Hello everybody!

My credit card's last two days, so, i have decided to buy something. Now -as you know- Max Payne 3 is on sale: $10! But in my currency it'll be 20 bucks. So is Max Payne 3 worth to buy?

(In the end i'm a student ^__^)

It's a game about a guy that kills people while jumping is slow motion. If this sounds good to you, buy. :P
(I actually never played it.)

This one has neither of those. Although it's not a bad game, it's just not "Max Payne" anymore...

Can't you buy it on GMG? MP3 Complete edition, with promo code, costs less than 9 USD... EDIT: 7,83 dollars for complete pack... I don't think it will be cheaper anytime soon(unless we get humble MP weekly;)).

Chances are that is the one the user is referring to. The problem is that the user is also talking about conversion rates. The US Dollar is not a universal constant, and some money is worth considerably less in comparison.

Thanks for heads up! Unfortunately GMG isn't accepting my credit card :/

I really liked it on the Xbox. I think it had a great story and great combat, but im not sure if its optimized on the PC.

Me too. I've tried it on XBOX 360 in an electronics store. Graphics were stunning, also introduction of game was extremely disturbing (i was relieved while those children left the place before that scene).

But i couldn't play so much. I wasn't so good playing shooters with a gamepad ^^

You're right, optimization is another issue. I hope there isn't any problem.

Its extremely well optimized. Nothing like GTA IV or LA Noire.

I dunno about the price, it'll vary depending on your own enjoyment.

I found it to be a pretty standard AAA title fare. Shiny, pretty, but ultimately repetitive gameplay that starts well but gets old quick. The multiplayer had great potential but I always found it quite laggy. Not so much noticable lag, but just that the hit detection always seemed to be out by just enough to be infuriating (given how mobile the combat is).

If in doubt, wait for the big christmas sales and hope for a bit more off-

I felt it in Max Payne 2. "In my humble opinion" story wasn't so good and the game turned into jump and gun in no time.

Terrible story and delivery, but if you switch your brain off, underneath is a very fun shooter with great shooter mechanics, and a game theat looks good, and surprisingly for a rockstar game, actually runs really well too.

So it's only a run and gun game? Sad.

On the bright side optimization is good as you say. Hmm, sounds good.

Or ... the story is crap but you think it's great because you're an idiot? I have no dog in this fight. Never played any of the Max Payne games. Just playing Devil's Advocate. ;)

The story is shit.

This is fun, yay!

But yeah, I stick by what I said, compared to the original games, subtlety and solid dialog, as well as character development has been stripped out in favour of an EXTREMELY heavy handed and one sided social ideology... But hey, if that's your thing, more power to you.

To the guy asking the question, I think the game is definitely worth playing for its fun shooting and levels, you'd probably get your money's worth out of the shooting alone (I enjoyed it for that much alone...really, the combat is very fun!), but if you aren't just about the graphics, I'd recommend the originals over mp3 any day of the week, if you haven't played em. Even today, they hold up as some of the best handled game narratives ever, that evoke more emotion in a single static image than mp3 can muster in the entire game.

Or you can buy the complete pack from Amazon for $14.99, which activates on Steam.

Oh, thanks for heads up. But unfortunately my credit card really bad about this. It won't work on Amazon as well ^__^

Well, I played the first 2 games and loved them to death. But I was kinda disappointed with the 3rd one because it just didn't capture that max payne feel and sorta went for the generic fps layout. It is definitely fun, but at that price I would consider something else, plenty of other good games for sale

The game is worth ten bucks, that's for sure. Of course, you could wait for its price to drop eventually on Christmas or any other time. The best value choice would be Steam redeemable Max Payne 3 + Max Payne 3 Rockstar Pass from Amazon for $9.99. Ask your friend living in the USA to buy it for you :)

It's worth it. The game is good. People expeceted them to make the same game for the third time but of course that didn't happen so people complain. It's dark in it's own way. The story is awesome noir-style as always, you even go back to the more darker stuff in "flashbacks". Max is still the messed up wreck he used to be, still can't manage to get his shit together, still fails to save the girls in his life. Classic anti-hero. Don't let the hate of some people distract you. It's clearly no MP1 or MP2, but it's great in it's own.

Oh, thanks. Actually i think they don't release (or even started to make) Half-Life 3 because of that. People have too much expectations now.

Their expectations can't be met, that's the problem. If they make a game that is basically like the game before they'll complain that it's just the same game all over. If they change some things people will complain that it "sux so bad" because it's not like the other games.

Absolutely worth it. Don't listen to all those people who can't stand a change and just wanted a copy of the first game.

Story sucks, and the tons of cutscenes kinda ruin the experience, but the actual gameplay is really good. It's not the good ol' max, but still good game.

Yes, story is great, gameplay was great, one of the best 3rd person shooters in forever.

Personally I loved the cutscenes.

They were great at first. But when you play arcade mode and get to the point when you can go make a sandwich and cutscene still won't end (like NightClub, getting into helicopter scene), that's when you know there's something wrong with them :P

If you miss Max Payne 1 & 2, yes it's worth it but it's really short :)

You can't skip the cutscenes. Want to restart the game at a different difficulty level? Good luck stomaching that goddamn twenty minute-long intro again.

The gunplay is average at best. Very mediocre game overall.

Whatever are you talking about? You can skip cutscenes. Press space, then enter and that's it. Just enter works as well I think. Not to mention that intro appears only the first time you play the game.

Also I would like you to show me a game with better gunplay. Average gunplay is present in Spec Ops: The Line. MP 3 has one of the best gunplays ever created in video games.

No. It's worth maybe 5$, or even 10$, but not 20$.
