ITT: games with amazing gameplay ruined by their story

Are you one of those people who need night and rain/snow for neo-noir?

The story itself was ok. The narration is what pretty much killed the flow imo.

>>389056487

literally ruins any and all replay value

>>389056348

Story was ol but them unskippable cutscenes. Shit

having to watch the same helicopter cutscene 100x is anti-fun

>>389056348
Fuck them for interrupting gameplay every 20 seconds. If cutscenes were longer this crap would be MGS4 tier bullshit.

>unskippable 10 minute cutscene after every 5 minutes of gameplay
>perfectly fine

>>389056348
What was wrong with the story? It was a fine story for an action shooty kill 1000 men game.

Except the story was great, the fuck are you talking about.

You're complaining about cliches in a Max Payne game? That's hilarious.

Whatever you say child, its obvious this is your first max payne game.

context matters

>>389059510
So you just prefer one set of cliches over another.

>>389056348
Would anyone else have been ok with them setting 3 in NY again? The NY flashback levels were probably the best in the game. The twist in the story and the reason why Max is in Brazil are contrived and barely thought out. But what really kills it for me is the unskippable cutscenes. I actually wanted to replay the game, but had to stop because the game is so in love with its cutscenes. This is a game with bonus modes where you are literally expected to replay sections over and over to complete challenges or beat a time, but you have to watch cutscenes every attempt. What the fuck, Rockstar.

I personally didn't like NY setting. I loved favela shootout much better as its setting was very exotic to me.

>>389056348
christ, this game was so shit. way to fuck the orginal's formula with slower movement and worse level design.

Shit is actually fun, but it's completely ruined by the dialogue and Wang's shitty puns.

>>389056795
you can mod that out

>>389059747
MP1 didn't take itself seriously. this is fact. you can revel in cliches or you can use them for a dumb story with military conspiracies, viruses, russians with catchphrases and italian sterotypes.

Max Payne needs a spiritual successor. Maybe John Wick game?

Folks do tend to exaggerate on this board, but I can assure you, half of the fucking game is cutscenes. Many of them unskippable.

Also the actual narrative and writing doesn't compare with the original two. Was still fun as shit though - but again, fucking cutscenes.
