It might not be to everyone taste but its not below 8/10 game. its just too well made

Opinions!

I should start reviewing games and I would've given Superman 64 10/10 and ME 2 0/10, I can do that, right? Because opinions. You can't defend everything with that drivel.

Those examples are totally the same thing as giving this game an 8/10.

This is the internet.

Rationality goes out the window with arguments.

Alas, if only that weren't the case, this might be a better place.

@Anwar To address your comment, which others have already pointed out, we aren't talking about extremes here. There is a big difference between something that has been hailed as positively miserable like Superman 64 and calling it near perfect, or vise versa in the case of ME 2, and this situation. The gradations in the difference between "good" at 8/10 and "great ,"or whatever other adjective you might want to use, at the 9-10/10 are what "opinion" is all about. A few points different here and there is what we bring to a game when critiquing it.

Maybe it's got a great multiplayer? Maybe that counts as a serious positive for someone; it certainly wouldn't for me because I couldn't care less about mp. Then, maybe the storyline isn't quite up to snuff, and someone doesn't care because they don't really think story is important in games; whereas I would count that seriously against the game. So I give something a 7/10 and someone else gives it a 9/10. Am I crazy? Are they crazy? No! To reiterate...

Opinions!

I think you are crazy...

But I just might be the lunatic you're looking for...

"There are deathmatch and team deathmatch variants, as well as an objective-based Gang War mode, and you’ll earn money and experience that you can use to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities" Really? You need elaboration on how deathmatch, objective-based mode, gear, skills and EXP works?

He means he wants elaboration about the stuff that's NEW in MP3 and hasn't been in other games.

Andrew Reiner has his review up at Game Informer. 9.25/10

Yeah, he could've told us if he thinks the bullettime stuff works well and is fun (or not), he could've told us if he thought the gang wars setup is cool or not. Those are the two seemingly different things that Max Payne is doing in multiplayer, and he doesn't really give his opinion on it.

This is basically what I get from most of the contents of the review, the text gives me the general idea that he thinks it's a well made game, but it doesn't really tell me if he enjoyed it or not.

Good to see that it hasn't changed.

Is it really a good thing?

I just went to watch some Jormungand, then there was 50 or so posts in this thread. And now that I finished with that, now it's 156 and 100 is about review scores and furious anger.

If you ask me, the internet could be better.

Fair play if it's a bug, I'm the dumb asshole who's been refreshing for 132 minutes now.

He WIll prab talk more about it during the bombcast this week. Also the multiplayer is straight forward if you ask me, nothing really to elaborate, It's like asking in a COD review "which sniper is better".

There's slow motion in multiplayer, that's pretty goddamn far from straight forward.

Brad just let me know "No, there was an error processing the file -- should be up soon." So. Soon the wait will be over!

Is that a Brad's soon or a normal's soon? Brad definition of soon can go from 5 minutes to 5 days.

@Winternet: We can probably expect the QL about a week from now

It isn't, but I think I've become too attached to how it is now.

Likely it is "When Drew or Vinny get chance to fix it". Guess it depends on what else they have to do and what exactly fucked up.

@alternate: I'd be interested in knowing what happened, large issue or small. If anyone finds out throw the explanation here and try to ignore any sort of 'opinions' that come from people of the internet in response (prolly mean, or harsh).

Anyway, since Max Payne 3 is pretty big, the Quick-Look should have top priority from them.

@Winternet: Shit breaks though, dawg.

@Sheetsy77: I hear ya. Shit breaks like whoa, son.

@Winternet: Especially considering the fact that it's been in the "Coming Up" Queue since last Thursday

For a second there I was worried I'd been misreading the Coming Up thing all this time and that it said the Review was up and not a Quick Look. Thankfully that is not the case...

The art style is not so great (those faces, ugh), but so far it's not bad.

Technical issues. Quick Look imminent.

It kind of just falls down the hole of adaptations where they do it without changing a single thing. For good and for bad.

I don't know how far you're in, but some of the more recent episodes had me rolling my eyes. : (

I know, it's just sort of painful to not see them fix any of the flaws. What I think were flaws, anyways.

That's alright by me. The fewer spoilers the better.

The extra wait for this Quick Look was absolutely worth it. The first 6 minutes alone sold me on the game.

Short underwhelming early-level quick look is short and underwhelming :/ Why did I expect more..

I don't know why you would expect a later level quick look, either.

Why exactly didn't they play multiplayer?
