Really wish there was a option to save photo / video filter settings.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong with trying to kill the War Crier in camps. When surrounded by a group of enemies it can be really tricky to aim my shotgun at the War Crier and not auto lock on to the enemies, is there something I'm missing?

That happens to me too. I think there's a auto lock check box in options.
But it does help to be looking up at the War Crier.

I usually fudged it by leading enemies away from him and then running back to aim since it looks like it takes closest distance into account.

Just got to Pink-Eye's region yesterday. Is it me or is the frame rate fucked in some areas?

 

[sfried]

Just wondering guys: What does RefreshRate = 0 in the settings.ini do? Can I tweak this to make it RefreshRate = 60 to cap my framerates (since my monitor doesn't go beyond 60hz anyway)?

Not sure but you can use RivaTuner to cap your FPS to 60 if you don't want to use Vsync for whatever reason. Rivatuner capped at 60, with Borderless window mode and no vsync is my go to on most games for the most smoothness.

RivaTuner? I have an AMD card mind you.

I have an AMD card too, RivaTuner works with any card, it's just a program that caps the framerate of any game to whatever you want. For me, in game vysnc sometimes introduces input lag and weird frame pacing problems, and Rivatuner helps with that, there's an article by Durante on PCGamer that has more info on it if you want to read it.

Okay, I just found it odd since the game ran quite well up to this area. Like they ran out of time to polish or something.

Yeah, the performance takes a dive in that area. A shame, and Avalanche has been completely silent regarding a patch of any kind.

Does AMD's Catalyst Control Center framerate limiter work just as good?

I'm not sure I haven't used it personally.

well.. finally:

 

[backflip10019]

I feel like I'm stuck in the story. I don't have any main or side missions left, and I think I need to unlock the first Archangel to progress. It says I need to finish the Wasteland Classic mission to complete the car but I don't see that anywhere on my map. Can someone point me in the right direction?

How far in are you? I think I know what you're talking about but want to make sure

 

[backflip10019]

8-9 hours or so? Still in Jeet's territory.

 

[bananafactory]

8-9 hours or so? Still in Jeet's territory.

Iirc there a mission in Jeets where the goal is simply "reduce the threat" and you just have to eliminate some camps or scarecrows. Do you at least have an objective even if theres no map marker?

 

[SJRB]

8-9 hours or so? Still in Jeet's territory.

Be sure you've equipped the car parts the game wants you to equip.

By this point you probably have stronger parts than the game requires for the Archangel, so you have to downgrade some stuff.

Pay close attention to the car parts marked with a little green dot.

Nope no marker or objective. I've also taken out almost every camp.

Ah, that's probably it. I was wondering what the green dots were. Wish they explained it better.

Thanks guys.

WOW

Can't. Stop. Playing. This. Game.

Having a blast.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Jeet's territory 100% done, finding that last mine field was really starting to piss me off though.

I just did the same thing last night and had a problem with the minefields also, they didn't show up in one of his territories so I had to haul ass all around town in the buggy to try and find it.

I know I am asking this question in a Mad Max thread but I kind of need an unbiased answer.

If I could only get either Arkham Knight or Mad Max, which one should I get?

Even if I hadn't played Mad Max I'd recommend it. I found Arkham Knight horribly disappointing and the Batmobile stuff is as bad as everyone would have you believe

Mad Max

 

[SJRB]

That is an extremely difficult question to answer, since aside from both being an open-world game they are nothing alike.

For me Arkham Knight was the better experience. The narrative and pacing are tight and it has some remarkably clever gameplay moments. It is however also the more frustrating game of the two because of the overuse of Batmobile battles. The sidemissions are more diverse and the side quests are interesting.

Mad Max is a great game to just "mellow out". You drive around this abandoned wasteland, wreck a car or two while you're on your way to the next waypoint on your checklist to take down yet another stronghold. The story isn't particularly engaging and the core gameplay revolves around grinding for scraps. As long as you're okay with that though and accept it for what it is, it's an excellent[yet somewhat shallow] experience.

They're both visually incredible in their own right, but looking at the total package my vote goes to Arkham Knight.

Do you guys have Survey Crew? I'm not sure if it shows extra minefields once set up but it might be the reason the field didn't show. Maybe.

Sadly it doesn't show anything other than scrap locations, so I had to drive around with the dog for ages to find it. I'll start on the next territory tomorrow. I'm hoping to have Mad Max finished before the Uncharted Collection hits.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Am I the only one who's experiencing input delay? I've tried all the tricks like deactivating vsync, not using a USB-hub and it still feels clunky as hell. Driving is almost impossible when it feels like you're controlling a heavy shopping cart on ice.

