Max Payne 3 - Discussion Thread

Lucky people using xbox!
<
 
Just finished the first chapter and I'm stopping right here. The game looks very gritty and raw. Although the controls feel a bit disjointed with a controller. I suppose it would handle very well with keyboard and mouse combo. No health-regen, so it's straight up pain killers to heal. The final enemy kill cam is really cool. Visuals look awesome and slight frame rate drops in cut-scenes other action sequences. Physics are f*ckin' brilliant, in the traditional Rockstar fashion. Weapon swap is dead easy with a circular menu allowing you to choose your weapon, including dual-wielding ones. And I don't have to explain the voice acting part, this is one part where Rockstar can never go wrong. One complaint I had was the subtitles not translating the non-English spoken parts in the game. The first chapter is set in Sao Paulo and the people speaking Portuguese has the same text showing up. If this happens more in the game, then I guess some amount of conversation would be lost. Apart from that, I think it's a killer title. I'm dying to start it right now, but have to keep it together.

First Hand Impression of Max Payne 3

The game has everything which you expect from a video game.

1. Story Narration is terrific.

2. Game revolves around past and present of Max.

3. GunPlay with M9 is fantastic , pistols are ok.

4. You can always go back to chapters and play them again just like AC sequences.

5. Cutscenes are bit weird always a ghosting image while they are playing , but hatsoff for trying something new.

6. Haven't witnessed any comic book style cutscene yet but its said to be in later half of the game.

7. I find the movement to be a bit awkward , John Marston & Niko were much better animated characters when moving.

8. The game puts directly into action unlike GTA 4 and RDR where you roam around before shooting happens

9. The attention to detail is phenomenal , haven't seen any game do that before.Though there are some areas especially in club level where textures are flat out rest is all very good.

10. There is always a sense of urgency while shooting you can't just go all out bang bang , slow mo is the key here.

11. The game is bit difficult especially there is no health regeneration and you have to rely on health packs.

12. Enemy AI takes 4-5 hits to bring me down.

13. O God that Helicopter level and that sniper shots (most powerful weapon)
