Isn't is possible to jump from your car to someone else's?

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
I would like to know how this works on xb1.
Yeah I think it's a separate key, GMG gave me two. I'm going to activate it later.

Now that is ****ing spectacular!
This game is a looker for sure, I enjoy watching the sand footprints, for some reason it's the first thing I do in every game-- check to see how they handle footprints lol
I ain't got one from funstockdigital(or if it's on their page, i can't find it anywhere), maybe i'll email them later.
Went out last night. Came home late and thought about going to bed because of work the next day, but said fuck it and played some Mad Max. I kept telling myself "one more camp, one more scrap site" and played waaaaay too late. Tired as hell today, but damn is this game ever fun
Still love this, but the lack of a proper jump/climb function is a bit annoying. I was doing the mini wasteland mission
is in a tiny camp by a big overhanging rock, area stats say 2 scrap and 1 crew part available. I've got the scrap no issue; I can see the crew part up on a ledge, but I can't see anyway to get to it. There is a chest high block in the way, then a climbable ladder, so presumably you are able to get up there somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how. Can't climb the chest high block, can't park the Opus and climb on that etc etc. I've just been bumping into obviously climbable stuff which is annoying me.
Its not even an important pick up, it just grates on my collect everything OCD.
to get the first archangel (Shovelface body), Shovelface

I'm still getting a feel for the combat, but I think to get the perfect parry, you just need to wait until the last minute to press the button. You'll see the circle getting smaller around the button prompt for the counter. I've just been waiting until the circle is the smallest. Someone might wanna correct me if I'm wrong.

That is the impression I got from watching a video of someone playing.
I don't have the game to test it though =[

It actually gets a green highlight if you watch the outside closely. Its the Yellow Y button (Xbox controller for me) and it turns green around that yellow button right when its on perfect.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but is there a way to change your Opus Magnum chassis? I chose the Shovelface and it looks kinda boring. I don't want to start over.
Only included with pre order.

You mean body? You'll collect the others as you go through the game, they'll be at some of the scavenging points or whatever they are called.
Yeah the body. Well that is good to know. I just hit Jeet's Stronghold. When do these become available?

Beaten! I'm not a completionist though. It took me 26 hours with
-First area 100% completed
-Second area completed until 1 influence (or whatever it's called)
-Third area completed until 1 influence
-Fourth area completed until 2 influence
Car/Max was upgragraded essentially to the maximum, only engine (
) and moveset was not at their best.
Last mission is very good.
Overall i think the game is very good since it kept me hooked until the end. Landscape and areas are amazing (except the last one).

Walk behind the fence. There is a car bumper you climb and then you can reach the ladder.

Game is great to waste time and car plus max have enough upgrades where I could sink time into it for a while.
But what the fuck do I do to get more cash/junk? Fucking first upgrades for car I unlocked are like 300 a piece and I'm only finding like 20 max per cache.

If you free the outposts (i don't know how they are called precisely) they give you cash every now and then. For example if you have freed one outpost it will give you X cash every Y minutes. I don't know how Y is much but X iirc should be 20. And this scales of course.

Started last night:
+ Gorgeous graphics
+ Fighting is fun
+ Cars feel weighty
+ Music great so far
+ Feels like Red Dead Redemption with cars, which is a good thing
- Writing is a little like Fury Road, the B movie. They're trying, but it's still a bit awkward.
- Max looks a little soft on my good tv compared to, say, Talion or Batman. I don't know if he has less polygons, or it's a filter, but I wasn't blown away the first time I gained control.
- Biggest issue so far for me is the gimped jumping mechanics. First time I tried to collect Scrap, there was this piece on top of a sunken trailer bed that clearly I should have been able to jump up onto. Nope. You have to walk around it to one spot where you can push yourself up. I can see how this could get very frustrating, especially when you're used to being able to climb up anything that looks climbable in most of today's open-world games. Wish someone had warned me, so I'm warning you guys.
Overall, super excited to keep going. Seems like a solid 8 right now, which is about how I felt about Shadow of Mordor, my surprise gem of last fall. I'm not a MGS fan, so this will do nicely to scratch my adventure game itch until Fallout 4 arrives.
Also, FWIW, having way more fun with the beginning of this game than I did with the bloated beginning of Witcher 3.

Yeah you're right, I just went and checked this out, and I think I'd never noticed the green highlight before because the counter button on PS4 is the triangle which is green as well, so it blends in if I'm not looking directly at the prompt. Cheers.
Every base you capture will add around 20 scrap to your collection per base every 30 minutes or so. And you will find larger caches in other areas, as you progress.
The best way is to steal a Scrap van - those cash in 500 a pop if you drive them to a stronghold.
EDIT: Anyone know if there's a handbrake at all in this game? Because the inability to do tight turns is sort of killing the car combat for me.

I haven't disagreed with reviewers this much since Alien: Isolation got robbed.
I use it outside of vehicle combat. It's much easier to fight well in third person, but I do love just driving around the wasteland in first person.

Where do you take the enemy vehicles when you find them? Maybe I need to progress further.

exactly- most reviewers were super off the mark on this

Tried it for a bit [actually forgot that first person driving was even an option], it looks really really nice. It's impossible to keep track of enemy vehicles in combat though, but it looks cinematic as hell haha.
Jeet's Stronghold will be the first place you unlock. It's in the second main area. You won't come across many Scrap vans though - I've found one that was being stored at a Top Dog base and one randomly in the wasteland but I was mid convoy battle so couldn't grab it.

actually the best way is to collect the scrap containers after a storm those give you about 1000 scrap.
Admiral Woofington

Yeah I found the top dog one. Thanks for the heads up.
Alethebeer

Yes and it scales very well with
the ability you take and improve by Griffa
Does anyone know if adding in a scrap stockpile actually does anything to improve Jeet's base? I accidentally did so but I have not seen any real affect and its description almost seems like you add it for nothing really.
I had no idea this was an option. How do you get it to go to first person mode?

that is great...is this a PC only feature?
Also, is the first person driving a PC only feature too? I can't seem to change it on my PS4.

Yeah it's driving me crazy too. I'm using the alternate control scheme where square is supposed to be the handbreak but I can't figure out how to use it in game.
EDIT: Maybe it's supposed to be circle and I've just been an idiot the whole time. Will verify tonight.

Take chum's buggy for a spin around. You get close to one and the dog will lead you to it even if it's not already marked on the map.

All platforms. I think you need a second controller(and a helping hand I guess) to move the camera while playing etc.
