The game is really great. I need to get used to the bullet time jump dogding. You cannot jump where you want like in the previous games lol. It's better that way though I alwas jump against a wall and Max is stunned (has to stand up again) for a moment 
Is there any way to only shoot one weapon in dual wield? Like only shooting the one in the right hand?

I agree. Posted on Gamersuggestions that the XP reward for kills in free aim should be higher. Making kills in softlock is too easy and I think that many competive players want to rank up as fast as possible.

Reviews were right: This game keeps dragging on and on. Just when I think I've reached the ending, the game throws another chapter. And then another. And then annother.
Still loving it, though.

I played this game and I liked it. Although it made me cringe when he shaved his head, I got over it. The soundtrack was awesome too.
With those specs, I'd say PC. You'd probably be able to crank the settings up fairly high though not max.
Why would you even ask with that setup. Even if you played on medium it would be better than the ps3 version, but I only have a gtx470 and 6gb ram and I was able to run it at 60 with everything on high and texture on very high. PC no question.

Mentioned in the other thread but is it just me or is there already rampant cheating?
Played 3 different rounds of Gang Wars over hte last hour and each had a guy going something like 50 and 1.

You can play through the entire game without using cover a single time
It isn't.

I've seriously changed my mind about this game's visuals. The first two chapters didn't wow me, but I can't get over how cool some of the later chapters look. And it all runs so smoothly. Rockstar has done a great job and I'm now ridiculously excited about GTAV.

It wasn't the case for me on hard. I would get nailed in one or two hits in some areas. Maybe I just suck.
Play the New York Minute mode. You'll learn how to play without cover.
Shootdodge into a room and heatshot the 6 enemies in there is one of the coolest things you can do.

I judged it a bit early too. But of course I played on. And the true scope of the game is a lot clearer now. The production values are incredible and the story keeps getting better.

I played a game where one fuckhead from 4chan had God Mode.
Seriously, cover will get you killed, i don't even know how you cannot dive all the time and stay alive.

God damn the cutscene at the start of the game is really fucking good. The main theme, Max breaking down, it's beautiful.
On my first playthrough I think there were only two times in the entire game where I actually "stop and popped" with cover. If you're not shoot dodging/bullet timing you're doing it wrong.
Well that's because you played it as a cover based shooter :/ Honestly I didn't make use of cover that much, I was using slow-mo and slow-mo dive all the time however to headshot suckers. That is how you're meant to play Max Payne.
EDIT: Played on normal btw.

Ive been having great games last night with weak spot! We were ripping it up!
Yeah I was probably on the second last mission before I discovered that. I kept waiting in cover for them to shoot at me and the bar fill up so I could shootdodge, since it drained while doing the dodge

Ahhh there aren't many shooters where I enjoy putting more bullets into a dead body as it falls. Euphoria is sooooo good.
He's right in the assessment though, other than the cover based part. You're supposed to slo mo dive through every room but that doesn't make it any more interesting once you've seen a guy get filled with bullets 100 times in the first 3 or 4 chapters. He could never progress any further and he will have seen everything there is to offer from a gameplay standpoint.
You can also play the game without using shootdodge
You ever guys ever heard of trying new things? You know, mix it up a little
You can play this game dozens of different ways
No you can't. You shoot people and that's it.
Yes you can. You keep complaining about how the game is stale and repetitive but it's really not.
I don't know how else to explain this. This game has lots of variety. If you can't see it... I don't know
Not using slo mo is not changing the game any. You're still doing nothing but shooting people. Placing meaningless artificial constraints on yourself doesn't change the game up any.
Well then by your opinion, every game is stale and repetitive and boring.
Must be a sad world you live in.

Its not artificial constraints. You choreograph your own action scenes here, so you decide how best to take down an area, whether that's relying upon cover, your natural aim, free wheeling slow mo, or well timed shoot-dodges, or a personal rhythm using all of the above.
This game isn't for everybody, but there is no "one way" to play out the action. That's a saving grace in a game that is so linear otherwise.
