MP thread anyway
Max Payne 3 a shit
>tfw there will never be a new Max Payne game which builds on the fast paced run and gun gameplay of the first game while having the graphics/attention to detail of Max Payne 3
Still the GOAT theme music.

Thats is one thing I missed in 3, you couldnt really book it like you could in 1 or 2.
>>344010542
Yeah, they really made Max control like a washed up old drunk that has to rely on headshots only. It fits the story but isn't as fun.
Best Max Payne quote?
MP3's Max was a little obnoxious on his level of self-loathing but I liked

I was not one of them. I was no hero. Just me and the gun, and the crook. My options had decreased to a singular course."
Also MP3 sucks fucking ass.

It wasn't all bad. Animations and character models were awesome and the writing was different but still good.

Boring levels, low difficulty and stupid plot killed MP2 for me.

story was shit, in 1 Max had no purpose, he was driven by revenge and hatred, he just killed everybody who stood on his way and got deeper and deeper into shit, in MP3 it's just "le catch the bad guy who kidnapped women"
>>344011498
At least Max Payne 2 had levels, instead of 3's shitty tiny arenas

I enjoyed 3 because they did change up it
They took a chance and moved him out of NY
Also changed the styling from noir into a Tony Scott film

I wonder if there is a real life Max Payne in Rio right now, clearing scum for the Olympics

Old games to this a lot in soundtracks and it's so good, especially in Thief
Why don't modern games do this ?
>>344011648
>I enjoyed a Max Payne game because they made it not like a Max Payne game
What was great about 1&2 was how fully they embraced the genre, there has never been a series that captured a film aesthetic so well
3 is not canon
>>344011505
>Max had no purpose, he was driven by revenge and hatred
I'm assuming you fudged your formatting and meant to say he had no purpose in 3 whereas in 1 he was driven by revenge.
But that was half the point to his character in 3. He didn't really have much to live for, so he just carried on trying to carry on and if he died, then that was that. I liked him best in 2 though.
Also, MP1 jumped the shark as soon as you entered the security complex in the final act.
>>344011648
I liked the grimdark NY setting more but I don't mind the setting change that much. It's the worse gameplay and structure that really made the game hard to enjoy. Also the insane amount of cutscenes interrupting everything.
>>344012049
>3 is not canon
The only bad thing about MP3 is how they handled the cutscenes
>>344012283
That's not some minor problem though, that's a huge issue with the game. It's not the only one either. The gun limit removes depth from the gunplay, the emphasis on precise aiming over quick movement makes guns feels homogenized, the controls are very clumsy compared to 1 & 2 and the "levels" have no flow to them.

Sorry anon, it's a no slow mo/no damage run so fun is strictly forbidden
>>344012510
>the emphasis on precise aiming over quick movement makes guns feels homogenized
Fucking A. The best parts were the cosier levels like the police station or the apartment since it didn't revolve as much around finding where the enemies were crouched and then laying your cursor where they'd pop up.
>>344012759
He is literally trying to play the game in the most boring, least Max Payne like way possible. It just looks like a generic 3rd person shooter the way he is doing it and not the godlike John Woo simulator that brought bullet time to gaming that it was
>>344012826
there is slight slowing down with the dodges
>>344012826
I wish every generic TPS had as much bullet dodging and movement as Max Payne 1 does, I'd play nothing else.
>>344013081
I remember Max Payne was announced around the time The Matrix came out, it was such a fuckin g time to be alive, the way you could leap about and use slow mo was mindblowing then, it was pretty much the ideal game every kid wanted and it actually existed
So many games in that model have been made since, but none as stylish
>>344012119
>worse gameplay
The gameplay is literally refined Max Payne 1 gameplay with slower movement speed, which is better than the superpowers MP 2 gave us. People can shit on everything else, but not the gameplay
>>344009819
>post yfw MP3 is your favorite
Nostalgiafags can suck my dick, MP3 has the best gore and gunplay, and story is less shitty than you shitter make it out to be.
OST is fantastic and the muh Mona garbage is gone.
>>344013294
>The gameplay is literally refined Max Payne 1 gameplay
>cover shooter mechanics
yeah nah
>>344013239
I think MP 2 and 3 surpass Max Payne 1 in terms of stylishness in slow-mo. So does FEAR and Stranglehold. 1's slow-mo is very basic and while it was cool as fuck at the time nowadays it just feels more like something that destroys the pace and should be used only when necessary rather than a fun mechanic.
>>344013454
its really not a big difference from 1. You weren't running around in the open constantly shooting shit in the orignal max payne. Most of it was hiding behind cover, surveying the room then leaping out in slow-mo to execute your plan.
Cover mechanics make sense in max payne
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA8vd6lT_zQ
IT'S PAYNE! GET 'EM!
>>344013458
Yeah, I was including Max Payne 2 in that.
3 is a whole different thing.
>>344013454
the cover literally gets you killed on higher difficulties. If you hide behind them you die within a couple of seconds. If you wanna survive you gotta do dangerous shit just like the previous ones. The cover is only a crutch on the noob friendly difficulties.
>>344013294
No it isn't. The only thing in common it has with Max Payne 1 is the fact that the slow-mo isn't ridiculously overpowered. Max Payne 1 has a shit ton of movement. You zig zag all over the place to avoid enemy fire, you dodge roll for invincibility frames when things get sticky, you jump around all over the place shooting everything in your way. It wasn't just turn on slow mo -> get headshots that Max Payne 3 devolves into. Evasive moves are practically useless there.
>>344013580
mp1&2 were never pop and shot gameplay
>>344013689
That's bullshit. I played through off of MP3 on PS3 with free aim and on old school difficulty. If you weren't using cover you'd get fuked.
>>344013809
*I played through all of
>people really didn't like max payne 3

