Max Payne Series - Megathread - Games

Multiplayer on the 360 is frustrating, it feels like barely anyone is playing and the soft lock is the most populated rather than attempting to show an ounce of skill.

[QUOTE=markg06;36122189]Multiplayer on the 360 is frustrating, it feels like barely anyone is playing and the soft lock is the most populated rather than attempting to show an ounce of skill.[/QUOTE] To be honest, I found playing with soft lock a lot more fun than free aim. Not nearly as frustrating. I usually play FPS games with precise and super-fast aiming though, so that probably explains it.

Still on the edge of whether to buy the game or not. Rockstar has pulled the PC ports so crappily before I'm not sure I can trust them with my money until I see reviews. LA Noire was the last straw, buggy and unoptimized.

The recommended specs for max payne 3 are quite high as well

[QUOTE=Jackald;36122300]I'm so glad I don't have to deal with any of that bullshit on PC. My aiming skills are easily transferable from one game to the next and have been built up by 12 years of online shooters. Not that i'm saying PC IS DOMINATE, just that I can't stand aiming on consoles, never have. I always feel like "I could have hit that guy if I was on PC"[/QUOTE] Yeah yeah, I do agree with you. I only play pure shooters on consoles if they are exclusives, unavailable on PC. Then again, I don't play that much shooters. If the newer Halo games were to be released for PC, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

[QUOTE=ZakKa!;36122608]The recommended specs for max payne 3 are quite high as well[/QUOTE] [quote]Windows 7/Vista (32 or 64 bit) Intel i7 Quad Core 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent 3GB System RAM NVIDIA® GeForce 480 1GB RAM or AMD Radeon™ HD 5870 1GB RAM[/quote] They're not that high, there are games that have higher specs.

[QUOTE=simkas;36122653]They're not that high, there are games that have higher specs.[/QUOTE] They are high for a multiplatform game. a 5870 and an i7 quad core is pretty damn powerful and you can play the witcher 2 or battlefield 3 really well with those specs. Max Payne 3 looks good graphically but it's no witcher 2 or bf3. However, most of the time system requirements are a bad indiciation and we will have to wait untill launch to see for ourselves. I will wait with buying untill I am sure I can play the game well with my specs.

I'm playing with the [url=http://www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3/multiplayer/avatars]multiplayer avatar preview[/url] on the Max Payne 3 site, and then this guy popped up...

New multiplayer screens, oddly enough.

Why are they showing new console screens?

There hasn't been a single PC multiplayer screen.

[QUOTE=markg06;36122189]Multiplayer on the 360 is frustrating, it feels like barely anyone is playing and the soft lock is the most populated rather than attempting to show an ounce of skill.[/QUOTE] There's more than just killing for being skilled at the game

Love to make this funny dialog in MP2 more funnier. -How fucked up is that? -That's pretty fucked up. *me throwing grenade in their cell* -You can say that again. *BOOM* [IMG]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541802447538575398/E371C9FFDB0DC6F2B33D87DC3E3806BF661C97CE/[/IMG]

They're going to release pre-load on steam on the 3rd of June. Oh wait!

PC screens. [img_thumb]http://www.gamereactor.se/media/22/tarkennustapaynenvaatimuksiin_432231b.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://www.gamereactor.se/media/22/tarkennustapaynenvaatimuksiin_432241b.jpg[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=OwnedByTheDog;36106923]I'm not even going to bother with New York Minute Hardcore. You have to complete the game from start to finish in one single run on time and without dying, on Hardcore.[/QUOTE] Just found out that NYM Hardcore is actually on Normal difficulty and you have last stand. But you still have to beat it in time and without dying in one session.

[QUOTE=Jackald;36124744]When I play the multiplayer, I just know i'm going to be shouting this throughout the entire match: "IT'S PAYYYNE!" "ICE THE SUCKER!" "YER DEAD PAYNE!!!" etc[/QUOTE] "HERE COMES MAX HURT"

When I'm playing as Vlad, everybody is going to be my dearest friend.

[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;36124837]"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S PAYNE IN THE BUTT!"[/QUOTE] "Eyy, Payne to the max!"

[QUOTE=Jackald;36125186]"Never fear... Vlad is here."[/QUOTE] "Die russian! Fucking die already!"

Vinnie was brilliant in Max Payne 1. Looks so badass with those glasses... ...and then he starts talking.

I should try to see if my Gamestop broke the street date for the PC version.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;36125972]I should try to see if my Gamestop broke the street date for the PC version.[/QUOTE] They probably have release date check on the game so you couldn't play till Friday anyway.

Whoo! Soon I get access to my Max Payne 3 pre-order!
