Wish the neogaf crew was still up on pc. Finished the game once again, love it. "You know I'll walk! You'll walk with a limp!"
Honestly one of my favorite games, just great gameplay, great pacing, good variety in levels (even if all you do is keep going forward and shoot your way through) nice soundtrack and quite a good length for this genre of games, to me after watching the credits, just feels the same as when I watched a good movie, except this one was interactive.
I managed to get into a few multiplayer games, with gamepad or keyboard and mouse, it's quite fun, wish there were more people though, hard to get good games going and community wise it's pretty awful with guys insulting each other and what not.

These sales have added quite a few more people to multiplayer. There was a dead period where you couldn't find a damn thing during late night hours. Last night I got in 3 hours of quality multiplayer.
If theres one thing I've learned...its that the M4 absolutely sucks and has been removed from my loadouts forever. The spas is still my #1. Love catching someone off-guard and seeing their body fly in the other direction.

When I go with pistols, I do silenced. Yea its not the most effective, but its like playing Goldeneye multiplayer again in how fun they are to use.

I've been trying to play this, but after 10 or so minutes of gameplay, the game will crash to a black screen, music still playing, and I have to reset my PC. Can't seem to find much info on the problem, so thought I'd ask if anyone here had a similar problem. I'm using a SLI setup and after monitoring my CPU/GPU temps, it doesn't seem to be stressing my PC too much.
I never had any issues with MP3 till today, and now I have a similar problem. In my case, only half the screen turns black and I lose mouse control.

Does this load faster on PC?
Yeah. Strangely the issue went away after I restarted my PC and verified the game once.
Yeah. Although many of the cut-scenes are not skippable. Playing Arcade mode remedies that to a certain extent, but you still have to sit through a lot.
Does anyone play the game's horde mode on PC? I would love to try it out, but I can never seem to find anyone in a public lobby.

Anyone here complete NYMHC?
Wow. Looks like Max Payne 3 sold over 4 million copies so far. Sounds like all the "derp, bomba!" posters have some crow to eat.
I know this post is old but even the biggest bullet sponge in the game(the gunner in the UFE police station, towards the end) can be put down in about 3-4 shots, if they're placed right. After you knock their helmets off, its one shot kill.

Okay I just got around to play this and I'm on Chapter 7 right now and I'm really enjoying it. The gameplay is really fun and the game is beatiful. Max is great as always and I greatly enjoy is misery. I wish they mentioned more of the plot from the first two games a little more, but I feel it's a decent continuation so far. My only complaints so far is the bald look in the latter half and the cut scene ADD style.

I actually kinda like the bald look when he's wearing the suit. BTW, does anyone know if it's possible to use a trainer or something to use weapons on any level with the PC version? Not a fan of how, despite having a large variety of guns, a lot of them get relegated to a level or two, like the sawn off and desert eagle.

Reminds me of Big Walter White, especially in the precinct.

I got this game Thursday, and I beat it today. I was quiet surprised at how good this game is. I loved every single moment of it. The way the story is narrated and how Max is struggling throughout it grabs your attention and never let's go. My only complain is all the cheap and unavoidable deaths ( I played it on normal difficulty).
Really hoping to see Max Payne 4 in the future.

Cheap deaths? Like catching a bullet to the head?
I hated the railing in the nightclub level, when I first got it. I must have bullet-timed myself off the building a handful of times.

I would love a R* Max Payne 4 also.
I just worry Rockstar's strategy backfires on them when making a game like this. Where they take years and years and pour mountains of money into each project they do. I appreciate the ambition, it makes for a quality final product, and it works with their open-world games since those routinely sell 15-20 million at least, but I don't know how well it works with something like Max Payne. A series where none of the games have sold more than a few million. Might make them think twice about coming back to it.
But we'll see. I'll be psyched if it happens next gen.
same here.
would love a non sunny approach though.
really liked all the dark,rainy levels in mp2.

I hated how diving over tables or other obstacles usually ended up with Max flailing around instead of sliding along, John Woo style.
I think Net_wrecker said the same a while back and I wholeheartedly agree that's the next step they should take. If MP4 gets done, I want to see Max have an animation when in bullet-time that is in context to what hes diving into/onto.
Even if I'm shoot-diving into a pillar, I wanna see him wrap his one arm around it, swing and use the pistol in the other hand. They could create so many different types of those and it would no doubt be awesome. We'd finally get our John Woo videogame.

