Also, look for a proper widescreen patch for both games in the steam forums or web at large. Don't think it was ever patched in.

Wait how am I even going to install Windows 10 on a new HDD if I can't get boot media to work? I hate this so much. The X51 was a mistake.

I really liked Afro Samurai back then.
The sequel is awful so far. Blood effects suck. I'm not sure if you can even die in this game. I just mash X until the enemies die, there don't seem to be any combos. Also I have not seen the focus mode yet (that lets you dismember the enemies wherever you want). Truly dissapointing game.

It's pulp noir in that it's trashy red edged paper cheap dime store pulpy noir.

i mean Max Payne is textbook pulp noir yo

And Max Payne 3 fits right into that vague, opened ended definition. Case closed! Or not because it doesn't entirely take place at 2 AM in a back alley.

Damn, that sucks. Thanks for informing.
I had high hopes for this game. I really enjoyed the first
Thanks for the impressions.

max payne 3 literally starts you off at a swag brazillian party up high in a sweet pad with well to do socialities and there's daylight everywhere.
that's like the opposite of pulp noir.
Also, they made him a shittier character in MP3 and i got that from just the first few internal monologues in the game. He just kinda sucks.

Thank you~ It seems like this is what I should download:
Max Payne Widescreen Fix V2
Max Payne 2 Widescreen Fix V2
Next thing is to check for controller support. I wonder if I should just use KB/M though.
Microsoft are dickwads that don't let you reuse your old key to do fresh installs of windows 10.
If you can install it over another one, you can sort of grab a new windows 10 key you should be able to use to install it, but...
it's a fucking roundabout, "fuck you consumer" way.

I played through all of MP2 with an xpadder profile. It's totally doable.

No mods make MP3 instantly inferior. There's some great stuff available for the first two. Don't get me wrong, I still liked 3 and it remains the best Rockstar game since Vice City but it's too bloated to ever consider replaying it. Meanwhile I could go for another playthrough of 2, its main problem (too short) has become a strength in hindsight.

Windows 10 saves itself to the mobo and account right? So that if a new HDD is in there it'll be ok right? If I can ever get to that point.
Literally everything in this description is in MP3
In theory, I think (if your mobo is new enough)

Welp I'll see how it goes. Worst comes to worst. I'll be PCless and no longer welcome here.

Just going by your wiki link two thirds of the game has you on your own(against impossible odds) in an urban environment full of corruption and drugs laid out with Rockstar's typical subtlety.
But you spend time at a party for 20 minutes of a 12 hour game. Not noir bro.

Hopefully this means the PC Beta is on its way soon as well.
There's mods for 3 too, but yeah, mostly cosmetic ones.

You can always replay the stages you like via the arcade mode. The only stage I'd consider poor in Max Payne 3 is the docks and they've since patched it. Used to be broken because the ladders didn't work so falling into the water at the end meant instant death.

That would just be a bigger headache I'm sure
I'm surprised they kept Shogun 2 for the 2nd week, since it's probably the best TW for newcomers, and still expensive on Steam. You'd think they'd want that in from the start.

There's nothing urban about how MP3 starts. But i've also only played like 30 minutes of it so maybe the rest of the game takes place at night in dark alleys and homes in the projects with a mix of nasty drug issues and corruption everywhere
maybe it's just not good at it because it tries for film noir instead of pulp noir but kinda flops around and doesn't really do a good job at either

Or maybe you played thirty minutes and have no idea what you're talking about. The funniest thing about the wiki snippet you copy pasted is it describes Max Payne 3 to a t.

I'll come back to this argument when i finish the game but i already know that I wont like how the story is told compared to MP and MP2. It's the main reason i turned it off after 30 minutes in the first place
what im saying is that you win for now but prepare yourself cause imma coming
i know, that's why i referred to it as a bad imitation of a crappy 00s tony scott film. It's almost immediately apparent
All the total war games are absolutely terrible at teaching newcomers how to play (I've played each one from M2 onwards), it's just that accidentally, Shogun 2's tutorial is the best.
the main thing it tries for is ripping off Man on Fire

Anyone have a spare Max Payne 1 copy/key lying around? Would like to play the whole trilogy back to back. I could pay a Dollar.
Two bucks can get you several great games in bundles. Nothing to scoff at.

Is it nothing but trash?
It's like a top-down adventure game and it looks crazy with all the colors and what not. You go around talking to people and activating kiosks and stuff. The end of the trailer had you playing pong and hacking the hi-score.

Max Payne is about shoot-outs that ape John Woo movies. ALL you do in those games is shoot people, and that's all they can be judged on in any meaningful way. If you like the Goofy mish-mash of Emo-noir/Norse stuff in 1& 2, good on you, but it's not objectively enjoyable/good and if someone (me) doesn't like it, it does those games no favors. It's tangential to gameplay.
MP3's shootouts are leagues ahead of the past games — as they should be — and is above about any other TPS out there. If it weren't for the intrusive cutscenes, it would be a game I replay forever. Hopefully a current/next-gen game furthers what 3 did right, because it was the greatest thing I've experienced in a shooter in ages.
I think she stops and starts over when she loses line-of-sight on an enemy.

I saw a facebook post saying he had scored three, and by the time I found a way to watch the game he was knocking in his fifth. Insanity.
