MAD MAX |OT| Beyond Thunderpoon
- Thread starter Simo
- Start date
From all of the footage I have seen, I have to agree. Can't wait to fire it up at midnight.
Oh, and thanks for all of your great impressions. Everyone one else who has been posting them as well.

Sure. The only reason this wouldn't be allowed would be due to concerns of piracy if it's known that pirated copies are out in the wild and legit copies aren't. But that's not the case here.
Sweet.
It's just showing a storm in game so no real spoilers but click at your own risk!

Had one of these monster storms pop up while trying to clear out a convoy. Did not end well...at all for me.
I was close to dying in that then! Was surprised when the lightning was hitting my car!

Ho boy this makes me want to buy the game now. Is there any real danger when this storms hit or just it just cut down on visibility? How long do they last? Does it rain?
The lightning can hit your car and you and will damage your car.

Yeah, they are the locked ones.

Will get eventually, probably after a price drop.

Storms can last a very long time. Totally random when they happen too. Honestly it's one of the more impressive environmental things I've seen in an open world game. Seeing these things roll in from the horizon is pretty awesome. Storms are a risk vs reward though. You can find huge amounts of scrap metal in the storm at the risk of getting blasted by lightning or flying debris.
Well i liked SoM and i'm enjoying the game... so yes? maybe
Not a huge Mad Max fan though ...only seen fury road

The team behind JC2 is making Mad Max, while a new team in New York is heading up development on JC3. Plus Mad Max has been in development for at least 4 years, so I wouldn't be concerned about the quality of the game. So yes, I would absolutely say you would like this game, as I too greatly enjoyed SoM.
Those storms look incredible. Can't wait to jump in.

Despite being a huge Mad Max fan, I'm firmly rooted on the fence for this... on the one hand THOSE FUCKIN' STORMS YO but in the other, MGSV... I really don't know what to do!

I'd say if you're on the fence, go for MGS V and wait to read reviews/impressions on Mad Max. It looks awesome, but if you know you want MGS V best to go with that and wait and see with Mad Max.
I'm starting to lean toward picking up both tomorrow.

I love Mad Max, but I'm waiting until October. MGS V and FIFA is out this month.

Okay, I've played the first hour.
Quick impressions ( on Xbox One ):
- Graphics are amazing
- No performance issues so far
- Combat is fun, not as fluid as the Batman games but more brutal
- Car combat is great, explosions look nice
- Story? No idea. The beginning is slow, but I kinda like that.

Don't care if the game turns out to be a steaming pile of turd (actually no I do, just being hyperbolic), the steel book already won me over. One of the best I have ever owned. Might even use this for the Fury Road bluray instead? (but putting the game in the Fury Road case would be weird...)
33.62gb install on the PS4, 413.8mb update, not bad at all, surprised I didn't have to wait hours for a gazillion gb day 1 patch to download.

Thats a good plan, but I'm one of the lucky peeps who got it early, so I know its wonderful. All the extensive videos of the game I've seen look extremely fun to play, so yeah I'm waiting on impressions from fellow gaffers.

Gonna pick this up on PSN so I can play it at 10 tonight. All the impressions I've read/gameplay I've watched make it sound really good.

First, great work on the OT Simo. 
Second, those videos with the storms look awesome and insane at the same time.
And third, the only things Mad Max and MGSV have in common is the release date and being open world. Other than that, two very different games.
I'm picking up both tomorrow and it works out great for me because im hyped and excited to play Mad Max first which I will. Then, I'll play MGSV and by the time im finished, it will be time for another awesome action oriented experience with Uncharted Collection. Starting tomorrow, it's pretty much one game after another for the rest of the year including Just Cause 3 but one thing annoys the hell out of me...Rico's facial expressions never change in any of the videos I have seen. UGH.
Back to Mad Max.....the intro along with the music is awesome and for those paying attention, it's very similar to the 2008 movie Doomsday which has parts in it that's based on the Mad Max universe.
Just over 24 hours to go and I'll finally be playing Mad Max baby!!!

Okay, so I was going to wait until Christmas to buy this but that just sold me. Looks like I'm getting this tomorrow.
PS4 is the way to go I assume?

Hooooly shit! That was fucking wild! I love how you kept hauling that great trying to get the hell out of dodge. lol
Well Max in Fury Road wasn't going to have a Australian accent and didn't at first but the backlash to the game, and the fact test audiences had trouble understanding what Hardy was saying, meant that they did a ton of ADR over 3 years for the movie.
Having watched the film I agree with ya but it is what it is.
People seem perfectly content with both console versions, thus far. Decent amount of people saying the Xbox One version runs just as well.

If you have a good PC get it there

Both run at 1080p, locked down/rock solid 30fps.
This one is all about controller preference.
I went Xbox One since the screenshot quality is better and easier to save and post and the game has Photo Mode out of the box.
