Am sorry but I do not have my hopes up to high for this game. I still feel its going to be rubbish.
It's far from rubbish if you're a fan of the Mad Max universe.
I'm not sure why metacritic has this game at a 73... maybe It's a PS4 issue.
I personally think this game is optimized for PC and is fantastic fun. For the first time in my life I agree with IGN... MAD MAX It's a great game.
Ok i finished it and i can say no more than 55-65/100 from me.
This i s good game but not even remotely great,
1* Poor AI, and heavily scripted camps make dismatling them just boring after couple times. You can stay in the open just before invisible line to trigger AI to attack you. You fight in some kind of arenas, couple enemies at once and then nothing. Fights are "mashing X button and sometimes Y" fests.
Oh yeah, there is sometimes A also ... all boses (top dogs) are brothers i think, they look exactly the same, fight in same style, have same moves and even finishing scenes are exactly the same for them.
2* Weapons, well you have on your whole car enough space to keep 5 bullets to your sniper rifle, and with all this stuff you have with you, you still can carry just 5 or 6 shotgun shells with fully upgraded ammo belt ?? WTF ?!? And Sniper rifle mounted on car only ?? SERIOUSLY !? What with sniper rifles used by enemies, that would be difficult to allow us to take those ?
3* Melee, well i think Max is some kind of a complete idiot, he can broke shiv in an instant. Enemies can attack you with their shivs all the time, but Max grab it and BAM, one time use only. Same with other mele weapons, you can turn on infinite life otion on trainer and see how enemies beat the s...t out of you with their clubs, but grab one yourself, BAM it will break after couple hits.
4* Repetitive, every territory is exactly the same, dismantle camps, gather scrap, destroy scarecrows/snipers or minefields [this one is hilarious]. In every stronghold people are starving and die of thirst, why ? Becouse Max need to build all the needed projects like oil well, or maggot farm. SERIOUSLY ?? HOW THEY SURVIVED THEN !!?
That makes game just plain boring, after half of the map cleared of Scrotus's threat, i just decided to go straight to gasstown and finish this game as soon as possible, no more side quests.
5* Bugs, those are annoying ones. Like dissapearing map, or unresponsive controls (you can look around but can't walk, fight, pause game, select map, nothing works) only way is to let someone kill you or restart game)
I forgot how many times i died becouse my car hit some invisible barrier/obstacle on the road, and spinning like cue ball, fall from cliff.
This is my, and only my point of view, You don't need to agree with it.
P.S. Sorry for my english.
Agreed. I think the selling point for the game is too high for what you're really getting. Should be $10-$20 cheaper IMHO. It's a decent one-time game without much more to give after you beat it. It's too scripted and would have been better if they made it a bit more like Far Cry 3 or 4 with the added ability to play in 1st or 3rd person, ability to carry more weapons/ammo, and if enemies were not scripted and more dynamic.
