Because of the almost suffocating amount of style wrapped everything to do with Max Payne 3, I imagine it shouldn't require too much effort to make yourself look so fucking cool as you're popping heads one after another. As such, I want to know what's the coolest shit we've managed to pull off, single player or multiplayer otherwise. Also preferably not anything that was scripted; stuff that you yourself have managed to somehow pull off.
What lead me to ask was how just recently, during the Sao Paulo Slums with newly bald Payne when the cops are storming through the streets, I dived down onto a flight of stairs but instead of stopping there, Max actually continued to jumble down in real time as I'm still laying waste to the 3-4 guys in front of me. It left me feeling like such a smoooooth motherfucker, turning what would otherwise be a clumsy mistake instead into a beneficial, but also accidental, tactic.
Besides that, because this is a R* joint, there's been plenty of laugh-riot-inducing jank. One such moment I recall was during the stadium, when I dived up a flight of stairs only for Max to whack his head and then do some sort of backflip. I didn't receive any damage, but it left me exposed all the same to get my bearded face blown away. There was another where I shot some guy into a small grate and his corpse kind of... melded with it, with the character model freaking the fuck out like it was possessed. Finally, and this happened only an hour ago, there was a moment when I shot a guy with a shotgun and his corpse somehow flew up into the ceiling and his corpse got stuck between some pipes - again, with the usual assortment of freaking the fuck out.
It's not like I'm in anyway turned off by those occurrences; they sure as Hell tend to break the immersion, but the hilarity that ensues is always enough to make me shrug and roll with it. Even in a super-serious game like Max Payne 3, watching the physics go completely haywire is still a blessing.
