Played a couple more hours. Same verdict: it’s fun as a destructible sandbox but the game around it seems paper thin. Also, to the poster above me - they 100% do this. As your lines push outward you run into way fewer enemies just out in the world. Kinda mad I got it at full price, probably should have held off on this one.

poo poo... You know what? I'm gonna get a refund on this. Smash Bros comes out on Friday and its all but guaranteed that this will drop to $40 in a month or so. edit: But on the otherhand I have the money to spare and would like to support Avalanche. Ugh.

Pah, another "Releases on the 4th!" (at 5pm) gently caress-you-UK release time. I'm still gonna give this game a whirl but if they don't pull it off, I'm gonna lose all my faith in Just Cause. Glad to hear the A-Team is behind RAGE 2 because that thing looks fun as gently caress

playing on xbox one x and can confirm the game is a big ugly mess. in addition to what has already been covered: -worst looking water ive seen in a game since like the 90's. JC2 was photorealistic in comparison. got in a boat at one point and it had no wake nor any other impact of the water's surface it was just gliding across like it was ice. the water itself looked like tiles from planescape torment or some poo poo -they tried to do some effect on helicopter blades i guess to make them look the way they do on film, but what it actually looks like is the helicopters have a motionless flat star transparency.gif on top of them and it looks terrible -the control/menu system is baffling -its super easy to get stuck inside the geometry of various vehicles and buildings basically the whole thing has a feeling like they didnt start working on the game until like a month ago and slapped the whole thing together in a mad drunk rush i have had some fun moments and am looking forward to exploring the world but man I hope they fix this poo poo its the ugliest AAA game in a long long time Earwicker fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Dec 4, 2018 |

There is something badly wrong with the LOD settings on consoles. Seems fine to me on PC tho edit: Its really jarring going from 4k ultra gameplay to 1080x30 cutscenes then back. All the cutscenes look in engine so I have no idea why its not just doing the animation in engine. Byolante fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Dec 4, 2018 |

Was avalanche bought out by Bethesda/zenimax or something? The way they are cashing in on their "good" name seems very short sighted...

Among my hottest arsenal of takes is that Avalanche is actually a bad studio with an incredible one hit wonder (JC2) and a slowly increasing slew of other bad to mediocre games. Proof, subjective such as it is, keeps piling up and I think RAGE 2 and Generation Zero, their 60s Scandanavian robot L4D should round it out nicely. I'm not as happy about it as that implies though, JC2 was loving incredible and now all of this.

Okay the new tethers system is loving hilarious. It’s basically Fulton 2.0. I ripped a giant steel exploding testicle out of the loving ground and it flopped around like an idiot before causing a massive explosion.

mad max had much better ground vehicle handling than jc3 (or jc4) and a more interesting world than expected given what they had to work with, but the combat was extremely boring and repetitive and the game didnt really have that fun free feeling of jc2 im definitely starting to buy the theory that jc2 was a weird fluke of luck and in general these people just dont make very good games. too bad its a great concept but they really hosed up the execution twice in a row now

This game randomly looks impressively bad on my PS Pro. The lighting effects often go bonkers, there's a lot of screen door effect on the far away landscapes and a lot of the textures just don't look that great. The performance seems to be rock-solid though. I liked 2 & 3 (and Max) but this feels like a definite "wait till it's patched and on sale" game. Everybody's bitching about Bethesda's massive gently caress-up but Square Enix has now put out this, the Quiet Man and Shadow of the Tomb Raider in less than two months.

The Twitch streams that I tried to watch in US primetime afternoon/evening were atrociously bad. And I mean unwatchable from the people that were granted "promo/advance copies" and tried to act all PERSONALITY-Online. Cmon marketing teams. Your game was made to look horrible by garbage people.

I am having a ton of fun so far, but I haven't done any story past unlocking a few things like air drops and some grappling accessories. I just like tearing up all the bases and raising hell. I have a 1080, and I7 and 32GB of ram and it seems to be running really smooth, no crashes. A few really funny glitches to look out for though, I have seen more than once civilian helicopters just fly into bad guy helicopters during combat.

InsertPotPun posted:Who cares about graphics? Are the enemies still god-like bullet sponges who can hit you from waaaaaaay far away? Are you still constantly being shot so standing still for 5 seconds is a death sentence? Can you actually use a helicopter without it being blown up by constantly spawning rocket launcher guys and/or AA guns that rocket you down with half a second warning? Can I drive for 5 seconds before ROCKETING my car over a cliff by accident or have each and every constantly spawning enemy vehicle always outrunning any vehicle and flawlessly ramming the front making escape all but impossible? Can I derail a train or tie balloons to it? Is it playable and fun? I don't want to seem like I only want to poo poo on the game but....it's even worse than the previous games now. High level enemies (tanks, snipers, rocket launcher guys) spawn instantly. The enemy response doesn't "scale" it's balls to the wall from the getgo. And even worse, the helicopters do not spawn alone any more, there are always at least 2 of them so when you grapple to one of them you are instantly, loving instantly, hit with a homing missile before you can even get into the chopper. There is also a new enemy type that is like the sniper but instead of a sniper rifle he has a rocket launcher and his "homing beam" is green instead of red. So you know how the snipers were impossible to avoid now you have these guys too. The game is seriously difficult, I failed the first mission (after the intro) several times after the truck you are supposed to escort got blown up by the insane amount of enemies that spawned constantly. And yes, the enemies still spawn right behind your back, just like in JC3. I had a mission where I needed to "hack" 6 computers in 2 minutes, the were so many enemies and despite just beelining for the computers and actually doing quite well at avoiding getting hit I beat the mission with half a second to spare, if I had stopped to shoot even 1 guy I would have failed. I have never refunded a game before and I have bought some real-rear end stinkers but this game....man.

I figured this game had a retarded difficulty level, watching the enemy introduction video of theirs a while back. Usually I tend to switch to Easy mode to have fun, but sounds like this will be an issue this time around.

I have played about 4 hours now and i am having a lot of fun. All the tether attachments allow for very silly things like riding a giant gas ball into an enemy base then dropping it onto the main cannon or making a rocket chariot out of a shipping container and a gas silo.
