shadow 6 Posted October 15, 2003 What's so special with Max Payne? It's only a 3rd person shooter with candy and slo-mo A story for those who bother to read it and lots and lots of hype. <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>ALL, I SAY AGAIN : EYECANDY=!GAMEPLAY</span> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Quote[/b] ]What's so special with Max Payne? ah nothing really... just another 3rd person shooter that introduced bullet time, that had nice animations and fast paced movie action feel, dark cold and misterious city environment and an ok plot, nice dramatic music, good graphics, good performance and no bugs that i can remember . Something interesting to relief me from all the tention and fear of playing OPF you see . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Exactly Heatseeker. Max payne certainly stands out in the crowd! (or at least it did in 2001) Never has a game been so stylish and well thought-out (except for that blood maze level ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Maxpayne is/was a really great game. Not all games can be hyper realistic and have LAV's and rouge communist colonels in them. OFP is a great game, but it isn't the only one. And OFP is also a third person action game kinda.... You have the third person view mode and uhm... Sometimes there is action! ALL, I SAY AGAIN : EYECANDY=!GAMEPLAY Not sure with what you meant by that. But if you are saying that MAxpayne didn't have good gameplay I am not sure what to say. And the story was good, felt like I was part of some low budget hollywood reject B-movie. Wich is good. Not to mention all the eye candy. Nothing sweeter than doing a sidejump with bullets soaring at you and then putting down the law on a few two bit punks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted October 15, 2003 If you know OFP-scripting you know what I was thinking "=!" means "not equal to" Unfortunately I wasted money on Max Payne A game with eyecandy, a half-assed story and no gameplay-value (IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 15, 2003 I loved the original Max Payne (except for the dream levels which blew), great graphics, great acerbic humour, great story (to someone like me who loves the whole good cop gone bad due to extreme emotional stress) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted October 16, 2003 Oh yes, the dream levels were awful. And a bit "scary" aswell... Jumped off my chair when I took a wrong turn the first time and heard some werido scream. But one dream sequence had it's strong point (one of the last ones) when Max was talking on the phone with that Valkyre lady. A great game moment for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A great game moment for me i definatly HATED the dream levels, the worst moment of gameplay , it was not fun at all and made me want to stop playing find some savegames or uninstall the game.

EiZei 0 Posted October 16, 2003 Well, the sequel seems much better than the original so far, good physics, beatiful and fast graphics (ran fine on my 1800+/512MB DDR/GF2pro high settings). And those dream sequences are now much less annoying too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And those dream sequences are now much less annoying too. I remember the original had very good graphics and ran very well, cant wait for the 24th for it to come out here in EU. And the game is modable too so i guess some nice custom levels and mods will come out soon . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted October 16, 2003 @ Oct. 16 2003,21:15)]And the first one wasn´t? Yes it was, i remember a good one called "the Dojo" where Max would do some kung fu fighting and Matrix moves, very nice stuff . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, there was no platform jumping and at least I couldnt find any way to get myself killed in the dreams. They are more like cutscenes now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted October 17, 2003 O.K O.K dumb question: Is Max Payne2 out in Europe? I have looked at all (that I know of) the Swedish web retailers but nothing so far! And I am not going to the computer store, too lazy for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I am not going to the computer store, too lazy for that We euros must wait for the 24th , and our american buddies here are problably too adicted to it so they cant review it for us, and that is problably a good sign .

quakergamer 0 Posted October 19, 2003 I heard it's really short, I hate short games I hear the same thing. Peopls that were quite good at max payne 1 can beat the second game in 10 hours. But it's really worth it, right now im at Part 2 Chapter 4 and its awesome!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted October 19, 2003 I heard it's really short, I hate short games Isn't Resistance short? Â 1. Resistance is an expansion. It's not a new game. 2. OFP has a mission editor to allow for user made expansions/mods/missions/campaigns. Does Max Payne 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
