Can Someone Explain to me the Point of Driving Any Other Car Besides the Magnum Opus?

[Trog]

Seriously why is driving other cars in the game even an option? It's pretty much impossible to defend yourself from enemies whilst driving since you don't have the harpoon/thunderpoon or Chumbucket to repair your vehicle after you get completely annihilated. The shotgun is the only line of defense when on your own, but even then I always run out of ammo and I have the Skirmish Bandoleer which holds 6 shells. Please someone enlighten me.

I suppose there so you can approach that clans site without being detected and thus miss snipers and thunder bombs.
Ive never used them other than racing so i cant say for sure.

95% of the time use it for races only,or dog buggy for mine disabling,enemy vechiles which can drop infinte mines is fun to use the 5% of the time.Or driving the scrap vechile to the stronghold for 500 scrap.

Otherwise Mangum Opus is always prefered what a shame as there are tons of vechiles most of them are useless past very early game.

I've figured those things out already, but I would think that other vehicles would have more uses than just that.

Driving the scrap vehicle to a stronghold is a good thing to know since I've always just blown them up in the past. I've had this game since launch, but only recently finished it a few days ago because I wanted to drive around solo with the Interceptor, but now I've realized that it's practically useless in the Dead Barrens and the Dump (which is over half the map) because of all the convoys of heavily armored high level enemies. Seriously what a wasted opportunity for having tons of vehicles in the game which are only good for like one or two things that aren't even combat related. What an assload of ♥♥♥♥.

Well... I feel you are getting angry over something that actually isn't a problem.

See, they encourage you to use the MO because it's YOURS! It's to be built how you desire thus your creation.

Other vehicles serve as Scrap or Collections, nothing else since the game very clearely makes it a point that they don't have much use.

The OG Intercepter is a Collectable, not a Actual In-Game Use car as we see it get destroyed, thus the fact you have it is technically a "Non-Canon" thing.

Often times getting mad over these doesn't solve anything... they aren't ment as your main mode of transportation. It should be obvious.

I mean, there are a couple of challenges that require to use one of those cars. But yeah, getting mad over something that doesn't actually affect you, kinda pointless.

Yes, plus as a Dev would I rather listen to the Guy who's being Calm, Reasonable and actually explaining why something is a Issue... or the Dude who is Screaming his Head Off and being a C*nt about the same issue?

There's ton of vehicles in GTA as well, no one complains they all don't have a specific purpose for the player to use them.

The OP's right, of course, Why have a collection that is 90% useless? Surely Chum's black fingers could install some cool mods on these cars.
If only they would let us mod this game!

Nope, they are collectables only.

That's why they are in the "Collections" Tab.

If they were just collectibles you couldn't drive them but they are driveables and most are pretty useless. I especially would like to have the Interceptor able to be modded.

I know that they aren't meant as a made mode of transportation, that's exactly what my criticism is after finishing the game and I'm not actually mad, more so just playing up my emotions. But still quite frustrated. I think having an arsenal of vehicles with only a handful that are viable for combat is a bizarre choice both by game design standards and from a lore/story perspective. If you're not a big fan of the movies, it would be easy to shrug this sort of thing off, but being a huge fan of the series myself it's a massive disappointment. Especially considering how often we see Max in the films getting in and out of vehicles as well as himself and other characters re-purposing enemy vehicles or broken down vehicles they find in the environment. IMO all of the vehicles you find in the game should be customization and combat viable. For me that's just a no-brainer for a Mad Max game.

Well this game is from 2015 and I don't think I would convince the devs to reconsider completely revamping the gameplay in 2021 even if I asked politely. Not exactly sure what you are getting at here, nor why you think I'm screaming my head off and being a c*nt. Seems like you are kind of doing the same thing by your own standards as I would rather prefer to have calm and reasonable discourse as well.

Thank you. Someone who finally understands that doesn't think I'm being dumb and not knowing how to play the game and that I'm actually critiquing the very core elements of the gameplay. I very much so appreciate it. Hopefully modding will come to fruition some day, because this game definitely needs it. Would especially love to see motorcycles!

Well you pretty much nailed my main criticism on the head. They shouldn't be just collectibles.
