Max Payne 3

[RJ2K]

I haven't played MP3 since I've beaten it weeks ago. The online is fun but it's not that great when I'm playing by myself. any crews?

Re: Max Payne 3

I am on the last chapter I believe (chapter 14) but I just can't get past this one section.

Spoiler

The part where the guy with the grenade launcher and all the trucks roll up. I am thinking this must be the last battle with just how insane hard it is. Any tips how to get past this section. I don't have enough bullet time, pain killers, or cover. Even if you do hide behind cover the guy will launch grenades at you.

Re: Max Payne 3

Can anyone who has the 360 copy confirm the online population they experience as of lately. Im starting to think that i made a mistake buying it on the PS3 as there are not a lot of players online.

I have the PS3 version and that is my worry that the community will be really small. If it is already dwindling it will only get worse and that is the reason why I am holding off on the rockstar pass.

The Campaign in this game is so bad ***, just gets better the more you play it.

Finally completed my second playthrough (Hard/Free Aim) and will eventually tackle the Hardcore/OldSchool playthrough as well.

i have it for the 360 and there really isnt alot of people playing it. although when i play its usually at 3am PST.

i play soft lock so it may be more people playing free aim, but usually see around 700-1000 people in team deathmatch and/or gang wars. the other lists are very small.

Yea I noticed a big dropped of people online lately, most of the matches I been in are usually like 2 on 2 and sometimes 4 on 4 if l'm lucky. The population hasn't been the same since launch.

Re: Max Payne 3

Currently on chapter 12....

Spoiler

Im at the very end when the guy comes out with the helmet and machine gun on top of the structure, if Im not thrown around by the shaking building then Im hit and it takes him so long to get his *** off the ground he gets lit up in the process. Am I missing something? Is there a tip or trick Im missing here?

I really think Im just at the point where I hate this level. I finally get back to that point, deliver a few head shots and then the building shakes all over the damn place, I get hit, go into that mode where the camera turns grey and you have a chance to shoot and survive only to not be able to aim because the damn screen is shaking so I die. Ive never been more annoyed with a game in my life, I got no idea how guys do this on the harder difficulties as Im about to quit and be done with it as it is.

Im at that same spot and just quit playing it was just pissing me off. The single player for Max Payne 3 is just getting tiresome and boring.

I have it on PS3 and have been playing online quite a bit these last few weeks. I find the numbers quite deceiving. I will log in and go to play Gang Wars in the Free-Aim playlist and it will list something like 80-100 people playing. When I click on it, though, I have no problems getting into full games that are (for the most part) lag-free.

The problem is that everybody plays soft-lock online. Just like RDR. You can usually find between 200-400 people playing soft-lock Gang Wars every evening. Remember, there are only 16 people in game, so 200 people is plenty enough to get a full game.

I don't know why so many people play soft-lock. Every time I play, there is always 5 or 6 guys running around with body armor and LMGs just holding down the lock and fire buttons. Every time I die and they show the paper doll silhouette of where the bullets hit, I have about 35 shots all clustered on my character's groin area. A crappy way to die.

Re: Max Payne 3

Beat it finally two days ago.

WOW GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Story = Single best single player story I have ever played through. It was done like a true movie. It reminded me a ton of Man on Fire with a mix of Die Hard!

Sound = The sound was done perfect. In the airport when the music kicks in just made me

Gameplay = I don't know of any other shooter that has made me feel like such a badass THAT WAS A HUMAN and not a bullet sponge. The movement controls can be a bit funky at times but the gun play, bullet time, and dive options open up some epic moments.

Spoiler

The section on the train where he leaps from one window to the next blew my mind. I literally said out loud WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

Game was easily a 9.5/10 for me. I give a half point off for the somewhat lack luster ending. The story was amazing to me and sucked me in like no other game. The little touches to details really made it feel authentic

Spoiler

Grabs a plastic bottle to make a one shot silencer

and made the world feel real.

Now to tackle it on hard

Ohh and the people that having a hard time getting through some parts. Just remember that so many games fail to give us a challenge. When you beat MP3 you will feel like you accomplished something. That is what I loved about the challenge! It felt rewarding yet helped you in time of need with pain killers and bullet time.

IMO the world and the atmosphere is much better than the story and the characters. I don't even really think the story made that much sense, to be honest.

But it's definitely a game of the year contender.

Hilarious.

Anyways, I did beat that part, had to dumb down the difficulty just to get through it but seeing as Im just trying to finish the story at this point it didnt really make a difference.
