[QUOTE=A big fat ass;36438237]I don't know why everybody has trouble with that guy. I got him on the 3rd try on hard and the 1st on old school. You just have to stay under him and shoot him in the face a lot. Of course, it doesn't help if you run out of ammo - which I seem to have a problem with.[/QUOTE]My problem is the utter lack of painkillers; I had to rely on both pity painkillers to take him out. I hate the fact that so much as three shots from him will drop you. And on the topic of Max quotes; we need one of him saying "Jesus, what a fucking creep."

The shootout in the airport is amazing. The music gave me chills. Exhilarating game.
Finished Old School yesterday, easier than I imagined. Now for Hardcore to get the final difficulty achievement.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;36438181]Whoever designed the roof should be shot on sight. Seriously, would it have killed them to throw a checkpoint before the machinegunner?[/QUOTE] pretty sure that's the point of the level, to be actually really fucking hard I found it a pleasant challenge, pissed me off having to do it multiple times but that reminded me of the old school gaming days a lot (despite the lack of quick save) the whole level felt like it was a boss challenge in itself edit: overall I really liked the level design for that reason, you had to actually learn the levels in order to get better and get past, something which is lacking from a lot of more recent games

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;36438380]My problem is the utter lack of painkillers; I had to rely on both pity painkillers to take him out. I hate the fact that so much as three shots from him will drop you.[/QUOTE] Same here, but I don't have that trouble with machine gunner himself, rather than all of the cracha preto thugs. Typically because they'll get a lucky shot on me and I don't have any painkillers (usually right before the MG), or they'll hit me, but I don't have a clean shot during the painkiller save. The bulk of my deaths have been caused by me falling into the painkiller save mode and I just don't have a clean shot at the guy who shot me.
[QUOTE=Sobek-;36436368]I haven't played it yet, but is there any part in the game where max yells "STEEEEEEVE!!"?[/QUOTE] I miss his apathetic cries for mona.
[QUOTE=Vallux;36424950][I]It was like Baghdad with G-strings.[/I][/QUOTE] Gotta love those things.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;36438181]Whoever designed the roof should be shot on sight. Seriously, would it have killed them to throw a checkpoint before the machinegunner?[/QUOTE] Are you talking about [sp]the condemned hotel/organ hospital? The easiest way to kill him is to keep the barrett .50 cal you find just before the rooftop part. It kills the machine gunner in one hit.[/sp]
What's with these incredibly high scores for new york minute and score attack? Are the leaderboards still showing cheated scores?

Just bought Max Payne 3, waiting for the ridiculous 8 hour download now... What can I expect? Never really played the first two games (never was a shoot'em'up kinda guy, much prefered racing) but watched the Max Payne movie recently. Am I doing it all wrong?

Oh right, thanks for clearing that up! Is it worth trying to get copies of MP1&2? Simply for the story? I hear its pretty good.
You're asking a bunch of Max Payne fans, but yes.
[QUOTE=Sweeney;36446320]Oh right, thanks for clearing that up! Is it worth trying to get copies of MP1&2? Simply for the story? I hear its pretty good.[/QUOTE] The first two games have pretty damn good gunplay (albeit, MP2 is more refined), and while the stories aren't exactly.. [i]Unique[/i] on their own, the way they're delivered in the originals is what really makes Max Payne so different. The noir stylings, Max's narration and metaphors of the various occurences, the dark-yet-witty dialogue and events that occur. The third game is very serious with rare humor, but even the second game - more serious than the first, which didn't even take itself seriously - had a number of hilarious moments. Something about them just makes the series stand out from the rest, for some reason. v:v:v
I was playing through score attack on the docks. I was doing incredibly well and was right near the end with a score of about 27,000, but then my game froze and crashed. This is incredibly appropriate [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MboBCANXF0Q&feature=player_embedded[/media]
so ummmmmmmmm are you organizing any custom gamemodes soon
I tried to shootdodge and Max got on his knees and slid rock and roll style. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/558693454515993905/E688CD860A9F981EB6D729637214FB1D59C36404/[/img] Sorry Max, you're not a rock and roller :(
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;36443436]That's quite a spoiler in the video thumbnail, don't you think?[/QUOTE] [sp]Well, I think it's clear that he's one of the bad guys from the beginning, where his people start shooting downed Comando Sombras and Da Silva tries to stop them.[/sp] The other thumbnails are shit, too.
Do the bounty orders reward for just the top players, or anyone higher than you?

[QUOTE=Demeschik;36448821]I think it's just the single top player. [/QUOTE]Odd, it's been giving me some every time I kill somebody. And feuds just sort of happen, right? Sorry, I didn't really take the time to learn more about multiplayer.
Stop fucking posting videos with big spoilers in the thumbnails, Demeschik.
