No, not the main menu music, the actual "press start" title screen.Pretty sure it's layered as you get deeper and deeper into the campaign. You'll notice that Max's outfit and location also changes with SP progress.

Just noticed how, if Max is holding a gun in the menu screen, it's appearance is affected in real time if you turn golden guns on or off.

Am I the only one who, after the ending and credits,
I thought that was a great final touch.
just watched Max sit there at his little table by the beach bar, at the menu screen? I loved watching him drink his soda, while contemplating about everything that had happened and about what lies ahead.

Anybody?
Am I just missing the progress indicator or did they seriously give you no heads up as to what difficulty you've beaten each chapter on?
I definitely did. As I've said before, I loved the ending scene. Simple, but effective.
I've read that this doesn't work. You've gotta start a new game on hard and do it from start to finish! I wouldn't risk chapter select!
This isn't definitive proof, but here you go: http://www.trueachievements.com/viewcomment.aspx?commentid=461507#vch. In the link the guy talks about trying to unlock the achievement for beating the game on hardcore using chapter select.

Thanks broseph. I'll just start a new game. I was only half way through chapter 2 anyway.

The opening to the New York level (Ch.4?) is fucking amazing on many levels
That is all you had to say, man. You were cheering for Recon during the beta while doubting this game before it came out.

McCaffrey is stellar in this game. One of the best video game performances to date.

Storyline, writing and atmosphere aside (because they're all clearly superior), does anybody else think MP3 could have added a little something by 'borrowing' the table-sliding mechanic from Stranglehold?

Any word on if the gaf crew is getting expanded at all? It seems weird that we're locked to 300 but there are a ton out there with far more. Is it because it's a private crew? Because it's both ps3/360. It's just frustrating seeing a lot of people in the crew who haven't touched the multiplayer with a ton of us seemingly looking in from the outside.

Maybe, but it wasn't even that well done in Stranglehold. I remember hardly using it beause it was just awkard.
I think they had a better solution here of just going over it.
Also, I lost my shit again when I landed on a pile of dudes after shoot dodging and the physics reacted accordingly IE: I was propped up on them and when I shifted weight, their bodies would too
Rockstar crews made for other games (like the Red Dead Rustlers or whatever) can have more than 300.
Hey Rockstar, fuck you, fuck you so very hard.

Yeah, because 3 days isn't a fucking eternity. So easy to say that when you're already playing the game and we're still waiting. Our only comfort is this spoilerrific thread.
Isn't bad enough they are already making us wait 2 weeks beyond release, now they are also toying with us.

I dont know what to think any more. PC releases have more smoke and mirrors than a strip club locker room.
It's just fair, bro.

So does this mean that all hope is lost for getting into the gaf crew for this? Last I had heard there were others with more members (somethingawful specifically comes to mind) that didn't seem specifically for other rockstar games
We aren't worthy
Someone should make a GAF2 crew.
I think a new crew would be a good idea. Pre-release lists are a good idea, but so many people are like "Day 1 OMFG" but they never get the game.

Well deserved i guess? from what i've read in this thread most GAFfers like it a lot, so i can't wait to get my hands on the PC version.

A friend of mine struggled to Chapter 13 on Medium without knowing you can click RS for Bullet-Time. He was Shoot-dodging everywhere and went from screaming about the game being "too hard" with "too many fucking enemies!" to "WOW!" "OMG!" "This is amazing!".
I've put around 10 hours into Multiplayer, which is mostly great fun. I'm starting to wish it had a few more maps. Deathmatch has been a major clusterfuck of bad spawns for me but I'm really loving Gang Wars.
Paranoia and Sneaky are the most rage-inducing shit I've seen in a game for a long time, but overall it's been fun so I'm gonna stick with it for now.

BUSTED! GR:FS had a good beta and Rockstar have a pretty average record when it comes to games that "feel" good, so you can't really have a go at me for being a bit apprehensive regarding their first foray into a genre that demands stellar control and tight mechanics. The reactions are completely unrelated, though; it's not like my hype for the beta was a pesky parasite sitting in Max's intestine.
You are such a Buzz Killington
Ha. Hey, I do this once or twice a year. Leave me alone. Funnily enough, LA Noire was my last victim. I was all over that fucker like an ex-cop in a pharmacy.
9 days too long.
The wait better be worth it. I expect stunning graphics and brilliant optimisation.

