Rockstar completely ruined the franchise.Max never used to smoke or drink or even swear.Since Red Dead Redemption,Rockstar have slowly decreased in game quality.Hopefully GTA V will get them back to the top.The finished product was a completely buggy and broken game.They should have never made Max Payne 3.Max Payne 2 finished perfectly.

Your Sleeping Dogs fanboyism seems to have damaged your trolling abilities.

Max smokes in first game(in the very beginning) and admits to drinking alcohol once in a while in comics released by R*. I have to agree with swearing thought.
I've never played RDR myself but it's considered R*'s open world masterpiece.
I think that first and second patch made singleplayer almost completely bug-free. Further patches fixed multiplayer.

Troll harder.

I'm not trolling.Infact,i'm not even getting Sleeping Dogs for a while.I'm all about Assassin's Creed 3.BTW,you should get RDR.

[sublimelabs]

The only thing I can understand is Max swearing, yet if I was in his situation I'd most definitely have a huge potty-mouth.

I went through the single player with only one game freeze, haven't had any more. And like allah_akbar said, these multiplayer patches go a long way. Certainly isn't a "broken game" ... If the game was broken, I wouldn't be able to play and enjoy it.

And RDR is spectacular. Ever since RDR and MP3, I've never been more happier to have Rockstar around this generation and for years to come.

[allah_akbar]

I know I should, but I can't afford a console.

Anyway, not to go completely offtopic, Cementery map finally works.

QUOTE (Money Over Bullsh*t @ Thursday, Aug 9 2012, 06:54) I posted this on Payne Forums to get people's thoughts but I didn't get much of a response so I'm gonna post it here to see what people think. I noticed this new artwork for the Disorganized Crime Pack in the DLC section of the official website. It appears to feature two new weapons - a Beretta M92 inox (although it is likely just a new skin for the PT92) and another unidentified gun (it could just be a modified AK-47 though I'm not sure). It's also worth noting that the clothes on the two guys are new and one appears to be a black guy meaning that they're not DeMarcos or Punchinellos.. possibly a new faction of Jersey thugs? On the other hand maybe both of the guys are white and one guy just looks black.. in which case they could be Russian Mafia, that would be cool  Those guys look more Puerto Rican/Hispanic than black or white to me. The gun that dead guy is holding definitely looks like an AK without a stock.

Looking at it at that angle I think you're right.. it appears to just be a stockless AK 47 like I thought. Although if there is a reskin for the PT92 that would be cool. I think the all black finish is a bit too bland and the gold is played out.

[GTA-Bobski]

I finally got the Store working and bought everything except the Pill Bottle item and the Max classic skin.



The pig mask replaces the gorilla mask in the new SPP faction, lol

I like the M4 and the G9 launcher but the Hammerhead shotgun sucks balls. So far I only played Paynekiller on the downsized Police HQ map but it's not a really good map for it. Half the time you're looking for targets with all those deadends and hallways.

And the Local Justice Pack is quite big, about 810MB.

I hope more pc players buy it although I'm affraid they won't since only 2 people on my friendlist have it

[Barry Spock]

The maxpayne forums are as dead as a doornail. It could be because people are having login probs like I did for a while.

I like all the three new weapons in the SE update, but there's no grinds for them so I don't use them much (apart from the molotov). I don't know how the devs at R* don't have something like that sorted out.
Same with team balancing. In gangwars, on PSN freeaim it's beyond a joke. It's a pretty small pool of people so I see the same names each day. It's pretty disappointing seeing people with really high rank chimping out because they're on the weaker team = they quit then rejoin, hoping to be on the other team.
I actually blew my cool yesterday in hardcore because some tw*t kept quitting and rejoining, but always went back onto our team. I shot him in the back.
With a small pool of people like I mentioned, the concept of R*'s of having crews all on one side isn't working. That's what is unbalancing sides. And I might add that the GUN5 (gaming under the influence) players are a raging pack of pussies.

Sorry for the rant. It's not gonna be hard for me to put MP down when sleeping dogs drops.

I was wondering about that.. I just figured it was something that was meant to be in there but got dropped and they forgot to take out the loading screner text. Nice to know that they have been implemented and that completing them rewards you with new titles.

[fullmetal]

Really dig the M4 and the new DLC. Hope more of this goodness will come our way (got me into playing MP3 again).

Shamefully barely anyone plays this or I can't seem to get into decent lobbies (f*cking goddamn lobby systems on a PC game... R* still has something to learn concerning that). Hardcore people, more XP and more of a challenge. Instead of sitting around cowering in fear with one shot sniper rifles and spotting people across the map.

