First off, you know right away this is a Rockstar game, it plays like Red Dead or GTA with elements of Max Payne sprinkled in. Something just feels off about it, the setting is really generic. Noir elements have been stripped away for a tropical setting. This entry is more actiony and fast paced with the comic style cut scenes replaced with flickering acid trip like scenes that blend into the gameplay, which I wasn't a big fan of. There are some scenes that are on rails and let you play a modern form of duck hunt.
In this game they introduce a cover system you are forced to use more than bullet time if you want to actually complete the game, which is a total failure, though bullet time it's self feels nice when you do get to use it. There is hardly any interactivity with the game world besides pushing buttons to open doors. Clues were an okay edition even though Max or whoever you're with at the time is telling you to hurry up and move on when you're trying to find them.
Some enemies, especially towards the end are bullet sponges and that makes the game have a unrealistic cheap feel to it. I found myself having to blindfire way to much, weapons with lazer sights are annoying to use. At some points the camera blocked my aim reticle.
The story is boring and becomes pointless at a certain point while the first two games had epic, meaningful stories about love, loss and revenge. This game just has no soul and is a poor attempt at a redemption story. They didn't even take the time to use multiple endings like in the last game for the fans that would have preferred more closure to Max's story.
At the end of the day, I don't hate the game, I just can't give it a overwhelming review with the name that's attached to it and the legacy it failed to live up to.
It's beautiful to look at and still holds up to newer titles after 7 years which blows my mind, but that only gets you so far.
Graphics don't change the fact that this game feels like the Great Value version of Max Payne.
Modder ‘alexsavvy’ has released a must-have mod for Max Payne 3 that is a love letter to all fans of the original game.
GF365: "These are our picks for the ten best games to complete 100%. This list includes good games that don't feel like chores to complete."
I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.
Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.
Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.
Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima
Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.
Each one absolutely worth it.
100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!
I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing
Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.
Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
Max Payne 3 is both a game a lot of people love and also one that not enough people appreciate. Remaster time?
I would literally jump and hit the ceiling if they announce a simple remaster of max Payne 3.
If I was doing a list for games to play before you die and had something Max Payne related, it would be the first two games before this one. This had great gameplay and the like but it wasn't very Max Payne like, more like Man on Fire.
