Simple question. Is this game worth playing? I played Max Payne 2 when it was popular and I loved it so much. Is Max Payne 3 as good as it's precursor or is it overestimated?
From what I've played, it may or may not be good, so I would suggest waiting until next Tuesday.
You'll come for the SP but you'll stay for the MP. I know because my cousin who works at rockstar told me so.
A reasonable, detailed and in-depth answer just for you, OP!Yes it is. Unless you don't like it, then no it's not. Yeah?
Okey this is the situation. A friend of mine started this topic just to screw with me... So i'm not stupid, but my friend apparently is.

A "friend", huh? I guess you both spell "Okay" as "Okey"?

Seems legit. I find that any time I post something stupid, it was actually a friend messing with me.

That is some grade A detective work.
Oakee, remember that last time I said something dumb, and everyone called me out on it? Yeah, that was my "friend" and he took my body and forced me to type it. It was the devil I swear. I mean, wait, what?
I'm from another timeline where dinosaurs still exist and the game has had a bad reception particularly because it's hard for them to use the controller with three fingers. And they don't really like film noirish stories.
What do you do when you contract genital herpes?...I'm, uh, asking for a friend.

Contract more of it to cancel it all out.
So guys, is a PS5 better than the current Xbox 720, or should I wait for the Phantom 2 to come out?
"I played Max Payne 2 when it was popular..." What does that even mean?

This is priceless.... I laughed quite hard. Well done sir!!
I was watching a live stream of it last night thanks to @Fjordson and when the guy took serious damage he took cover and waited for the damage to decrease to no avail, it was GLORIOUS.@solidlife: Dude who was streaming got through the first act in about 4,5 hours(according to him) there are 3 acts. So something around 12 hours is my guess. Obviously longer if you suck(one guy died over and over again during several parts, wasn't using BT, not shootdodging, not using painkillers, a total mess, he was playing it like it was Gears)
Followed.Clearly the inner circle framed him.
Yes, yes and yes. I had the privilege of receiving a copy early. Just wrapped up the second act.

I don't really like the game technically rewarding you for failure, if you continue from a checkpoint after dying you get all your health back and and one full magazine of ammunition for your guns and I think it'll give you painkillers after repeated deaths. So there's no more "Oh shit, I just quick saved with almost no health, low ammo and no painkillers" moments. I guess in the case of MP1/MP2 that's technically "bad game design" and it's a good thing that it's not a problem. But I hope on the harder difficulties they don't restore your health/ammo/painkillers.
It depends how the balance the game when that is concerned. It never took too many bullets to get killed on regular difficulty in the first 2 games so hopefully its still fairly challenging despite health being restored on checkpoints.
And yeah I hope health isn't restored on higher difficulties.
