If you're the schizo who has been posting dozens of Max Payne threads in the past few weeks, probably a bad time because he has made it very clear to everyone (many times) he doesn't look the series.
If not, a good time. Didn't expect much from MP3, it looked so different from the first two, but was pleasantly surprised just how great of a game it is, and how well it fits the narrative.

It's just a hivemind thing, retards shriek about how it's a movie game when 1 and 2 had entire chapters without any combat

yeah. those chapters had platforming and mazes. as in gameplay. faggot.

Not him but I don't recall ever going more than a few minutes in a cutscene. There was a lot of them, but they were usually just a minute or two at most between action sections (probably to obfuscate load times).
It's not like the story was so unbearably shit that they couldn't be stood either.

Play the first two on PC.

But regardless, they're the best third-person shooters of all time.

A game series that was groundbreaking back in 1999, but now will make you wonder how it ever got famous at all because its innovations were adapted to other games before you were born and won't seem novel anymore.

Remedy have never made a good game and are horrendous developers

all of them are skippable, if not optional at times. MP3 has it where even installing mods to skip cutscenes will crash the game.
>It's not like the story was so unbearably shit that they couldn't be stood either.
MP2 legitimately has shit writing. a lot of it removes any mystique some of the characters of the first game had, and the vlad being the villain is a hamfisted choice.

Aged dogshit for the first two and fun dogshit for the third one

Max Payne 3 is an excellent game, but you have to play it on PC.

Yeah like I said the cutscenes in MP3 were probably mostly to obfuscate load times, when I tried replaying the game in arcade mode I realized the "Press Enter to skip" button doesn't even work, they're fucking structural apparently.
But they're in lieu of load screens, like elevator conversations and the "shuffle through a narrow crevice" trope, just a symptom of the era the game was made.

it's been ~15 years but I do recall the story for MP2 being kind of shit, yeah, whereas I only played MP3 a few months back and I liked the story a lot.

>it kicks in
The soundtrack really elevates the game, it was a great move to commission a band to do the entire OST.

>retards talking shit about 2
Yeah OK. Leave it up to /v/ to be contrarian just for the sake of it.
2>1>>>3

I hope you're not playing the Xbox version of those games. Play them on PC.

>Play the first two on PC

Why would the original poster not play the 3rd on PC?

Mp1/2 feel like the only boomer shooters where you can run and gun most of the game. every other game from the area is full of hitscan enemies that hit you almost no matter what you do.

2 doesnt change much over 1. its almost DLC with little content or new additions. its even shorter, and reuses levels.

>>716314472 (OP)
Series really isn't that good. It's mid at best

this is what peak gameplay looks like according to Max Payne fans

A time capsule

>>716314472 (OP)
very short games, you'll be done today

>>716322589
>I posted it again!
Genuine skill issue by the way.

Missed shots, out in the open for several attempts, embarrassing.

>>716314472 (OP)
1+2 is m.p.
3 is g.t.a. + bullet time

>easier and fast action drama meme

>>716314472 (OP)
A decent first game, a dumb but fun second game, and a shitty spin off with the number 3 on it.
>>716322589
MP3 fans aren't people, you can disregard anything they say.

Lol damm even good games and /v/ fags still cry and complain and use there little buzz words

>>716314472 (OP)
A loved MP 1-2 actually but couldn't try out Max Payne 3 on release because my toaster was weak, and I completely forgot about it since then. How is it?
