Max Payne 3 - Discussion Thread

Take cover, press shift to enter bullet time, pop out of cover and headshot as many guys as you can. Usually works. Becomes tough when enemies start to flank you.
 
Another method that works is never take cover unless you need to reload. Keep moving, keep your crosshair at head level, toggle Bullet Time and take perfect headshots as the crosshair moves over the enemies' heads, without actually moving the mouse.

This worked great for me as well. Better than rushing out and then activating bullet time to take down the baddies. Get behind cover > switch to bullet time > lean from cover > pop some headshots! I used to switch off bullet time while reloading a gun and activate it when done reloading.

A:-Yes.Why not when bruce willis rocks!

2.Hows the story.
A:- Action.

3.Hows the game's visuals.
A:-Brilliant but could have been better.

4.People comparing it to the UC series.
A:-For effects UC wins hands down.

I kept on staring at the mud.But it disappointed.I still remember the UC2 railyard mission where when drake walks over the mud we see some fantastic footprints he leaves.
Moreover this game is more of Action tps NOT ACTION ADVENTURE.Therefore comparison is irrelevant.You only shoot and do nothing else.

5.How long is the gameplay?
A.On hard mode max is 12hrs i guess.But i think i completed it in around 10.Moreover the keyboard controls may sometime act ridiculous but nothing frustrating. Camera angles are alright.Enemy AI is impressive too.

6.Is the hard mode really hard?
A.Nope as far as i am concerned nope not that much I have seen games with better hard modes.Here max you may require four to five tries thats it.

7.How is the overall game.Does it have the old Max payne feel.
A.Good quite good.It has some good slow mo effects and i think one or two QTEs.For the latter no it dosent.It is purely an action game with a simple good old story.

8.How is the sound track?
A.I loved the old max payne piano notes.Unfortunately here it is not present.But yes in the game when max encounters some pianos you can make him play that old tune from it.:D

9.Is there any game in pc similar to this one.
A:- There is one but it is not completely equivalent to this one.But very near it. Splinter cell conviction.:lol:

10.Hey wait why bruce willis?I dont see him in the game.
A.Then you first need to watch the die hard series.
Rockstar guys are really movie buffs we know but then again please dont do like frequently.:lol:

You've got to be kidding me! This game had one of the best visuals for a PC game launched recently and brought down most high-end setups to its knees. And being optimised for low-end systems at the same time as well.

Care to tell us your system specs and on what settings did you run the game? I think only a select few in the forum (with the most recent GPU/CPU setups) could afford maxing out the visuals in Dx11 mode with EVERY option in the graphics subsystem set to all high in 1080p/1200p and above resolutions. And churning out 60 frames constant with v-sync ON.
 
The game has low end textures especially in early areas when he is inside some building or so, the visuals after Level 9 are phenomenal

May be for the consoles. Not for the PC version. Please do yourself a favor and play/watch/demo the game on a DECENT spec'd system.
 
Playing it now. At the End of Chapter 3. Astonished that my i5 2430M and Gt525M are handling it well at 1366x768 with all on High!
Avg around 30FPS(Playable) and the GAME is Awesome..
Much better this way -> Movie in a Game. Loving the story line ,Picking up right after MP2.
