picked up the max payne bundle on sale, and have pretty much ejaculated myself inside out over it (though i prefer 1 over 2.)
and although i can't run it so i have no [I]honest[/I] opinion of it, my personal view at a glance of max payne 3 is basically "what the shuddering fuck have they done"

Max Payne 3 is actually very awesome game if you just think of it as a more of less a separate game from the first two. It's as fun as the rest even though many things have changed.

But it's changed so much that the only thing linking the game to the other two is the guy you're playing as is called Max Payne. There isn't any continuity with the previous stories, making MP3 a lot more different. I would have preferred if they've just stuck with the ingredient they knew worked Remedy and MP1/2.
Also, this is pretty much the signature style of Rockstar. They've never made a direct sequel to a game that's story had to do with the previous game in the series'. Ever.

also, that may come off as me not liking the game. I absolutely [i]loved[/i] it! I just think I would have loved it even more if they just kept with the same formula. But uh, props to them for trying something new I guess. They kind of succeeded.

It kept continuity, the story was set 9 years afterwards so it just wasnt a direct continuation off the ending of max payne 2.
Then again, they did reverse the depression about wife thing, but still.
jesus how do i max payne 2 on win 7
MP2 should work fine on win7. What errors are you getting?
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;39103253]MP2 should work fine on win7. What errors are you getting?[/QUOTE]
the process runs forever and does nothing when I try to launch the game
It doesn't even get to the configuration settings?
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;39103261]It doesn't even get to the configuration settings?[/QUOTE]
Like that menu that popped up before MP1? nope nothing like that
I read around and think it's my drivers causing the problem so I'm gonna try rolling them back
Check if your antivirus isn't allowing it to boot up.
[QUOTE=Reflectent;39103271]I'm gonna try rolling them back[/QUOTE]
this worked, fucking amd
thanks though potatoarmada <3

I enjoyed it, I just wish it'd actually let me play. You don't need 10 minute cutscenes (3+ hours total for the whole game) to tell a good story, MP1 told a better one with graphic novel pages and gameplay.
Also max is mopey as fuck and doesn't act like max, the whole game is just depressing, and not in a good, deep, philosophical way. It just makes me think "Come on max, get back in the action and stop crying, you're max fucking payne"
But I could deal with all the writing issues, character change of Max Payne and dialogue that you'd never hear Max say, if they'd made the cutscenes a decent length
Maybe storytelling wise Rockstar thought that 3 times is not the charm?
I was disappointed that Max wasn't more humourous. In the first game he dealt with his depression in a much more subtle way and was always ripping on his enemies, like making fun of Frankie Niagara or answering the phone with "we come to you live from the crime scene".
In the second he was more depressed, but it was shown and not told, like the option for the player to check his answering machine and hear his lonely calls. There was also extremely subtle things like the way his apartment changes in his dream so that his wedding ring is lying next to him on a table. He wasn't constantly telling the player directly how he feels all the time, and the humour was still present.
In Max Payne 3 he spends the entire game with the exact same depressed demeanor, going on and on about his spontaneous alcoholism like a broken record. Also apparently he doesn't dream anymore.
I completely agree. It's not a bad story, but it's not the old Max Payne. Especially after MP2 it seemed he completely got over his family's death. He really needed to lighten up during the game. At least he stops drinking so fucking much in the last third of the game.
"I had a dream of my wife. [sp]She was dead, but it was all right.[/sp]"
that line hit me really hard and made me smirk with semi-happiness. and to know that they simply tossed away that massive wham-ending to MP2 makes me feel somewhat cheated.
You don't need to spoiler tag the thing about his wife being dead. The plot of pretty much all of the games goes on about it a lot.

I think the line itself is quite revealing about the ending though.

This is why I don't consider Max Payne 3 canon.

Eh, I dunno, Max Payne 3 pretty much ignores its meaning.

I mean the Max Payne 2 ending. It's like the end of Max's character arc.
The prequel comic to 3 that Sam Lake wrote with Hauser gives Max a lot more better reason to be as depressed as he is in the game. I just wish they included all that stuff in the game.
I was unable to read the second comic, does it explain it in that one?

It was one of them that i was unable to read cause of marvel.

Bravura survived getting shot at the hospital in Max Payne 2 and was probably one of the only people that listened to Max about [sp]Winterson not being all she seemed to be[/sp], willing to support Max. Then he died of a heart attack a few months later. Max got booted from the force with little support, his [sp]forced kill of Winterson along with Mona's death[/sp] still haunted him greatly, and his life just sorta went to shit in the following years. His wife's death probably crawled back up after all this back to the forefront as a primary point of it all.
I wouldn't mind Max being a bit depressed. But making him extreme alcoholic, smoker and painkiller user was a bit too much. At least the ending in MP3 felt Max was at peace again.
Got Max Payne 3 Christmas is multiplayer worth it?
So I beat max payne 1 and 2 today/last night and I have to say that it blew my mind
MP2 had the perfect bittersweet ending imo
So this is an experiment on what happens if you replace any of Payne's tops with a multiplayer avatar's upper torso [Img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/funny2.png[/Img]

Same bug like when you mix Niko's top with Luis's jacket and viceversa, I guess it's miles better than a crash right?
When life gives you lemons, at least you're not Max Payne.