For one, I haven't "harped on". I mentioned one other game, one time, that also has a heavy emphasis on multiplayer, just like MP3. Fair enough, methinks.
Secondly, I appreciate you saying "somewhat dislike", 'cause I sure as hell don't hate it; quite the opposite.
And THIRDLY, I enjoy observing the opinions of my peers who have invested the time and effort into a product that I also have, whatever it may be.
I'll tone down the whining, though; just for you, Sethos. Coo de la?

Yeah, I'm playing the game on Hard for my first playthrough (up to chapter 11) and I can think of 2 or 3 spots where I died a lot, but the feeling I get after pulling through it is great. Still, some people could definitely find it frustrating, so overall I can agree with this statement.
No, you seem to enjoy getting a bit of attention by constantly trying to put down the game in some way, you've already stated you have zero interest in investing any more time in the game and now mentioned you intend to play a different game. That's like going to a restaurant to enjoy a meal, you don't like the food. Yet you stay to complain about the food and you even come back the following days just to sit down and complain - Then you also start telling everyone how much you enjoy the restaurant across the street all whilst everyone around you is enjoying the food and are getting a bit annoyed. Just leave the damn restaurant and don't return instead.
Constructive feedback is great, negative opinions are fine but sounding like a broken record for days is just annoying.
If you're really keen on analogies, it's more like going to a restaurant, not enjoying the food, then going on an internet forum and telling people that the food is not good for this and this reason.
True.
Let's just all be as annoying as possible, instead of acting a bit more civilized and then put each other on ignore. I have nothing against the guy and he makes some otherwise good posts but I just had to get that off my chest - No reason to ignore him right off the bat.

holy shit this game is not fun --> second playthrough. can't skip 5 min cutscenes and the END of the chapter. can't skip 5 min cutscenes at the beginning of the chapter.
I wanted to collect all guns but no, I won't. this is everything but fun.

Nah. It is really easy once you know how.
Last bossfight spoiler
First you need to make sure that you get all of the 6 painkillers during the train section. First 3 are in the first train and 3 in the second one.
Now shoot the grenade and go into bullet time and take out the three guys to the right with headshots including the one in the airplane.
Now after that it is all just RB RB RB RB left and right. NEVER just stay in cover because he will fire a grenade at you and sometimes you die because of that bullshit even if you are in cover. If you are using shootdoge all the time he will never fire a grenade at you at all.

HEY.
Point taken.
Though, I can't really agree with the, 'better restaurant across the street' / 'Mickcenary is a troll' allegation. If anything, all I've done in that regard is mention - in passing - that I don't eat out much due to time constraints, but when I do, I already have a place lined up; no comparative knocking of Max's restaurant. Were pretty good at analogies, you and I.
I guess maybe I was a bit taken aback having come into the thread and not seeing many, if any posters complaining about the things that I would deem very worthy of complaint. Rockstar and skepticism go hand-in-hand with me. Everyone enjoys seeing others align with their own opinions, but I understand if I've come off a bit heavy-handed here.
Apologies for derailing.
For the record, I just want make sure that everyone knows that I hate this game and its apologists with the strength of a thousand painkillers.
Obviously a joke.

just finished the game and ill be damned if that was not one of the best games i have played in a long while
Its a shame that max payne movie was turned into a marky mark and lots of cgi
as if the movie played out like this game it well could of been the next die hard
Looking foward to the DLC

But if this said restaurant ... Okay I'll stop. I'm probably being extremely sensitive with all the waiting, the PC delay and recently being released from the hospital. Now I just have a lot of pent up nerdy frustration. But I do know where you come from, had my fair share of games where I just needed to get something off my chest and perhaps see someone else actually share my opinions but they were far and few in between. So i apologize for being a bit combative.

Just booted up steam and saw Max Payne 3 June 1st. What......the.....fuck. FUCK YOU Europe!! Hahaha, just kidding. I hope we will get a preload though.
