And that focus on day one sales is sickening.

Sleeping Dogs was amazing and the one complaint I have about it is the city itself. Once you start noticing all the things that don't work it feels like the city is a decor. What I mean by that is things like a big tall building that is flat with pipes and air conditioning on 2 sides and stores on the front and back. Not a single door that look like it could lead to the upper floors. The alley behind the bar has a lot of buildings and rooftops and all are impossible to reach from the regular map. After seeing the GTA4 and 5 maps that look like real cities from every angle it was a bit annoying once I started noticing the flaws of the Sleeping Dogs map. That said I still played through the entire game twice.

[@MadMaxBible]

That is true. The game contains spoilers about the main villain of the upcoming Furiosa movie that's going to be released in 2023. Had George Miller had any input in making this game he'd never allow for such a thing to be included in it. But since he didn't have much control over it, WB did whatever they wanted, so George Miller didn't sign off on it, and his name is not in the credits of this game.

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

@@MadMaxBible There ya go, folks. Shame that WB saw themselves fit to do such a thing with his work. Even sadder that this was the price paid for the first good _Mad Max_ game to see release. While we're on the subject, do you personally think that this all has caused Miller to have to rewrite/rethink what he wanted to do with the _Furiosa_ movie negatively?

[@MadMaxBible]

​@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish Well, long story short - George Miller and WB share the Mad Max IP and George is the creative guy, WB are the corporate folks that take care of the financing, distribution, merch etc. But WB doesn't really get this IP so they did some dumb shhi stuff with it that pissed George Miller off as far back as in 1990 when they made the crappy Mad Max game on the NES. Game so bad George Miller tried to block WB as much as he could from ever selling the MM license to game developers. And I know that some people might think I'm over exaggerating about this whole thing but WB back then were really a bunch of morons with dumbass ideas about the franchise just because they financed it and shared rights. For example - they wanted to release Fury Road without the Citadel scenes. George had to fight them tooth and nail to film the rest of the movie because they really thought the film was complete without those scenes.... there's plenty more examples (messed up toys, lawsuits etc). Anyway, to answer your question - I don't think this caused Miller to rewrite Furiosa. The script for that film has been around for approximately 13 years and the outline of it remains the same till this day. Another positive is that WB now has a completely new management that understands what they're dealing with, George Miller specifically mentioned that during the Furiosa announcement conference. So I think we're good. Maybe we'll even get a proper Furiosa tie in game with George Miller's name on it?

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

@@MadMaxBible Thank you for this clarification, and for answering my question! Quite informative. I, too, am hopeful George Miller would still be interested in perusing future game tie-ins, not only to a game with his complete blessing but also just to see what kinds of ideas he has for games. Always find it interesting when influential names from other art industries become interested in video games.

[@MadMaxBible]

@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish George Miller has always been interested in games as a new medium for his stories since like 1987 when he wanted to make the first Mad Max game. And just recently he's been talking a lot about Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding as a great example of storytelling in the form of a game, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd team up with Hideo for a tie in Furiosa game, especially because Kojima is a fan of Mad Max himself.

I had never heard of it (knew the movies of course, but didn't know they even made a game) at the time. They really buried that game for some reason. No marketing and launching it next to MGSV? It's like they wanted it to die.

@@ChaseSchleich Kinda like Titanfall 2. Released the same week as Call of Duty at the time, and later was revealed that EA *actually* wanted it to fail.

[@ChaseSchleich]

@@vahlok1426 I don't get it. They spend all this money on development and then decide to just throw it all away. If you think it's going to fail, fine, don't spend the money on marketing, but at least give the game a chance to get some word of mouth and make some of that development money back. Just leading it to slaughter seems like a horrible business decision.

I got the game as a pre order for my birthday that year, and it was well worth it. The driving was arcadey enough to be easy to control, while leaving you with enough freedom to pull off some truly mad manoeuvres. The combat (while clearly derived from the Arkham series) felt got and was paired with great animations and weapons to make it feel brutal. True, the story was nothing to write home about, but who the hell goes to Mad Max for the story? It's a real shame that this never got a sequel or DLC.

This game’s biggest fault was releasing on the same day as MGS V

[@Cloud-zx2mu]

I remember the storms that could happen in this game. I was so excited to experience them but i only encountered them like 3 times or so in my whole 100% playthrough. If you were unlucky they only lasted moments. If they emphasized those storms and dramatic moments more i am sure that i wouldve enjoyed it a lot more

[@Joff_Joff]

I just finished this game yesterday

[@ARIXANDRE]

It came out the same day as MGS V. I left it on my backlog but loved it when I finally played it.

[@ASCENDER]

I've been trying to pitch a multiplayer sequel to this game for years to WB Games. So keep those fingers crossed.

[@jimthar17]

It's really a good and fun game. If you're someone who hasn't played it yet, pick it up. It's a good time. It was just released at the wrong time. I'm hoping there will be a sequel in the next couple of years. Especially since there IS another Max movie coming.

[@izzy2802]

This was such an amazing game and storyline. I wish that one part we could change is the hope and the glory ending.

[@johnyguitar258]

yeah max relieved his past thats why he alwhasy runs awhay from every one

[@emulation2369]

Nah, it fits the universe of Mad Max

So much history, you guys are awesome!

Game was alright. Competent enough. I've played a bit but have yet to get round to finishing it. Game had alot of cool ideas and executes some of them well (others, not so much). But it does really suffer from that repetitive and "been there done that before" feeling that many of these more generic open world games that released around the same time had; Very much seems like that Farcry syndrome where once you've played one of them you feel like you've played them all, and you ultimately get to the point where you wonder what you are doing still playing the game when you could be playing something a bit more...unique or inspiring. For me, personally, I think the drab blasted wasteland setting doesn't help...dirt dunes as far as the eye can see...even though I realise it's appropriate for the setting, other games based in the same sort of environment, such as Fallout 3, managed to find ways to mix up the environmental visuals a bit. I feel that variety in gameplay environments is really important to keep people more invested in a game. It's always better to be playing a game and be wondering or excited to see where you end up next, rather than just realising no matter where you go in the story, it's all going to kind of look the same - it can ruin your drive to progress.

I remember playing through this game a few years ago. It was pretty fun. I don't remember a lot about it but I do remember the airport area being spooky and the final city with the mountains of scrap being such a stark contrast to the open deserts of the beginning area.

[@WayStedYou]

I still can't believe they tried to make this game without an Australian accent.

[@chesterstevens8870]

That's because it's not set in Australia, dummy.

[@Rakmarok]

@@chesterstevens8870 🤔

[@shadow-squid4872]

@@chesterstevens8870 Pretty sure it’s meant to be. Every Mad Max film has been set in Australia from what I know, and most of the background characters have Australian accents

[@chesterstevens8870]

@@shadow-squid4872 No; because the game is set several decades after the oceans have receded and the borders of the continent have ceased to exist. On top of that there is no unifying government or national identity that brings the wasteland together. For all intents and purposes Australia no longer exists in this timeline, ergo there's no reason for any of the voice work to be done by australians.

[@shadow-squid4872]

@@chesterstevens8870 There’s nothing that implies it doesn’t still take place where Australia used to be, and that’s what people are referring to when people talk about it taking place in Australia, regardless of whether there’s a government that determines where Australia is or not

This was one of those great games you could just play to relax and chill out, I would pop on podcasts while just driving around hitting jumps and fighting patrols