[Greasepalms]

shame seeing 400 + ppl on soft-aim tdm and barely 100 on free-aim.
I have nothing against people wanting aim assist but this split lobby junk has to go.

Is that using real money or just in-game stuff?

[GTA-Bobski]

Real money. They made it pretty easy with the ingame store, all you need is a cc. You press the Home key and get this screen:


click for fullscreen

Fill in the info + cc and the download starts.

To bad the pc DLC is giving me more rage so far then joy

I can't play with the Mona Sax skin because if I do...



And the lobbies aren't full anymore, even the old maps have only 8 or 10 players in them if I'm lucky. Usually those are low ranked players too and I'm rank 50. So I just left a GW where I was running around with the rotary grenade launcher+multitool+heavy armor and the others had a crap loadout. It felt so unfair I left after round 3 with a k/d ratio of 15:1. And I'm really not that good

I can't help to think we pc players are just labrats for Rockstar and they use MP3 as a live test ground for GTA V.

[Barry Spock]

I dig that pigmask. That's the first I'd seen of it but I tried it out straight away. It's a bit of a shame the story character avatars, like desilva don't appear with those items even if you load them.

The Payne threshold things should be good. I should send an email suggesting that the add custom titles, or something, rewarding people who put in the effort to do the MP grinds. I'm planning my way through getting all or most of the weapon grinds completed.
Maybe it's just sour grapes and my mediocre skillz but when I getting repeatedly owned by players with dual M10s (and I'm struggling with the M4 super, or SPAS) I always think to myself that they've been using those same weapons from the start and haven't tried grinding anything else.

Interestingly, the 608 Bull was the first gun I finished both grinds for. I hope they add some more handguns, like the baretta as was mentioned above.

any tips for new york minute chapter 14? where are painkillers?

I'm usually a free aimer, but the soft lock helped me a lot. I actually shoot dodge and deliver headshots, not many Payne Killers needed that way.
But there are plenty...in the bathroom, in the terminal (both up and down floor), in the train,...close to the ammo crates while fighting Becker...

If you don't already do it: try to deliver headshots while shoot dodging.

Tell me about it, i was playing hardcore gang wars on free aim yesterday against a whole crew of 5+ people(the crew name was DROP i think)

Anyways we were so few players that one dude from that crew went to our team, but the f*cking asshole kept f*cking killing me with his sniper rifle like two or three times so i snapped and killed him twice as well, he kept killing me but atleast i showed him that i wasn't gonna let that slide.

And yeah i know how you feel about seeing the same players every time.

Yeah that's the best tactic. There are loads of painkillers in that level once you get out of the area with the conveyer belt. There's one behind the guy you get the first bullet cam on, one in an office on the left where you start off in the next section, one in the bathroom a little bit down the corridor to the right, two in the next bathroom (end of the hall) which leads to the departure lounge (which can be retaken after the cutscene 9although in NYM you might waste time getting them), one behind the first check-in desk on the left (beside the divider), one up the first flight of stairs in a cabinate on the right, two behind the next check in desk, one behind a display cabinate in the next section, another one in the control room with the sniper, I think two in the first train and another three in the train that Max jumps into near the end.

In my last two runs (Old School and Hardcore, using free-aim) I've consistently had about 6-9 painkillers throughout that entire chapter and both times I had 9 going into the final battle. I haven't played NYM yet so I don't know how easy it is to collect and conserve painkillers but there should be more than enough.

[The Wereodile]

I've been getting back into this game's multiplayer in the past couple of days, and I was disappointed when I saw that a lot of the shoddy matchmaking and general wonkiness of the multiplayer hasn't been fixed. That said, when everything works like it's supposed to, it's a blast. Like last night, I Bullet-Time shoot-dodged over an enemy RPG, killing the guy and the RPG exploding gloriously behind me, leaving me unscathed. Stuff like that gets my blood pumping.

am I the only knob that doesn't like free-aim on the PS3? I can never get the controls just right. It's kinda like patting your head and rubbing your tummy all while getting shot at. All the moving aiming looking...ahh just cant get it right with the controls. Auto assist is hard enough for me.

That being said I've almost worked up to level 50. Looking forward to whatever the legend status does...



Not saying that I can't free aim, did it all the time with the frist Max Payne on the computer. Mouse and keyboard works a lot better for first/third person shooters. The PS controller never really did it for me. :clumsy thumbs:
