uh guys, this game is ass
>>719616073Yeah, it's actually disgusting just how much of a downgrade it is in every way to the original. It makes sense though as the first game was a passion project of blood, sweat, and tears, whereas Max Payne 2 was just an overly polished turd because Rockstar paid Remedy huge amounts of money to shit out a sequel, even though Max Payne 1 was meant as a complete experience with no intended sequel.
>>719616073It's an incredibly short game.

3 is legit better than 2
gameplay3>>1>>>>>2Story1>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2
>>719616347Even as a kid I thought this. 1 and 3 will always reign supreme.
>>719616073>>7196163473 is where third person shooters peaked. The gunplay was so smooth and snappy that they had to nerf it in GTAV for the multiplayer.
>>719616317Dead Rising
Does anyone know how's the optimization is for 3 for PC port?
Better than the first
>>719616494Runs great
>>719616460that's weird considering max payne 2 is a superior game.
The graphics and physics were mindblowing in 2003
>>719616646They're kinda eh. People fly across the room when you shoot them with a fucking Beretta.
>>719616347The cover shooter movie game with dogshit unskippable cutscenes every 2 minutes? Yeah, that checks out for /v/
>>7196167542's OP bullet time where you run at sanic speed is far more casual than anything in 3
>>719616646Max Payne 1&2 are the Seinfeld of videogames; At release, there was nothing like it, but hack frauds faggots have stolen and copy&pasted all of their unique ideas so much that uneducated zoomer retards look at the original masterpiece and go "i don't get it what's so special about this, there's nothing unique about it"
>huge amounts of time-wasting cutscenes (literally like 75% of the game) despite much worse writing and story>levels are more generic, lacking attention to detail, and with huge amounts of filler space along with dozens of locked doors that look identical to open doors>disgustingly horrendous motion blur effect that can't be disabled (there's even an entire chapter revolving around this bullshit)>bullet time system completely butchered, turning you into a literal superhuman instead of just being used to focus aim, it also lasts for like 15 seconds and refills near instantly after use, and for some reason features an instant reload complete with gay ballerina twirl>difficulty is completely neutered and all the difficulties play extremely similar, despite requiring multiple runs to unlock (the hardest difficulty is literally just the highest dynamic rank of easy mode except with limited saves)>to compensate for the non-existent difficulty and broken OP bullet-time, the game constantly throws enemies at you from behind through random locked doors and fills stages with instant death hazard bullshit (it's still overall way easier, just what little challenge is present is mostly cheap, annoying bullshit) >two enemy types copy-pasted hundreds of times>Max forgets his dead family and simps for some random whore psychopath who tried to kill him>plot literally just boils down to "grrr!! the group from the first game is so mad at you!! They are omniscient and omnipotent so will send an infinite monster closet of goons at you everywhere you go!! ooooo scary!!!">guy who murders 600 people gets a mental breakdown from killing a corrupt detective in order to save his lover... right...>not to mention that absolutely atrocious sniping section where Max is a stupid, helpless puppy dog and Mona must save him>this extremely corny story is told without even a hint of irony or humorIt actually makes me physically mad just how much they fucked it up
>>719616754Max Payne 3 is significantly harder than 1 which in itself is significantly harder than 2.
>>719616964Max Payne 1 was, and still is, unique. Max Payne 2 was, and still is, a lazy turd for a paycheck because Cockstar threw money at them.
>>719617240max pyane 2 is a seriously flawed game but calling it simply lazy is bad faith.
>>719616073The second Max Payne lost Sam Lake's face is when the games became shit.
>>719617240retardThat's 3. 2 was actually pretty decent and faithful to the orginal. But the original will always be the GOAT.
>>719617626There's no point; He's probably a retard that doesn't have the required IQ to understand the story like >>719617069
>>719617626No, that was 2. Cockstar bought the rights and gave them a huge amount of money to shit out a sequel that they didn't want to make. The story is awful, and despite being better on a technical level, they butchered the bullet-time mechanics, challenge, and level designMP3 was actually fucking great, only downside is the cutscenes are woven into the gameplay and unskippable but pretty sure there is a mod for that.
Scratch that, he actually defended MP3, which automatically makes him a huehue-favelamonkey spic.
>>719617719>MP3 was actually fucking greatkill yousrelf. not even worth replying
>>719617691The story is lazy, contrived, retconned dogshit because they didn't plan or want to make a sequel, but had to shit one out due to cockstar. Too bad the general public saw right through it and it flopped like a turd in the toilet bowl, selling half as much despite a much larger budget.
>>719617829>>719617813MP3's gameplay elements are far better than 2 across the board, mostly because it actually has a balanced bullet-time system, great level design, and a proper amount of challenge, instead of being braindead easy garbage for retards. The story changes Max and is a big tonal shift, but if you just view it as its own thing, a sort of generic action plot, it's not bad. I mean almost anything is better than 2's mopey, contrived dogshit plot that is both a detriment to its own game, and retroactively makes Max Payne 1 worse. Yet it feels the need to shove its story down your throat constantly, through the game's many, MANY cutscenes. It's strange the double standard, I'm actually pretty sure MP2 has more cutscenes, so I guess the only issue is you just can't skip them in MP3, but there's a mod for that anyways.
>>719616073I agree, but still better than nothing. It feels like a dlc expansion to the first game if anything tho
>>719617143>Max Payne 3 is significantly harder than 1I strongly disagree with this. in 3 every gun aside from the shotguns are ridiculously accurate if you shoot in small bursts, and virtually every enemy can be killed with two bullets.

Ok but the ragdolls of Max Payne 2 are some of the best I've seen in gaming
>>719618506I'm talking about max difficulty. Hardcore and Old-School and NYMH in MP3 are much, much harder than MP1 on DoAOn normal? Idk probably, Max Payne 3's normal is really easy compared to hardcore.
>>719618506I started 3 on Hard and it's a harm on my neural system. Some levels had me dying within seconds so much that the game gave me extra painkillers
>>719618625>I'm talking about max difficulty.same, they still die in 2 shots from anything, so long as you hit the head.
you have to admit that Remedy's opus was Max Payne 1 and it was all downhill from thereAnd who's to blame? Sam Lake
>>719616646>>719616734They were peak, we spend hours launching that dude from construction site balcony in Mona's sniping level, to see who could make him fly further and do more flips
>>719616073>uh guys, this game is assYou have to play it on the hardest difficulity to get the good ending.
>>719618786Yeah bro just get 2 headshots on each one of the tiny heads of the dozen enemies in a room when you have almost no bullet time and die in like 1 secondYou've never beat Hardcore and it's painfully obvious
>>719618804It's honestly the only Remedy game I feel compelled to replay. They got too gimicky with the "cinematic" experience later on and lost sight of what makes a video game fun.
>>719618898>Yeah bro just get 2 headshots on each one of the tiny headsuhh, yes.
>>719616073Is that Saul Goodman?
>>719616073nah its great actually
>>719616073I liked it. The bullet time is cool, I really dig the spins and addition of doves. The physics for 2003 were really cool too, seeing dudes flop when I shoot them in the head and the surreal dream shit. But I enjoy John Woo movies :3
>>719618942Still like 10x harder than MP1 DoA
>>719616398Gameplay: 1>3>2Story: 1>3>2Environment: 1>2>3Physics: 2>1>3Memeability: 1>2>31 is tech demo with everything good, 2 is just new tech demo with the rest packed just for shits and giggles, 3 is the unwanted child taken in by a rich family who loves GTA
>>719619230are you seriously implying 3 has a better story than 2 lol
>>719619252Yes, unfortunately. The pacing is all over the place, then having to play mona for no damn good reason.
>>719619060No it's Maul Badman
>>719619287Mona sections are great, and 3's story is just a pisspoor copy of 2's (Max uncomtrollably spiraling down)
>>719619190I disagree. in 1 enemies will still gun you down in a heartbeat if you let them and the better you do the less leeway they give you, but you it doesn't let you quickly double tap enemies with a basic pistol. the hardest part in 3 was fighting the game constantly trying to force you into cover or switching your weapons during a 5 second cutscene before throwing you into an ambush.
>>7196192522's story is offensively bad, 3's story is just bland.
>>719619230The other thing i didnt like about 2 is the hit effect/mark doesn't have the gore it had in 1, instead its some dust/pop effect like shooting rubber bullets instead of blood splash or something like that.
>>719619409Nuh uh
>>719619394MP1 on DoA is legitimately pretty easy and you can cheese almost everything in the game with corner pre-firing, MP3 is significantly harder and gives you very little bullet time or tools to work with.You're about the only person I've ever seen who finds MP3 easier than MP1 on highest difficulty, assuming you're not trolling.
>>719619386See >>719619409Anon said what i thought, 3 is spiralling down like a rollercoaster loosing its momentum but at least the pacing is going down, 2 is like fucking tetris.
>>719617143yeah its significantly harder to tolerate
Ah, so the board has an MP2 schizo now. Once again, nu-/v/ doesn't disappoint in disappointing.
i hated max payne 3 for forcing aiming down sights and only 2 weapons.max payne 2 is the best
3's Story is great wtf are you guys on about.
>>719619518I'm serious>MP3 is significantly harder and gives you very little bullet time or tools to work with.they give you less bullet time, and limit your weapons, but they also made enemies a lot easier to kill imo. in 3 I basically need to just worry about being forced into cover and occasionally making sure I don't run out of ammo in general, but that's virtually it.
>>719619829what's so great about playing as a bald bearded emasculated faggot in the second half of the gmae
