Ditto. All the New Jersey levels were a real highlight for me. Also, really helps you understand why Max just needed to get the hell out of the city.

I agree. In the first game his read was nice, droll, and understated, and then in Max 2 it was more forced, like he couldn't find the tone again. Now it's even more over the top. It's a shame, because I still like McCaffrey as the voice, just wish the direction had been a little better.

I spent the entire first chapter just constantly messing with the sensitivity until I could get it to where I liked(Though it's still not perfect). Kinda ruined the whole beginning of the game for me.
The new gameplay style really clicked with me around chapter 4 and ch.5+6 were a total blast. Really enjoying this game now.

Yeah, its not completely smooth for me on PS3 either. Kinda sucks but man the game can produce some visuals at points.
Also, I shot a dude and while he was moaning on the ground I spun him around like a top with 3 more bullets. Crazy ass death animations.

Sent a request to the Neogang crew.
PSN ID: SlLENTCAPYBARA (second letter is a lower cased "L", if anyone tries to send a request).
Looking forward to seeing everyone online.

yeah, it looks fantastic and has some great details. but for a shooter that requires perfect aiming (at least in free aim mode), the framerate is not helpful.
Holy fucking christ cakes... same god damn thing! I'm out of options...

I wish games like this were 60fps, I would rather sacrifice visuals for 60fps for a shooter. COD gets it right, there's a reason why it's so fluid and fun to control.
Simo how do I join the crew manI got your invite how do I accept it??

Chapter 7, already 300 headshots!

Hard is pretty brutal but extremely worth it once everything clicks. The Grinds are also fun as hell.

Killing time playing Batman AC and LA Noire. Nobody I know is buying it on the 360 so I'm waiting for the PC version.
Working on my bachelor thesis and blasting fools in BF3 keeps me busy. Keep it up bro.

I've finished my exams and I'm only busy a few days a week for the next few weeks, so I'm working away at my backlog, along with sociable stuff. Need to do the last bit of ME3, play through much of Skyward Sword, and my Steam backlog is eyewateringly huge, although some of those are time-sink games like Shogun 2.

Probably around 11 hours. I finished in about 9 and got maybe half of the collectibles.

I actually quite like it in this game. He sounds like he's becoming unhinged. His narration remains the same, but when he talks to people or shouts, I think he sounds more like a regular, natural person. And as we go on, he sorta sounds more... like I said, unhinged. Especially when he gets super-pissed.

Will be getting the game on Tuesday, I sent a request for the crew on Social Club.
Yeah, I love it. The bass settings on my speakers loves his voice too. Haha.
He has much more reason to be upset in this game and you really feel his anger in the reads in some of the later chapters.

Can someone briefly explain arcade mode? Is it literally the same levels from the campaign but just without cutscenes (but keeping score somehow)? Can you hide the score or is it always on screen?
I had one last night, but none since. It almost seemed like it was PSN, as I tried going on the PSN store afterwards and it wouldn't load.

I really like the voice so far. It plays well for an older, beaten Max. I makes sense the Max has been running that insane internal monologue for years and he must be kind of forcing it by that point in his life, just like the voice actor lol.
I don't have an issue with his dialog either. I feel like it's a good place between totally deadpan and the insanity from Max Payne 1. 'Dodging bullets like raindrops' was fun but it was also silly.
Maybe I shouldn't have started on hard, it's kicking my ass. I'm at the soccer field and I can't even break cover without losing all my health instantly. I can't imagine two hard modes than this.
WTF was wrong with the lasersight on that ealry rifle sequence. The end of the laser point was NOT where the bullets went. Sometimes you would see the traget pop up for a second and it wasn't close to where that sight would end.
When I play again, I'm using hard lock. Free Aim is going to be the end of me.

I haven't played it yet so I don't know if it's without cutscenes but I know it's timed. I assume it's like New York Minute except you can set the difficulty? Not sure but from what I read today, it's timed. That's all I know for sure. Keeps score and stuff.

Simo how do I join the crew man
If you go to your crews page you should see crews you've been invited to and can accept or deny.
This fucking game man....It's throwing everything at you and just because you think it's "Max in Brazil" it just keeps throwing curve balls at you and you're in all kinds of environments. Story is dark, dark, dark and brutal like somebody already said.
The moment at the bus depot with bald Max we first saw on Game Informer and in the footage. One of those areas in particular I had to reload over and over again just to try out different scenarios because the enemy placement and environment was perfect.
I also had one of the my favorite Final Kill-Cams there involving the Benelli M4 taking out a goon on a platform with neon sign and slowing down the pellets from the round all the way until it hit the guy and breaking some of the sign....only that wasn't the end as the force of M4 caused the guy to also step and fall back and here I am still holding A as his body tumbles to the ground with his final death scream echoing on the way down.
Glorious.

Exactly what I was reffering to. It felt WAAAY off. I had to finally adjust to where It looked like I was shooting over thier shoulder just to hit them.
edit: damn I really need to proofread my posts
I'm using an early IE at the moment and it doesn't tell me when I screw up

Played this for a bit last night when a buddy brought it over. I will be buying it now when it comes out on PC! The game has great gunplay and im liking the story and mechanics of the gameplay so far. I will say the story sequences totally remind me of the movie Man on Fire. The way certain words pop up when they are talking, the way max drinks and I realized he is in south america (like Man on fire). There are some likenesses between those 2 stories in the beginning.

So is there any particular reason for the disc split on 360? Is it just the level of detail in levels or the size of the campaign?
The game uses quite a bit of FMV to mask load times, and very high quality FMV at that.
Oh FUCK. I totally forgot it was out later. Lame! I was going to buy it tomorrow too...

Anyone else playing multiplayer on 360 feel like today is a lot more laggier than yesterday? A lot of more bullcrap is happening like enemies rubberbanding and shots not being detected.
Was flipping through the NYTimes today and had to chuckle when I saw an ad for Macy's:
had this picture of a guy standing next to a helicopter, with the headline "Sao Paulo". The guy looks VERY similar to someone in the game
I wonder if the ad was intentional or just a random happening

Just starting Chapter XI, and at this point I can barely contain my excitement for Grand Theft Auto V. Nobody else is doing work like these guys.
I played a bit of multiplayer on the PS3 today and had similar issues; it was down for a bit last night, which makes me think that the servers are being overwhelmed right now.

From watching some gameplay, a few of the cutscenes seem completely pointless. Like Passos walking down a corridor. Seriously, why not just let us follow him and have him talk at the same time?
