What does anyone think of the latest rockstar release? Worth a buy or remember LA noire and hold back til it hits the cheap shelf?

I'm apprehensive about Max Payne 3. I love the dark, gritty, noir-type story they had. This new transition worries me. I will wait until the game comes down in price, but I am interested in it.

The reviews are saying it's a strong game. Anyone got any reactions yet?

Ironically, I got both Max Payne 3 and LA Noire for my birthday. Both are extremely fun, in my opinion.
Max Payne 3 is nothing like the other Max Paynes. As a straight third-person shooter, it's very fun... so long as you don't consider it Max Payne (think of it like Live Free or Die Hard compared to the first three Die Hards).
LA Noire is fun at solving the mysteries and completely failing certain cases. I do wish I could be a rogue cop and just go around beating up and shooting suspects because they look all shifty.
Good times. =)

How dare you let perfectly ready-to-play games collect dust! Lol. =)

Yeah, you can join my posse but I will have to train you up to be a headshot master.

Just imagine that scene in an action movie or something. A person riding down the street on a BMX with training wheels but with an M60 mounted to the front... Good times. =)

It's good fun, but I hate that stupid blurry effect, the constant split screens and the words popping up for no rhyme or reason in the cut scenes. Way overused.

Ironically, I got both Max Payne 3 and LA Noire for my birthday. Both are extremely fun, in my opinion. I really like both of those games but the one thing I think keeping them from being great is their lack of exploration / linearity. Max Payne 3 is very linear. There are very few routes in between A and B, and when you think you've found one, it's just a dead end or a little secret room with one of those golden guns. I would have liked to have been given a choice of how to approach the situation. L.A. Noire is even worse here. They give you a whole, fully realised city to explore... but there is absolutely nothing to do in it apart from collect more collectibles. There is no major new element to the gameplay or story for you to discover, so why bother building that city in the first place? |

driftin, I felt the exact same way about LA Noire! For a game that was supposed to be revolutionary, there's really very little to do. I just started playing the first Assassin's Creed (I'm always a little late on the big franchises  ) and it looks pretty good so far. Beautiful frikkin's graphics, even better with my newly discovered HDMI cable! |

There is no major new element to the gameplay or story for you to discover, so why bother building that city in the first place? It is linear, but they stuck to one thing and made it good. Now, I don't mind the flashy... stuff too much. It gives you the feel of the effects of 6-7 years of nothing but hard liquor and painkillers on Max's ability to function. The words are also pretty important but it'd work better for a movie as opposed to a game because you know Max will figure out all that info anyway. That is a serious flaw with LA Noire. I wish you could explore and kind of had more choices over what you could do. It'd be great to interrogate witnesses with your gun drawn and be a bad cop like that. It's disappointing that you don't have more choices but I enjoy going through the cases regardless. It's a fun game that I wish had more options. |
