Mad Max: Savage Road Misses The Point

Mad Max: Fury Road created a huge buzz on the internet with its feminist themes. The game, however, isn’t living up to fan’s expectations.

God forbid Avalanche Studios doesn't choose to shove their political ideals in are face and instead just try to make a fun game.

"The game, however, isn't living up to fan's expectations"

Second sentence. Based on a demo? You want me to believe your article doesn't harbor some agenda?

Maria Kane is one of the lead characters in Just Cause 2.(Psssst Avalanche, the makers of Mad Max, made this game too)

In the game, Maria Kane has been with the agency since 1994. She denied several offers to join the Agency until she was eventually convinced.

You think Avalanche, a company well seasoned in the art of game making AND including strong female leads in their games, just forgot how to make AAA titles?

This article is based on a demo you played? Are you representing strong and secure womankind by writing this kind of throwaway, whiny journalism?

The problem with women like you is that you think you're helping the cause when in reality you're taking a step backward.

I loved Fury Road. Did you see the 3 other Mad Max movies? I didn't see any references to them in your article. How did they portray women? I seem to remember Thunder dome had a pretty strong female lead. But you know what? The first Mad Max didn't have any strong female leads so it was garbage, right?

12 angry men. All male cast.

Terrible

Final Fantasy XV. I haven't played it yet but it has an all-male lead character cast. It's already "not living up to fan's expectations" then, in your "HONEST" opinion, right?

Please.

Game looks awesome to me? A must buy for me since I love Mad Max.

Just Cause meets Mad Max universe, how do you mess that up?

Quofo3251d ago

Don't care what anyone says, I'm buying this game day one. Even over Phantom Pain. Sleeper hit of the year. It's going to be great. Perfect game to play while waiting for Fallout 4.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long7d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius7d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius7d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

I had a blast with a Bugs Bunny game on PS1 as a kid. It is probably trash now but at the time, it was awesome.

"50 Cent: Blood in the sand"

Ps3 scored 6/10 all round loads of review sites but was so much fun while not a technical masterpiece in any way has a worthwhile engaging story and script and of course an unbeatable soundtrack.

Honorable mention to Drive Clubs Ferrari Fxx-K. Should be there over Horizon.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim466d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno466d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
