    MP3 was so good, it can almost be considered a hidden gem as it never got the recognition it deserved. An absolutely beautiful looking game, brilliant gun play, so worth playing. It's a pity it was never remastered for the PS4 / XB1.

    • @donogoodatgames
      @donogoodatgames Рік тому

      The game was awesome, my only problem with it is that I got stuck on a boss fight without much ammo, and because of the save system, I literally couldn't go back to a previous checkpoin, or do anything to solve the problem, other than restarting the whole game, and considering I was probably 90% of the way through, that wasn't happening.
      I will say that not being able to play the single player did mean that I gave the multiplayer a chance, and I enjoyed it so much that I even took a break from playing Modern Warfare 3 PvP

      I hated it initially for the same reasons everyone else hated it, dropped it 3 or 4 missions in.
      Then just a few years ago I felt an urge to play a third person shooter and decided to give it another chance, resetting my expectations and deciding to treat MP3 like its own thing.
      O BOY. I beat it twice. In a row. It's hard to put my finger on why, but I'd say it's all about whether or not you want to compare it to previous games. But DAM did Rockstar nail it. The tone, the cinematic feel, the gunplay, the movement, the challenge - everything. Absolutely top notch.

      @Buhfrog 5 років тому +1

      @@SimonHill94 I loved it so much on PC, I bought it again on PS3. The analog stick just doesn't do this game justice when aiming. Especially at what? 30 fps? They try to make up for it with that soft aim lock, or hard aim lock, but it really dampens the fun factor. On the harder difficulties, you really start to get into game mechanics you never would've used otherwise, like blind firing at people to stun them for a second, so you can safely jump, or move to a better position to flank the enemy, or so you yourself aren't flanked. It may be an action game, but there's some intense strategy involved. I know the game did well enough, but I still consider this one of the most underrated video games out there. My only complaint is the long load times, while the story plays. Would love it if they added subtitles, so you as a player could understand what everyone is saying in other languages. Would've been an amazing unlock for beating the game on one of the harder difficulties.

    • @SimonHill94
      @SimonHill94 5 років тому +1

      @@Buhfrog probably didn't even manage 30 FPS to be honest. The load times is another reason why it's best played on PC, especially if you got yourself an SSD. That was mine and a lot of other people's main problem with the MP3, how much the game took control away from you as it loaded the next area. I'm in the same boat though. It's Rockstar's best non open world game and really under appreciated

    What a coincidence, I just finished my fifth playthrough of Max Payne 3 a few days ago. Not a single game in 7 came remotely close to the excellent third-person gunplay and level of detail (considering the age of the game) of Max Payne 3.
    I bought the game in 2013, one year after release and was immediately surprised of how precise and fluid the gunplay felt. Rockstar Games did an excellent job with animation blending, movability and responsiveness. Like stated above I never played a game that feels as good!

    Won't even mention about normal PC stuff, higher resolutions, unlocked FPS, 16 AF, MSAA with transparency options.
    And that's what I remember now. I think the game might've had higher precision motion blur and higher resolution reflections as well.
    So sure, the game looks great on consoles but looks so much better on PC.

      It knows how to best utilize the resources your system has, even on OSs like Vista.

      Kayoshie Flametail Just a bit disappointing that cutscenes are compressed 720p30 videos, are opposed to real-time like GTA 4/5. Most recently I have been floored with how every cutscenes in Gears 5 was real-time.
      MP3 still has a lot of cutscenes that are real time and look so good (maxed out, 4K120 fps), but yeah, transition to cutscenes is just a bit jarring.

The Max Payne series is one of the few Rockstar game franchises I haven't played and the series of reviews CSP's done on the three games had me adding it to the backlog.

    Only thing I didn't like about MP3 is how much it tries to pretend MP2 was a mistake or didn't happen.
    It's like R* thought the reason MP2 bombed was because of the love story... when in fact it was the low marketing.
    With MP3, the marketing was there, but they released it too close to GTA V and in between the 1st trailer in 2011 and the early screenshots months after MP3 released.
    After that, MP3 was DOA. All of R*'s social media promoting MP3 was flooded with people demanding GTA V info and media, and reacting negatively to MP3 promotion.
    What R* should've done was either release MP3 in Q2 of 2011, or push GTA V's trailer by one year to November 2012.
    Both sequels suffer from being great titles destroyed by oversights and bad management. As an MP fan, it killed me to see both MP2 and 3 in the bargain bins and pretty much used as coasters.
    Anyway, as a game, it definitely plays different than the previous games, exchanging the "Hard-Boiled/Matrix" gun-fu for more "realistic" cover shooting mechanics and limiting arsenals.
    If you can overlook the mistreatment of MP2 in 3 and can accept the changed mechanics and floatier shooting, you've got a GOTY contender in MP3.
    My favorite is still 2 though.

    • @RonaattoriFIN
      @RonaattoriFIN 5 років тому

      I think that the cover mechanics were a pretty bad decision for the game. I've completed it so many times , at the hardest difficulty and I noticed that the best and the most fun tactic was run and gun dodging bullets Matrix style just like in the old games, for some reason they don't make it obvious and it just seems like a cover shooter on the surface.

    • @xlixity
      @xlixity 5 років тому

      @@RonaattoriFIN I generally agree with you that going guns blazing is more fun and can even be more satisfying, but the movement on Euphoria games is terrible for it. MP1 and 2 had a more arcadey movement that allowed for better freeflow and control, whereas MP3 has a more "realistic" movement more often than not has me whiffing my first shot because Max decided to take an extra step or some other Euphoria engine related issue.

    I remember being in elementary school reading about the third Max Payne in the Xbox magazine. I think the article stated 'imagine Max Payne going through New York again but has age a little'. At the time I thought no way. The graphics back than were getting better so I thought it'd be similar to the first game's. When it came out I was more in my teen year's and was hyped. The presentation was amazing but to me personally I did want it to take place in New York. To me it seemed like a more dark and dirty place to be in and fits with the story. Even take place somewhere else in the states. But I did enjoy a bit of Brazil. Sorry to say this but Sam Lake is Max Payne. The actual voice actor was great and the guy that did Max for Max Payne 2 was good.
    But I don't think we'll ever see another Max Payne because that's Rockstar for you. Just keep releasing the same game for 3 generations now. It's getting old.

    Max Payne was one of my favourite franchises growing up and although i played it much later i was not disappointed with Max Payne 3, i love how Rockstar made it so detailed with the animation and destructible environments, it wasn't open world so they put the effort into smaller details. The level of detail, believability and fluidity of the animation is still unparalleled imo and although there are gorier games this game is one of the most brutally violent games ever, really makes you uncomfortable but in a good way.
    Also I wish there were more action games that told grounded authentic stories set in real places (yes the bodycount needs to be ridiculous but that's games for you), the only game i've played recently that comes close with mature storytelling is Yakuza. Everything is sci-fi fantasy or bonkers like GTA, Far Cry and Just Cause. Back in the PS2/Xbox era you had Max Payne, Rainbow Six 3, the massively underrated Conflict: Global Terror and numerous others. Call of Duty is the only action adventure game that does real world stuff and even that is mostly World War 3 and often Sci-fi.
