Crack is not out now? no need to DL it then

 

[DamageINC]

Well might as well download and install now, then you can be ready to play the minute crack is out. Crack should be out tomm or the day after.

 

[Sargass]

still have ME2 to install/finsih before start MP3

 

[DamageINC]

Played first two chapters, it's OK, not great. I think i just need to get used to the combat system. I've never played a Max Payne game before. I think I'll stick with ME2 for now.

Probably best to wait for blackbox repack on this game.

ah i cant play it

So i tested Max Payne 3...

Dont buy it...Save money to send some tomatoes to Rockstar Games....

After five chapters of the single player I'm already bored...And i was a huge fan of two first Max payne games but... I spent more time following the story than actually play ... I really feel like following an interactive tv show than playing a shooter ... In addition, where's the dark/surnatural atmosphere of the old max payne? Maybe later in the story, but after 5 chapters and 3 hours of play, I find it pretty long and soft ... and i know that the game will not last 30h.

Graphically:
config:Intel Dual core 2 E8500 3.16Ghz + 4Go RAM+ ATI radeon HD6850 1Go

It is well done, running in high-Very high settings (1680 * 1050) without problems ... It probably uses the engine of GTA 4 in view of the sluggish movement of the character and his sprint.
Failed part imo is that almost everyone knows that Max is a ex-cop-alcoholic-drug addict, to symbolize that they invented diffraction effect of light which they abuse during the cutscene (wich are too long ... or how to hide abominably long loading times with animated sequences), which personally makes me want to puke as much as that the hero must feel like ... I even asked myself if it wasn't an anti-cheat (as sway in GTA4) but not...just a graphical effect...crappy.

Gameplay:
Getting Started classic ...
I can't remember well but I think that to dodge into MP1 and MP2 did not trigger a bullet-time automatically, but now yes, what is sometimes painful ... Because
1) its emptying your bullet time gauge by half ...
2) I do not necessarily need a slow-mo to dive to cover ...FAST!

Similarly the aim that seems not well replaced when you prepare your view to exit from cover, it systematically aim next to where you think you have pre-aimed.
The camera changes to shoulder alone but worse than in a GTA game (Even San Andreas was better for that).
No more running around in a level as it is impossible for you to cross a door shut behind you ... and too bad for ammunition and other "secrets" u forgot.
I died a few times cause the script has decreed that your stupid character MUST catch his 1911 in his hand for the cutscene, even if there is no more bullet in, then you keep your fully loaded shotgun in the other hand and you must change back weapon while a huge bunch of enemies facing you ... Same with the MP5, the summit was reached during a QTE, where Max got me out a 1911 for killing an enemy while I have two Mac10 in both handgun slot (WTF?) ...

I think multiplayer can't save it...Young players will sure find it fun...But old farts who knows old Max Payne would sure use it like a ball trap target.

Spot on review.

 

[Predator']

I am personally not liking this game i reckon it strays too far from the original dark and twisted Max Payne series (like said in the above review by Sarg) it seems that as more and more companies release games into an already established series they focus way too much on new and improved gameplay systems and combat systems that a lot of the time fail. i think storylines should be more of a focus for game series like Max Payne.

 

[DamageINC]

I already uninstalled it. What a huge disappointment.

What idiot thought it would be a good idea to make horribly long Unskippable cutscene? Die> watch 3 hr cutscene........ fml. You cant even quit the damn game when one is on.

If max payne 1 and 2 you didn't have to bullet time to dodge, but the {DODGE} button defaulted to also include bullet time. There are several ways to work around this. Either double tap the direction you want to dodge in to dodge without using BT, or set a Dodge to one key and DODGE+BT to another key. You can also just turn on bullet time without dodging. I haven't played the new one. Maybe it's the same way?
