Max Payne 3: A Payne In The ****

Maul Squad: I’ll be the first to admit that Max Payne and I didn’t get on in the beginning. I found him chunky, overbearing and very slow. I knew it was going to be an amazing game but the controls and mechanics were holding me back, I just couldn’t get in to it and after the 2nd chapter it was placed into my stack of games that still need to be completed. It wasn’t until I started playing it again that I understood why Max Payne 3 controls how it does and I decided to stick with the fat, drugged up alcoholic.

It was never reduced to a cover based shooter. You either played it like that because you couldn't cut a pure bullet time approach or you were too entrenched in this gen's cover system to play it any other way.

I've beaten the game on every difficulty and both NY Minute runs only using cover on a handful of occasions when it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise it plays EXACTLY like the old MP's and your criticism is moot.

It's easily one my top 5 games this gen because of its refusal to play into the trends of the modern TPS.

Completely agree. I thought the game was terrific and it also ranks high for me. Fun gameplay, beautiful and great soundtrack.

cyguration3940d ago

Spot on.

People criticizing Max Payne 3's gameplay are just way out in left field or were too used to hand-holdy games that nearly ruined gaming this gen.

...A Payne in the hell? A Payne in the S***? A Payne in the f***?

Ass is 3 letters, brah.

Max Payne 3 is awesome. Im done with it now having got the platinum trophy but it is just another testament as to how RockStar creates games the way the want with their vision and make a great game. FYI the gun mechanics like the weapon select controls and feel is the way GTAV will be.

MadLad3940d ago

Favorite in the series, personally.
Sure. Not everything screams the style that the originals took, but it still felt a lot like Max Payne to me and it had possibly the best TPS combat I've experienced . . . ever.
Writing was fantastic as well.

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 332d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama332d ago

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

Tacoboto332d ago

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.

Aloymetal332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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!

Demetrius332d ago

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

ClayRules2012332d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda332d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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 .
