Max Payne 3 - Discuss!

[Carrion]

You were no longer immortal while shootdodging

Bullshit. Bullets were still hitting you in slo-mo just as well as ever. Try jumping in front of a shotgun and see Max almost insta-die in slo-mo

That's the case in MP2. In the first MP you couldn't die while doing this. Drop a grenade right at your feet and do a shootdodge jump right when it goes off. You take maximum damage but stay alive. Works with shotguns as well. You can jump down from balconies and other high places this way without dying and get to areas you shouldn't be able to get to.

MP2 was slower when it comes to action, enemies were less dangerous and weren't overflowing you with bullets like in MP1 plus they included the play-as-Mona part where you just pick off enemies with a sniper rifle from a static position which is extremely popular in console shooters for obvious reasons

The enemies were more dangerous in MP only because of the supernatural reaction times and HP bloat. Otherwise they were dumb as hell and you could easily exploit their scripted behavior. MP2 massively improved the AI and made the enemies behave in less predictable ways, even though it was still nothing special. MP was mostly about clearing small rooms of 2-4 enemies (with a few notable exceptions), but MP2 had some more complex fights that included stuff like sharpshooters taking shots and throwing grenades at you from balconies while the usual bunch of goons with shotguns and machine pistols tried to turn you into Swiss cheese. Of course, both games were still piss-easy, but that was never really a problem.

MP2 added lots of stuff that simply made killing people much more enjoyable. Ragdolls, physics, lethal headshots, improved shootdodge (you could keep shooting even when lying on the ground) and a bunch of other minor improvements really made the overall feel of the game better. I played the shit out of the first MP and finished it about twenty times, but when MP2 came out, I never looked back.

I can tell from experience that eating a bullet in slow-mo was lethal in MP1.

The thing about both Max Payne's is I got bored half way through with both of them. The second one had novelty because from my perspective it was like Counter-Strike: Source. Max Payne, but with physics and nice graphics!

In the first one the story was hilarious but not exactly interesting. In the second one... I liked it until it turned out who the villain was.

The gameplay themselves is kinda boring but I severely enjoyed the mods for Max Payne, like the kung fu one.

Can't say I want to play Max Payne again.

 

[Teepo]

Payne wasn't balding.

Maybe he was geting grey? All thesre worries geting to him?
I just found out that I am geting grey. I consider shaving damned thing off.

Don't wine about grey hair to me. I'm getting bald dammit, that's much worse.

Ehehehe. I'm starting to bald too and I just turned 22. Though I hear I'm doing better then my dad who started balding in 8th grade.

 

[BLOBERT]

BROS PCTARDS NOWADAYS LAP UP ANY CONSOLETARD SHIT LIKE MAX PAYNE WITH SPECIAL CHEAT MODE I MEAN BULLET TIME

SOME SUCKERS BUY ANY GIMMICK THAT COMES ALONG AND NOW TO SAVE CRED THEY ARE ALL LIKE OH THE BRO SHAVED HIS HEAD THAT IS SO POPAMOLE

BROS IN 5 YEARS THE SAME BROS WILL POST THAT HALO WAS AWESOME BUT HALO 7 SUCKS BECAUSE MASTERCHEF CAN CARRY 3 GUNS EVERYONE KNOWS HE CAN ONLY CARRY 2

 

[Teepo]

Dude I know. It's fallout 3 all over again.

Games with shit writing and awesome buttons everywhere...

 

[DemonKing]

The first two Max Payne's were great, albeit fairly short and primarily single-player experiences. They pioneered the use of bullet time although sadly I think it reached it's zenith with the original FEAR game as nothing released since then has really added much to the concept.

Can't say I care for pudgy. bald Max much but will no doubt be picking the game up in any case.

 

[Nattvardsvin]

Max Payne 3 is the title for this game that is something other than a Max Payne game.
Hmm, interesting.. Well not really.

"MP2 was slower when it comes to action, enemies were less dangerous and weren't overflowing you with bullets like in MP1 plus they included the play-as-Mona part where you just pick off enemies with a sniper rifle from a static position which is extremely popular in console shooters for obvious reasons "

LOL, typical skyway. Try playing the game on the hardest settings and then tell me if the enemies don't "overflow you with bullets". I don't see how the game is any slower in relation to MP1 or how a short section can turn an entire game into dumbed down console popamole. MP2 is basically MP1 made better, only the one and only skyway to say the prequel was better.

 

[Stinger]

MP2 also didn't have any regen health iirc. While MP1 had the last 1/4 of your health always regen.

You're gonna download a statue and keychain from Pirate Bay too?

You can download the picture if it. Practically they are as useful as the real statue: not at all.

Aaaannnd, nope I will not be getting this Rockstar action game.

I don't care about the statue and keychain, and they are completely valid items to have in a collector's edition.

Lots of people pay that much and more for standard edition in australia. There are non-retail ways of buying cheaper, but when all of the publishers apply these ridiculous mark ups to the steam store, well I don't feel like ever buying anything from them again so I go off to TPB.

Max Payne 3 Weapons & Targeting Episode 2

 

[Rhalle]

I'm psyched. Looks like the game Remedy should have made, but better.

These incredible animations, that are more actual work than Bethshit or Bioshit have done in a decade?

And Max's original voice actor? And the awesome MP2 soundtrack?

Please God, let it come to PC.

 

[The Boring Incarnation]

Can we tax the words "cinematic", "epic" and "immersive" in marketing for games? Every time I hear them I think I die a little bit inside.

Also, the game has been delayed to May.

There's a page on Steam, so it's coming. Problem is how will it come to the PC. Rockstar has... issues when it comes to their ports.

 

[SoupNazi]

It doesn't look as abad as you'd expect but I wish it had at least any noir at ll and it doesn't.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

The fact that the new bald and bearded Max looks so much like Dustin Browder destroys the whole experience for me.

Max Payne 3 Weapons & Targeting Episode 2

Fuck me. R* got some killer engine there.

And all this shit can run on old console hardware?

I'm talking about 256MB RAM and 256MB VRAM.

Where is your god now, Skyshit?

 

[The Boring Incarnation]

I do miss the face of the first one.

 

[Menckenstein]

Funny as hell. It was the worst thing I could think of.

 

[RPGMaster]

Evolution my arse. This looks exactly like Stranglehold (2007).
