What's It Like - Mad Max, Part 2
1This is "What's It Like" which basically gives you first impression of a game at about 25% of the way in. We take a look at Mad Max again, and now I'm about 20 hours in, or about half way through the game. This isn't a review, its not tips or strategies, and we never do an "early look" into an upcoming game either. I gave you a basic understanding of the game before, and now we're past all the tutorial stuff. I go through SEVERAL upgrades that you can finally do at 10 hour in, and i show you how limited the upgrade system is. It works in a much liner fashion then I originally thought. You should be able to start taking down convoys after 10 hours, provided you have upgrades. Then lastly we take a look at the map after 20 hours of play, and you can see how much I've done.
Sometimes I don't have time to review every game I want. So this series allows me to impulse buy a game and jump into a particular premise that may sound interesting, but if it turns out to be horrible, then I can tell you that quickly and then move on to another game. If I complete the game then I decide if it needs a proper review, especially if my initial thoughts have changed since my first look at it. Basically, its a great series when its Christmas time and a lot of game are releasing, or when it's Black Friday and a number of older games get heavy discounts. I can't do proper reviews on ALL the games I want, but I can do a number of "What's It Like" episodes and give people an idea of where to spend their money so they'll be most happy. Then, I can follow it up with regular reviews on the games that are worth it. It's also great for the free titles you get for Games With Gold on Xbox One, letting me get out a first impression for a game just in time when it becomes available.
This was video #068 when i originally made it for Upload on the Xbox One, published on (01-27-2016). This is "What's It Like #02" the second in the series, and it turned out to be a two-parter.
