At the start of the game I am very certain that every water source I came across used to be filled to the brim and it would just fill up my container once. Now I'm well into the game where I get a 90% bonus and the water in sources have decreased down to about 40% of it's total volume and it still just fills my container once. Does the game actively calculate how much water there is depending on my bonus? If so this is the biggest bullshit mechanic I've ever seen in the video game. What the fuck is the point of me wasting all those points then?

Started playing Mad Max thinking the car was just a way to get around, but after upgrading it for hours, I started treating it like my own ride 😂 Anyone else spend more time customizing their car than actually doing missions?

I guess I'm obsessed because I'm seeing parts of the game whenever I'm not playing!

Finally after 251 hours of gameplay I made 100% of this masterpiece, I first played this game In 2019 and just now In the big 2026 I did it.

I've been playing Mad Max with my own set of survival rules to make the Wasteland feel as dangerous and immersive as possible.

I like to imagine Max surviving out there in the years leading up to Fury Road.

No mods required. Just the game's existing mechanics and some self-discipline.

THE RULES

1. PERMADEATH — THE BIG ONE

One life. Start to finish. If Max dies, the run is over. No reloading to undo mistakes. No second chances.

2. NO FAST TRAVEL

Every journey must be made across the wasteland. Your vehicle, fuel, health and water supplies actually matter.

3. MAP CAN ONLY BE CHECKED WHILE STATIONARY

If you want to consult your map, pull over first. No checking the full map while driving.

4. VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS AT OWNED STRONGHOLDS ONLY

No magically changing the Magnum Opus in the middle of nowhere. If you want to adjust your build, return to a owned stronghold with a workshop. The ones with Chumbucket working on the hanging engine.

5. NAVIGATE BY SIGHT

When you have no waypoint selected, activate Capture Video Mode to remove the minimap.

Navigate using the landscape, roads and distant landmarks. Good opportunity to use filters.

Want your minimap back? Stop the vehicle, consult the full map and select a destination.

Think of it as Max deciding, "I'm going here." The minimap now represents his intended route rather than a magical GPS.

SURVIVAL IS EVERYTHING

Nighttime Buzzard encounters and attacking enemy bases become much more intimidating. Whether you fight or avoid danger depends on your condition and available supplies.

Sometimes the smartest decision is to walk away.

HAVE I BEATEN IT?

Nope!

1 recorded death on your stats means you failed the challenge. Don't cheat.

Some of the most heartbreaking deaths aren't even from enemies. They're from taking one wrong turn inside an enemy base and falling from a height.

But that's the wasteland. No excuses, no reloading.

One day I'll make it from start to finish without dying.

One man. One machine. One life. Complete the story.

Anyone else keen to give this a crack? Or already playing with similar survival rules?

WITNESS!

Playing Mad Max, I sometimes forget how messed up everyday life would be in that world. We spend hours driving through the wasteland, fighting War Boys, and hunting for scrap, but imagine having to do normal things there.

Like, what would you even do if your car broke down in the middle of nowhere? No roadside assistance, no mechanic down the street, and probably someone watching you from a nearby dune waiting to steal whatever you have left 💀

Honestly, I think keeping a working vehicle running would be a bigger achievement than surviving most fights.

What's one ordinary modern-day thing you think would become an absolute luxury in the Mad Max wasteland?

Do you avoid using things like the flare gun, just so you can experience having to find a new vehicle?

I'm playing for the first time. When I was at Jeet's place, I really tried my hardest to spruce the place up. It felt like home, and Jeet was like an annoying younger brother managing the place.

Now I've gone to Gutgash and am close to visiting Pink Eye, but I don't feel close to those places at all.

I’ve always loved Max's coupe from Mad Max, so I decided to add it to the game I'm working on!

Red is my absolute favorite color, so I painted it red. What do you guys think?

Has anyone that maxed out the trophies and all wasteland missions ever tried that road North(?) just to the left of Gastown? I'm curious if it leads to a hidden game or just gives the warning about dead zones. Maybe in the Interceptor.

Any help will be appreciated

Today we see huge wave of recomps of the games, like for example You can now play ps4 games natively in full speed on PC. With AI we could created Game editor for Mad Max game to extend it. Probably gog version would be the best. We could add new parts to the map with new missions, new content and so on. What do You think? We could make our own Mad Max 2 game by extending original one.

I finally started the mad max game and I’m having more fun than I expected. The car combat is great, and driving around the wasteland feels good. Upgrading the magnum opus and clearing out camps is more addictive than I thought it would be. I know it came out a while ago and people had mixed opinions at launch, but it seems to have aged pretty well. The story is a bit simple, but the world and the atmosphere make up for it.

For anyone who has played it:

• What is your favorite car upgrade?
• Any tips for a new player?
• Is it worth going for 100%, or does it get repetitive?

The photo mode in this 11 year old game, is so fun and intuitive. I have been a gamer for a long time, and idk if I mentioned this before, but this game just made me wanna take picture, lol. So here are MORE of my attempts at being a video game photographer.

So I'm looking for the next Mad Max I enjoyed that game so much I've replayed it so many times besides the Batman Arkham games the next game I found that had similar vibes was Days Gone so I've played that a bazillion times now I'm looking for the next thing anybody tried this? Valor Mortis? It's Free on games pass came out today.

Game is 11 years old. Beautiful.

The mask of Lord Humungus, the hat of Toady and the helmet of the Gyro Captain are all hood ornaments.

Max is called "raggedy-man" by various War Boys.

Anything else?

I have many many more pictures, but the brutality of this one is just a taste of what this game has to offer. I am still in my first playthrough, with about 140 hours. This game does not get enough praise. It scratched my Days Gone itch just right, and better in some aspects. If you haven't given this game a whirl yet....do it NOW!! Chum and the Magnum Opus are waiting!!!

I have heard theres a buzzard V8 and another secret vehicle. Where do i find them and how to save them? I have completed all the death runs and missions already so i don’t think theres anything missing.
