Mad Max for PC Video Review

[@jedi196]

These reviews are so well done I like how just simply tell me what the game is to a T. Awesome. Thanks

[@producerevan88]

Right? Like I feel like I've played the game 👌

[@stevenlornie1261]

Mad Max is quite the under appreciated game. It's not classic by any means but it does what it intends to do VERY well and I loved every minute of it. Playing through the lightning storms is quite unforgettable and a big highlight for me. Great review.

[@MamoMark]

Its a game that does everything it sets out to do well, but it doesn't do anything new or special. Its just a well produced open world game. You either will really enjoy it or you'll find it very boring.

[@dallesamllhals9161]

MAX-FACTOR! If NOT a fan then...

[@ViceSnipe]

You didn't mention it but the first person mode in the opus was probably my favorite feature in this game. There's a mission that takes you into a train tunnel and I completed the whole sequence in first person and it may have been one of the most immersive moments in any game I've ever played.

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

In Mad Max always drove in cockpit view.

[@v.losity498]

This is one of my favorite games from this generation. I 100% it a year ago.

[@ppgranja3]

This game is so underrated it hurts. I loved my 40 hours time with it! Now I need a Mad Max 2

[@christianrashotte1605]

I'm currently giving it a second playthrough and I love it just as much now as I did 5 years ago. Can't get enough thunderpoon!

[@dr.vanilla9017]

Griffa has the best voice acting and dialogue in the entire game, change my mind.

[@ianrotten4453]

If anyone sees this, I'm watching this video because it's on sale today on Steam for $4.99. I thought let's watch a review, and boy am I glad I did. That's a steal!

Out of all the locations visited I found that suburban house out in the dunes to be the most eerie. A table still set for dinner, a kid's bedroom complete with toys and drawings..... you expect to hear ghostly sounds while in it.

[@masswor5]

Have you considered looking at American Mcgee's Alice and its sequel. They may not be your cup of tea and they're far from perfect games but they are unique experiences I feel not enough people talk about.

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

The art style in both are great and the gameplay isn't bad. I like them both.

[@masswor5]

@@glucosaminecondroitan9135 I agree, I had to play the first game on a ps3 though and the controls didn't translate too well from the pc version especially combined with the awful framerate in some areas, also saving your game took a long time and was something you needed to do frequently. I'm still really glad I finished it though.

[@Crazelord91]

The original is pretty dated. And while I loved the style of the sequel and the controls were good, the gameplay was pretty boring and drawn out

[@masswor5]

@@Crazelord91 I've always found the combat strangely satisfying, juggling between slashing who you can, pepper grinding at teapots to keep them busy and throwing down rabbit bombs to distract enemies so you can focus on the bigger threats all while using your umbrella to deflect projectiles from the bigger guys. Also the dodging where the game slows down and you turn into a swarm of butterflies was always a treat to watch.

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

@@masswor5 I played the first on PS3 also. The controls did feel a little funny but not so bad that I didn't want to stop playing.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

Great game. FYI bodies and other upgrades DO effect performance despite having no visible effect on the related stats. Believe it or this is due to the game's collision detection which is not tallied/calculated into the stats. Spikes and the underside of the car DO catch on things and effect collisions. As a result bodies that sit higher perform better on rough/uneven terrain, as they have more ground clearance. Spikes also have a tendency to collide with and catch on terrain making the effect of collisions more severe. It seems they increase the car's collision box. With them you are more likely to collide with things and get flipped around more often when you do. I learned this the hard way when looking for help/tricks in beating the last story based/mandatory race. Adjusting my car so that it had a body with more ground clearance and reducing spikes helped IMMENSELY as I was no longer catching on shit and getting turned around by collisions. These were literally the only things I changed and the performance improved dramatically even though there was no visible bump in the related stats.

[@cordellsundstrom8400]

I actually loved this game! I don’t care what anyone says, this game was dope

[@TomLehockySVK]

Started so promising but it got so old, so quick, with an open world that has you doing "work" instead of fun activities.

[@pauldank3453]

Those goddamn mines

[@dlbutters7164]

I felt the complete opposite, it got even more fun for me, my car was almost like a Batmobile. lol

[@kaipacifica1289]

IMHO sounds like you're talking RDR2

[@SlumDogEpiphany]

Seems the game just isn't for you as that's what this game is emulating, "the work of surviving the post apocalypse" It's doing the red dead thing in it's own way

[@TomLehockySVK]

@@SlumDogEpiphany It is a game for me because i love car combat and post-apocalypse settings and i love Mad Max Fury Road ! Still doesn't change how i got super bored of how repetitive it was, and how there was no story to keep me going.

