No. The game won't even run if you haven't seen the movies

Serious answers...

Umm, no not really. The movies will give you a little information on Max and how he is and acts and the feel of the world of Mad Max but theres no connection. You should be able to just play the game and be fine.

Yes.
You can play the game without having seen the films.
There's no solid connection to any of the films, mostly the game is just set in the world of Mad Max. And not directly influenced by any of the stories in the filmes.

Of course, having seen the films you will have a greater understanding of Max and his reasons for why he is.
But, the wasteland and more importantly, the "event" that caused it has never really been truly explained. There's been some talk about it in the films, but nothing really in depth.

And, the game does reference a few things from the newest film, but nothing is directly related to the events of Fury Road.

classic comment. Great soh! lol

Yes you can, but I would recommend you to at least watch road warrior and fury road as there are some little hints in the game (1 is cool, but 3 kind of sucks). Road warrior is the best in the franchise in my opinion.

I have only seen Fury Road and the beginning of Mad Max (the first one) and I can say no. You don't need to know much to understand who Mad Max is or how the universe works.
