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.

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

    Jermain_49

    Bourrin, oui. Reconnu, non.

    LootAce

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

    Lenoir80

    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.

  3. Geraldine_2001

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

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

    Il fait le travail, sans plus. La mise en scène est appuyée jusqu'à devenir fatigante sur la longueur, et une fois passé l'effet des premières heures il ne reste plus grand chose pour tenir le rythme jusqu'au bout.

    ¿Alguien más siente que este juego se juzga solo por su historia y no por lo bien que se siente disparar?

    Lucy_20

    rejoué y'a pas longtemps et la mise en scène qui fatigue vite selon certains, moi elle passe encore très bien manette en main.

    Loot_Sanchez

    Ma manette a lâché avant le jeu, enfin presque, et pourtant je n'ai jamais eu envie de le relancer une fois fini.
