Max Payne Series - Megathread - Games

Unless I'm missing something this multiplayer is pretty bad. I've played 3 matches and it mostly consists of people going to the highest point on the map and camping with that semi-auto gun I need to grind to reach. Feels more like third person Call of Duty with worse hit detection then a Max Payne game.

I get around this by using the RPG which can get people hidden behind camping spot #18462 pretty easily. also what is the difference between hardcore and old school? the description for old school makes it sound like the difficulty is above hardcore withthe removal of last stand.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;36584179]By the way, in case anyone was wondering: They aren't putting the DLCs on the in-game store. If you don't have MP3 PC on Steam, you gotta buy the Rockstar Pass and other DLCs from retailers: [img]http://puu.sh/Fap5[/img][/QUOTE] So you can't choose to buy individual DLCs if you bought the game retail? What the fuck is this? GAME aren't even selling the Rockstar Pass for the PC version.

[QUOTE=Dr Bob;36589512]So you can't choose to buy individual DLCs if you bought the game retail? What the fuck is this? GAME aren't even selling the Rockstar Pass for the PC version.[/QUOTE] You probably will be able to, it just isn't available yet.

That's fucking stupid.

Is it just me or is the Max Payne 3 single player one of the hardest games of recent times? I've literally retried the Becker airport shootout 10 times now and I'm still not anywhere close to completing it. When I'm behind cover and 15 people are aiming for my head as soon as I pop out, what should my strategy be? It doesn't help that enemies only get dizzy the first 4 times you shoot them in the face. [b]Edit:[/b] Finally.

I'm still amazed about how great the art direction is in this game. The levels with incredible detail, the character design, everything.

i dont, you become too reliant on it and it takes out some of the difficulty

My strategy was: Take cover, use some non-dodge Bullet Time and pop out to take out a couple enemies, shootdodge to get behind new cover, rinse and repeat with the occasional running out of cover in BT. If you don't use bullet time at least, even out of shootdodge, it becomes ungodly difficult to do much about enemy bullets.

I never shootdodge, it screws me over more than it helps.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;36591820]i dont, you become too reliant on it and it takes out some of the difficulty[/QUOTE] Different strokes for different folks, in that case. I'd love to use just bullet time, but it costs so much, in Hardcore you only get about 6 seconds of efficient bullet time without shootdodge.

I don't want to start a console sucks thread, but after getting this on PC after playing through some of the first levels on PS3, the difference in controls is Night and Day. It really made me enjoy the game more. For me Max Payne was always about freedom of Movement and Aim, and I don't think you experience that full feeling when you have to take cover behind a wall all the time, at least that's how it felt when I was playing on PS3.

I like consoles, but just from playing Max Payne 3 on the PC I can tell it's vastly superior in controls alone. You need so much precision with aiming that it's ridiculous.

This is the hardest game I've played this generation. Atleast the hardest shooter.

Oh, I found how to make this game a lot easier. Just never use painkillers manually. Stock them up and every time you are about to die the game goes into slow motion and gives you a chance to come back. After dying over and over on the [sp]Panama[/sp] part I cleared the [sp]condemned building[/sp] part without a single death and with like 5 painkillers left. Why even let you take the painkillers manually if it's worse?

You'll get shot up before you can run and get behind cover.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;36596008]Taking them manually will heal more and every time you go into last stand you'll be on the floor.

[editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] Of course I could be wrong.

[editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] Of course I could be wrong.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure you're right. However, LMS has a habit of not working to the player's advantage, such as when an enemy ducks behind cover, or when Max gets shot in the back and takes a second or two to fully turn around to be able to shoot the enemy. The way I do it is, I try to keep some spare Painkillers or two incase of emergency but use what I can inbetween major gunfights to keep Max's damage low for an optimal performance next fight.

Just finished it. Last chapter is sweet. Singleplayer overall was really fun except for the frustrating difficulty spikes.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;36596008]Taking them manually will heal more and every time you go into last stand you'll be on the floor.

so when do you guys think rockstar will release the new dlc at what time

Probably sometime after midnight. If not then 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST.

I completely forgot the PC DLC isn't coming until the 17th. You got me excited. Fuck.

Is there a reason for this delay?

guys the dlcs and packs are out but for those who bought the rockstar pass are going to have to wait cause it aint showing up for me in the ingame marketplace EDIT rockstar pass buyers may now get the dlc !
