Game Experience [Xbox 360] (Max Payne 3)
The toy has been surfing the net all day (And immediately in Russian), so we share our impressions about the game and, judging by the first of them, the new adventures of old Max were 100% successful.get away_[667]
I wouldn't say, "Gambling" (At that time it was a VERY COOL magazine, it's a pity now it's turned into complete shit) gave the maximum rating to the second part of Max. I think other publications would not be stingy.
QTarantello20, you go to
Metacritic
. Max Payne 3". Editor's Choice and 9 out of 10. All in all, it's great, as you'd expect.
Game 6 out of 10, failure. GTA (the plot is also at the GTA level, which is terrible) with bullettime and the atmosphere of Kane & Lynch, there was almost nothing left of the MP. And yes, they made a movie out of the game, there are more unnecessary videos than gameplay.
Minus-minus, stoned rockstarfans, show your brain inactivity.
razorigor, in MP3 Max is already completely broken, so, as I said, do not expect from him the energy of his young years from MP1. That Max died a long time ago (in a psychological sense).
In MP3, we have Max killing (what is there, consider killing) himself, who is in many ways on the verge of insanity, sitting on pills and alcohol and clearly losing touch with reality because of this and because of what he experienced in MP1 and MP2.
Already in the very introduction, Max says something like this:
"Suddenly, I realized that I would not distinguish a good person from a bad one, even if one of them helped the poor, and the other raped my sister."
I don't know about you, but I think this is a very strong quote. Touches.
In general, judging by the introduction, Rockstar is really trying to "work" on the same level as Remedy, in Max's monologues there are still metaphors (maybe not as elegant as before, however, there is no "elegance meter", so everything is subjective), these monologues It's also very interesting to listen to.
In general, the new Max did not impress me. In my opinion, this is another dull YOBA, not much different from other modern shooters. There is no atmosphere of the first parts.
Oppressor Bakers
Why GTA ??Only because of who did?
There are no sandboxes, there are no whores and blackjack, there are no car thefts, there is a sunny city, unlike GTA, it is filled with pain, stench, blood .....
And in the first part of the videos there were few??! there is logic and the ending of the plot about Max
. You bought it for huge money, such a srach spread on the forum!
I personally didn’t believe it would come out at all, I can argue no matter what game they made, many would not like it one x *** !!! Everyone would find minuses in it, old players have gone through more than one game since then, they have become older. but the young ones didn’t play, they have their own look. Well, you don’t like it like that, put a minus, and go past the whining bore ......
Just passed. Great game. I was very pleased that they made the shooter really not so easy and tactful. You won’t be able to take a machine gun, break into a room, jump in bullet-time mode and shoot everyone, no, you will have to think about how to kill them all and stay alive. I also really liked the directing. Great cutscenes, great kills and it turns out a kind of mixture of cinema and games, I have not seen anything like this anywhere else. Graphics and physics are also a strong part of the game. Everything is destructible, bullet holes remain on the bodies and the game looks pretty nice. Everything is just perfect. But there is one minus - the atmosphere. Missions in New York are just fine. Like the previous two parts, only with updated graphics and physics, but Max remained the same. Great third person shooter. I think this will be the best shooter in the last few years.
The oppressor of bakers
The first one went through ...... I don’t even remember, more than 10 times, and Easter eggs, and go through with only one barrel, and ..... it was something !!!
The second one, well, it’s good, it also passed more than once, but it didn’t catch on, it’s just an even attitude . The
third one came out, I’m glad, very much, and I don’t understand your argument and the rest with us! Time will pass, they will see other games, they will understand that not everyone will understand the graphon, and they will understand, they will change their mind 100 times
When I went through the first Max, I was 25. Well, what do you want to convince me of??!!!!!!!
Considering what, and how they throw it on the shelves, it's a great game! Yes, I would like more, but a different atmosphere, they changed a lot, so what? Write to rockstar, tell them
Oppressor of bakers, it's just that you were biased against "Max Payne 3" from the very beginning. This is easy to see just by looking at the archive of your posts on your profile.
Because of this bias, you have an inadequate perception of MP3.
Understand already, "Max Payne 3" was made in close cooperation with Remedy. The Finns were constantly sent fresh builds of the game, they evaluated them and informed the Rocks what was good in the game and what, in their opinion, should be changed.
In addition, Sam Lake himself took part in writing the script (Wikipedia for help, who do not know).
The head of Remedy himself, having passed "MP3", spoke extremely enthusiastically about him in an interview.
And you, because of your initially biased attitude towards MP3 and rockstar, are unable to adequately evaluate the game. Hence your fondness for using the word "shit". Actually, after your last post with you, everything became completely clear.
PS I have Remedy in general the most favorite developers. "Max Payne" is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. The first Payne since its release, I have passed at least 15 times. A week ago, by the way,
I replayed both parts again.
And I've always treated Rockstar with a little bit of contempt.
But I admit, in "Max Payne 3" Rocky jumped above his head. Collaboration with Remedy was beneficial. Rockstar made a worthy continuation of the cult game.
