Honest thoughts on the ending of Mad Max?

I wasn't a fan. They spent the entire game trying to make the player feel sympathy for Max, then threw everything away when he kills Chumbucket

Chumbucket did NOTHING wrong

Also,

>>15669
>They spent the entire game trying to make the player feel sympathy for Max
Not really, most of the time he acted like a shit. Also he warned Chum to get off.
>>15670
He directly caused the deaths the Hope and Glory.

>>15671
>He directly caused the deaths the Hope and Glory.

This, if he didn't drive off like a coward while leaving max behind then they both would've lived longer at least.

I don't even remember lol

Why?

i assume because he was just using hope and glory as a replacement to his family and didn't really care about them

Was it ever explained why he drove back to the tanker?

The game world felt weird to me. It was like a madlibs version of Mad Max. Where was the fucking the bikes and sports gear?

>>15682
Having my first playthrough and its fun so far. In the pink eye territory right now - the place is awesome

It was like an inverted Road Warrior ending. He gets his car back but at the cost of his humanity.

>>15686
Doesnt Fury road starts after the game? Or I got it backwards?

>>15668
I just beat this the other day.

GOAT game imo, I liked the ending. He went from Mad Max to full on PISSED Max. That's the Max I like. Goody-goody Max isn't nearly as cool.

>>15687
Yes, the game takes place before Fury Road

>>15687
If it is to fit into canon at all it probably takes place before Road Warrior since he loses the car in that one.

It's definitely not before the Road Warrior. RW is only three years after the first film.

>>15691
Says the director, who also said he doesn't really give a shit and later made Max's kid a girl for no reason so I don't trust him. IMO it's been way longer than 3-5 years. Hell in Fury Road it's supposed to be 20 years later and Max is still in his early 30s.

tl;dr the timeline is more fucked than Zelda's

Well, when you decide to do the fourth movie in a franchise decades after the third, you're going to run into these problems.

The girl isn't Max's kid, though. It's the kid who you fail to save in the game, who was also in the comics, which also may or may not be canon.

Yeah but in RW it gets blown up and in Thunderdome he doesn't have it at all

Honestly Chumbucket should've just hung onto the car and crashed but still be left alive on the ground so they could use him in the future if anyone wanted. He was funny and a good character. Burning him was totally unnecessary.

I was confused by the post-game. I wanted to 100% it, but I had Chumbucket back for some reason and the Magnum Opus. You at least get the Road Warrior gear and shotgun to replace that tacticool shit you end up with, but I just wanted to cruise around in the Interceptor.

>>15694
Max can't remember his wife and kid anymore, so he mentally fused them into one being- a little girl. This comes from Fury Road interviews

That's a pretty cool idea, actually. Plausible, too, given how much time has passed and how much shit he's had to deal with since.

>>15703
Post-game is non canon, it just rewound time to have that character back because you need his elite harpoon skills. Don't think too much about it.

I wanted to cruise in the Interceptor too but the game demanded I use harpoons to pull on things so I couldn't.

>>15705

Okay I notice here the ground is pure dirt and really brown. The first time I saw this movie that's how I remember it.

Now when I go to watch it every version I've seen since then has a shit ton of green plants and grass all over the wasteland and it ruins it for me. How many version of this movie are there and which is the one that is all brown so I can buy that one?

>>15707
Why would that ruin it for you? It's still the pre-nuclear outback.

they never mention if the black on black was max's original car. it's entirely possible he just either repaired it (i forget how badly that explosion at the end of RW damaged it) or just built another. if chum can do it max certainly can

>>15691
this, the level of entropy and decay in the game world implies it's a generation or so after the fall

>>15705
They reference Max's loss of time in the game too. If you meet Griffa, he has a chance of saying the following
>GRIFFA: "Do you even know what year it is?"
>"How old are you? Do you even know?"
>MAX: "...I-I don't. Not anymore"

>>15708
I just like the idea of an "all is lost" feel that I originally got. Having it be so lush doesn't feel right.

>>15670
Chumbucket is a backstabbing cunt.

>>15709
>the level of entropy and decay in the game world implies it's a generation or so after the fall

True, but then it makes even less sense. People forgot the words for sniper rifle and dog as if they grew up never knowing the pre-apocalypse world, but then there's Max who is younger than them who does remember it.

I know MMOs are a dying genre, but I think if you had a Mad Max MMO set in the Outback with the focus purely on the vehicles (no bamham combat) with an emphasis on PvP, then you'd be onto something.

>>15714
Convoys needed to be much bigger, with more ridiculous rigs, but I guess the game was made with console limitations in mind. And it needed more crazy driving shit, and less walking around punchy punchy shit. Beating random wastelanders to death for scrap was really out of character for him, as was killing chumbucket, even though chumbucket was really fucking annoying.

