"You won't believe it! Exclusive here on Gametrailers, and it starts right nooooowwww!"
Watching them play most of the sequences as if MP3 was a cover shooter and then not even using bullet time correctly when they do use it is pretty hilarious.

Congrats to everyone that will help GT meet their quota this month.

perfect. lol
Considering how they score games, a 7.6 from Gametrailers is like a 6 from Eurogamer. They are the perfect example of a 8-10 review scale.
lol wat?
gametrailers the site that has only "videogame-trailers" without having a working video player??
sure,ok.....

Wow the random words that flash during cutscenes is a really stupid touch.
Gameplay also looks very repetitive and the story doesn't seem interesting at all. Think I'll pass.

So how does it being a good game make it a good max payne game? Thats some pretty broken logic.

They don't seem to be big fans of the single player portion. They call out the badly scripted slow-mo set pieces, how the cover system trumps all the slow-mo diving and the best strat is doing slow-mo headshots, how aiming isn't as intuitive as it should be, the weird transition between cutscenes and gameplay(your cover is often blown because of a cutscene to mask the loading time, then the gameplay cuts back and you have a completely different weapon in your hand because...?).
They really like the multiplayer though, as most of the single player's problems don't really effect it

I'm expecting a lot of 7s and 8s. I imagine this'll all pan out to be a cult hit, just like the first two games.

I've disagreed with almost everything Jim Sterling has said in his reviews on games that I've played, so his reviews tend be worthless to me. Most of the things he picks on are absolutely ridiculous to me.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
- Story doesn't entirely gel or something
- Visual quirks in cutscenes are annoying
- Multiplayer is awesome!
- Violence is awesome!

Kinda surprised by GT's review, but I'll watch it in a bit to see what they have to say.

An 8.5 game at higher resolution is still an 8.5 game.

Because if it wasn't like the other 2 games then a handful of these critics would mention it. And from what I've read, they haven't.
8.5? Na, that's too high. More like a 7.6 game.
Controls can make a huge difference.

Odd that you got this from a few clips. Have you played a Max Payne game before?

"But Max Payne 3 is no mere tribute to action cinema. There's a chance it points toward a future in which action movies aren't merely copied by games, they are replaced."
Oh, dear god.
I played about an hour of the first one last night and found it to be okay, but kind of repetitive. Nothing story wise really pulled me in and the shooting/slow-mo mechanics didn't do much for me.
Anyway, just speaking personally here. I may not know how the story plays out from just a few clips, but what I'm seeing looks pretty dumb. I can judge what I'm seeing.

I imagine they take those shitty cutscenes with the Tony Scott visual effects and random words into consideration.

I'm most worried about the reports of bad shooting mechanics. A TPS shouldn't have controls that make it hard to accurately shoot. I always had the suspicion the europhea engine negatively affected responsive and accurate controls based off GTA4 and RDR but this just might confirm it.

Well the cutscene effects are annoying, I havent even played the game and it sucks.
And the floating words are stupid, I think everybody would rather have had comic book cutscenes then go into a SHORT real cutscene and then go into gameplay flawlessly.
What reports? It's probably journo's sucking at games OR it's really bad

I think it might replace the classic "Oscar Worthy Story" quotes. How unbelievably over the top, even by gaming journalist standards.

9.25 from Game Informer.

That's a possibility. Another one would be that after years of pop and shoot TPS the reviewer had a hard time getting used to MP's specific type of gunplay.
