I'm pretty sure the Plains of Silence is just the dried up ocean, void of any life, where Max was going to drive into until he would eventually die.

[@P0SSPWRD]

I interpreted the Plains of Silence as a metaphor for what remains after you’ve 101% the game. As you’ve destroyed all the threats and enemies (other than the ones that spawn so you can take a car if you need one). So you’re basically left to drive around an empty wasteland.

They mention Plains of Silence in Fury Road, but Furiosa clearly shows that the oceans are still there. Guess it's just the wast Australian desert between the Citadel and the east coast that's almost 3000km, but it's still doable with enough gas, water and food I suppose.

[@MrHammers]

The iconic shotgun is almost a downgrade because you go from four barrels to two, but it does reload super fast. And I'm pretty sure you get the interceptor after killing scrotus don't you? I think it's in the garage when you load the game back up

It's tricky to put the Mad Max game into a genre, but the recent release Sandland reminded me a lot of it, it had both character and vehicle combat where you explore a mostly desert wasteland.

When having the V8 we still have that one extra rev and Smoke that shows that. It is still animated with the V8, but there is no sound. THAT is actually my only complaint about this game. Other than that, it is kind of a perfect driving open world game to me. Bugs and repetitiveness aren't changing this.

[@aarondennis5000]

Just picked it up for a replay, this game is seriously a hidden gem.

[@angryclown1990]

I stumbled upon the objectively (IMO) correct way to play this game around my fifth playthrough. I decided to see how quickly I could just bull through the game to get the V8 as fast as possible. I did the bare minimum to progress the story and get me to gas town, ignoring every unnecessary mission/encounter/side task. By the time I got to Gastown, I hadn’t made a dent in Scrotus' control and barely unlocked any car upgrades. So when Hope and Glory were murdered, I was woefuly unprepared for the final battle. I needed to do those side taskes to unlock the upgrades I needed. As I set out to do so, I discovered that when you're out in the waste with the final mission not started, every now and then you will hear Hope and Glory speak in your head. Their ghostly, echoing prases remind you of their deaths, their suffering, and your failure. Suddenly, the rest of the game went from busy work to a rage fueld plan to systematically dismantle Scrotus' kingdom. Every mission, every camp raided, every combat encounter punctuated by the haunting voices of Hope and Glory egging me on, telling me to "Hurt them", to "Remeber what they did", to "Make them pay! Make them bleed!" Every time I'd upgrade my tools, car and weapons their voices would remind me "You promised!" "You said you'd save us!" By the time I had removed the threat levels and was fully equiped and ready to take on Scrotus, I'd spent hours angrily smashing and killing my way through the wasteland with those lines echoing in my head that I thought I was just as crazy as Max, and I went at that last mission like a rabid dog. I love this game.

[@Bambale178]

I'll try this approach next time. My first gameplay was the opposite, I didn't enter gas town until I had finished and cleared everything in the other regions, which made the final levels easy to finish.

[@TheNathanMChannel]

I'm glad I read your comment. I've played the game dozens of times and never tried this approach. But I tried doing only the bare minimum quests, and for whatever reason this has given me Chumbucket dialogue lines which I have never heard him say before. It's really weird. Probably because I only got the Speed Demon car parts when the quest needed me to and not by me just roaming around.

[@aktivniigomes1989]

I love the ending of this game. Really captures the spirit of the movies. Nothing gained or lost. Max just stuck in that never ending loop of suffering, losing everyone, even when he tries not to be to close with them. But at the end of the day, he returned his car, that's all that matters, he forgets everything that just happened (even forgets Glory's gift), it's only him, the car and the road, the mad road warrior returned at last

[@flippedoutkyrii]

A Mad Max Kojima Joint would be absolutely nuts. I recommend you look up the Whu Happun? Behind the Scenes Episode of this game, because it's development sounded like an absolute nightmare with development restarting and pivoting multiple times, all the more incredible it turned out as good as it did.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

FUN FACT 1: Hope & Glory are the woman & girl seen in Max's flashbacks in Fury Road. FUN FACT 2: Hope and Glory are Dementus' wife and daughter that he referred to in Furiosa. FUN FACT 3: Max is the reason they are dead. He tried to rescue them from Dementus.

