Max Payne 3 baby, all the way. I might just flood the thread with hundreds of the thousand screenshots I took during the many hours of gameplay. The game is totally genius. Pure action, gunplay mechanics are polished to the max (unintentional pun, intended) - the shootouts are so realistic and good, gat-damn! The story is cool aswell, told in awesome looking cinematic videosequences. I love it!

You've been pimping this game in the last few forums. I never played the other two so I didn't think much about it. My buddy called me earlier and told me to come down for smoke time. As he lit it up he started up Max Payne 3 on his PC. It definitely looked awesome. I watched him play for an hour or two, then I tried to jump in and dispense justice.
It was at that part where you walk into that slum courtyard and one of the guys locks the door behind you. Max says something about "the king being in his castle." I took a molotov cocktail to the face and burned to death in spectacular fashion. Handed it back to him and watched him waltz through with no difficulty.
Going to pick it up for the PS3, I think it would keep me entertained.
Lol I know what you talk about. On my first walkthrough I struggled with that checkpoint myself. It's a pretty difficult situation as you're backed down in a corner, getting shot at by 5 people or so and it's raining molotov cocktails on you. A shootdodge straight forward out of the cover and into the hail of bullets is the best choice really.
You can't go wrong with picking up that game. You buy the ticket and you're in for a ride. It's pure action and delivers like no other game out there in terms of gunplay, except maybe Red Dead Redemption. The gameplay is like "heaven" if you dig gunplay with detailed mechanics, choreographic movements and balistic shootouts a la John Woo. Every bullet you fire leaving a shell to fly through the air, just...wow. And all that in Bullet Time (slow motion) is just....woooooow.
The videosequences which tell the story and play at the beginning/ending and during the chapters are beyond awesome. R* is known for its love for details in the cutscenes. Just look at GTA, the video sequences that tell the story just pour off details and authenticity. But this time around they just went completely NUTS. The motion capturing looks pretty real and overall they delivered something that many movie makers wished they could have transfered from script to the screen in that fashion. Before the release they said "Cinematic experience" a lot, and it sure was/is. The editing, especially in the Intro you'll see it, it's amazing.

Max Payne 3. It's a damn good. Srsly Arius, the optimization for the PC release is incredible. It looks beautiful and performs very well at the same time. It's totally worth looking into, at least. Some fine entertainment there. It's a game AND a movie.

Ari, you could also try SPEC OPS THE LINE. Heard only good things about it. Got it here now, gonna install and check it out later.

oh hells yeah....Max Payne 3 Mulitplayer.....ranked up to lvl 20 today, took me a week or so. NOW things get interesting, whole new range of weapons and burst available for me to buy. and I saved all my cash in hindsight. Shot all my way to rank 20 with the common guns and without any fancy bursts or body armor. it was troublesome and challenging, but now it's payback time. dual wielding the 608 bull revolver or firing away with the 9mm automatic...oh there will be blood ... red hankerchiefs all over the place :awesome:

Lol...I just tried to picture you putting your collages and siccors aside, taking a controller into your hands, and then playing sheppard, making stupid decisions all the time, starting with you to chose the preset sheppard as your character/avatar
YOU and gaming = how?! ;D

