Sweet Jesus, this game is massive. Put 12 hours in and went to look at the map, zoomed out and realised just how big it is, That's presuming there's as much stuff over the rest of the map as there is in the bits I've covered.

I get annoyed with his constant use of Like, Dude, and Bro
Do celebrate he doesn't use a webcam, no need for "over the top" fake facial expressions
That stream is making me want to get this game, I wish I had more time

Yeah, the framerate is seriously disappointing. It's great for 30fps (feels like Destiny and Forza Horizon 2, so absolutely /locked/ at 30), but it's still 30fps for a game that doesn't take crazy hardware to run.
I feel like these consoles are not going to much longer.

Hey, you can get a dog?
Great impressions and awesome shots.
Aaaargh, Friday can't come soon enough why did they have to delay the European release
Well thats from the first 2 hours so I can't really answer it!
Thanks! Game is a looker for sure and the amount of options and camera control for photo mode is great!
Installing now... then will be traveling to Valhalla all shiny and chrome!
Its a really, really nice CE actually. First time in a while that Ive said that.
More pics if anyone wants:

Dammit WB. First no Interceptor edition Fury Road blu-ray and now we don't even get a CE when they put out CEs for just about everything!!
Also looks like Rockstar energy drinks has a promotion for this? Loading screens with the WB messages talks about a exclusive free buggy?

Same here, It says out of fuel, if I'm remembering correctly.
And going back to last week during one of the streams, they use the fuel tank to refuel the generator. Spent about ten minutes trying to figure it before I left the area.
Maybe a glitch.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Great game so far loving it. I didn't care for the batman game and Mordor but love everything about this so far. About 6hrs in so far. The car combat is great, I love the harpoon. Hell even Driving around is fun. The regular combat is awesome, big fights feel so good and brutal.
Cleared out 1st 3 areas (well 2 and the tutorial part), all but mine fields. Got myself a load of upgrades and skills now, saving for 900 scrap harpoon thing next.
Next to Witcher 3, this is my favorite of the year so far.

Ain't even safe in the cut scenes in the world of Mad Max. I like it.

Looking for the best deal for the PC version. Is GMG 40% the best deal?
I was poking around in the sound options. Ive put mine on 5.1 "Fury" setting. Already felt some serious sub woofer madness and ive barely started the game.

The first storm you encounter...holy fuck. It made me jump when the lightning happened and yeah the sound design is top notch. Storm is super freaking loud but I like how going indoors sounds right and even through the vents the wind causes bottles and ropes/wire to blow around.

If you use capture mode and then select video mode you can disable the HUD and play it that way, but you have to press a few buttons each time so it's a bit of a hassle to enable/disable.
On PC you can use the HUD toggle I made to toggle it on/off with a single key:

Starting to feel way better about the game. Finally got some thundersticks (so good) and good upgrades are starting to open up to me. I've just been listening to the Giant Bombcast and skipping all story, seems like the way to go with this game

Working up my review now. Have to say I have some pretty big disagreements with some of the reviews so far.
Interesting game. Only bug so far is my main car has now switched 3 times. Each time I load the savegame on the PS4 I have a different main car. The fastback, then the interceptor looking one and now the damn corvette looking one LOL>

Just found out that your unlevelled harpoon can still rip off tires and such by pulling the car, you just can't quick harpoon. A bit annoying, seeing as just targeting those spots give a warning that you aren't levelled enough... I've been missing out
Also action prompts seem to be bugged on PS4. Press X prompts are mislabelled fairly often haha

I'm going to wager that the reason why the console versions aren't 60FPS is because of their weak CPUs.
Also not a fan of Max's voice, I mean the sound of it. Might be because of the movies though.
I'm guessing Fury makes the storms/explosions and stuff like that extra loud for people with good sound set ups.

Yeah, I had one, harpooned it and then some guys came after me while it was storming, they got blown away and I got out to try and get the contents but I kept getting hit by flying debris until I died. >_<

Just thought I'd chime in and say that this game has GLORIOUS sound design (^____^)
Rather be playing this right now than MGSV...

I fucking love weighty vehicle physics. So much more satisfying as opposed to a game like Sleeping Dogs where you turn on a dime and brake instantly.
Glad Avalanche went that route b/c if I remember correctly the Just Cause games had pretty arcadey physics/handling.
I've only driven the first buggy though.

Did you notice the audio has a skipping issue? A bit hard to notice, but incredibly annoying with headphones. It was mentioned on the Steam forums. Really hope this is patched.
I am finding that I am the same way. There are some nicely tucked away locations as well and the game is really just addictive once you get going a bit.

nah, didn't noticed on XboxOne at least

lol agreed, I'm playing PC ver with my trusty Sony MDR XB500 headphones which are hooked up to an amp after the soundcard output, Even just the sound of firing up your car is really satisfying.
Couple hrs in now (X1 version), and I am seriously loving this game. Its visually stunning (imo), atmosphere, everything is just awesome. The combat is much more satisfying than the Batman games, never liked it much in those. Car combat is equally awesome, everything feels like it has weight and mass as it should.
Its a shame the 'mainstream' are reviewing this a bit low, maybe because they have MGS on the brain I dunno. Anyway this game is a surprise hit to me, was not even on my radar until a few days ago when I saw some streams and videos. Good shit!

Came so close to canceling my order for this game due to some reviews... so glad I didn't. Game is a blast and loaded with atmosphere. Have not even played MGS5 yet.

Never underestimate how much a draw-distance can add to your world ala Xenoblade Chronicles
Shit just DRAWS you in when you stare into space

A few hours in now, and this is hitting all the right notes for me. The scrap / upgrades mechanic feels like a more fleshed out version of what Tomb Raider did, in an actual open world. I did 100% of the collecting in Tomb Raider because it felt meaningful, and so far I've been making sure to completely clear out the camps for the same reason. I see myself sinking a lot of hours into this thing.

Walk around the basket of the balloon, you will see a button prompt to refuel.
I love boosting for a big jump and come slamming back down to the ground when you land, the feeling of weight+the sound+the vibration of the controller just come together perfectly. It's a shame that landing a big jump takes like 1/3 of your car's health though (hoping some upgrade will help with this later on).

Just figured this out for myself. You have to go to the balloon itself and not the generator.

Is the draw distance good or bad in MM?

Is the game very atmospheric? I seriously adore games that can make you really feel "dat atmosphere"
Very much so.
Also I didn't think this would work, but I waited till a car got right up on me on foot, aimed carefully and BOOM. Shotgun right through the hood, car blows up and flies right over my head, with Max ducking as flames and metal spray everywhere around him. Stuff felt like something you'd see in a scripted sequence.

I'm having a hard time parrying a second or third attacker mid combo. Do you have to wait right before the circle closes then press Y?
No, parry window is closed by then. Press Y the instant you see it.
I need to turn on fury mode then.

1080p on XB1. Looks and runs great. I'm impressed.
I think that's only if you want a perfect parry/limb break/disarm etc., otherwise you can usually press the button as soon as the prompt comes up if you're not stuck in a punching animation.
Running this downscaled at stable 60fps. It is that well optimized, but I assume having an empty wasteland helps. Here is a HQ video if anyone's interested:
