Nice, two of my problems seem to be fixed with this patch then (asking me for SP1 and wonky mouse). If they completely fix the mouse aim, that'll be one hell of an upgrade for the game.

Same here; nice to see they are actually looking into the MP stuff. After playing it a bit more I have a feeling there's a lot of cheaters out there. Being decimated as bad as I was seemed iffy. I don't know for sure but I did much better on 360 MP, and assumed with better control via mouse I would do better than that.

PC and console cut-scene skippability seems to be pretty much the same, which is a shame. I don't think background loading is the only reason we can't skip some of them.
Indeed. Sit through any cutscene that tells you "still loading" for 2 mins and exit back to the main menu. Then resume your game to watch it load in like 7 seconds flat
Not to mention there's a cutscene you can flat out miss when you first visit the Favela (
the missionary with the ex-cop you meet in the nightclub bathroom
It felt more like hard mode without last stand. I don't know for sure though.
Cuts intro and outro cutscenes, but all the in-betweens are still there and a lot of them have the infamous STILL LOADING sign of unskippability. A piss poor choice not to include actual loadings in the game, and instead to have you clicking (or pressing enter -I found some cutscenes ignore my madly clicking but do get skipped when I press enter) like crazy, trying to figure out which cutscene you can skip.
I'll have to try it out. Thanks.

Yup, the enter trick is never certain it seems. It is pretty annoying. At least the cutscenes are terribly long for the most part.
It does. I compiled a quickfix over in the de facto PC OT:

Thank you, sir!! I'll try it.
I recorded the ending of Max Payne 3 on PC with nearly all max settings at 1200p. Watch only if you finished the game! Switch the video to original for full quality. 1080p works as well.

That music at 4:09. What an amazing transition. It really wraps up Max's life so well.

Ugh, just accidentally skipped a cutscene. It's bad enough that there are long ass unskippable cutscenes, but the ONE time I push A accidentally, the cutscene automatically skips.
1) Every cutscene must be skippable
2) For christ's sake, give the user a "Are you sure you want to skip the cutscene" message.

When it comes to Max Payne, I never mess around.
It's funny. I didn't think there was much wrong with the aiming before. But now that I've turned off acceleration, I couldn't imagine going back. Just tried a few encounters there and it feels amazing.

Worst offender for me are the intro credits. It's like five fucking minutes, which were great the first time, but feel like they take eons the following times. It didn't help that the game crashed twice on the first level and for some reason it didn't save, so I had to watch the damn intro three times before actually starting to play
Oh man I love you so much! You just gave me another playthrough! Will try this no doubt tomorrow when I get home...
So many good news regarding this game the only day I'm not sleeping home lol
The quote above the bar is a Portuguese translation of the philosopher Seneca, and means "There is nothing in the world so admired as a man who can bear unhappiness with courage."
Nice catch. That's a great quote choice.
Wow. Didn't know that. Well done R*.
I've actually been doing the first few levels.
Anyone able to to hit me up with an invite, to the clan by the way? This is actually my GOTY. I'm active and positive about the game. I was just on a blackout, until I finished the story.
EDIT: Remembered to check OP. Stuck in a request, to the clan on the social club. I have an exam tomorrow, that I'll be revising for. But after that, I'll be pretty active again.

This game looks and sounds amazing on my PC. I have a decent mid-level rig and I can basically max out most of the settings and crank up the AA in DX11 mode and I'm getting a smooth 30fps.
I'm not really "getting" the game loop yet. I still feel like I'm doing it wrong. If I pop out from cover to shoot, my health meter instantly starts depleting, so the only viable option is strategically placed dives, which is kind of hilarious, but gets kind of weird after a while.
Edit: wait, you can turn off mouse acceleration? Nice.
It's really nice to see Rockstar kicking ass with their PC support.

Am I the only one who hasn't gotten the patch yet?
Nope i havent got it yet either.
I love the little touches in this game. <3
I just booted the game up, and the title treats me with a shot of Max drinking all alone inside the
while everyone's partying and having fun outside, reflecting my story progress (I've reached
).
I like that Rockstar did this with the title screen. It changes depending on your progress in the story.

Started with the first few levels. Dunno if it's because they finally removed the mouse acceleration or I just know the flow of the levels know but it feels much better and it's pretty damn fun.

Couldnt take more than a minute of listening to that voice. Also thought the guy was being incredibly nit-picky over Max.
It's annoying they had to split the community on PC between free aim and lock on.
