Hey, what's the multiplayer avatar customisation in this game like?
[QUOTE=Zethiwag;36330379]Hey, what's the multiplayer avatar customisation in this game like?[/QUOTE] You get to choose face hair shirt pants shoes hat and acessories and a few other things if i'm not mistaken. You don't get anything good at first though so you need to play and unlock it.
[QUOTE=Zethiwag;36330379]Hey, what's the multiplayer avatar customisation in this game like?[/QUOTE] You have like 5 fractions, each has male and female version...each char has multiple body parts customization, from head and torso to tattoes and shoes...plus, there's loadout items, for example, if you put balaclava in head slot, your character will wear balaclava (thief's mask)... Majority of items are locked, but you unlocke them by progressing through levels... Also, every gun can be customized, from silencers, to make-the-gun-lighter mods... tl:dr it's pretty deep
I really hope they patch the weapon balance soon. 1 hit kill semi-automatic sniper rifles? Pistols that kill with 2 hits? Fuck that shit.
Ok so I beat this game last night. It's good...but why the fuck do they completely ignore the past games. There's no MENTION of the drug V...and also the game gets REALLY hard towards the end so you die like a million times.
[QUOTE=Insane516;36329617]max payne is a video game meant for shooting people, if you're looking for a story you'd better get a book or a script or something - the developers shouldn't change the game itself because you think there isn't enough depth - there is, and it is clear to see what and who max is because he literally [B][U]narrates everything he does[/U][/B][/QUOTE] Whoa, easy. English is not my first language and sometimes I don't find the right words. I know we get to know a lot about Max. He's anything but a shallow character. I was merely trying to voice my opinion that it's more immersive to have a more complete control over a game character. Think HL2, where you'd still be able to move, or at least look around during the cutscenes. I found that to add immensely to the game's atmosphere and to "our" identification with Gordon Freeman. And in that respect, I find Max Payne 3 to be lacking. It often feels more like watching a movie with interactive action sequences.

One of the clues on the favela missions where there are lots of graffiti. Vinnie Gognitti and Nicole Horne is also mentioned and so is Winterson.

Just imagine it. Also, they should make a classic map pack or something. I'm not usually the kind of person who likes those things, but duking it out in the hospital or Vodka/Ragnarok would be pretty cool.
i got the coolest idea Max Payne 1 and 2 bundle remade with max payne 3 engine, improved everything to bring it MP3 with MP1 and MP2
will cost too much to do and console users won't want it probably
I just figured out that RPGs lock on to people. I shot it at the top of a chest high wall someone was hiding behind and it bounced off flying upwards, it then [i]looped around[/i] and blew him up. They are bouncy as hell but surprisingly useful.
I can't wait until we can view models so I can see if Rockstar really did model the interiors of the guns.

Bought it, own and play the last 2 so might as well finish it off.
Anyone else kind of bothered by this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3olDVIKchfs[/media]
[QUOTE=Nikota;36335161]Anyone else kind of bothered by this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3olDVIKchfs[/media][/QUOTE] more bothered by them turning gold then normal then gold again
i've noticed in some cutscenes max randomy has a mac 10 or something even though i don't even have one at the moment. it's like ok wtf who's randomly putting shit in his hands
I turned gold off. I just don't like gold weapons.
[QUOTE=Nikota;36335392]I turned gold off. I just don't like gold weapons.[/QUOTE]I wish you could still have the golden gun effects without having the golden guns.

There's no MENTION of the drug V...and also the game gets REALLY hard towards the end so you die like a million times.[/QUOTE] There's little to no mention of the drug V in the second game as well. It's almost completely irrelevant by Max Payne 3 so why even bother mentioning it again? Obviously the drug hasn't gone overseas and obviously it wasn't notorious on a global scale. Hell, the only reason it existed was because of it being exploited in MP1 (with regards to the story). Other than that, it's virtually contained and over with since Max killed everyone who'd even supply or distribute the drug anyway. Everything else sounds like a personal problem. Anyway, that auto sniper is OP as fuck. It's ridiculous how you're just pretty much waiting for the reticle to turn red and you click once--->insta-death. Then it's semi-automatic so even if it missed the first time, you'll bet your ass your name's on the bullet after. No matter where you're hit too. That's just ridiculous. I feel bad that when I want to rape shit I just pull out my fully upgraded .45's and just lay waste to the field. That's all it takes to be "good" in this game I guess. I'm now playing around with the AK47 though, that's actually a pretty damn good weapon.
just bought the game,started downloading in my super 122 KB connection let my pc on for 2 days and my progress is 3 GB / 27 GB Its a progress!!!!!! remaining time according to steam a week

Personally, I think the best Max Payne game would have MP1's story, MP2's gameplay, and MP3's engine. And maybe MP2's story added on.
I like MP3's gameplay, but I could do without the cover reliance. A whole MP1 and MP2 combined into one game on MP3's engine would be pretty rad though. MP1 face FTW [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596972801508948748/B1442373848A0EB7DC0BB8994E44F84F2EBA0236/[/IMG] and Max Payne: FPS edition [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595846361400767696/3DCD81816C0430D5F1C7B9AF6EEB94AB5C7D2534/[/IMG]
I like Max Payne 2's gameplay because it felt the most fast paced and stylish. The first game was too bullshitty, and the third game kept forcing you into cover. The problem is, in Max Payne 2 it felt like you were shooting a bunch of cushions stuffed with red powder.
The only thing that really bothered me for some reason is when max takes out both his weapons when opening doors.
[QUOTE=Nikota;36335161]Anyone else kind of bothered by this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3olDVIKchfs[/media][/QUOTE] There's also something like that in the Favela part, at the beginning Max has a 1911 in his holster, but when those thugs mug him, he has a desert eagle instead.
