Max Payne 3 Pisses me off!

Nobody cares

Optimization was very good and thats it.

I really enjoyed these things in max payne 3 to be honest , too bad you don't fully enjoy it , but the story is really good and worth watching ... believe me , it might not be the best in the series but it's damn good.

Sometimes the best is just the first one game, cuz when the video games have a second shot could be really disappointing for us js. Im really sorry about that btw :(

For an opposing opinion, I found the first two to be abysmal- buggy, clunky, shallow, repetitive, and all-around unpleasant to play- while the current one is, from what I've seen, far more accessible, polished, immersive, and engaging.

Likewise, I disliked the original Tomb Raider games for similar reasons, while the remake series is an even bigger step forward from its predecessors than Max Payne 3 is from its own.

Inevitably- unless we're talking franchises like Assassin's Creed- styles will eventually change. Much like with how a majority seem to view Dark Souls 2 as the worst in the series, while a minority claim the opposite, stylistic changes often end up being more a difference in who they appeal to, than of overall improvements or declines. Which isn't to say that some games aren't just failures under more objective considerations [like, say, Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris, which is buggy to the point of unplayability], but that generally, what you're venting about is dissimilarity, rather than negativity.

This, of course, is why it's always important to carefully review games before purchasing :glances at the URL bar: or otherwise acquiring them. Compared to a few decades ago, information on games is readily accessible and often deeply in-depth. Sometimes there's no avoiding getting a disappointing game- some things can't really be (dis)appreciated unless encountered first-hand, but it's usually a great way to determine things like, say, if a game has introduced lengthy cutscenes into its franchise. ~.^

(P.S. All the things you mentioned sound great to me, and are elements that contribute to the improvements on the things I found weak in the original games. It is what it is~)

Story is mostly acceptable. There is one chapter that reminds me good old max payne - and I loved it (but I don't know how much you have played so no spoilers).
Shooting - yea, probably best in whole series.

What I hated in this game was "shooter on rails" parts. Just who thought that it was good idea to put them there?

At least you can't skip most of the cutscenes, because reasons!

so the moral of the story is you don't like the cutscenes cause they happen too often.

no giveaway boys, get out.

in chapter 5 now. man so much self pitiful talk, i never thought this would annoy me so much. still he talks every shit, they overdone mp character this way, also i miss the small details like the bumps the tvs etc. the game is heavily linear too, mp was never complex but not this linear.

worst title in the series for sure. too bad, i really love the score so far but as expected this is just not feeling like a badass mp game.

It's a demo for GTA V. :p Yeah i really didn't like it either.

im nearly though it now, shows how annoying and boring it is when i left off a game and play later on!
more points which suck so hard

• when you die you always have to watch a small sequence again
• many unfair situations where 4 guys already surround u and shoot immediately, lazy balancing
• max payne really should have stfu, every 1 he talks about shit, and 1000 times how he failed and shown how he drinks alcohol. yeah i get it....
• the story is very underwhelming and not max paynish.... the setting had some nice touches with the flashbacks, sorry max in brazil doesnt fit

this game PISSES ME SO OFF! i thought it would get better but to watch 5-10 minutes cutscenes between chapters and the level structure like this:
walk -> cutscene -> shoot 2-5 guys -> cutscene -> shoot 3 guys -> cutscene -> walk -> railshooterscene -> cutscene -> walk -> cutscene -> shoot 8 guys -> long cutscene and so on.

wtf?! i already had no fun and wanted to quit after chapter 7 but i dotnt like unfinished games and i didnt want to accept that it gets worse and a beloved series's fell to shit!

thanks rockstar and remedy for fucking up MP3, all those praising reviews are just garbage and were on a hype train or dunno what max payne was about!

too bad, some moments were nice (especially the new york onesI) and the soundtrack is great!
