About Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. A new feature to the series, introduced in Max Payne 3, is the cover system, which allows players to gain a tactical advantage, and avoid taking damage from enemies. To progress through the linear story, players take on enemies throughout levels. The game features interactive cutscenes which transition seamlessly into continuing gameplay; there are no loading screens across gameplay and cutscenes.

    I keep coming back to defend this one every time it shows up in a duel and honestly I'm tired of repeating myself, but here we are again. It's still one of the tightest shooters I've played and that hasn't changed no matter how many times it loses ground to newer stuff.

    Qui d'autre y rejoue en boucle depuis dix ans ?

    Am I the only one who thinks this deserves way more respect than 142nd?

    Bourrin, oui. Reconnu, non.

    Puede que tengas razón en lo del reconocimiento, aunque a mí me cuesta verlo tan alto cuando lo pienso con calma.

    142e c'est déjà pas mal.

    Susan_82

    Je suis d'accord, la place ne reflète pas ce qu'il propose, surtout sur la précision des affrontements qui reste rare dans le genre.

    Mon fils préfère largement Tomb Raider

    Still holds up better than most shooters from the same era, easily

    frente a last of us este va directo al grano, sin tanta pausa emocional, a mi parecer gana en ritmo aunque pierda en historia

    Comparado con Uncharted, este juego tiene un tono mucho más duro y personal, aunque el mundo se siente más cerrado y menos variado en su recorrido.

    Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà vu un système de tir aussi précis rester aussi peu reconnu ?

    This duel keeps popping up and honestly the shooting alone beats most of what The Last of Us offers in that department