"Max Payne 3" yes, differs from MP1, but, adjusted for 9 (!) past years, to the same extent that MP2 differed from MP1. Those. yes, in terms of atmosphere and mood, the differences are very strong, but they are absolutely logical.
In order not to repeat myself again, just read my local post from "05/13/12 19:09", where I tried to clearly state everything.
I repeat, "Max Payne 3" is a worthy continuation of the cult game. Alas, some initially biased individuals will never admit this because, in fact, they are inherently biased.
PSS I can't help but notice that for a person who has gone through the original Payne many times, playing a game with "Max Payne" in the title on the gamepad is quite painful. Auto-aim is just ridiculous, but without it, it would probably be good not to hit anyone during jumps and other things. The game isn't easy anyway.
I'm really looking forward to the PC version.
The game may be good, but this is no longer the Max Payne that we loved and used to see so much. And there is no need to disperse here that nine years have already passed and that a change of image is necessary and the hero cannot be the same after everything that has happened. It's not about the hero. The point is the atmosphere of the game, which Rockstar first brutally shot with a shotgun shot at point-blank range, and then mocked her corpse, decorating it in the bright colors of Sao Paulo.
Max Payne is, first of all, a noir atmosphere: night scenes or intentionally darkened scenes, rain, gloomy atmosphere, intricate chronology of action, ingenious and slightly crazy monologues of the protagonist... What's going on here? What a @$*% NOIR can be in Brazil, the country of lush and colorful carnivals. Why Brazil, why not Africa or India?
In parts 1 and 2 during the game, the environment was so refined that sometimes you involuntarily stop and listen to the sound of the streets, the sound of rain, you are imbued with the subtly created atmosphere of a cruel and indifferent city, you admire the locations. In a word, you simply enjoy walking around the virtual world. And here, apart from the cardboard environment, which does not evoke any emotions, nothing more. The exception, however, is New Jersey, the level that makes you stumble.
The musical accompaniment in the game in comparison with the dilogy, with the exception of the main theme, to put it mildly, is none. No, for an ordinary shooter, of course, it's very good, and sometimes even dynamic. But not for Max Payne, where in the previous parts the music was an additional tool to create the atmosphere of the game. In MP3, you immediately feel that the soundtrack was written separately.
And of course, it is worth mentioning the dialogues in the game. In a word - at the level of trash films: stupid and predictable.
Conclusion: the 3rd part of the masterpiece and atmospheric game actually turned out to be a stupid shooter, absolutely without any inner world and content, with a boring soundtrack and a bald drunkard as the main character who never managed to get to his carnival.
To AlexWake777:
A worthy continuation can be considered a game that took over the best from its predecessor and added something new that does not violate the universe of the game. A vivid last example is Dead Space 2. And here it’s just ugliness and mockery of the series. Although, this is probably logical, because the developers - Rockstar, can only make GTA and similar games. Unfortunately, they are not capable of more.
Gordon47, did you ever play "Max Payne 3"? Of course, you can lie that you played the type, but your previous post, alas, indicates the opposite.
By the way, you have no idea what noir is, or rather neo-noir, the whole trilogy about Payne belongs to the latter. Carry around with your "noir" and at the same time you don't even understand what it is.
"What the @$*% NOIR can be in Brazil, the country of lush and colorful carnivals." - Your words. You definitely didn’t play MP3, then you wouldn’t write such heresy. And about Brazil you have a very fabulous-childish knowledge.
And, of course, you don’t know, but Brazil is not the only one in MP3. There and night New York is, if that. If you played the game even a little bit, you would know that. Even though you mentioned it as an "exception", which is doubly ridiculous.
You apparently read a lot on various resources about MP3 and suddenly decided that you have an idea about the game as a whole.
"A worthy continuation can be considered a game that took over the best from its predecessor and added something new" - I agree. This game is "Max Payne 3".
PS People, please be kind enough to write an opinion about "Max Payne 3" after playing it.

armored glass (armored glass in Brazil is put on even the most ordinary cars)
Brazil is actually a “shooting†country. The people are very friendly, but in terms of the number of murders per 1,000 people among non-belligerents, it ranks second after Sierra Leone.
The National Confederation of Industry of Brazil released the results of the study "Portrait of Brazilian Society: Public Safety".
According to the data received, about 80% of those surveyed have experienced violence or witnessed crimes in the last 12 months. Among the most mentioned: drug use on the streets - 67%, aggression - 41%, attacks - 28%, gang warfare - 20%, shootout - 18%, knife threat - 18%, in front of someone was injured or killed - 8 %.
Youngster, in Brazil, in addition to your stupid carnivals, there is something else !!!!!!!
Shkololo how did you get it..........
Damn, it's a pity that Max Payne 3 without an open world. And somehow I got used to the fact that rockstar open world projects are mainly done, I hoped that max would also wake up. Well, okay, you have to be content with what you have ... (and there are already quite a few!)
I recently played Max Payne 3 on my uncle's xbox...
