WGTC:
Avalanche Studios takes the kitchen sink approach with Mad Max in the latest of its open-world video game endeavors. A desert hellscape that feels larger and more menacing than Australia’s outback? You got it. Extensive character unlocks and vehicle upgrades? Throw ‘em in. Races to partake in, camps to assault, convoys to clear, and other errands to run? Consider it done. The result is a Mad Max facsimile chock-full of activities to do and locations to tour, but the dozens of hours spent in this wasteland lack the staying power of Avalanche’s previous efforts.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
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 ...
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
BY MOSHE SWEET: These are the best licensed video games that are not Spider-Man or from the Batman: Arkham series.
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.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
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.
like the Order the game had enough for some people to like and many things that turn people off.
and like the order it needs constructive criticism to help avoid the same problems in the future.
WB and Avalanche need to learn lessons from this and not simply think one formula can fit all games.
Very fun game and worth the money. A little repetitive, like the bosses seem to be exactly the same, with same moves etc.
9/10 for me.
This game, like Shadow of Mordor, is a litmus test to see if the reviewer is a gamer or a critic.
The gamer would be enthralled by the top notch car combat and spend hours upgrading his kit. The act of exploring the wasteland to slowly build the car and turning Max into a badass is something that is captivating to the gamer.
The critic would be annoyed by having to visits all these locations and how long it takes to farm scraps. He wants his upgrades and couldn't be bothered with having them gated behind so many conditions.
I had fun for a good while, but then the repetitiveness wore me out. From there I focused solely on the story and it was okay. I'd give it a 7/10, car combat was fun and hand to hand excellent. The rinse repeat nature of all the side content was blah to me. The witcher 3 has set a new bar for side missions and content. Maybe I am just spoiled now.
