games

So I bought the game years ago when Feral did the Linux port to support the company, played it a bit but got burned out form the base-taking gameplay loop. Sort of the hallmark of open world games of that era I guess.

But I've been on a huge Mad Max lore dive lately and even though the game only barrows the aesthetics, I figured while I am binging the old trilogy and the Fury Road/Furiosa/and soon Wasteland trilogy, I might give it another go. This time around I am accepting it as the grindy base-taking game that it is and just gonna have dumb fun with it. I just wish they would have stuck a bit closer to the lore. The game would have fit in, had they had just called Rictus, Rictus instead of fucking it up and calling him Scrotus. Had they done that, I feel like it could sort of fit right after Fury Road for the most part. I guess Miller said fuck it and dipped because the devs wanted to go their own way. I'm gonna just try and continue with my head canon that ties all the movies together as they are tall tales being told by the now older lost kid tribe at the end of Thunderdome and the facts aren't always correct lol.
