Why Max Payne 3 Doesn't Feel Like Max Payne

Gamespy:

Despite all the bullet-time diving, dual wielding, and Mickey Spillane dialogue, Max Payne 3 just didn't feel like Max Payne to me. I blame Quentin Tarantino. He certainly wasn't the first to spin a fantastic yarn through a disjointed, non-linear narrative, but he made it a trend-setting signature with Pulp Fiction. Since then, we've seen it in everything from Lost to Tribes: Vengeance, and even the original Max Paynes -- with mixed results. It doesn't work for me this time around, and if I could change one thing about Max Payne 3, it would be to put the story in chronological order.

***Note: Spoilers galore***

Agreed it feels like a MGS 4 too many cut scenes (can't be skipped) On a game like MGS its ok but not Max payne , also it threw away the Noire theme which is what max payne is

SPAM-FRITTER-1235080d ago

1 reason.

NO Remedy.....thats a fact.

dead_eye5080d ago

Seemed like the same Max Payne to me. Only looking and playing sweeter.

pandehz5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

To me max payne was Neo noir more than traditional film noir.

The crazy cardboard cutout sequence, the dream scene, his wife sequence in the house with dramatic lighting,etc.
Max Payne to me was a dose of alcohol when soda was popular.
Totally intoxicating.

This one is a modern cocktail of the two. Enjoyable in a confused time in a confusing gaming year of the decade.

Well it's certainly a big departure, presentation/style wise, from the past games. But, I for one really enjoyed the ride from beginning to end.

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

Miraak82 1062d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama1061d 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.

badz1491062d ago (Edited 1062d ago )

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

Tacoboto1061d 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.

Aloymetal1061d ago (Edited 1061d 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!

Demetrius1061d 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

ClayRules20121061d ago

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

Elda1061d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom21061d ago (Edited 1061d 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 .