>>15714
Yep, this game was just a few tweaks away from being perfect. I think they rushed it out the door to meet the demand after the movie, just needed a little more work

Yeah, there's a line for Max's dickishness to people. Gauge it with his interactions with the Gyrocaptain. He goes from threatening his life in exchange for something, to pushing him around, to finally sharing a smile with him at the end. Bludgeoning random passersby for scrap metal just isn't a Max thing.

>>15727
To be fair pretty much all of them attacked him first.

>>15726
that's the point, he's a heartless asshole who pushes people that are sympathetic towards him away in order to hunt for something that doesn't exist anymore

>>15727
the game really needed a third faction that you would encounter out in the world that wouldn't attack you on site. Maybe the war boys would attack them and you could help them.

> He directly caused the deaths the Hope and Glory.

Max directly caused the deaths of Hope and Glory when he abandoned them in hostile territory after winning them in the race. They were his property at that point and he just left them standing there to chase after a car that wasn't even his. There was no reason he couldn't have taken them along and dropped them off at Chumbucket's old place. No reason whatsoever. That ending really made Max look like a complete asshole. He's enraged at the torture and deaths of people he didn't even give enough of a shit about to take with him to reclaim the car.

Beautiful game ruined by the open world meme.

>Go here destroy this outpost
>Go here get that scrap
>Go here get these parts for our buildings
>Go here to get that and this

Either than that, it was pretty nice. The different sounds of the engine with exhausts.

I loved that part, but they sucked the fun of the Mad Max lore. There wasn't many moments in the game where I went; "Holy shit that was fucking awesome" until the end.

It was just one race to the next doing the same thing, TO THE SAME FUCKING BOSS MOVE SET.

That's pretty true but if you're the type of person that loves to just drive around a vast post-apocalyptic setting to see what you can find (yes. yes, it's all on the minimap if you want it to be) then it's pretty damn fun.

Loved the game, fucking hated the end.
It made no sense. The shoehorned him by giving him everything he could ever want then forced him to throw it all away for a ending that was only worth of a M. Night Shyamala™ movie and a rotten tomatoes score.
The ending was worse then stank gums dental plan.

Just watched it again the other night because it was free on Comcast. Honestly the whole movie is just one big build up to the final awesome 10 minutes.

>>15761
At last an anon who gets it. Its exactly that.

They needed more convoys to fight. Have the factions take back roads. I loved taking on 5-6 cars at once. Fighting 2-3 in random spots wasn't the same.

>>15766

Yeah, its definitely got a different feel to it than the other Mad Max films.

Aside from the awesome chase scene with the Nightrider at the start most of the film is a surprisingly slow burn building up Max's character. But all that pent up rage through the whole film makes the ending really satisfying.

Only thing that legit pissed me off after awhile was having to hold A/X to do literally everything. So many times I just wanted to climb the ladder and he'd drop his weapon instead.

>>15768
It needed more rewards to collect.
Reminder that getting all of the Immortan joe insignias gives you nothing

There's only one version of The Road Warrior.

Some parts of it are filmed in pure sandy desert others are filmed in dirty outback. It's like real life. The only one that has a pure lifeless desert is Fury Road which is much more stylised and fantastical than the others.

>>15713
The world didn't end in one cataclysmic event. Economic and Enviromental collapse had been happening for years. Mad Max 1 is obviously more civilised than later ones, but who knows what state the rest of the world is in. People get confused because Road Warrior looks post nuclear apocalyptic, but that's just what Australia looks like. Nuclear in mad max was only ever limited to minor exchanges, it's not like Fallout where the whole world got blown up. Maybe a few capital cities that lead to society collapsing.

Nuclear war was serious in Mad Max. As serious as Fallouts. Fallout actually word for word rips Mad Max's premise

What was cool how was 50% of the game you're actually exploring the undersea now exposed. Never seen that before in a game.

But then where did all the water go?

>>15777
In Max 1 the gangs ruled the highways and its implied all of central Australia. Max 2 is basically just set in the gang territory. Society doesn't collapse until halfway between 2 and 3.

Yeah, really bristles my balls when people think Road Warrior is after a nuclear apocalypse. In Mad Max you can tell that the infrastructure is rapidly falling apart and the roads are basically lawless and incredibly dangerous, with bikers running rampant. Road Warrior is just set way out in the middle of nowhere with the country in a state of anarchy and civilised society being 'over'.

No, it showed stock footage from World War II, but no nukes. Miller said he purposely avoided it being post-nuclear because he didn't want to bogged down in details regarding mutations and radiation poisoning. This preamble I'm dumping was penned by Miller himself.

Mad max 2 confirms nuclear war happened. In the game it sort of expands on it that people were fighting last ditch special operations to end the war
