Posted in PC performance thread, but this one gets more traffic and perhaps with some PS4 players here they can offer some guidance on PS4 v. (lower end) PC:
I have the i3 but went with 12gb RAM and a SSD. Anyone else go with this and can confirm it runs fine? Torn between getting on Steam or going PS4.
Also, I saw GMG had for $48 and CDKeys for $19 or so -- are they reputable? I used to think GMG was but didn't they have an issue a few months back?

I take it that you went straight to lowering the threat than doing anything else.
I'm little over 18 hours with Jeets threat level about half way on threat 1. I been in his region 90% of the time. Think the only things I have felt is a few scrap pieces and minefields.

We'd need to know your video card for any real advice, but I can say the PS4 version is very good looking and very stable 30 fps.
A lower end PC would struggle with this game...like most of all new games dude. What video card do you have? That is more important than a CPU imho at this time. I have played the game on PS4 and on two PC's..well my pc and roommates PC...my PC is running a 7970ghz Editi9on at 1200mhz core/1600 mem with a i7 3770k@4.8ghz...compared to the PS4...they look damn near identical. I personally went with PC only because it was a tad cheaper and the fact my PC is connected to my big screen plasma along with my PS4
A lower end PC would struggle man...remember dev's get far more out of console hardware than PC currently...Hopefully Dx12 will give PC gamers more out of their HW

It's the one that comes in the Alpha, let me look it up... it isn't great, though. Ah, here it is a NVIDIA GeForce GPU 2GB GDDR5

25 hours in, beat the final mission with Jeet and Gutgash's areas down to Threat Level 0 and the rest down to Threat Level 1. Talk about a surprise, bought it for £20 from GMG with fairly low expectations but the game's really bloody good. I rarely ever finish sandbox games (Exceptions being GTAV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA Vice City & Saints Row 2) so it's a testament to how good the game is that it held my attention long enough to get to the end of it! It's odd how this game has the same activity bloat as other modern sandbox games, but never got tedious or repetitive enough to discourage me from playing hours of the game at a time. Totally worth the price I paid! PC version runs fantastic as well. Avalanche know how to make good PC ports!
Also, here's my Max and Rig after beating the final mission...

Do enemies still appear after you got the threat level down to zero? I'm worried it will stop any more fights/car chase from happening again. And I don't see any "reset threat level" like reset outposts in Far Cry, or a NG+.

Buzzards are still aways around at night. And Roadkill faction gangs still pop up every now and then I think.
Over 20 hours in, and I cannot believe how much fun I'm having. This game scratches so many personal gaming itches it's ridiculous. So pleased with how this turned out.
One of my biggest concerns before release was that the Wasteland was going to be a boring, staid environment, but I continue to shake my head in amazement over how diverse, compelling and creative most of the locations are. Even simple scrap runs have taken me to some wonderfully unique areas.
So damn good. Haven't even taken the shrink wrap off of MGS V.

They had some issues with their Witcher 3 release, but I think that was worked out in the end.
I've been using them for a year and havent had any problems.

So if fuel is one of the most important things in the entire wasteland why does Max spend half the game blowing up Oil Wells. I can't imagine they have a lot of extra's lying around so they can keep the gas flowing...

Just installed it. OMG looks beautiful on my new Ultrawide monitor.. this is the game to test out the cinematic awesomeness.
Ok, so capture mode. How do i remove the black bars on left and right? i'm playing in 2056x1080 but it always crops it to 1080p.

Managed to beat Act 3, dropped some weight from my car and drove oddly slow in that event. I have to assume the target wasn't really racing independent of my speed/track placement.
I was worried about that, when
If that's true, I suspect I missed something.
Never spoke to Hope until reaching Gastown, and it seemed like she referred to events I missed, or blinked during.
seemingly jumped from Gutgash's place to Pink Eye's over the course of almost no game time at all for me.
Holy shit, haha.

Hmmm, does sound like I should get the PS4 version now and then pick up the PC version when it is *super* cheap (like < $10) just to have it for the future when I have a better computer. Thanks!
While I'll likely pick up for the PS4, that's good to hear -- I still buy quite a few PC games and this'll be an option.

So I went on a quest to find the load start screen area. Looking at it gave me a clue to the location.
Note: If you go far enough out the sandstorms end and you can see easily. I wish someone would make a mod to turn that off and the giant warring messing flashing on the screen. I like exploring, and yes i did run out of gas looking out in the big nothing.
lower right point
The road ends near the bridge
From that load screen point go south-west and you will find this random encounter testing station.
After finding this stuff I went to look for more, and there is more stuff out there.
Upper north
lower south, a map bug. I didn't find to many other buggy things like this, just a small hole in the map.
near the top edge of the map, it real is rocky in that region
south edge of the map gets sandy
heading east
I wont post other things, you can find them. The map is big, I just wish they would have used more of it!

So why didn't any of the Australians involved say that they're saying wrong? Maybe it's not meant to be pronounced right.
That's kinda how I'm justifying it in my head. Maybe most of them have only ever seen it written on a can?
Still bugs me though, ha.
Yeah, it is similar to how those unfamiliar with things like Bondi beach say Bondi (incorrectly saying dee instead of die).
I just figure the characters are either just thick as or they chose to intentionally say it different for whatever reason.

Beat a top dog last night and while I'm still enjoying it, there is a sense of boredom starting to creep in. The story missions aren't particularly exciting, the side missions and encounters are mostly garbage (although I did enjoy the one in the underpass where you come across a rig that looks almost identical to the one in Fury Road, but there's just not much to keep my interest right now.
You can't just focus on story missions as that leaves you pretty vulnerable in terms of upgrades but the side activities are so boring and repetitive that it's hard to muster any kind of motivation to continue doing them.

Is there any to force the day/night cycle? I've got 2 side quests left to do that need to be done at night and I've been driving round for a couple of hours and it's still high noon.

It's far from boring. Time for you to move on.

I'm working on Jeet's too... Doing jumps to get that water part (I think that's what I need to do). I'm very addicted to this game and I almost didn't purchase it. Crazy.
My second PS4 decided to go (within warranty) so I had a minor delay that made me all antsy. Thank god I have other stuff to play on different platforms.

I mean, it's fair if you think it's not. Everyone has their idea of what's boring, but suggesting it's time for me to move on because I'm not enjoying or finding as much as enjoyment as others is pretty unnecessary and a more hostile response than my post warranted.

I really like combat in Mad Max. I like how you need to block enemy and then kick it. In Batman games you just press counter and enemy is down. Main issue with MM combat is camera and variety. A few more moves beside basic attack, heavy attack and shotgun finisher would be welcomed.
I might try that, I could play without any problems yesterday night, just stayed in Jeet's and Gutgash's territories though, and so far the glitch has only happened when I've been in Pink Eye's territory.
So I'm going to test some more before reinstalling and what not, and if I have to start over from scratch, I'll more likely just drop the game altogether.
Bite the bullet and bought the game. Seems like a perfect game to play between sessions of MGS V. I'm only a few hours in but I'm already loving the photo mode. Just one question, is there a way to move the camera straight up or down?
Here's my first screenshot. Loving the explosions!

You labeled it as boring. You don't have to play it, that's all I was saying.

I won't push it, but I did say a sense of boredom was creeping in. It's not boring in the same way that Just Cause 2 was boring after a few hours, but there's a sense of that same kind of boredom slowly creeping in.
A good story mission or side activity would help...
