Max Payne Series - Megathread - Games

[QUOTE=elowin;35839442]Funny, i'd prefer the exact oposite.[/QUOTE] Oh don't start this shit again.

Damn this game really is grim. I feel bad for the poor guy and I am barely an hour into the game. Max Payne 3 seems to have a completely different feel to it.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35840524]Which game is really grim? Are you playing Max Payne 1 or 2?[/QUOTE] Max Payne 1. Max Payne 2 seems very grim to from what I remember.

Really want to preorder off steam, but Im not sure I could tolerate the 32GB download.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35841581]It'll likely be compressed, right?[/QUOTE] Oh definitely. For the system specs they always display the files when they're uncompressed. It'll be a few gigs smaller, but not too much.

That Valhalla fan film was released the other day. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDLX92wkmtw[/media] It's really good for a 7 minute fan film. My only criticism is with how Max reads his lines.

[QUOTE=Dr Bob;35838105]Wouldn't make sense because Max said that [sp]his father joined his mother three years later.[/sp][/QUOTE] So what? That doesn't imply anything.

If they give me at least a week to preload, I'll preorder off steam.

[QUOTE=Killuah;35846463]So what? That doesn't imply anything.[/QUOTE] Uhh.

[QUOTE=Frozen;35830360]for those who haven't watched it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Ssz8PsxfY[/media][/QUOTE] The writing is so freaking impressive. Gotta love the style of cutscenes.

[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;35846889]If they give me at least a week to preload, I'll preorder off steam.[/QUOTE] They probably will...plus you get first two games and shipload of dlcs Also, one thing that annoys me in MP1 and MP2 is when you bullet time, max automatically stands up, and he is vulnerable for couple of seconds...and i like how they fixed that in MP3, you can stay on the ground, roll around and shoot at bad guys

Seeing as how this game is built on the RAGE engine. Doesn't that mean that we can hopefully get the same awesome recorder that was found in GTAIV? Would be really awesome to record slowmotion duels in multiplayer.

The amount of artsy slow-mo black and white shit on Social Club TV would multiply exponentially.

[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;35848562]I haven't been on it for a while, but I'm pretty sure that in MP2 if you keep shooting when you land, he'll stay down until you empty the clip.[/QUOTE] Yeah but after that he gets up and is vulnerable. so you better make sure you get all of them. [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] Another thing that bothers me is that sometimes I'll dive right in front of a cardboard box and that cardboard box is immune to bullets.

[QUOTE=Killuah;35837886]Thought it was a real one after [sp] he saw his dad with the new girl and talking shit about his mother[/sp][/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/tigr[/img] it clearly says replica.

Am I the only one disappointed with the "comic" storytelling in MP3? It just seems so out of place and looks very corny. I don't like that television effect look they are going after [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] Yeah it should look corny but this is [I]bad[/I] corny

It's not really comic like at all, just a cutscene with random pieces of dialogue and freeze frames.

I think it's supposed to represent how Max is in a daze of his nightmares overlapping his reality with the alcoholism/painkiller addiction. Something like that.

No I just think Rockstar just didn't want to do comic cutscenes.

[QUOTE=A big fat ass;35853479]I think it's supposed to represent how Max is in a daze of his nightmares overlapping his reality with the alcoholism/painkiller addiction. Something like that.[/QUOTE] Yep, they even say that on the gametrailers interview.

I don't know if it has been posted already, but this fella did a nice job: [video=youtube;lW5Jol1Bpj4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW5Jol1Bpj4[/video]

Anyone else loathe the cover art to this game?

Just finished max payne 2. It felt kinda short? It took me 6 hours to finish it to the first's 8 hours.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;35854129]Just finished max payne 2. It felt kinda short? It took me 6 hours to finish it to the first's 8 hours.[/QUOTE] There's also the fact that MP2 was much easier, with shootdodging being independent of the bullet time meter.

Well bad guys seem to be much better shots in the second so I dunno

Dammit, Max. Shouldn't you be fighting crime? [video=youtube;ScsxNXxldGo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScsxNXxldGo[/video] [video=youtube;7IzFtIzx-z8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IzFtIzx-z8[/video]

I like the use of the south-american drums, gives it the Sao Paolo tone Another cool fanmade thing: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLXd8xVAh4E&list=UUNnIcgTag_vkCX6jgMXek0g&index=1&feature=plcp[/media]
