I like max payne 3

>>377983005
I love Max Payne 3. I realize I'm in the minority here, but it's my favorite of the series.

I love the gunplay, the music, the settings, the atmosphere, and Max is such a bitter, jaded bastard. I love him.

I still regularly quote him: "This place had more smoke and mirrors than a strip club locker room"

It's a nice game to shoot things up.
But considering how good and atmospheric the first two games were, this one falls short, not to mention the annoying cutscenes.

Yeah, it was fun to play for 5 minutes before being interrupted by a cutscene of Max walking through a door, before letting me play for 5 more minutes and repeating.

I really don't mind an action game having hours of cutscenes, but they should be timed better to not break the gameplay flow so much.

I feel like this game would be a lot less hated if Rockstar just called it a reboot instead of a sequel.

It would still get shat on, but a little less so.

Shadow The Hedgehog, while not great, isn't THAT bad.

I liked DMC2...

>>377984156
I've tried 3 times but never been able to finish the game because of those shitty cutscenes chopping it up. I just can't sit here and watch sad failure idiot man constantly let the princess get taken to another castle because oh no one guy is pointing a gun at me, better not slow motion dodge his bullets and shoot him 8 times before I hit the floor or anything.

The campaign was great but overhyped, and /v/ is full of brainless zombies who equate hype with quality and attack the game instead of the userbase.

Doesn't work like that. If you can fire around a corner you can be fired upon. The devs made sure of that.

>stuck in an execution animation while another player sneaks up on you
That's the point. The execution is a risk that rewards you with extra parts and supplies.

Gears is nothing like this game.

Gears is fast paced ass and balls to the fucking wall bounce shotgun fests of gore and glory.

This is slow. Every shot counts. You get two or so mags at most. Deciding to execute or engage or run away means life or death. Choosing when to hunker down in your pack for a second so you can slap together some armor or bombs could get you killed or win the game.

CoD is basically Quake. You got that twitchy aiming and those super quick TTK's and there are teams some times. The differences don't matter. CoD is Quake.

People are really blowing shit out of porportion on this one. But that's what you get when you make the sequel "TO TEH BEST RPG STORY EVAHH" and your main target audience is a bunch of snobby cRPG fags.

>>377989649
Fuck you, buddy.
2 is the best in the series.

>>377985646
Noone can refute this.

>>377983496
I love it, too. Played through 3 times, last time on hardcore

>>377983005
It was literally Cutscenes: The Game. I liked it on my first playthrough but the fact that the cutscenes are practically unskippable until they're almost done kills almost all replay value. Excellent shooting mechanics ruined by the fact that Rockstar likes to make their shit cinematic.

You can't play for 5 minutes without a cutscene, how the fuck is this even a game. This is Telltale TWD tier

You sure you aren't talking about MP1 there?

>>377985646
It doesn't retcon Max Payne 2 unless you're talking about Sax's fate. In which case that's the only thing.

Only valid complaint is no arena mode and unskippable cutscenes

>>377996320
I don't think you've actually played Max Payne 3. And if you have, you didn't play it like a Max Payne game.

I don't even think you're a fan.

All Max Payne were bad anyway.

Lmao, what the fuck does that even mean? You want him to fucking roleplay or something?

>>378001884
He's going on about gow all the time. Which implies he used the cover mechanic and nothing else.

Max Payne is a fun, stylish shooter with great feel. That's all squandered on the cover system.

It's like playing MGS5 with the chicken hat on all the time and saying that it's shit. Or playing final fantasy on Steam with the cheat thingy they introduced and then complaining it had no challenge.

>WHY DID YOU USE MECHANIC?!?!?

>>378002098
The cover system was really important in MP3 though. That isn't to say you couldn't have cool bullet time moments and jump around, but on harder difficulties one bullet to the head could instantly take all your health so the use of cover was actually extremely important.

>>377983496
This guy gets it. Absolutely top notch game. Atmosphere kills me every time.
Every year when summer comes I'll buy a bottle of cheap bourbon and play it in my underwear. Top immersion.

>>378002319
It's 2017 mate, be original if you're gonna troll.

>>378002369
I admire your patience for sitting through all those fucking cutscenes over and over again. I sometimes remember the game with a bit of nostalgia and fire it up but I'm soon reminded how incredibly annoying it is with the constant cutscenes. I thought the arcade mode would be cutscene-free at least, but nope.

>>378002439
Not that guy, but how the fuck is he trolling? Are you implying MP3 didn't have a cover mechanic? Or that the developers put it in for shits and giggles and it wasn't supposed to be used? Fuck off.

>>378002439
>troll

Adorable, he's using le 4chan lingo.

>>378002349
I know it's not the best reasoning, but I never needed to use hard cover.
There's a crouch. And you can shoot Dodge from crouch too.
In MP3 if you utilise shootdodge and bullet time right, you have so much more fun than smashing Q the moment you see an enemy

>>378002520
You're drawing a lot of assumptions from my statement.
I'd clarify for you, but I want you to take a deep breath first, calm the fuck down and see if you can see why I might've thought he was being a little shit first.