[@JohnDoe-pk8lc]

shinny and chrome review

[@ohmanthatguy2443]

I overlooked this game on release, due to reviews discussing how it wasn't bad just shallow. Witcher 3 has ruined a lot of open world games for me, but I think after seeing your perspective of this game it has given me a new one. I will invest my time through a Steam sale. I appreciate how in depth, and thorough your reviews are.

[@jussijusti]

This is my new favourite channel.

[@jasonmiller7628]

I love the thunderpoon but what about the lightning Tang lol

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

Despite its flaws this game is very very good. I too had a good time with the melee combat as well as the vehicular combat. Starting off with absolutely nothing but rags and a piece of junk of a car and upgrading it step by step has turned my Max and Magnum Opus into unstoppable weapons of destruction! I too recommend this game to every mad max and third person open world fan. I would never recommend this one to first person junkies.

[@tylertheguy3160]

I hope this game gets a sequel at some point.

[@dallesamllhals9161]

The SKYBOX!??? You forgot to mention the BLOODY 'skybox' = 'cause it's SO pretty ♥

[@hannesjakobsson765]

I honestly really liked this game. It's flawed yes, but I found myself addicted to it. I even 100% it, and yes, that includes collecting each and every single piece of scrap. I really hope they make a sequal.

[@DMX-PAT]

If you like MADMAX, and I mean simply like it and nothing more, this game is ridiculously good. This game is underrated, but more specifically for fans of the movies. It fleshes them out in a way that many movie games can't even come close to

[@atom6_]

Fully agree, if you are into mad max's older movies, this is it, it's the atmosphere, sound and looks that is so true to mad max. love this game, played and finished it twice and will play it again.

I played two hours of this when it first came out, I got bored really quickly with the big open desert remoteness and constant driving back and forth with not enough to do. Traded it in for Fallout 4.

[@limocars3412]

This game is fantastic, the only "flaw" I see in this game is that the story and character development could have been a bit deeper. Wish there were several sequels in the future, would buy them in a heartbeat.

[@ChaseMC215]

Max looks like Rico from Just Cause, which makes sence because there was a Just Cause reference

[@JAKX091]

Still remember when this came out on September 2015, on the *SAME DAY* as MGSV. Felt like only a few people and myself were aware of it's existence on release day. Real talk, this game gets way too much shit. It was an Open-world player's wet dream and was a solid prequal-tie in to Fury Road. Though I will admit it needed way more sidequests.

[@redspider3513]

Agreed.

[@SicSemperBeats]

the game on pc is amazing, like its optimized well and looks like a freaking concept. Although there will never be a sequel I really wish there would. Some pre apocalypse chase missions flashbacks from mad max 1 would be dope. Also I've watched all the films and played the games and I still have zero understanding of the story besides the basics

[@pippo17173]

If the game has at least more varied side activities, I think this could of been the best license games to ever be made.

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at Super Godzilla?

[@madkinggaming3744]

Also a plus this game handles extremely well with keyboard and mouse. I have a hard time playing with controllers so this was awesome to me

[@kurisu7885]

One of the funnier things in the game is if you manage to kill a bunch of enemies but leave the War Crier alive. His dialogue is pretty funny.

[@kevinespada3421]

I'll played Mad Max in the beginning of this year and found it to be okay, nothing special.

[@lm_dccxl4078]

I guess most people dont liked this game because the burnout of playing a lot of sandbox games. Im mostly a racing games person, so arcade driving with the sound of the v8 on the dessert spiced with some brawler, simple ability updates and exploration is a win-win for me.

[@SpeedsterBlur]

Small FYI: Buy the origin version, because it runs much better than the steam version due to no Denuvo being present in that version. How big...from 50-60 fps in the steam version all the way up to 120 fps in the origin port. Of course this could vary from pc to pc. Heck the video I saw this from might have been lying for all I know.

