Support NeoGAF

[timmyp53]

Surprised at the number of people that haven't played Origins.

I loved the demo on PS3 but even back then it seemed like it had limited shelf supply.

 

[antitrop]

Even if you think that, it was novel and carved a nice niche for itself.

And BTW - if everybody is buying the B-titles they missed last gen, pick up Space Marine too!

I'm fine with the way this thread has gone.

Space Marine was good times.

 

[meanspartan]

Oh we talking wolverine games?

Play this one if you hate yourself.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Why did people keep on mentioning Fury Road like this is supposed to be a movie tie-in?

It isn't.

It's a standalone game using the Mad Max IP. Nothing to do with the film other than the fact that, yes, it releases the same day as the Blu-Ray (for obvious market reasons) and the character, Max Rockatansky is in it.

That's it, so I really wish people would drop the whole, "lol, movie games suck"

I think the fact that it releases on the bluray release tells me they are exactly trying to associate the movie with the game even if is an original IP.


^lol. X-Men 2: Clone Wars was better...

It's a movie game. It's based on a movie franchise and contains stuff from the movies. It's not based on any of the single movies themselves, but it's a movie game.
To deny this is very strange.

That's on my to play list. I should have played that when I was waiting for MGS, too late to install it now.

LJN seal of quality.

[FinalStageBoss]

Saw this on psn streaming, looked boring tbh

 

[Plumpman]

I would buy this game just because of those sandstorm GIF's that I've seen floating around.

Spoiler

I already did.

 

[dragonflys545]

I'll wait till tomorrow before I either keep or cancel my pre-order.

 

[poodaddy]

I'm not interested in the game at all, but you guys who are saying a 7 is mediocre are nuts. 5 is typically mediocre, below that is shit, above it is serviceable, and I d say 8 and above is good.

Yuuuup.
Really wish people would quit it. I think the game looks quite fun.

For me, it was the nemesis system that brought me in. While cool, the novelty wore off after a while. The overall, minute to minute gameplay of SoM, for me, was pretty pedestrian and forgettable after a few hours.

Mad Max, I feel, is a game that sounds great on paper but if you don't nail the execution, you can alienate the fanbase. After the last movie dropped and just rocked people I think the expectations are just too high. The hour long footage that's on YT is real, step by step gameplay of the finished product. I don't need two no-name websites to review the game because I watched real people playing the game and I formed my opinions from that. Unless, there is a huge upgrade from that hour, I think the game is a poor mans' Ubisoft game with a car.

 

[napalmjam]

Every mad max thread has members looking for an excuse not to buy it .Don't know these sites and the first one tried to install an apk virus to my phone .

 

[NullPointer]

Surprised at the number of people that haven't played Origins.

I would've, but in classic fashion when it comes to immortal or near-immortal characters, enemies were packing bullets that could bypass wolvie's regeneration and kill him dead, dead, dead as a doornail, which I thought was a little lazy.

But speaking of death, how does it work in Mad Max? Do you respawn at the nearest basecamp or something?

Yuuuup.
Really wish people would quit it.

That's a really unrealistic thing to ask of people. Of course people are going to hold the new Mad Max game up to the new Mad Max movie to compare and contrast.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Kaboom;

This true?

 

[Joco]

I expect this game will drop fast in price. Will probably get it when it hits the $30 range.

God that just looks SO boring. Stupid movie games and their mediocrity in my video games. /s

Looks good.

 

[Beelzebufo]

So serviceable is still below average, so what's the point in the distinction?

 

[Gunslinger]

Damn two mediocre reviews so far. When doe the embargo lift?

 

[Timu]

Has there EVER been a good game based on a movie?

Yes.

I was under the impression that the villain of this game is the son of Immortan Joe that wasn't in the movie, and that George Miller actually gave a lot of input on the game.

So you admit that he wasn't in the movie, and therefore it's not a movie game?

 

[Mad Season]

The 2 sites are shit

Based off of these blog reviews of them watching streams/videos? lol

 

[Ridley327]

Well, I can't imagine that the game would have come up at all if they weren't making Fury Road. It's the same thing with the game for Chronicles of Riddick.

It's absolute SHIT https://youtu.be/O5tTt8_jHv4?t=472

[Anung]

LOL why are y'all so mad? 😂 Has there EVER been a good game based on a movie? I saw these bad reviews coming a mile away.

> 7.5/10 and a 6.5/10
> Bad Reviews

Spider-man 2 and Wolverine Origins were some killer movie games.

 

[Gunslinger]

The 2 sites are shit

Yeah i have never heard of them before. But i think 7.5 sounds about what i expected it to get. But the i don't get the 6.5 though. People was hoping this for to be this years shadow of mordor. But i never saw it personally.

This true?

Yes when I click on the navigation bar it hits me with 5 or 6 tabs then tries to take me to an app store

 

[Randam]

Why is this game so popular on GAF?

Out of a joke, because it will release the same day as mgs v?

 

[Nete]

Not the best release window for the game.

I hate his outfit though, he looks just as dumb as every other superhero. Even if he is stabbing shit.

X-Force costume looked amazing on the game.

I need to replay this.

 

[Hellwarden]

I don't mean to sound like a condescending dick here, so don't dogpile on me.

But it seems like people are being a bit hard on this game doesn't it? Like two mediocre reviews come out, and people are saying they're dodging bullets by not playing it.

Not gonna lie folks. Some 6 and 7 out of 10 games can still be a lot of fun. Just saying.

 

[Gnome Scat]

I always got a meh vibe from the game. Something just seemed off. I'm sure it'll be fun, but nothing amazing.

MGSV it is then.

And they can completely earn the scores they get.

I say this with all games:
Buy at your own risk.

I am think some are hoping it's crap so they don't feel the need to buy it because of metal gear all I keep seeing is comments saying stuff like "oh saves me money"

 

[antitrop]

Being the developer's follow-up to the widely-liked Just Cause 2 doesn't hurt either.

Would it surprise you that people would actually want to play it or something?

 

[Dueck]

WB surprised me with Shadow of Mordor, but it doesn't seem like that will be the case here.
No idea what they were thinking releasing this alongside MGSV and so far away from the movie

This. Shadow of Mordor showcased that awesome Nemesis system and looked like an overall more intriguing, better product. Opinions prior to launch seemed more in SoM's favor than Mad Max's...

And, as I've said elsewhere, the marketing for MM generally sucks, in large part due to "Magnum Opus" taking up 10% of the word count of whatever they're saying. It's corny and in your face, like Poochie (end rant).

MGS V is likely the best game in a well known franchise, reviews came out quite early and it's looking like a lock for GotY. Even if Mad Max was getting the same amount of kind press, it would be a stretch to say it's competition for "king of September first". The fact it seems mediocre will compound with MGS V to utterly bury it.

I don't want any games to be disappointing, the more fun ones the better, but I'm having a hard time being excited for this unless there are some cool new features I wasn't aware of.

Put the first link in an email tag to be sure. Nothing popped up for me though so..I dunno.

Because its a group of MGS fans that feels that releasing on the same day its MGSV vs Mad Max, and only one can be good. Even though the are 2 different games, both by top notch dev teams.

Fury Road was extremely popular here and people like Just Cause 2.

Cause it looks like it could be entertaining, and not everyone wants to give their money to the greedy asshats at Konami.

I tend to take first impressions around here with a grain of salt. Most of the time I see people praise a game they just bought, as if to justify their purchase, only to sour on it eventually. That or just claim reviewers don't know what they're doing ala Devil's Third as a recent example.
