Max Payne Series - Megathread - Games

my bad on saying you said it was about being realistic, when I should have said you said gta isn't supposed to be silly and that SA was the only one that was* also, thanks for pointing out my grammar mistake [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] look lets just stop arguing about GTA games in the max payne thread, fuck... there's a gta thread for a reason and fucking no body posts in it

[QUOTE=Inzalonus;36039308]my bad on saying you said it was about being realistic, when I should have said you said gta isn't supposed to be silly and that SA was the only one that was*[/QUOTE] That's not what I was saying. In San Andreas, they focused on making everything super silly and having a bunch of random crazy shit to do, but that lead to the story being a complete mess, a main character that is less likable and interesting than a shoe and a map that, even though was big, felt really dull and had zero atmosphere.

[QUOTE=simkas;36039149]No it doesn't. GTA isn't supposed to be silly, the only game that was silly is SA and it definitely wasn't the best in the series. [/QUOTE] sure looks like what you were saying to me

In any case, I hope the next GTA protagonist isn't yet another broken down shell of a man who is trying to escape from his dark past and seek redemption, only to be roped back into a life of sin etc etc. We've seen too much of that now.

it'd be nice to see someone that gets into a life of crime simply because they're poor... starting out with something like drug dealing, etc. But that doesn't sound like the case based on the trailer

[QUOTE=Inzalonus;36039348]sure looks like what you were saying to me[/QUOTE] Note how I say "it was silly and wasn't good", not "it was silly so it wasn't good".

[QUOTE=simkas;36039381]Note how I say "it was silly and wasn't good", not "it was silly so it wasn't good".[/QUOTE] ...stop trying to argue your way around it "the only game that was silly is SA and it definitely wasn't the best in the series" sounds like you're saying it was THE ONLY GAME THAT WAS SILLY, because you specifically said that, with the "it wasn't good" part being a seperate point due to the and, that's the only way i've taken your statement. If it's not what you meant at all, then please don't use the word only in such a way

[QUOTE=Jackald;36039361]Rockstar Games have changed as time's gone on. The level of maturity can be quite evenly seen over the course of GTA 3, VC, and SA (with SA having a bit of a schizophrenically serious start, silly middle, then serious end), and they evolved more into dark parodic comedy in GTA IV and EFLC, and then finally they've progressed into very serious games with RDR and Max Payne 3. Don't confuse dark humor for seriousness; a game can be dramatic and serious: I think we can agree that the endgame of GTA IV was very very intense and dramatic, but I think we can also agree that some of the missions were hilarious and silly too. GTA 3 --> Silly GTA VC --> Silly, with some drama to it GTA SA --> Serious/silly/serious, with a bit of darker comedy GTA IV --> Serious with dark comedy. GTA IV EFLC --> Serious with more dark comedy. RDR --> Very serious and dramatic. MP3 --> Very serious, borderline depressing. Also i'm not mentioning bully simply because i've never played it.[/QUOTE] Uh, I think you are forgetting something. Rockstar Table Tennis? That was pretty deppressing.

[QUOTE=Jackald;36039418][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMzU5GGE2Q4&t=2m50s[/media] 2:40 specifically is the kind of thing i'm on about. CJ's like a fucking billionaire by this point, why the hell is he dicking about in "DA HOOD"?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL6n0FJZpk&ob=av2e[/media] because he wants to be like dre?

Oh wow, when people said the game's hard, they weren't kidding. Admittedly, part of the difficulty is thanks to aiming; I've tinkered around with the settings and it's great now, but it still takes a while to get used to. And I keep shootdodging at walls and such.

CJ's like a fucking billionaire by this point, why the hell is he dicking about in "DA HOOD"?[/QUOTE] That whole conflict in the end was fucking dumb. CJ comes back with a bunch of money and shit so his family doesn't have to live in a shitty neighbourhood where drug dealers are around every corner and people get killed every minute, but Sweet just goes "NO FUCK YOUR MONEY WE GOTTA STAY IN DA HOOD AND BE POOR".

Hope they let us preload soon.

Ugh, can't play online, can't open the social club site. Fix your shit R*. Anyway, killing has fucking [i]never[/i] been this satisfying in a game. I keep dying literally all the time but I don't care - I die at AWESOME parts and I get to play them again and again.

game freezes after last guy on rooftop. :suicide:

I'm quite annoyed at how fucking long the pc release is after the console for this game. This due to the usual console marketing cocksuckery or is there a legitimate reason for like a 2 week delay?

There is no legit reason for a 2 week delay.

They probably didn't want to compete with the Diablo 3 release.

Makes sense that a company with a track record of bad PC ports would not want to compete with a long awaited and hyped PC title.

[QUOTE=Kirby106;36040075]What are your control settings?[/QUOTE] Free Aim with all the tracking and such turned off, with H/V speeds at 6 and aiming acceleration at 7. Now I haven't tried everything but these settings are great, not seeing any of that clunkiness and slowness some people have had problems with.

Holy shit, you can use the right stick to move the camera while paused. Like the old pause screen but better! Did anyone else know this? How late am I?

[QUOTE=MrHolland;36041022]Holy shit, you can use the right stick to move the camera while paused. Like the old pause screen but better! Did anyone else know this? How late am I?[/QUOTE] Pretty late. It is fucking awesome though, I agree. Now if they only added an ability to take screenshots with that..

I'm on the final level and I only just found this out. Now to play through again pausing every time I jump through some glass or make something cool happen. [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] My automerge!

[QUOTE=Jackald;36039199][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vCabDh3c5Q[/media] This is a John Woo film, (Flaming Brothers a Heroic Bloodshed Movie, specifically) an example of the stylistic genre Max Payne takes inspiration from. Notice how frequently they end up changing guns. It's rare to see anyone use the same gun for more than like 5 seconds.[/QUOTE] Sorry for offtopic, but I turned off* when I saw bullets bouncing off his jacket. Seriously?

Flaming Brothers isn't a John Woo movie.

"If Max Payne was a pro wrestler, he'd be Max Payne" best one
