>TRUST US NOW >IT'S TIME TO LET ME GO best max payne

I can't believe how fucking old this game is. It feels like it was just yesterday I preloaded this thing and woke up at 6 am just so I could play it for two hours before going to school. What the fuck am I doing with my life.

>>386796220

My fucking nigger. I can't understand people saying it had the best story. It was fucking trash, Mona was trash ( cold cunt is a good analogy ) and fuuuuuuck

is there a way to play this shit without Cockstar Social Club?

What if Remedy made games that played as good as the looked?

>>386796631

Remedy didn't make MP3, and the first two games actually have excellent gameplay, senpai. They didn't fall off the wagon until Alan Wake.

>>386796010
you're getting old anon.

i fucking love HEALTH

Are there any other shooters with the same feeling of weight as mp3?

There have been like a million sluggish cover-based TPS games in the last ten years. Take your pick, you can't go wrong.

>>386797481
No game has as hard hitting shooting as max Payne though at least in the TPS category. Most of them feel floaty as hell. I wouldn't even consider mp3 to be "sluggish" unless you choose to play with cover.

>>386797481
If you think mp3 is a cover shooter you played it wrong

I've seen this "i-it's not a cover shooter!" meme posted countless times but I've never seen a shred of evidence. It's okay if you like the game, it's not entirely terrible and definitely among the better of cover-based shooters, but don't lie to justify your stance.

>>386798036
I don't see how the ability to slow down time stops this game from being a cover-based shooter. Take that away and what do you have?

>>386798117
What? What's the fucking point of playing max Payne if you aren't using bullet time to your advantage. Stop moving goalposts

>>386798117
>yeah now try it without the series main selling point and most enjoyable feature

>>386798117
>>386798295
Dunno if this is pure unadulterated autism or shitposting but using cover is only one element of a wide array of elements you can use in any shootout. To say it's a cover based shooter strictly just because it has using cover as one of it's many features is downright dumbassery

>>386798309
>>386798338
see >>386798295

>>386798445
What the fuck are you playing max Payne for if not for using bullet time

>>386798438
You'll have to forgive me if I'm a little confused about what /v/ says constitutes a "cover-based shooter" when most of them have a "wide array of elements you can use in any shootout" but for some reason only this specific game doesn't get to be referred to as a cover-based shooter.

>>386796010
I remember it like it was yesterday too. It came out like 2 weeks before I spent the rest of that summer in Peru on a dig. Listened to the soundtrack, particularly the OP song, constantly on that trip. Fucking love this game, my favorite in the series.

>>386798573
That doesn't answer my question. Why does having slow-mo make it not a cover-based shooter?

>>386798667
Because you can use bullet time to your advantage by dodging bullets and having faster reactions than your enemies

>>386795867
I like the song, but didn't like the fight. This wasn't really a good arena or encounter.

>>386798748
Yes, we all know how bullet time works. How does that make it not a cover-based shooter?

>>386798667
define cover-based shooter

>>386798438
How the fuck does that affect anything? Gears of War, Uncharted, DXHR, you people call all of these cover-based shooters but you can minimalize your use of cover if you're good enough. But we start talking about MP3 and it's all oh wait no this is different for no particular reason at all.

>>386799014
A shooter designed for players to use cover.
>but max payne 3 isn't desi-
Yes it is, that's why there's so many cover options and they have dedicated movement for it. You can play it without using a lot of cover (like many cover-based TPS) but that's clearly how it was designed.

>>386798895
Because it makes cover entirely optional if you're good enough. If you're not then you have to play a cover based shooter type game in order to make up for how much you suck.

Its easy to tell how good you are based on you calling it a cover based shooter.

MP3 was a great game.

anything that has shooting and the concept of cover is a cover-based shooter in /v/'s autism.

>pic related: the first cover based shooter

>>386795867
have you ever heard a completely deaf person try to talk? Thats how this songs singing sounds like, and for whatever reason /v/ creams itself over it

>>386795867
Good thing those travelers packed their Kevlar-lined luggage with lead bricks.

