from the field, amirite?

[Deleted User]

Dam right

Aaroncupboard

I am still going! At the same story mission as adkm but chosen to clear all of Pink Eye's area first. Done all the camps now and just want to wrap up the odd bits and pieces.

Going to focus on Pink Eye's stronghold now.

Howdy, Stranger!
