MP3 is the only game where it's fun to aim at the legs, and watch euphoria go into action.
Two people running towards me, one behind the other, and I shoot the front guy in the legs. He staggers and falls while the guy behind him trips over him. I cap both in the head as they're getting up.

Okay, now as #14 on the neogang I am begging peeps to either play multi or drop.off. Too many of us have limited scoring. Stop holding the squad back dudes!

Some critic on Metacritic just gave the game 4 out of 10. That just seems absurd to me; no way could someone justify marking it that low down.

Max Payne 3 |OT| I don't have enough Kong and 'killers to tolerate shoddy performance.
This needs to be it. Everyone saying the game is too hard or has bullet sponge enemies can't shoot for shit.

I like the cut of your jib sir.
still haven't finished but I've seen that at least twice be bolded during a cutscene. So far the game is awesome tho, looking forward to finishing up today. Probably my favorite Rockstar game this gen.

I don't think it's clunky at all. Once you know where everything is you're sorted.
Also, like me because I like free aim.

relative to other shooters, this game does control awkwardly; not enough to take away from single player mode, but it does when it comes to multiplayer.

If you played Gears you can play Max Payne 3.

Gears is a lot smoother, and I didn't say Max Payne is unplayable, the controls just aren't on par with the more popular shooters out.

I won't dispute that but the basics remain the same. Grenades are avoidable, shotguns kill up close, and assault rifles rule long range affairs.

Finished it. Hated the whole thing. But it's certainly not the first time Rockstar has disappointed me this generation. Oh well.
What. Every headshot in this game is lethal, stop shooting at their body armor. The only exception are the light machine gunners who only appear
about 4
So yeah, pretty much this.
Pretty much.
The only thing I don't like about this game is that some of the enemy spawn points seem more like "Gotcha!" moments, especially when you're out of bullet time. Other than that though this is probably the best TPS I've ever played.

Any word on when Steam's pre-loading will start yet? Can't wait to play it again, this time in all its DX11 glory (if Rockstar hasn't screwed up this version of the game like their crappy ports of GTA4 and LA Noire).

I thought the soundtrack was really good as well.
was using free aim
im sorry but anyone calling this game smooth is insane...it is EXTREMELY clunky when compared to other shooters...lol at not being able to transition between cover
and headshots aren't lethal
Headshots are 100% lethal and this game flows smoother than most other TPS.
Call me crazy, 'cause I disagree. Literally never had a single issue with the controls *shrug*
Last third-person shooter I played before this was Uncharted 3 and I think the combat (including the controls) was way worse there.
I agree with the bolded part but the rest is just untrue and incorrect. Especially the headshots
Headshots are instant kills.

You can still roll or shootdodge from cover to cover..works for me.
The head is the oval shaped thing at the top of the shoulders.
you really think the mechanics of max payne 3 were better than uncharted 3? well damn. im not saying uncharted is exactly the best TPS of all time but to call it worse than max payne 3 kind of offends me
i dont think we were playing the same game? max payne 3 is pretty much a copy and paste of GTA 4s shooting mechanics with bullet time tacked on. i can deal with GTA having 'meh' shooting mechanics but a dedicated TPS with 'meh' shooting mechanics is a bad game to me.
they should have got the mafia devs to help work on the shooting and cover mechanics because them guys know how to make great TPS games
WTF Spoiler tag that shit.
I honestly think you cannot discuss this seriously after saying headshots aren't insta kills.
Either you're playing the wrong game, or you're doing it incorrectly or not sober.
Absolutely. I thought Uncharted 3's combat was pretty bad. Max Payne 3 I, again, had no issues with.
I should note that I played UC 3 at launch. I think I remember hearing about a patch later on that attempted to fix the combat, so it might be better now.

If you like shooting through walls, sure.
Talking about Uncharted 3, people need to realise fluidity and control are totally different things.
it seems people are having different experiences with the same game. on quite a few occasions i shot someone in the head he went down then got back up and started shooting me again. on 1 occasion i shot the same person 3 times in the head with a shot gun before he died
Highly doubt that actually happened.
What might happen once is you get a headshot on someone with a helmet and it'll jump off. Another headhot and he's gone. But there's not too many guys like that in the game.
at launch the aiming sensitivity was messed up for some reason. all you had to do was adjust it...surely you done that?
lol why am i gonna lie about it?
the game can be extremely cheap at times...infact its unreal how cheap it can at times
Yep. Just like I did as soon as I started playing Max Payne. Still thought it was bad.

Game could have done with less enemies tbh.
Not saying you're lying. Saying you're wrong. You think you're getting headshots but you're not. Because what you just mentioned doesn't happen. Played through the game twice and it did not happen to me a single time.
I'm one of the biggest Uncharted fans here and this is easily far above Uncharted when it comes down to purely shooting mechanics. The gun combat feels so incredibly precise, satisfying, and cool all the time in MP3. It seriously may be the strongest shooter mechanically that I have ever played.
either one is better in uncharted.. like by a lot.
mp3 really is basically a slightly improved GTA4 with bullet time.
Again, I disagree.
And I can't get with the GTA IV comparisons. Red Dead Redemption was already an improved GTA IV. This is far ahead of both of those (in my opinion).