I'l gladly give you a few suggestions. things that I think could help you get through without so many bullets piercing your body, forcing you to collapse to the floor, emptying the last clip in last-man-standing mode *edit* been typing for 10 minutes now or so, a few MORE suggestions and in more detail than I had "planned" at first, but worth a read for sure. *edit over*
Whenever you got critically hit, and your healthbar is almost down to 0, you "collapse" and bullet time kicks in automatically- you're in last-man-standing mode. now your crosshair aims in the direction of the guy who shot you, a little (up to a lot, I guess. depending on aiming settings maybe and difficulty. I don't know, I have played in free aim mode from the beginning, on difficulty HARD.) well, the crosshair turns red when you hover over the shooter I think, you can shoother aswell if you can struggle against the force that draws your crosshair towrds the guy that shot you down and possibly kills you if you don't cap him, but be warned, you cannot reload, so if you only have 1 bullet left and you collapse, you have one shot to make it worthwile, BUT, also, you can shoot the guy anywhere really, foot, hand, he will die and you will survive, taking a painkiller after getting up. ALso, also, IMPORTANT: when you collapse to the floor and last man standing is activated , and you cannot aim at the shooter because there's a joist/beam in the way - you can switch the camera angle (which is rly helpful at times) from behind one should to the other. I don't know button that would be, but you ought to use it a lot really. it can mean life or death. another thing, I don't know if that's a Pc issue or if consoles have it too, but the laser pointers on weapons are not accurate, you can toggle off the attachment though, again, I don't know what button though. I personally thought amining with a sniper gun or some rifle was waaaaay more comfortbale without a laser attached to it. just sayin, maybe on the consoles it's no issue at all.
The game is challenging and the A.I. is very sneaky, so you have to react fast. And I guess playing a third person shooter with a controller is more difficult than with keyboard and mouse. I recall Red Dead Redemption being a little painful to play now and then because I am rly not that good at aiming with my thumb only, hovering over some shaky stick or whatever (: ...anyway...try to find the best sensitivity for ya.
Cover system: Max Payne 3 comes with a cover system? NOT MAX PAYNE ANYMORE; FU R* - that was the first reply of the fanbase, but as it turns out it fits into the gameplay perfectly, and also it's 2012 and having a third person shooter without a cover system just doesn't make sense.
You ought to use it, but not stay in cover for too long really. do your reloading and check out where your enemies are located. shoot a guy from cover with aim, then use BLIND FIRE on another one maybe ,(just spraying out of cover without aiming, not getting up with your body to aim more precisely) best used at close range. can be helpful really, but it likely costs you a couple of bullets.
Headshots: You can shoot a guy with a vest like 10 times to the stomache before he starts taking some serious damage, yous hoot his helmet and then his head though, 2 hits only, and he drops dead to the floor, and you have 8 bullets left to do the same to his 4 friends. Sometimes you can take your time with the enemies, firing one extra clip of lead towards their way, but mostly you ought to aim straight for the head or the upper torso at least. Another key to beating some of those waves of enemies that stand in your way
and now comes THE key to taming this beast, and actually riding it like a boss. SHOOTDODGE and BULLET TIME. the key aspects that had the franchise gain the fame and made the series what it is today. You ought to use it like crazy if you ask me.It gives you the drop on your enemies, you can dive to the side and avoid a shot the head and stuff like that. the jump (shootdodge) always works and slows time a little I think, but once you kill guys or get hit, your bullet time hour glass gets filled and you can just switch the button and turn your predicament into a heroic bloodshed, leaving one big mess behind.
Use bullet time, jump twords things you could cover behind, corners, dive backwards, while diving/shootdodging try spinning around and do a 360, you are Max fucking Payne, you can do it. When you hit the floor after those jumps, you can either get up, which takes some time since max got older and a bit heavier and just REALER all over, OR you can just lie on the floor and roll from left to right. prone, on your back, on the sides, you can still aim everywhere, and you can do that at any point really, except in last-man-standing mode where the crosshairs hovers automatically towards your shooter. You need to make use of that liberty in movement and aiming, if you can.
well, that was it, for now I guess. I couldn't have explained those things in short I think. Sorry bruh :face:

Ranked up some more. Lvl 26. Now I'm actually able to dual wield the 608 bull revolver - and it's a BEAST. really devastating at close range. shit can get really hectic sometimes and in times like these they come in handy. the multiplayer is pure adrenaline. I have played some multiplayers in my life, and the only games coming close to this kind of rush is quake, unreal tournament and maybe cs:source
how do you like my skeleton rubber gloves?! :awesome:

Get some CS:Source with it while you're at it. Merc is too big a schmock to face me in gunbattle :merc: You gotta make it happen, you gotta rep canada!