Feels the same to me but I assumed it was the vsync

 

[antitrop]

I'm also in the camp that would recommend Mad Max over Batman. They're both good and very similar in structure, but Magnum Opus >>> Batmobile

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I bought Batman on PC for like £7 in the hopes it would be fully fixed one day, so I haven't even touched it yet, whereas Mad Max is one of the best PC ports in a very long time. So if you're on PC I'd opt for the game you can play now.

Good overview. I like both but Batman probably edges it out. Then again, I also got Mad Max for $20 on PC which felt like a lot better value than Batman for $60.

Both get frustratingly repetitive in different ways. Batman probably nudges out Max as the better game by a hair though.

 

[Anteater]

i've only played AK for like 2hrs, so i can't recommend which game is better

but I can say mad max is a really shallow game though, what you read from this thread is what you're going to get, and nothing more, the combat and driving are really simplistic, it doesn't do a lot of things wrong but it doesn't have a lot of interesting mechanics either,.

I'd recommend mad max if you can get it for cheap and if you're in the mood for it.

 

[jediyoshi]

Definitely Arkham Knight for variety's sake. Much easier to burn yourself out on Mad Max since there's relatively much less going on as far as the difference gameplay loops.

The on foot combat is very straight forward but functional. The car combat is probably the closest we'll come to reliving Twisted Metal glory days as we remembered it at the time.

To be perfectly honest, Mad Max.

For me personally, Mad Max is a 9/10 and a 10/10 in the fun factor category. Batman is an 8/10 but it should have been a 9/10 but horrible non-existent boss fights, bad story, waste of characters, horrible overuse of the Bat mobile (compared to the Magnum Opus in Mad Max that does get used in a few missions but it makes sense and isn't overdone), and focusing the story on a character who shouldn't even be in the game anymore but that's another story. Here's the main difference - Mad Max is an insanely fun action packed game with excellent car combat and melee combat while Batman is quite simply the most disappointing game of 2015.

i've never played twisted metal lol, but car combat is a bit trivial after taking out the same vehicles a few times

Minefields were my least favourite part, didn't do any after the initial ones in Jeet's territory.

I even like having them around since you can use them to easily get rid of pursuers if you're in no mood for fighting - they won't follow you into minefields.

There was one time where an enemy vehicle actually did and ended up hitting a mine. One less I had to take care of when getting them all for the Trophy.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Thanks for the answers, guys. I decided to pick up Mad Max for 40 bucks and will wait for Arkham Knight to become cheaper.

The forced Batmobile sequences already had me worried, especially since a lot of my surrounding friends and colleagues said it is the most dissapointing game of the franchise.

I can not wait to start up Mad Max tomorrow. I am downloading it on the PS4 as we speak.

 

[Haunted]

Oh, you can definitely have some fun with the AI in this game, from ramming cars off the road to sending them over cliffs or luring enemies into bear traps.

 

[Lashley]

Having a blast playing this

Need more scrap so I can upgrade my harpoon to lvl 2

 

[Lorcain]

Although I finished the story last week, I'm still drawn back to the game to explore more of of the wasteland, take down more camps, complete races, and just enjoy the world of Mad Max.

Avalanche did something right because I never go back to an open world game after finishing the main story just to do stuff.

 

[Freezasaurus]

So I just have a tiny sliver to go to get the threat level down to 0 in Jeet's territory. I did most everything I can see. Do the Buzzard tunnels count toward that? Because I do have one of those left in the region.

I believe it's only scarecrows, snipers, camps, convoys and minefields. Hover over Jeet's stronghold on the map, it should tell you what's incomplete.

I'm not skipping ahead with the story, I found it progresses too quickly, my story quest is in Gas Town when I've only just finished Jeet's territory for example. I'm doing one territory at a time as I fear I won't go back if I finish the story.

 

[M.W.]

Ah, okay. Thanks.

It's the minefield(s) you haven't found yet. Hover the cursor over each area in Jeets and it will tell you in the upper right what's left.

I'm pretty sure I did all of the minefields already. When I say there's only a sliver left on the threat level, I mean a teeny tiny sliver.

Still probably a minefield. Go to each area of the territory and hit the left stick, it'll tell you what's missing.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Got Max's gear to Max™ level and I'm kind of bummed there isn't an option to change the appearance of my gear with the maxed stats, even looked for a mod. I'd love to have the leather jacket and classic Max look with the stats of the top tier stuff.
