I was surprised the saving is only about $7.50 USD compared to buying them individually…
Not Rockstar Games' finest hour, but a hell of a lot better than LA Snore…
Have you ever played LA Noire?
It's great if you have insomnia
Yep. Put that down after about the same amount of time. Was so disappointed.
Well you're just strange.
How on earth does leaping off ledges and staircases to head shot 7 guys in gratuitous slo-mo, close-ups of their faces exploding, get boring? The enemy killcams alone are some of the most spontaneously exciting moments in a single-player shooter with the exception of capping Germans in Snipe Elite 2.
The level designs are probably a pinnacle in the Max Payne series so far; you have everything from dreary, snowy New York to tropical, Brazilian favelas, sleek skyscrapers, giant yachts, an on-rails boat sequence in the Amazon, etc.
And then there's the difficulty of the game; if you didn't play it on hard or above, you can be somewhat forgiven for thinking it got "boring".
It's actually got a far more compelling storyline than your average DudeBro "save-the-world-from-terrorists" fable that gets peddled to death these days, and the voice-acting and dialogue is top notch.
1 and 2 are awesome… 3 not so much.
The first is undoubtedly revolutionary and most importantly; very long, and it has tons of replay value. The epitome of Remedy Entertainment's game design philosophy.
Max Payne 2 was way too short and featured some patently bizarre, silly and repetitive environments; like that funhouse or those weird dream sequences. It was on the whole, less neo-noir and serious, and more like a linear GTA clone in terms of gameplay and environments.
The third game brings back that adult-themed tragedy about a man battling with mental demons drama of the first, minus the neo-noir trappings and most importantly has a rather believable and sympathetic storyline (far more so than the first).
Played Max Payne 3 for a good 10 hrs. It is the most relentlessly boring AAA game I have ever played. Walk into room…clear it….walk into room….clear it…ad infinitum. Hate to say it, but even Assassins Creed 3 was better.
