Max Payne 3 |OT| Funny as hell, we couldn't decide on a sub-title

I didnt liked the game. It was made for a cover system but not for shooting dodge so it ended up to be Gears of Payne for me. And overall the writing was bland and dump as fuck. R* should focus on making open world games and not games like Max Payne.

The Favela/Hotel/Airport was more COD than i thought it would be.
 
Soft lock should be removed from multiplayer. It's ruining the player base. This community won't last 3 months if they don't get rid of that shit.

Sad, because the multiplayer is the most fun I've had playing a shooter in a LONG time.

Payne Killer mode is ridiculously addictive.

Why do people play like this? If you're not running/shoododging around like a maniac, you're doing it wrong. And this isn't even the worst offender. EDIT: and it's soft lock too. :lol Kills look so much easier in bullet time.

I encountered a prone camper in Teamdeath match last night. He kept doing it through the match....
 
This 300 limit, is that across all formats? I can't imagine 300 people here have the PS3 version.

That's not all that is ruining the player base. Having lobbies separated by your XP level can ruin it too. Newcomers don't get to try everything and some people might not find what they're looking for in the lobbies available to them. Look at how many people are in each lobby as you scroll through the list, the further down you go, the less people playing.

Surely there is a better way to leave lobbies locked, like, I dunno, maybe have a few locked till people have finished the game or something, something, anything, but not the way it is.

This might be one of the reasons why some of us couldn't join you MMaRsu, perhaps you were inviting us into a lobby that we hadn't unlocked yet? I know I've been getting into other games all day long.

No the enemies aren't endless, and I never felt like I was being pushed along so I don't know what that comment means. I read there are areas where you can fail if you don't keep moving, but I did a good amount of "sightseeing" in my 10 hours and never encountered any of it.

Think I've encountered two of those sections, the first one is very early in the game within the second or third scene, the one in the night club.
After you dodge dive through the VIP window down to the dance floor. You only have a min or so to get up the stairs to pass the checkpoint.
There was another too, in the first Chapter but can't remember.

An issue I have with the game, and a lot of other games too when you're rewarded with exploration, is when you go to look in a certain area and the game takes over control of your character, pushing you into the next section. Sometimes I haven't finished looking around, but I feel I don't get the chance in some instances.
 
Finally got a chance to play disc 2 (360), powered through it in one night. Great great game missed half the collectibles as you'd be in combat and can't grab um then like others said the game shoves you ahead.. Oh well no biggie, 11 hours of fun is enough for me now on to the next! MP is blah but SP is my favorite game of 2012 so far.
 
So I've been admitted to the hospital since Thursday, any news on the PC version in any, shape or form? I heard it's shipped on 4 DVDs, so the 35GB might not be totally off?
 
Is there anything special to the multiplayer, or is it Rockstar Presents: Third Person Shooting?

It's Rockstar Presents: Perks under a different name, just as annoying.

Lol screw that nonsense. Its like the old action half life mod...whivh was awesome. So is this pretty damn great especially dm or payne killer.

Have you even put time in it? Im lvl 22 btw.

I haven't put any time into it because it isn't out on PC yet. I've watched a few videos, and I'm getting Uncharted vibes, so I was wondering if it had a unique hook or was another perk based third person deathmatch.

You can shootdodge and bullet time in multiplayer. And it works. Properly. And pistols are beast. And Gang Wars is fun. What more do you need?

And aside from the Paranoia burst, they aren't really that bad, and even that burst can be countered if you have a class with ID Cards.
 
I love 'Payne Killer'.

Really satisfying to gain control of Max and then have bullet-time and dual weapons. Got a great sense of tension when I realised everyone else in the game was now coming after me.

Need to put more time into the MP though, yet to really hook me.

No, I'm waiting for the proper version.

And I've played enough games and seen enough footage to know, rock, scissor, paper bullshit mechanics in games is the work of Beelzebub himself. It doesn't belong in multiplayer games, it needs to pack its shit and get on a ferry out of this world. Even worse when developers don't provide playlists without this stuff.
 
They need to addess the the lag and balance some of the weapons before people bail on it. Also fuck soft lock more people playing that than free aim means the player base will get smaller and smaller in the mode i like to play.

The unique hook is bullettime and shootdodging. Very satisfying


And fuck softlock who are these noobs?
And sethos what mechanics are those?
 
MMaRsu said:

That's mechanics that give you a quick situational advantage which can then be countered in some situations if you hit the right button, have the right counter-mechanic or do something special.

It's truly horrible when there is a counter, it's even worse when it's quick iAdvantage buttons that can't be countered.

cut scene after cut scene after fucking cut scene. this is getting ridiculous and i'm only in the third chapter. is the whole game like this?

The worst part is the 'on drugs' effect in the cutscenes. It's SO annoying and never goes away. Who the hell thought that this would be a good idea?

Yep, every chapter has 1 or 2 non-skippable cutscenes too. Great way to mask loading times, but watching a minute long cutscene every chapter gets old fast. The shorter ones can be skipped though.

I hope the PC version loads quicker.
 
I rented the game from Gamefly to tide me over until PC release...i can't wait. I think I am up to Chapter V and it is so good. Very curious to see how the PC version will run as I have a more than capable PC that should be able to max it out.

This basically. With the whole legacy of Max at stake these impressions are really, really, positive. One can't deny that R* is at the top of the industry nowadays.
Click to expand...

I can easily deny that but I'm hoping MP3 is much better. I think my expectations for this game are more in check this time. I'm actually expecting an ultra linear game with too many cutscenes (like the popular FPS in 2010 picture) and I'm adjusting myself accordingly. Hopefully it won't be as boring as most of those types of games are.
 
I've noticed in chapter select that I can turn unlimited painkillers on for any difficulty, including Hardcore and Old School. Does doing so affect the trophies for completing the game at those difficulties?

Yes, it counts as using cheats.
 
I've started my NYM run-through. I don't know if I'll do NYMH since one try seems a bit ridiculous.

So far having finished the game on hard I definitely feel like I've really learned how to play the game effectively; flying through these first levels without much trouble (though the difficulty itself on NYM can't be set to hard).

Just booted up, presented with New Patch Alert (1.02), download and boot up the game. Jump straight to multiplayer, get presented with the message in the image above. Go and check the parenting level and it is still at the same setting. Just turned off Parental Controls, will try again.

*Edit*
Didn't work. Now to try and set it to the highest number (Lowest is strictest setting).

*edit #2*
Still didn't work. Checked game information and it says MP3 is Level 9 and I had the settings set to Level 11. Wonder if the patch broke it or something?

*Edit #3*
And I have tried nothing since Edit #2. Was just sitting in the menus surfing the net. Tried again and it randomly worked. I wonder if it's to do with www.rockstargames.com being down?

Seriously. Why did they include that shit in the MP? There's about 3-5x as many people playing it than free aim. :(




Yea, no. It's the closest you can get to Action Half-Life or The Specialists.

Yes someone else who agrees on action half life! That shit was brilliant on.LAN.

Deadly cyclone ur pretty close.

So how far through the game am I?

I currently
just broke out of the jail.
Click to expand...

Seriously? You shouldn't hide that in a spoiler as everyone is going to have a look to see if you're past where they are. You were better off saying 'I am currently in Chapter 2 Act 3" or whatever level (It's displayed in Level Select) and not spoiler anything.

Thanks for spoiling that for me btw.