It's like Rockstar forgot how to make a smaller title. Even if they don't make another Max Payne game, they can't let these mechanics go to waste. I'd love to see them make another pure shooter with bullet time and expand the action scenes. Higher level enemies using bullet time is my #1 wish for these mechanics going forward. I want to shootdoge at two enemies and have them shootdodge in retaliation as the game slows to crawl for 1 second (for cinematic effect), then snaps back to normal speed as everyone falls to the ground, bullets flying in all directions, the environment taking damage, glass breaking, dust + smoke everywhere, and all 3 characters take cover to reload. That's infinitely more interesting as a boss battle than the big brute sponges they (and every other shooter) used in MP3.
Oh and any sequel or spiritual sequel would need to at least a 75% reduction in cutscenes. That should go without saying. Let music, use of fixed camera angles, internal monologue, and in-game conversations make up the game's "cinematic" qualities.
I think I mentioned something like that in reference to a "context sensitive dodge" idea I brought up. Like an ability that would allow you to quickly dodge out of the way of a fatal shot if you reacted fast enough the button prompt (Resident Evil style) and Max would react differently depending on what he hit. Sort of like how Chow Yun Fat used to smash into hallway walls to dodge shots while still shooting in his action movies.
A gameplay related example would be in Shadows of The Damned. If you've played that and remember the button prompt that would pop up when an enemy was about to strike/grab you from behind allowing you to do a 180 turn elbow strike. That was my general idea, but with bullets instead. A last ditch reactive bullet time dodge governed by an automatically refilling meter so you couldn't abuse it.
nice to hear. id love to see a next gen sequel but knowing rockstar, its probably going to take 8 years for an announcement.
Anyone else here tried to have the least amount of kills in a playthrough as possible? I'm playing NYMH and even though I know that's why I haven't completed it, I keep trying to shoot guys in extremities only, through the forearm, in the foot, shins, etc. Really like the animation of them rolling around and reaching for the injured body part. I'll probably start a single player Old School playthrough to keep the conflicting systems out of my head.
Nope, but you shouldn't worry. I did the same. Old school feels like a nod to fans of the series while hardcore is more difficult; bullet time runs out more quickly, and more realistic damage (head shots will kill you).

I thought it just progressivly more difficult. So hardcore is even harder?
I'd say so. You only need to watch your health on Old School. Hardcore requires judicious use of bullet time along with deadlier enemies.

OMG I cannot for the life of me get this game to work on my PC. I am at my fucking wits end with this thing. I have even deleted the entire game and reinstalled it TWICE and it still won't work. It will launch, go the title screen where it says press enter to start and won't do anything. I get a 'pop up' for a few seconds about Social Club and pressing OK to tie my accounts together but the mouse arrow disappears behind it so I can't click anything. I bought this game along with GTA IV and LA Noire Thursday afternoon and still haven't been able to play it. WTF?
Actually another thing is Friday night I was getting the pop up to sign in to Social Club but it kept hanging up after I signed in and wouldn't go past that. Now it is just doing the above.

Here's how I felt the difficulties played:
Easy: Standard easy mode
Normal: Standard normal mode
Hard: Standard hard mode
Each of the above difficulties are self-explanatory
Old School: A special Hard mode with no Last Man Standing (i.e. your painkillers will not be automatically consumed when you're near death - you will instead instantly die)
Hardcore: One step above Hard mode. Think Veteran or Insanity from Gears/COD/Mass Effect. But Last Man Standing is allowed, so some people may find this harder than Old School depending on how often they utilize the Last Man Standing feature
New York Minute: Timed Normal mode with no deaths allowed in one chapter
New York Minute Hardcore: Timed Normal mode with no deaths allowed in the whole game

Thanks! Though I did manage to figure out what was wrong. I was making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Oh wow. Where are you from?
In the middle of Russia. Game is PAL and back side says "Made in EU" and "Not for supply in the UK".
I'm starting to remember that I've seen this edited girl in some newspost long time ago, but Google gives nothing.
That sucks. At least she looks nice in that shirt.
I remember having that problem one time, just stuck in a loading screen. I think I had to pick another chapter til that one loaded and then things seemed to work properly.

Sorry to brought up an old thread, but does this game has any kind of 5.1 surround or anything? There is two surround option I can see: surround side and surround rear, which one should I use?