[@brightstonepictures]

Interesting interpretation. The comic suggests otherwise. We did our own version with a 40 minute long Mad Max short film. Miller will probably do something completely different with his take on Hope and Glory in Mad Max The Wasteland.

I never really thought the movies should be followed chronologically, but rather as if you are hearing different legends about the road warrior from different people. The first one about how he became an unstoppable wanderer through a tragic revenge story, the second about the good natured wasteland we saved the lives of a tribe from a ruthless warlord. And so on

[@zerrierslizer1]

it pisses me off to no end that WB Games just published the game, and then left it to dry up and die. it not only WAS amazing when it first released, but STILL IS Amazing! sadly tho, nobody has managed to mod the game on PC, so no new chasies like the one i really wanted, which was the classic 1969 Dodge Charger RT, which is my favorite American Muscle Car of all time.

The biggest irony here is that George Miller himself has stated that he isn't a fan of the game yet apparently had no problem making references to it in Furiosa. So that means one of two things: 1) He eventually came around to it. 2) He acknowledged that fans of his movies liked the game so he decided to throw them a bone in true classy fashion.

No game is perfect. There are a few criticisms of this game: -Chumbucket is at least as old as Max, so he should know what the world was like before, but he has no clue - doesn't know what airplanes were, doesn't know about oceans, etc. (Hope, who is apparently younger than Chumbucket, remembers the world before) -The actual story is pretty short, and you're only required to clear out camps in order to downgrade a territory's danger level to unlock upgrades in the garage. -Having to build the Archangel "the Jack" in order to be able to enter Gutgash's sanctuary is a silly requirement, because the car you'd have built by the time you get the parts to make "the Jack" is superior to the Jack itself. And then no Archangel is required anywhere else in the game, except for Death Runs. -Max can jump, but the mechanics to do it are clumsy, and the 2 or 3 places where a jump is actually necessary are more tricky than they need to be because of the sloppy jumping. -Sometimes there is a glitch where the Intel people don't spawn near the camps to tell you about the secret entrances, and if you clear the camp before they show up, you'll get a blurb on the camp info page that says, "No intel gathered." -Chumbucket's repair speed (finding his special wrench) doesn't become available until closer to the end of the story, so the 3 phases of repair speed abilities weren't planned out well, because level 2 and 3 are unlocked at the same time when you do the mission to find that one wrench. -When you clear out a camp, the horrible yelling in the background of the camp does not change or stop. -In a world where fuel is scarce, it makes no sense for Max to have to destroy all the oil facilities for allies to take them over....then be left with no oil, because he destroyed the pumps and tanks. -The prompt to press "B" to drop off a ladder sometimes automatically makes Max waste a shotgun shell when he lands, because that button also fires the shotgun. -The in game GPS takes you the wrong way to get to some destinations; leads you to a road at the bottom of a cliff when the target area is at the top of the ciff -The Scrap Crew Parts for each sanctuary is useless now. Having the Scrap Crew built for each sanctuary used to allow allies to collect scrap for Max whilie the game is turned off, but it "requires internet connection," and because the online aspect of Mad Max has been turned off, no scrap is collected for Max when the game is off anymore. But you still need to build that component to complete each sanctuary. That said, this is still a great friggin' game.

[@Nevergates]

I revisited this game after getting hyped for Furiosa, and it is honestly better than I remember. Its pretty much what I want in a game these days: just straight up fun gameplay that you can get lost in for a couple hours here and there. I think the game hits for the same reason Spiderman works for alot of people: they love to just swing around New York and beat up random criminals. I really get that, but its not my jam. Me, Im totally content to just drive around a toxic wasteland in a badass car, kicking ass and collecting random bullshit to upgrade my bullshit. Thats it. Thats all I need. If I want an award winning story, Ill watch a movie, or maybe a show. The story in this game is everything it needs to be: a reason to keep your foot on the gas pedal.

Aside from being extremely repetitive, it was a fantastic 7/10 game. The encounters, especially by the 3rd act, become pretty much copy & pasted, and it was almost like they didn't have time or forgot to add something unique to each boss fight. And there was a whole section of the map that had absolutely nothing going on. I enjoyed the game, it was beautiful and intense, but it could have been so much more. I am happy that Miller has owned the canon and integrated some details into Furiosa. Being reminded of the ending after all these years stirs up a lot of emotions... Not many games can do that.