The game is great! The plot is one of the best in games, the graphics have evolved a lot compared to GTA IV (which was also on the RAGE engine), the gameplay has remained the same, with the exception of a couple of changes - and this is a plus! Since there is no fashionable now health regeneration. The cover mode appeared, and maybe it changes the gameplay a bit, but I practically didn’t use them throughout the game.
I would like to talk about character animation separately. Animations are made on 11 out of 10! Enemies fall as if they were alive when they die, Max can generally be confused with a real person, if you look at the quality of the animations. For example, if you fly against a wall while shooting in flight, then it will not rest against it and will not continue to fall as if nothing had happened, as it happens in other games, it will hit, then crash to the floor, while the slowdown is turned off automatically . There are a lot of such moments in the game, and it will take a lot to describe everything...
However, the game is unfortunately not without flaws. For example, enemies are very easy to kill (when the first part made you sweat seriously even at the easiest difficulty level), the number of scattered painkillers slightly increased (however, it often happens that you experience a very acute shortage of painkillers), Max has become more tenacious (though this is manifested only when compared with the previous parts: by the standards of modern TPS, Max is fragile), comic-style screensavers were removed (although the in-game videos are gorgeous, but I liked the "comic-screensavers" more), the game became shorter compared to the previous parts (I passed it in 2-3 days, when the first part took me at least a week), and the New York episodes could have been made longer...
But, despite everything, the third Max Payne is one of the best games of our time, and everyone should play it. It is somewhat similar to Gran Turismo 5: also a masterpiece, a game of the highest standard, despite all its shortcomings.
Rating: 9.5 out of 10
I have already managed to play and I will say that the game met my expectations by 100%. I have not seen such dynamic and truly Hollywood shootouts in games for a long time, except in films. jumping, hiding behind cover is so realistic, I liked the rockstar approach to realism, Max walks slowly, runs slowly, everything looks AWESOME. weapons on yourself! It’s on yourself and not somewhere in hidden pockets, if you run with a pistol and take a shotgun, then Max carries everything in his hands, when reloading a pistol, he takes a shotgun under his arm and reloads, everything is so cool! Even if you take a second pistol, then the shotgun will have to be thrown away and not put somewhere in a hidden pocket. The graphics are generally MEGA,there is no need to say here. , out of fear, probably, I want to constantly replay the shootouts, because they can always be played in different ways, because it's interesting. In general, I am completely satisfied with the next masterpiece of ROCKSTAR, especially since I always knew that rockstar never make bad or average games, they always make only MASTERPIECESbecause you can always go through them in different ways, because it's interesting.

God, your stupid eternal whining about the new part of Max Payne is already pretty tired. Hike for schoolboys like you "Noir" (Well, in this case, "Neo-noir") - it's just a gloomy and dark color palette. When you hear the word "Noir" all that comes to your mind is "Dark, gloomy, dirty city, in which it constantly pours rain like a bucket." And the most important thing in "Noir" is the most depressing mood: that is, in projects of this kind there are very few positive characters, a large amount of violence, cruelty and cynicism, and a gloomy and dark picture only enhances the overall mood of the project. And if MP3 has lost the external signs of Noir, this does not mean that its most important quality has disappeared somewhere. So don't roll the barrel on the MP3 - Rockstar has sculpted a masterpiece third-person shooter, in which the gameplay is on top and with the story everything is in perfect order. And I have personally verified this.
Max Payne was an amateur and remains an amateur, but the point is not in the graph, physics, animation, but in the plot, the plot is the juice, and he is in the game 10ku! Ps Mafia 2, Alan Wake, LA Noire for me these are games in which the plot is the main thing!
3Dionis, I did not measure fps, but purely visually everything is very smooth. Didn't notice any particular slips.
In general, the PC should have a normal version of MP3, then what happened with GTA4 should not be repeated. GTA4 was a shitty port, while "Max Payne 3" for PC was made at the same time as the console versions, a separate development team is responsible for the PC version. It was the same with the PC version of "Deus Ex Human Revolution", which ended up being just great in terms of optimization and usability of the interface.
ArcheRXL, "Max Payne 1 and 2" has always been famous for its great gameplay. In "Max Payne 3" this is also all right.
In general, this toy would have become just an ordinary action game from the 3rd person, which has been spawned a lot lately, if not for two important components: the total realism of what is happening on the screen and excellent direction. It is these elements that distinguish the game from the rest, otherwise it is a very high-quality action game, but I personally have seen a lot of these, and the first missions are completely reminiscent of Kane & Lynch. But realism decides. He decides that Max Payne 3 can be safely called the most realistic action game of all time: all the characters are beautifully animated, physics even calculates spent cartridges and empty clips, and Rockstar's calling card (Total attention to detail) has reached its peak. And beautifully choreographed cut-scenes that smoothly transition into the gameplay (Without any downloads), make the game look like some particularly cool Hollywood crime thriller. Passed only the first part of the game (there are 3) and while there are no special complaints, the game is played with a bang. Sometimes there are punctures in "Euphoria", when enemies with holes in their heads begin to hold on to their stomachs or, worse, dance for a couple of seconds, but this is a trifle.