[@kiwimarshall3937]

I'm going to just leave my comment here

[@Crazelord91]

The comments are so polarizing. Either calling it mediocre or the greatest game of all time. Got it for $5 on steam, so I'm assuming I'll at least get $5 worth of entertainment

[@Clide0_0]

Crazelord91 yeah $5 for almost any game usually ends up being good fun at least in my experience

[@Nino1911Brown]

Same here, but got it last year for 9.99 I think, maybe 5, I may be wrong. The game had amazing graphics, but after a while, the desert gets kinda boring. Played it for maybe 6 hours total, never touched it again

[@Crazelord91]

@@Clide0_0 Agreed, though not for a lot of indie titles and once in awhile a AAA title is so bad that even the time spent downloading and installing isn't worth playing

@@Nino1911Brown It was probably $9, it only recently was $5 for a full WB sales week. But that sounds fine, plenty of games I've started and didn't finish but doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the time I played, just used up the fun

@@Crazelord91 After finishing this video and going thru the comments, I'm getting the urge of installing it again. I might like it this time around

[@contrabardus]

I agree with most of the video, except for the fact that Mad Max is a game that vastly overstays it's welcome. A smaller map and a more linear experience would have made the game much better. As it is, I never finished it simply because it just got boring. I did most of the major things, clearing out the strongholds, doing a lot of the side stuff as I went, etc... but it just didn't keep me invested and got old. That's saying something as I usually enjoy game series like Just Cause, Batman Arkham, and GTA and will always finish them. Mad Max is the only game in this genre I can recall that I haven't finished. The combat is fun in both vehicles and melee, but doesn't really carry the game. It's too padded and seems to revel in the size of it's map a bit too much. There isn't enough variation to keep it interesting for as long as it is and keep the grind from becoming more work than game.

[@dreamingskys6250]

It reminds me of fist of the North Star🌟

[@gemreivews]

This game was a grind fest, but oddly enough, that was a feature. The story is pretty short, so try to get to as many side quests done before finishing the game.

[@QMMarc]

Like, I get why people dislike it, it's just the ubisoft model of open world, but, at the same time, I think people that don't play literally every single ubisoft game ever would mind it, like at all, that plus the mad max code of paint does make it stand out than random hood man 5 honestly, So I get it, but at the same time, this reaches the niche of someone who really fucking love mad max and post-apocalyptic big spikey cars and crazy people with brutal shenanigans, which i'm a part of. I feel like this game just had bad luck during a time where every youtuber ever was talking smack about this model of open world games, and it's deserved, however, this was suuuuper used for it everywhere and I assume it hit it hard, which wasn't really fair, it's a fun game, and honestly, sorta weird since, it's almost like a PS2 game plotwise, it's a sort of movie tie-in but not with new things, just loosely based on the movie, sorta like how Spider Man 2 was sorta based on the movie but it had all these weird other shenanigans and villains from the comics and not the movie. It's an oddity that makes me like it more.

[@cremvursti]

I think it's the other way around; people who usually play Ubi games will be able to enjoy this one, while those who don't won't be able to finish it unless they force themselves to do it. Also, if you're a fan of the Mad Max setting I could understand why you might want to finish it, otherwise I can't really see why you'd continue to play it after you reach around 50% or so.

[@QMMarc]

@@cremvursti Completely disagree, when this came out I've only had played a handful of ubi open worlds, all my friends who were big into the ACs and played all the far crys said it was same old shit. Cause they were tired of the formula I assume, they ate too many cheeseburgers, that's the crux of it in my opinion. Nowadays I've seen it all and im also tired of those shenanigans. For the most part.

Hi There, Very comprehensive review. Thumbs up! In regarding , your comment in the video on Max not being fast well he is wearing a knee bracing which comes from the lore of the Road Warrior movie as as a big fan of the movie franchise I appreciate myself they transferred here. Death Races are not part of the movie lore but if you want to get through the Gastown race smoothly (this being a key point to advance in the main narrative) then i recommend to participate in them, in particularly the time bomb ones. I love this game and I recommend it to anyone and due this covid-19 situation, i have played extensively. I even created a playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLmFsFATV5iCg2Hde-h7bUlOPNC8EIpfpU with full in tips ,in video and video description, in side and main missions, taking over camps and death races to anyone who is new in playing it. Keep the good up! C

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

A bad game, that has a big but very specific fun factor. If you don't fall into a specific category of gamer, this game will bore you to death! If you look at the few and meager game mechanics available, from a game design point of view. This product has not much to offer. And its repetitive and grindy as F. Because you can't do very much, in this massive open world. And what you can do, turns most of the time into a chore, very quick. Cause you will repeat what you just did, too often. Every game mechanic in this game is either flawed, moronically designed or downright bad. Many mechanics could be described as, "stopped in the middle of the thought process, but still implemented.... " Yet the performance, the graphics and especially the atmosphere ranges form great to outstanding. And many times, i just stood there and gazed into the distance and at the amount of nice to look at parallax textures. Mad Max the video game, has the looks how Fallout 1&2 would look like. If ported properly into a open world 3D RPG-Adventure. Something, that the rejects at Bethesda utterly failed to achieve!!