[@pici5533]

Couple years later I restarted the game because I wanted to get the full experience again and tried 100%ing it again. Got about as far as I did the first time because I burned myself out. A couple months ago I picked it up again, but this time continued where I left off and this time I beat it and 100% it. I really loved it but the story was pretty lackluster and I really didn’t like the ending. Everything else though is honestly amazing, I mean it is repetitive but beating people senseless as Max never got old, or just utterly demolishing people in car combat. Sadly you can’t get all achievements anymore because they killed the “live service” but if you download someone else’s save you can get the last achievement that you can’t get.

This game and The Saboteur are the greatest sleeper games.

This game was really well-made even for its time. I decided to replay a long time after I first completed it. I was hesitant at first because I already knew what was going to happen and it took me some effort to get back into it. But once I got the hang of it once again it, I just couldn't stop playing. There is no real story, but who cares? It's a Mad Max game, we don't play or watch Mad Max for the plot anyway. But the game is just fun. Simply entertaining. And the graphics are terrific. This game might as well have been released today and the audiovisual aspects of it would still stand their ground. Game developers should really learn from this game as it is so well optimised that even my old PC can run it without issues on high graphics. Despite the fact that many newer games look much worse than this one and I can't run them. This game might've been a little underwhelming when it came out but the gaming industry have deteriorated so much that this game could be considered a masterpiece among the garbage they produce nowadays. Mad Max didn't bring much to the table but what it did bring it executed perfectly. This game cries for an MMO where you can just roam the wasteland, build cars, forge war parties and try to build your strongholds. Maybe even driving war rigs would have been cool, where you could actually fight on the truck and the cars like a land version of Assassin's Creed Black Flag. It's such a pity that this game went under the radar as it can still put a lot of other games to shame today.

I played this game, I loved it and I think I completed the game it its entirety. Super fun completing the little quests, and non main story content.

[@drewster876]

I remember renting this from RedBox back when it came out and 100 % completed it and loved every minute especially after the hype of Fury Road

[@DannyScott-pc8sf]

On series x at 120 fps 1080p with her support looks better than most modern games , a true masterpiece.

[@aresgodofwar7401]

I had a major issue with the fact I couldnt fully get rid of the motion blur even with turning it off there is still motion blur which sucks. It took me almost 3 months just to get through the beginning portion of the game due to that reason alone.

[@cerberus9832]

I have only one achievement left which is the challenges one. But somehow I just don't do it, it's hard coming back after finishing it but god I had fun with it.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Excellent PC port. With arbitrary resolution support, you can play this in vertical window and window/UI adjusts to it.

[@MrHammers]

That's pretty cool! Had no idea.

[@thatdude4542]

I played this for maybe 5-6 hours when I first got my ps4 then became distracted with other games and never went back. I've got it on the steamdeck now so gonna give it another try

[@MrHammers]

It runs fantastic on the steam deck, that's where I clocked majority of my hours

[@HamzaAnsari1425]

Two things stand out to me regarding this game: 1. The fire / explosions are AMAZING!! They have that perfect level of saturation and color. 2. The Longshot is one of the MOST satisfying weapons I've ever used in a video game. The animation and feedback / recoil is rather impressive.

[@P_D-px6iv]

Have you never played any other games with Sniper Rifles? You'd probably really enjoy the Sniper Elite series

[@HamzaAnsari1425]

@@P_D-px6iv *one of the most Sure, I've played several games with snipers, including most in the SE series. Thank you.

[@quarrena280c7]

I like repetitive games so mad max for me was perfect

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

Just finished my first playthrough. Had it stting in my library since Total Biscuit reccommended it. Yeah, that long. What the hell was I waiting for?

[@triscuitsarebad]

no way I too just started this game up again this week

[@DeathAngel-ft8oz]

Need to revisit it and finish my playthrough eventually. Game is definitely still enjoyable. I just haven't been in the right mood to play it.

[@MrHammers]

I've you start it's addicting, it's a very satisfying gameplay loop

[@jameswilder7649]

I love this game. Especially the hand to hand combat mechanics and vehicle modifications.

[@Night_flight_fpv]

Playing it again, and having a blast currently 👍

[@lucasmungoni5580]

I beat this game twice in PC and PS4