>>377983005
I have literally never heard anything bad about Max Payne 3, I do mean literally in a literal sense

they had all the time to port max payne 3's gunplay to V

I hope we get to see GTA with max payne's gun mechanics in the next game

>>378002526
Here's your (you)

Max Payne 3 is unironically the best TPP shooter on PC. Replayed that shit 2 times and having an urge to do it again.

>>378002680
Lol, arguing for the sake of arguing, nice.

>>378002586
I didn't use cover constantly either but I'm glad it was in there. Cover mechanics aren't necessarily bad if the game isn't completely centered around them (think GOW or TLOU).

The ability to go prone in MP3 was a huge help in some firefights as an alternative to using the Q key, I fucking loved those 360 animations from prone.

I really don't understand how people can buy this game without knowing half of the game are cutscenes, it is and was clearly explained everywhere and people was already talking about it
And in my opinion, the changes of atmosphere was assumed : in the flashback part, it was as dark as MP 1 and 2, like it was the same time. But you still feel his despair and drunkness all along the game

>>378002748
We're done here.

>>378002754
I didn't like the last of us. It's incredibly slow and boring.
I used the q cover sometimes, I'm not Korean.
I used it mainly to make the game look cool and more stylish sometimes.

And yeah, it's genuinely fucking brilliant. It had amazing AI as well. Cover was useless if used for more than 15 seconds.

>>377984156
Didn't bother me at all, whatsoever. One game that did bother me greatly with interuptions was crysis 2.

>>377991798
The Mp3 multiplayer was amazing at first. But as players quickly left, it was no longer fun to play with the shitters that just do what wins the game over and over.
Just gets boring.

TLOU multilayer was great at first but got boring quick. Don't know why you posted that though. Guess they're similar, but not quite.

I really liked it. It's actually really fun to watch Max hate himself.

The only things I didn't like were the loading screens and the lack of great side characters. Also, didn't appreciate how they basically sweeped MP2 and Mona under the rug. Maybe they shouldn't have used such a big time jump.

I do like the game, but MP3 is really best summed up by that Simpsons gif of the rollercoaster that stops abruptly every five feet. It's fun as fuck when the action gets going, but it really manages to be a pain in your ass anyway. Story is both convoluted and bland, Max's new vulgar manner is far removed from the cheesy poetic lines that defined him, and those fucking cutscenes. Not to mention the devs have a habit of dropping you into the middle of a room when one ends, clinting to the back of a folding chair for cover.
When they do give you freedom to approach a gunfight it can be totally incredible

>>378004238
I agree on this one, it was overly hated for no reason, but it could have been better too.

My major gripes were
>no ambient noise mechanic, enemies hear you the same even with loud machinery around
>no light meter, only binary hidden or not hidden states
>new voice actor sucks
>game was sometimes very random in deciding if you left the enemies "undisturbed" or "evaded" them

7/10 for me

>>377983005
Public opinion turned on this masterpiece ages ago OP, people appreciate it now that everyone's played it via dirt cheap Steam sales.

>>378005015
I fucking HATED how cutscene Max always uses a pistol and when the cutscene ends you're stuck with it and have to quickly fumble around to get out another weapon as you're already taking fire

>>378004238
Decent for Ubishit at best.
I got shat on so hard for saying Ground Zeroes felt more like Blacklist than Metal Gear.

>>378005182
To be fair, any other game would have him use some default gun for cutscenes as opposed to what you actually have equipped.
I thought it was really neato how Max held a long gun you weren't using in his off-hand in gameplay and cutscenes.

>>378002742
>on PC
I don't think Gears of War or Uncharted can compare really, though I don't mind Uncharted.

>>378002349
I don't think the cover system is a bad thing when it was best used as a temporary measure between dodging bullets in slowmotion in a variety of ways.
The enemies were also pretty good at flushing you out too, especially once you get past the gang members and fight trained forces.

>>378005298
That immersion is neat on your first playthrough but it's actually the reason the cutscenes can't be skipped, which sucks on subsequent playthroughs. The game renders the cutscenes in real time so very little resources are spent on actually loading the level, which is why it takes forever to finally get the "skip cutscene" option.

They should have done away with this at least for the arcade game modes. I din't think anyone would mind the discrepancy between the gameplay and cutscenes in New York Minute or Score Attack modes.

>>378005049
I feel like more people would accept the new voice actor if he actually had a good script. Where's his personality? Why is he simply a boring professional military dude now?

>>378005693
Personally I never had much of an issue with the unskippable cutscenes throughout 7 or 8 playthroughs, they're often less than half a minute long unless it's the start of a level and they're action stuff, not twenty minute long expository dialogue scenes like MGS4.

>>378005894
Not gonna lie, the shooting mechanics were so good I actually did 4-5 playthroughs myself, but I got progressively more annoyed by the cutscenes each time.

The thing that bothers me the most about them is that they often take control away from you for mundane shit you could do yourself. Opening a door? Here's a cutscene. Riding an elevator? Here's a cutscene. Sneaking around? Here's a cutscene.
