This thread is so starved for content we are talking about how good men look with long hair
Finished Max Payne 1 for the first time yesterday after playing it all in one sitting. Just finished Max Payne 2 for the first time after playing it all day. Preload complete. 6 hours. I am ready.

I don't get why I'm so dumb to buy it in the last minute, when there's been pre-purchase deals for like, 3 months, and I've been knowing since it was announced that it would be a first day purchase... Did the same thing with Skyrim when it was released, bought it like 3 hours before it was unlocked. And holy shit, 29gbs? I'll go to bed.
[QUOTE=Jackald;36148422]It'll be interesting hearing what you think since you played MP1 + MP2 fresh immediately before MP3.[/QUOTE] I will report my experience ASAP.
I hope R*'s claims about if you meet the High Recommended specs, you'll get 60fps constant are true.
Argh, 6 hour download Looks like it'll be done either right before release or right after
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;36147938]I hope to god that this is well optimised.[/QUOTE] It seems to be based on the system requirements.
[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;36148471]I hope R*'s claims about if you meet the High Recommended specs, you'll get 60fps constant are true.[/QUOTE] With their optimization track record and by how demanding the game looks I doubt it, at least at 1080p resolution that is.
can i play now i want to play now
[QUOTE=Jackald;36148814]I dunno, I know it's a different studio, but LA Noire ran pretty nicely. [editline]31st May 2012[/editline] I know that feel bro. I'm a few minutes away from [b] listing the things I want: by Max Payne[/b]... oh shit! The monologuing! It's starting aga[b]in with practiced bravado[/b]. I'd better go to bed now bef[b]ore the cold light of day shattered any trace of self respect from my head[/b][/QUOTE] He said the monologue, playing it bogart like he'd done it a thousand times before. [editline]1st June 2012[/editline] I'm thinking about getting a few hours sleep then waking up at 4-4:30 am for the game. Good idea?
[QUOTE=Jackald;36148814]I dunno, I know it's a different studio, but LA Noire ran pretty nicely. [/QUOTE] What? LA Noire ran like crap for me on an i5 2500k, GTX 580, 8GB Ram
[QUOTE=EvilPengy;36148969]What? LA Noire ran like crap for me on an i5 2500k, GTX 580, 8GB Ram[/QUOTE] Ran perfectly for me AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, ATI Radeon HD 6870, 8GB RAM
[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;36148940] I'm thinking about getting a few hours sleep then waking up at 4-4:30 am for the game. Good idea?[/QUOTE] Well I always stayed up if something came out at 3 or 4 am and I thought that was a good idea, so yea, yours is great!
[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;36149007]Ran perfectly for me AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, ATI Radeon HD 6870, 8GB RAM[/QUOTE] What settings though?
[QUOTE=Jackald;36148814]I dunno, I know it's a different studio, but LA Noire ran pretty nicely[/QUOTE] Wasn't the same engine so you can't judge that.
[QUOTE=EvilPengy;36149038]What settings though?[/QUOTE] Runs flawlessly for me. i7 2600K, GTX 580, 8GB RAM.
I still can't believe that I am about to play this.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;36149145]I still can't believe that I am about to play this.[/QUOTE] I still can't believe I only have 6 gbs downloaded.
[QUOTE=Live2becool;36149220]I still can't believe I only have 6 gbs downloaded.[/QUOTE] At least you're downloading it. I can't get on my computer until like 30 minutes before release. Shit.
[QUOTE=EvilPengy;36148969]What? LA Noire ran like crap for me on an i5 2500k, GTX 580, 8GB Ram[/QUOTE] On i5 2500k and GTX560ti it ran well for me
I have an i5 2500, ATI 6770 and 4GB ram. I'm expecting to play Max Payne 3: Blur and Doughy Flat Textures
Started about 12, it's 6:48 PM central here now, and i've got about 29% down. sheesh boo-boo. And the most I can hope for is the game to be optimized and run well on my end. L.A. Noire doesn't like me much but then that could just be that it's a shoddy port.
[QUOTE=Jackald;36149167]Wasn't it a branch of the RAGE engine in the same way Left 4 Dead is a branch of the source engine?[/QUOTE] No it wasn't. It was on an in-house engine made by Team Bondi.

42% complete now and steam says it will take another 2 and a half hours to complete if its to be trusted. So I'll be all set for the midnight launch- just in time for steam to tell me the game is unavailable, and to try again later. Now 43.6% jeeze, now 44.6% I'm cruising right along.
The game gets rather easy on the second playthrough, even when upping the difficulty and using free aim. I guess you just adapt to all the nuances.

If anyone is looking for a crew to join up with, I made a Mass Effect based one called Clan Urdnot. You can join if you want, just make sure you like Mass Effect :v:. If you join, add me on steam and we can get to know each other before we play together. [url]http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/clan_urdnot[/url]
