Revisiting Max Payne 3

Dane Townsend of GameGrin looks back at Max Payne 3, writing: "Max Payne 3, like many pieces of art on the latter end of a trilogy, is a divisive game. Whilst well received by critics and third person shooter players as a whole, many long time fans of the series were unhappy with the new direction that Rockstar took the titular character. Some felt the story was off-kilter and overly depressive when compared to the original Max Payne and its slightly tongue in cheek but still incredibly competent storyline. Others were displeased with the added cover based mechanics and more sluggish gameplay."

I really am shocked we never got a remaster of this game

RaidenBlack2106d ago

Exactly! Why this game didn't get a Remaster treatment is beyond me.
Visually it's stunning. The gun-play was FPS-like smooth. The attention to detail was staggering.
Instead we're getting GTA 5 for PS5? lol, wut? Again?

Sciurus_vulgaris2106d ago

I still think Max Payne 3 is the most violent game I have ever played. A remastered Max Payne 3 with RDR 2 gore & blood tech would be stunning.

mkis0072105d ago (Edited 2105d ago )

TLoU2 has them beat. But Max payne 3 bullet hit effects were really addicting. And the gore is satisfying in RDR2, just TLoU2 takes it to another level with blood spatter and audio.

KyRo2105d ago

I'm really surprised you've been downvoted. It's not discredit to Max Payne 3. The gore was done well for the time and still looks great but the facial animations on NPCs dying, the blood spurts, the staining of clothes as you slit their throat, the gasping for air as you shoot someone's lungs, the flesh being ripped away as you die by a dog or clicker in The Last of Us 2 are a cut above because of the detail in death.

mkis0072105d ago

Id put up any evidence as proof that Tlou 2 is the most realistic violent game ever.

-Foxtrot2106d ago

Good solid game

Shit Max Payne game

Just didn't feel like it at all, it's like Rockstar were doing a new IP set in Brazil, got told they had the rights to Max Payne and just reworked it around that. I mean they even went off the Max Payne 2 ending where Mona died.

The flashback levels were the best part of the game.

lociefer2106d ago

Exactly how i felt about it, it really had nothing to do with max payne. Looked like a gta dlc

mkis0072102d ago

I just saw this...so damn right! It was max payne in name, and the fact it had bullet time, only. I missed the graphic novel cutscenes the most.

-Foxtrot2101d ago (Edited 2101d ago )

Oh god yeah how could I forget the graphic novel cutscenes

It’s everything that made Max Payne special was gone in this

MadLad2106d ago

One of the best 3rd person shooters, even if it didn't really feel like it caught the tone of the original games.

DrDeath2105d ago

It was really good. Sometimes tough. I enjoyed jt

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

Miraak82 1035d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama1035d 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.

badz1491035d ago (Edited 1035d 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

Tacoboto1035d 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.

Aloymetal1035d ago (Edited 1035d 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!

Demetrius1035d 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

ClayRules20121035d ago

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

Elda1035d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom21035d ago (Edited 1035d 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 .
