Ok Ok I can't stop laughing. The salt from using a Mini-10 with the scope. Scope is just.... wow.
It's so right when you say "Play it for fun, not competitively" Cause man. Freakin laser.
It's only a matter of time unless they lower how much damage it can do.

Gotta say that I've been shocked by a few of the various 'Fail/Game Over' moments scattered about in the game, which are really quite detailed. For the NY levels,
Another moment later on stunned me as well on the bus station level when you're
Totally thought that it was part of the story for a second until the Retry screen came up.
Interested to see what other graphic ones are out there.
it was quite confronting when Max is jumping off the falling water tower and you fail to kill all the gang members on the other side, where he's just dangling off the edge of the next roof and gets executed point blank.
Another moment later on stunned me as well on the bus station level when you're
escorting Giovanna right after she tells you she's pregnant...I ended up running ahead thinking I'd cleared the place, until the cutscene triggered and you see one of the soldiers walking up and just shooting her.

Yrah mp is fucked.
It's part of the story ! It is supposed to reflect Max's mental state. He is wired on painkillers and drunk the whole way through. The cutscene effects are giving you a window into how he is perceiving events.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
That's how I see it as well. I don't mind the effects at all; I think the presentation overall is very well done.

I just use it to lock on to the enemy. After that, I move the cursor up for the head shot if they have obscene armour. I've also been fiddling with the sensitivity settings as I cranked it up earlier and that (in addition to not understanding how to use the soft lock) probably contributed to my semi-meltdown, lol
But the experience definitely went from three hours of frustrating hell to one huge sigh of relief.
I was worried the effects would be over the top or too repetitive but they do their job very well
I put that on every morning on my drive to work.

Just got the call, I can pick up my 360 CE version of MP3 tomorrow finally !
finally !Finished it on Normal with free aim. Overall I really liked it.
The difficulty was there due to two-stage fights and entering some fights with no health and no pills. The thing is you every time you die you get an extra bottle of pills so you can walk into a fight with nothing and wind up leaving with pills to spare. It's an interesting approach to difficulty that we don't usually see. It means you replay some sequences four or five times but it wasn't a deal breaker for me, the fighting was always fun.
I just like how detailed and complete a package the game is. Even things like the changing load screens depending on where you are in the game is a deluxe touch. The environments were constantly great and they reminded me of Resident Evil 5. The music is seriously the best in gaming. Rockstar has great taste in music.
Lots going for it with only a few minor gripes = a keeper. This is the first Rockstar game that I really liked this gen. They finally got their shooting down! Fucking hooray! This hopefully will make their future games even better and I really hope they are going to do another Max Payne. The guy seems to be in good hands.

Gonna have to say the game is pretty much awesome when you reach Sao Paulo city/slums. The lighting and character models are damn impressive.
This game is EASILY the best shooter this generation.

Someone drop from the NeoGAF crew!
In all seriousness though, member limit needs to be increased or something. Are there really 300 active members in the crew? I don't even notice when R* started this crew thing.
I second this!
Last I checked only about half of the 300 had even earned any multiplayer experience. Someone should clean out the inactives or something in favor of those of us that refuse to join any of the other crews.
Some of us are waiting for the PC version.
Just have someone create a second GAF crew.

I don't really see the point in having a crew with people on separate platforms like this though. Seems like everyone would benefit from crews for each separate platform.
I know experience can carry over and whatnot but it would seem that the crews are the best ways to actually get groups together to play.
Maybe use this one until the cap is raised?

Too bad it's billed as the PSN crew. That one 360 bro looks so lonely...

Pretty sure there is no traditional RPG in single-player.
As for the tourist locations, some involve actively opening doors but others are triggered just by walking close to certain things.
I managed to find all three of the "retired cop" ones by dumb luck, but didn't even know there was a tourist to be found.

I also like by the tail end of the story
It becomes less apparent because Max is starting to sober up, so he has a more clear memory of what happened.
No RPG in SP? Hmmm, guess it must be something else that I haven't used yet for the use all guns trophy.
I found the ex-cop and the pervert in the favela bar. Anyone know how many others there are?

Ah, OK. I only found the LAW there before.

oh is that the same
rocket you fire at the tank?
hotel level when you are planting the c4 on the pillars. one of the soldiers drops it that come in through that yellow side fence that leads to the spot where you have to snipe

You run into the ex-cop three times and the tourist apparently twice (I never ran into the tourist so just second-hand knowledge).
Also I'm almost positive the aforementioned RPG in the spoilered level is the LAW and not the RPG. Pretty sure the RPG isn't necessary for the kill someone with every gun achievement (solution over at x360a). Too bad there doesn't seem to be a tally anywhere to keep track of kills for purposes of the achievement.
I don't know about that. I combed that level on my second playthrough and only found the LAW and a rotary grenade launcher, in terms of heavy weaponry. No RPG.

There are two LAWs in that area, make sure you use one on the APC, and the other on the enemies.
Yeah that's also the reason the Portuguese isn't translated. Max doesn't understand what's being said, which is often used to great effect especially later on. It's fantastic for immersion.
I love some of the little subtle things they do like Max rubbing his bald head at times since he isn't used to it.

Anyone know what the 11MB update for the 360 was?
Never had this problem. I've had one hardlock in my 2 playthroughs but that's it.
That rifle must be it. Thanks.

I had to manually go back to the XMB on Ps3 like that once. On my second playthrough on hard after the office level there's a lenghty cutscene, and instead of going to gameplay after the video it went to a black screen.. So I reset the Ps3 and had to replay the ending to the office level and endure the long ass cutscene again
