[QUOTE=Tuskin;36211899]oh I don't enable v-sync[/QUOTE] My game runs jittery enough without more lag to add to the mix, so I see your point. Anyway, on a side note, I wish there was an easier way to get together with the other crew members. I would rather join a crew's game instead of creating a party and inviting. Maybe even having Crew Only playlists and Crew Battle for Feuds etc.
What happened to the contest where people could become characters in-game? I haven't seen any of those characters in-game.
I hope they don't make more Max Payne games. This would be a great end for the series.
Sam Lake and James McCaffrey won.
[QUOTE=Ghost101;36210149]Yeah, there's not really any reason for him to be such as mess with MP2's ending.[/QUOTE] I do agree, but alcoholism is in addiction by itself. He most likely became severely addicted well before he came to terms with the death of his family.
[QUOTE=simkas;36211639]The way it ended pretty much ensures there will not be another Max Payne game.[/QUOTE] Though what happened between MP2 and MP3? I mean at the end of MP2 [sp]Mona lives[/sp]. So how does Max go from that to again drunk as fuck wasting away in a bar? If that left room for this, wouldn't be hard to make a sequel. [sp]I mean Max is now without a job, without contacts and nowhere to go, so he could easily relocate somewhere else, get pulled into some shit and there we go.[/sp]
[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;36212005]What happened to the contest where people could become characters in-game? I haven't seen any of those characters in-game.[/QUOTE] there's eight of them Jacelyn (Comando Sombra female) and Hamish (UFE male) are two of them I'm pretty sure

Hey all, I tried playing today and it says it could not find the executable on my machine..I think it's talking about maxpayne3.exe, and it's not in the folder..can someone copy and upload theirs and see if that would work? Maybe send in a PM. Thanks Edit: Actually, it is in there but it says to run from launcher, then when I do it gives me that error..what are all the exe files needed in the folder?
Oh, found 'em [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/maxpayne3_twittermulti_first4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/maxpayne3_twitter_finalfour.jpg[/IMG] So yeah, Hamish is one of them and the De Marco female is another, not sure which one the other female is, guy farthest right on second pic is a De Marco too, I think (or a Punchinello, one or the other), the asian guy is Comando Sombra, I think, and the rest I ain't sure then again, maybe they are all on the faction models in which they are shown in the images, heh
They could just do another one between 2 and 3, where Mona does die, instead of having to retcon it.
I want a see Remedy do a spiritual successor to Max Payne Alex Casey [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq73mEdEKcw[/media]
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;36212219]I thought the canon ending was that [sp] mona died? [/sp][/QUOTE] Finishing on maximum difficulty gives a different ending. Now which one is canon, no idea.
[QUOTE=imadaman;36212329]They could just do another one between 2 and 3, where Mona does die, instead of having to retcon it.[/QUOTE] It's not really much of a retcon. To get the 'Mona lives' ending, you had to beat the game on the hardest difficulty - but it was more of a bragging rights reward of self-satisfaction then a 'true ending' kind of thing, since the effort actually [i]put[/i] into Mona living was just a two-three different panels and a slightly-shorter ending without actually changing anything else otherwise and then cutting to the credits.
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;36212425]I want a see Remedy do a spiritual successor to Max Payne Alex Casey [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq73mEdEKcw[/media][/QUOTE]I think 3 could have been way better just by giving Sam Lake a lot more input than he had.

I am apparently one of the selected runners-up from the May 19th XBL Social Club Event. Just got an email from Rockstar about it.

[quote]We've had a lot of positive feedback from the community on the launch of Max Payne 3 on PC and our support for a wide range of specs. That said, there are still a few commonly reported issues, and we'll be rolling out a series of patches that address these starting tonight. Issues fixed by tonight's patch are below. Our goal is to get everyone up and running as smoothly as possible so be sure to hit [url]http://support.rockstargames.com[/url] if you are having any specific issues. Compatibility Issues * Fixed reported issues with needing service packs, compatibility with incorrect OS. Various Crashes * Fixed a range of issues which could have led to crashes on startup and in-game. Audio Crash * Fixed reported issues of audio dropouts when no audio device was plugged in, or when the headphones/speakers disconnected while in game. Mouse Sensitivity * Fixed reported issues of mouse being sluggish, especially in prone and Shootdodge™. Increased top end range of mouse sensitivity, but kept the slider from 1-10, allowing the user more range in their sensitivity setting. Mouse Acceleration * Fixed reported issues of mouse acceleration affecting aiming, included commandline option to disable mouse acceleration, -nomouseaccel (In a future update, this will be added as an option in the Mouse Controls menu). Stretched Image / Wrong Aspect Ratio * Fixed reported issues of game locked in incorrect aspect ratio, or alt-entering and having incorrect aspect ratio. Added commandline option for locked aspect ratio as commandline option -aspectratio width:height (ie. -aspectratio 4:3 / -aspectratio 16:9) In a future update, this will be added as an option in the Graphics menu. Video Memory Reporting as 0MB * Fixed reported issues of the video card reporting having 0MB of video memory available. Users unable to adjust Graphics options because of this (Also helps fix stuttering on some video cards). We are aware of a few outstanding issues including multiplayer cheaters and hackers. Rest assured this will be dealt with in a forthcoming patch. [/quote]
[QUOTE=jason278;36214440]Christ...[/QUOTE] God can't save you now.
I hope that patch fixed my crashing issue too.
I hope they fix the dlc bug.
Bah, nope, still getting black screen after ~10 minutes of play.
My only problem is infinite loading in multiplayer...and also, i would like to try the game without mouse acceleration