>>386799163
>Because it makes cover entirely optional if you're good enough.
Many cover-based TPS games work like this. Why is MP3 different?

>>386799306
It's beautiful singing in conjunction with the instrumentals.

>>386799150
I would usually consider "stop'n'pop" to be a "cover-shooter" t b h, since you know you start getting into a slippery slope when any game that has a cover mechanic could be considered a "cover-shooter"

The only thing I didn't like about it was that the movement mechanics could be pretty shit at times. That's kind of to be expected of Rockstar though these days since they seem to employ cripples who think it's totally realistic to have to do a fucking U-turn like a car to turn around.while walking

>>386799186
Just calling it like I see it brah. Feel free to tell me why Max Payne 3 gets a free pass.

>>386799150
Sorry, but you're wrong.
Max Payne 3 is a cutscene based shooter.

>>386799373
Who said those games were different?

>>386799430
Well then clearly this is one of those cases where the definition differs by person, because I've seen what I've described classified as a cover-based shooter plenty of times.

>>386799620
The people who refer to them as cover-based shooters. But apparently there's no real consensus on this so whatever.

>this thread
I'm starting to get the impression that /v/ dislikes the "cover-based shooter" terminology for some reason. Like the term "indie."

i dont know why everyone is trashing 2, it did what 1 did but better

>>386795867
>best max payne
How can one man be so fucking wrong?

>>386799581
And a Man on Fire simulator

>>386799810
More like the term "cover-based shooter" is dated and has lost most meaning since 95% of third person and first person shooters these days feature some kind of cover mechanic.

>>386795867
I liked the second game the best overall. Unpopular opinion I know but the story was still decent and had it's cheesy action flick moments and characters. I honestly think the game play is on par with 3. Maybe not quite as flashy but it was still great. The first game is the best for story and dialog hands down.

I played and beat the third game but I can't help but feel the story was meaningless and doesn't bridge or branch from anything in the first two games. It doesn't seem to close anything in the story either. Max Payne is just kind of there, the story was overall boring. Really fun game mechanically but I couldn't really get into it past that.

>>386799849
Yeah it made shoot-diving borderline pointless, what a great improvement

When are we going to get more games with that John Woo style gunplay. I'm a sucker for that style of gameplay. We need more stylish 3rd person shooters like Max Payne 3 and Stranglehold.

>>386800034
So is "RPG" but you don't see people getting nearly as angry about that and nearly as much.

>>386800034
This, the only reason games didn't have cover mechanics before was technology.

>>386800141
go into any witcher 3 thread and you will

>>386800295
As a Witcher player I am aware that most of the people in my fanbase are faggots but this is something I have yet to see. Which side is getting triggered by the RPG classification, pro or anti?

>>386800105
Shoot diving was pointless in the first game, not the second. You can pre-activate slow motion, peek around a corner with a sniper rifle aimed right on a dudes head and there's a chance he'll snipe headshot you with a fucking uzi before you can even click. That was my biggest issue with the first game, sometimes the AI was way too good. I've slow-mo dived through a door and people who were unaware of me and at a table with their backs turned blew my head off before I could even clear the doorframe to get a visual. The game is complete RNG sometimes. The second game fixed that and the third game maintained it.

What was really good in the first game was rolling. If you even so much as roll once all the enemies will completely forget how to handle a firearm and start missing all their shots on you.

>>386800561
See, I always had the opposite problem. In the first game, you could play almost entirely without bullet time. You could dodge bullets without it. Bullet time helped you with reactions and aiming.
Shootdodging has rarely been worth it in any of the games, it's just cool as fuck

>>386800109
Because most people who claim a "John Woo influence" have never actually seen a John Woo film.

Max Payne is based on the fluent and free play style. Max is a man with nothing to loose and you play the game in that manner. You get better reward by taking risks and running out there into danger. Max Payne 3 you take cover to take a quick breath to determine whats happening and make a quick real time reaction . Max is drugged up and drunk and the game play rewards that reckless style of game play.

God awful in a story and location standpoint. End of MP2 has Max getting over his wife and childs death but 3 hes back to being a fucking sad loaf
