I'm glad someone else mentioned this. People easily dismiss this game due to the reviews, but professional critics aren't the average gamer, they are always looking for some new innovation to write about, it is of course their job. But turning an enjoyable hobby into a full time job is not going to happen without side effects. So there are virtues they miss when they seek only original story and innovative game mechanics. That freerunning zombie dead island non-sequel that i currently forget the name of suffers the same fate. I still enjoy Mad Max now, they did a great job of making a seemingly boring environment (a desert, or dried out sea bed) into a surprisingly interesting land to explore. Plus the vehicle combat is probably the most visceral and satisfying of any game i've played so far. Now i only hope they keep that engine (lol) for a proper vigilante 8 remake. Fingers crossed! Even talking about this now has driven me (lolol) to start the game up today! Good stuffz, jolly sir! One...tiny slightly niggly complaint though; why is there no bloody handbrake?? It is utter madness not to have one! Even rocket league has a fckin handbrake!! Annyway...stroopwafel said:Yeah I always look up some LP footage when a game is released I'm interested in. One of those games is Mad Max that got some pretty mediocre reviews but the LP I've seen of the game looked pretty cool. Kind of forgot about it(was released around the same time as MGS5) but when I saw it on sale recently I decided to try it. Haven't regretted it as this is a really fun and well-polished game(looks really nice as well). Massively underrated if you ask me. The game takes a lot of elements from the Ubisoft school of design philosophy but most of this stuff is optional and with the car combat having such a central focus in the game this is also where the similarities end. The on-foot 'Arkham' style combat is also really good and probably the best implementation of this type of combat besides the Arkham games themselves. It feels slower and weightier but definitely well suited to the type of game this is(they made a lot of subtle changes that gives the combat a different flow that is more appropriate to Mad Max). I think the developers did a fantastic job with the license. Look up some LPs and don't let the mediocre reviews fool you.
Let me guess, Scott Manly? Yeah, his videos were very informative for both of those titles.Baffle said:
It's mostly the commentary over it. When I watch GameGrumps I barely even watch it, I listen to their antics. It's mostly an in-the-background thing.tippy2k2 said:
Not speaking for him but it's obvious isn't it?Happyninja42 said:
Yeah, same here. I mostly watch Many A True Nerd, because he's just really damn funny, with his dry British wit. And his new dialogue for what the characters are doing and why is very humorous. I used to watch Geek Remix when they were doing Life is Strange, after seeing Mari's reaction to the end of Episode 2, but I don't watch those anymore. I recently found the joy that is Jesse Cox, and find great amusement and watching him flail his way through games, freaking out as he does so. Him playing Farcry: Blood Dragon was beyond hilarious.Cowabungaa said:
