Max Payne 3 - Your Thoughts?

[Smurf]

Every new video makes me want it more:

Looks good. I wonder if they'll delay the PC version's release like they did with GTA IV. Can't say I'd mind as long as they iron out any bugs

Jesus fucking christ, i just bought the game and installed/updated it..... the crap just crashes to desktop, great!

I really like it. The cover system is there, but you don't have to use it. I'm playing it on hard which is about as difficult as normal was in games some years ago.

I like the game quite a lot, but it's unstable. And besides the black screens, CTDs on startup and random freeze/stuttering, those bullet sponge enemies make we want to kill the person that came up with them.

People, no matter how heavily armoured, are not bullet sponges. You got that, Rockstar?

Finally got to play it and i do like it but the game going from gameplay to cinematic and back again is annoying and specially since it does it every freaking few minutes. Anyway it's more true to the original than Max Payne 2 was so i'm a happy camper.

This game has a serious identity crisis.

Is it a Movie, or is it a game?

I don't mind cutscenes but they should always be skippable. I'll decide whether the cutscene is worth my time or not.

It is sheer arrogance that someone would force you to sit through endless cinematics (especially when they happen between every bloody action sequence) and can be very immersion breaking when you just want to get on with the carnage

Oh yeah and the 'bullet sponge' thing is way out of control. 3 chest shots with a .357 to down a non armoured subject is laughable.

I have yet to purchase this one. I think I'll end up getting it for my PS3. That's what I've been buying all of Rockstar's games for.

PS3 experience is fairly flawless.

And the cutscenes are masking horrendously long load times. They're not forcing you to watch the cutscenes, but preventing you from watching a loading bar. All cutscenes are skipable once the content is loaded (and in general that means you might only skip the last 5 seconds of the cinematic)
