Max Payne Series - Megathread - Games

I'm afraid this is gonna be one of those games to where I buy every single dlc, still looks fun thow.

I was going to buy the Rockstar Pass, but it didn't accept either of my 2 credit cards, and then I decided it would be a bad investment if I would have nobody to play with. You know, because nobody's going to be playing the multiplayer in a year. Oh yeah and this [quote]Today we're pleased to confirm that the Hostage Negotiation Pack, the next piece of Max Payne 3 Multiplayer DLC, will be available across all platforms on [B]Tuesday, October 30th.[/B] Available free of charge to Rockstar Pass holders and for either 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or $9.99 on PlayStation Network and PC, the Hostage Negotiation Pack includes four new multiplayer maps specifically designed for intense online action plus [B]new items and weapons as well an entirely new avatar faction.[/B] [/quote] [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1349819985.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1350085700.jpg[/IMG] [quote]Arm bandages and face tattoos are just a few of the accessories that you can equip on your Filhos De Ogum avatar.[/quote] [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1350085719.jpg[/IMG] [quote]Each faction's customized Heavy Helmet will reduce all damage taken to the head by 75%.[/quote] [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1350085737.jpg[/IMG] [quote]Gear up if you plan to take control of the O Palácio Strip Club located in the center of the favela.[/quote]

It's sad the MP is dying. The fact it takes them quite a while to release these DLCs doesn't help. I don't know how to feel about the maps they are adding with these packs. They are clearly areas you visited in the SP. The one that stands out is the Hoboken Rooftops which was free and quite big. And they take their sweet time to fix some other bugs.

Wasn't there supposed to be a co-op DLC released soon?

That is coming around December I think.

God why do I even bother updating this thread. Layouts of the new DLC maps have been released. The club looks radass. This is coming out next week by the way (Oct 30th) [t]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1349738104.jpg[/t] [t]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1349738067.jpg[/t] [t]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1349738032.jpg[/t] [t]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1349737976.jpg[/t] There is also a new title update that fixes some things. [quote]General improvements to multiplayer, improving overall stability and matchmaking efficiency Added the option to copy one of your Loadouts into an empty custom slot Fixed an issue where wins and losses were reported incorrectly on leaderboards Fixed an issue where explosive kills were not working as intended in Arcade Mode Fixed an issue where newly created Crews and Emblems would not always appear in-game Fixed an issue where dual wielding the PT92 and .38 revolver and firing until the ammunition runs out could cause the weapons to jam[/quote] Happy Halloween [IMG]http://uppix.net/2/f/1/14452dedbf878d7a1eb2b018eb2ea.gif[/IMG]

My game crashes at the auto updater and nothing I've tried fixes it. I would play more if it weren't for this.

I wonder if the update fixed locked chapters that should already be unlocked.

There's another [B]triple XP weekend[/B] whoop because I didn't really play the last one. Plus, if you play a game of the Social Club multiplayer event tomorrow (Friday October 26th from 4-7pm ET / 9pm-midnight BST), you get a free skull mask for Halloween. This is for all 3 platforms. [IMG]http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1350947522.jpg[/IMG] You'll also get another one if you're a member of a founder crew (Crew that was created before MP3 was released). The Social Club event page has a [URL="http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/multiplayer-events/index"]countdown[/URL] if you don't know when it starts. There's also some other skulls, but I don't know if they're revealed yet. I saw some of them when I was looking around in the Max Payne 3 files. They're pretty cool.

I didn't try MP yet so I don't know if some of the bugs I encountered there are fixed but as for Story mode the last 2 chapters are still locked in mission select. But at least when I start at the end of chapter 12 it loads the next chapter.

Vent to play this game for a second time since launch Opened it up, and then this happens: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/b2yzB.jpg[/IMG] Why the fuck is it in Chinese!? and how do I get it back to English?

Put -language english in launch options.

Did anybody get any masks? I joined and completely finished 2 Social Club event matches while in a founder crew, but I didn't get shit. I don't think I got triple XP, either.

This might sound a little weird... but my Max Payne 3 statue from the special edition has been progressively leaning more to the left as time has been going on. And apparently it's not uncommon that it's been doing this to people. The cheap plastic must be giving way to the heat or something. Now I'm sad. :(

I framed my 4 posters that came with my special edition and then I was going to buy a plastic case for my statue. :v: If anybody would like to know, Rockstar left the info for what's in the next DLC pack in the files for people with the Rockstar Pass. Yacht, Panama Canal, the Church/funeral home and a subway (hint hint: it's not a Brazilian subway) as well as 2 new assault rifles and 2 new factions.

Any idea what the factions might be? I got the new DLC, the new hobo faction is pretty funny and the maps look nice. I still haven't played them though. I only played few rounds and realized I got a bit rusty. Oh and this DLC once again locked the last two chapters for me. Not even starting at the end of chapter 12 lets me go further.

The 2 new factions for the next DLC should be the guys at the Panama Canal and the yacht guests. Yeah.

Meh, those doesn't sound too exciting. I'm really looking forward to only the coop. Then again I have idea how it's gonna work. 2 people against bots?

[QUOTE=Marden;38291507]Meh, those doesn't sound too exciting. I'm really looking forward to only the coop. Then again I have idea how it's gonna work. 2 people against bots?[/QUOTE] Hoo man. I didn't realize there were some sound files included in the next DLC's files. It seems like the DeMarco crime family goes to the Panama Canal. That's weird as shit.

I found a bug, doesn't really bother me THAT much but I would prefer if it was fixed. When you give the faction's avatar Max head he then says Max's lines. With the new faction Max talks in Portuguese.

What the crap, when I install MP3 on steam it installs on a foreign language and I have no idea how to even get past the menu. It's like chinese or some shit

so i reinstalled windows 8 all over,copied max payne 3 over from my old HD to my new one but..... when i open the game the rock star games social club thing never comes up, i used to fix this by launching it manually but when i open renderer.exe it shows up" PLEASE LAUNCH THE GAME FIRST etc etc" help

Tomorrow there is going to be another Social Club Event/Triple XP weekend. You also have a chance to win another skull mask, if you did not get the two at the last event a few weeks ago.

On the skull mask: [quote]Following the recent Max Payne 3 Halloween themed multiplayer event when we featured special skull avatar unlocks, this Friday we'll be unveiling another one, this time with the Arcane skull mask (pictured above). The top 100 players per platform during Friday's Max Payne 3 multiplayer event will each receive the new skull mask, as determined by the leaderboards on the Social Club Multiplayer Events Page. If you wind up one of those top 100 players, the skull will become available to you as an unlock 24 hours after the multiplayer event finishes. And if you aren't successful - don't worry, there'll be more opportunities to unlock this and other skull masks coming soon.[/quote] aka impossible to get

Revisit the subway bloodbath from the original Max Payne in the Roscoe Street Subway map. Flashback to the dingy Hoboken watering hole at Marty’s Bar, open fire on the posh Branco family yacht in Shoot First and wage Gang Wars at Canal De Panamá. The Painful Memories Pack also includes the IMG 5.56 and UAR-21 assault rifles, new avatars, items and the Hangover Burst, which causes enemies to respawn with blurred vision, reduced stamina and health. Check out the first screens from this pack below, which will be available on December 4th for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE and $9.99 on PlayStation Network and PC (Rockstar Pass owners will receive this content at no additional charge).

I'm very glad they included Roscoe Street Subway though.
