Did not shoot a single white person for the entirety of the game.

10/10

Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter that follows the story of Max Payne.After his violent past he wants to drink himself to death.Raul Passos convinces him to work for his employer as a personal bodyguard.

The game has a solid storyline and at times it feels more like a cinematic experience than an action game.Throughout the game,Max Payne will narrate his story.Maybe for some it is a downside that Max Payne has so many cutscenes.I kinda enjoyed it to be honest.But I think they exaggerated with the filters every now and then.I guess they wanted to show how Max Payne was struggling with his alchool and painkillers addiction through the filters during the cutscenes.The dark storyline is perfect for Max Payne's personality and humor style.

The levels are beautifully designed.The lighting,the details,shadows and so on are very well done.My personal favorite is the favelas in Sao Paolo.


Bullet time,bulllet cam and cover to cover style combat.This about sums up the gameplay in Max Payne 3.Because of the great physics engine,it's satisfying to kill enemies.Shooting stuff is also satisfying.Rockstar did a great job in making this game fun.As I said before,some people don't like the amount of cutscenes because it takes away from the actual gameplay.Even if I liked the storyline,I agree that the game should have had more in-game time shooting people.

The storyline took me 8 hours to complete on normal difficulty.


I didn't buy the game for the multiplayer so I never tried it.But for what I have seen and heard,it's not really good.And even if I wanted to play online,there is no one playing anymore.


-Multiplayer
-Cutscenes take away from the gameplay(took me 8 hours to finish the game,I'd say 2 hours or even more are cutscenes)
-Gameplay becomes repetitive towards the end
-Too many filters.During some cutscenes they literally went crazy with the special effects and different colours.


Max Payne 3 is definitely not a masterpiece.It's a good,fun game with a solid storyline narrated by Max Payne himself.Graphics are top notch and the game is optimised perfectly for the PC.Rockstar club didn't give me any trouble.At 75% off this is a must just for the singleplayer experience.

Good game! 7/10! The story is pretty good if you enjoy macho action type movies...I kept thinking of older Mel Gibson movies playing it. The graphics and gameplay are very good. The replay value maybe not so much, after one play through I dont think I will be going back to play the game again, it took me about 10 hours to beat. Get it on sale if you can and enjoy over a weekend and some bruskies!

Hi. Before leaving a like or a dislike you need to know that I do not give a damn. Yes.
So...I actually wanted to describe this game by asking a few different questions:
1) You wanna know what to do when your whole family gets killed?
2) You wanna know what to do when you lost the sense of your life?
3) You wanna listen to the most dramatic and at the same time thrilling soundtracks?
4) You wanna enjoy killing "BAD PEOPLE" in the slow motion?
5) Maybe you also wanna experience the feeling of revenge?
6) Or at least you just wanna spend your time playing some awesome shooter?
If your answer or your answers are "YES" on one or more of these quetions then, BROs, you need to play this game.
And I`d also like to advise you to play Max Payne and Max Payne 2.
This game is just simply enjoyable...Just like my review.
Bye.

Im going to split this into sections, i wrote this review after my second playthrough on the AMD card

The Good:

The story is ♥♥♥♥ing fantastic, the gunplay is amazing and the game honestly is more like art than a video game

The Bad:

The multiplayer is bland and doesnt add anything to the game, similar to Far Cry's multiplayer, Its fun to ♥♥♥♥ around with and i remember being pretty decent at it on Xbox, but i wouldnt come back to it on PC, probably no one playing it anyway :D

And The Ugly:

Although this a great game, its hard to actually get running, i found myself having to actually force DX9 to actually get it not freeze on the copyright screen (Properties -> Set Launch Options -> "-dx9" for anyone curious) or having to manually reset the graphics options by deleting the "graphics.xml" in "My Documents". People seem to be complaining about social club, and i honestly cant remember if it had the awful version of social club of Pre-GTAV (The one from GTAIV) before GTA V was released, but if it didnt then i dont really see social club as an issue, sure its annoying, but ive never had an issue with the new one

TL;DR. fantastic game, load of ♥♥♥♥♥ on an AMD, probably fine on nVidia

The Story and main character were really well crafted.Shooting mechanics were on point and bullet time was decent.
The problem was it gets repetitive by the end.You only shoot one or two types of enemies through the entire game.
The action and set pieces were great.I would recommend it if you are a action adventure type fan!

Anyone who has played the original two Max Payne games probably won't hesitate to give great credits to Rockstar for Max Payne 3, which took nearly 8 years to return. Bullet time, amazing gunshots scene, a feast for anyone who loves TPS. It might seem a little boring with ever-lasting shooting , but with movie-like CG and movie-like story, it's never boring, it's stimulating, like a real hollywood redemption hero movie. And no need to say , outstanding job for Rockstar to maximize its optimizition and graphics. Though with a little glitches in the movement system, Max Payne is still a game for anyone who fancied TPS and movie-like games.

Max Payne 3 is a truely remarkable game. The story is great, the graphics are outstanding, and most importantly, the gameplay kept my invested to the very end. You never can really get tired to mowing down enemies in bullet time. This is a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy and hopefully Rockstar will give us a remaster of the first 2 some day.

(Max Payne 3 is my first Max Payne I hve ever played so this review is from a newcomer to the series also I do not own any DLC's for this game)

Pros:
+Fun Thrid-Person Shooter with awesome slowing-time mechanic, bulletime
+Game itself s very challenging even on normal difficulty
+The game itself is actually long its will take you about 9 to 10 hours to complete.
+The 10 hours might seem short but you shouldn't worry because there is plenty to do afterwards. There is a mode called New York Minute that asks you to complete level in one minute without dying. You can complete the game second time on higher difficulty or do some challenges.
+The weapon variety is good
+You can duel weild two guns, which is always a plus in my book
+Shootdodge mechanic
+Multiplayer which actually uses bulletime and it's a buckets fun (But now it has some flaws which I am going to explain later)
+Story is good but nothing amazing to be honest
+Ending was good
+Max Payne as a character is very likeable
+Soundtrack, the music is awesome but the music that playes in the airport level i the best and I strongly recommend to listen to it.
+Levels are very well designed

Meh
=Nothing

Cons
-Alright here are two big ones but not really gamebreaking. The game pacing, the game itself is all action BUT the problem here is the cutscenes, these for me are used too frequently, they completly break up the gameplay and sometimes it's just feels like they wanted to do a interactive movie and not a TPS with badass bulletime mechanic. And some of these cutscenes are useless like they only shown enemies getting in the room or Max getting on something (but thankfully you can skip them)
-The second major problem I have with the game it's with multiplayer. The multiplayer itself i alright the problem is with the community. The community is alive and kicking and you can still find matches (althouthg I could only find team deathmatches) . Problem arises when you get in the game because the community isn't the biggest it means you are going to play games with lvl 50 that are WAY powerful then you anf they are going to kick you ♥♥♥ hard. Also another thing is the multiplayer DLC sometimes I was just kicked from games because I didn't own the DLC from which was the map we were going to play. It's not a big thing but still a bummer.

Final Verdict 9/10

I absolutly LOVED this game, the shooting the characters,everything. I will for sure play MP 1 and 2 but for anyone that is looking for one of the most solid third-person shooters ever made should really think about buying this game, you will not regret it.

Great game that is always action packed. Well worth its price tag. Even better when its om sale.
The only problem i have with the game is that you cant find a multiplayer game in europe anymore.