the last stand thing kinda fucked it up a little bit but overall excellent game

Last line in Mass Effect 2
>>344013580
That only applies to some people's first playthroughs. Once you know what you're doing, running around is incredibly fun and satisfying, especially in 1.
>>344011003
>Time moves forward, nothing changes
that one really stuck with me
>>344013878
good game, but far inferior than previous max payne games
>>344011003
>The genius of the hole: no matter how long you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant.
>>344013878
Seems to be a very 50/50 game
I am in the minority where 3s my favorite but its close between all 3
>people on /v/ suddenly hate MP3
For a long time and several threads MP3 was acknowledged to have several flaws but never hated to such a degree, I really don't wanna say "summer" but it just seems like it.
MP3 has the best gunplay of any Rockstar game, RDR being a very close second. Any Rockstar game with shooting should just copy MP3's shooting exactly, it's so fucking good.
>>344013878
Would've been better just without the baggage of the Max Payne brand so it could stand on its own.
>>344014313
The shooting is good, shame they didn't make any fucking levels for you to enjoy it in.
>>344014313
remember that comfy new years Max Payne thread? That one was too good to be true
[loading - can not be skipped]
>>344013878
I would have liked the game if it let me play itself more. Still not bad though, just really disappointing.
>>344014442
it had a good deal of cut scenes but i don't feel as if it was one of the "you dont get to play enough" type games
>>344013878
It's a good game, not a good Max Payne game.
>>344014313
I dont hate it at all. I liked it a lot actually, even despite the unskippable cutscenes (if they didnt have those and the other cinematic shit breaking pure gameplay, it would have been a 10/10).
its just not as good as the first two.
>>344014313
>best gunplay of any Rockstar game
That isn't much of an achievement
>>344014313
>/v/ is one person
There's no hate for it. They just won't acknowledge it as a Max Payne game.
It's a MP game as much as the DOOM movie is based on DOOM.
>>344013809
The difficulties are kinda bullshit, Old School is easier than Hardcore which I did most of my playing on. On Hardcore you die in one or two shots and enemies hit you way easier behind cover. It's kinda bullshit that the game is just good on one difficulty but it's still something. Unless I remember it all wrong
>>344014529
I had that feeling a lot. Just when I got into the groove of combat, the game would start up a cutscene. After a point I almost wanted to kill myself in-game just to enjoy the shooting bits for longer.
>>344014796
>Old School is easier than Hardcore
old school was the last unlockable difficulty. pretty sure its supposed to be the hardest
>>344010467

>>344014665
It was one of the first Rockstar games to have actually good reaponsive shooting mechanics aside from Red Dead Redemption, it was so good it was possible to have even mouse aim precision with a controller with aim assist off. Everything was tuned just right, but then games like GTAV they just messed it up. No crouch or prone, weird aim sensitivity settings, no dive, etc.
why was mp2 called 'the fall of max payne'?
>>344015958
Did you not play the game?
>>344016026
i did. the fall implies he dies or something, not just having a level where he drops a little and it's not a big deal
>>344015958
He tripped and fell down once and the Gonuccis made fun of him, so he went and killed every last one.
>>344009819
>>344016168
The plot of the game is LITERALLY him falling, figuratively to a woman and literally that time he actually falls.
>>344016369
falling in love is not the same as 'the fall'
>>344014902
no, it's easier than hardcore. You also get more bullet time. It just lacks the last stand thing
>>344016791
Guess I have a reason for playing it again, sounds good to me.

I bet you played the game as cover shooter. It could have been a tiny bit faster, yeah, but from technical standpoint it's way better. The cutscene bullshit is true however.
