if the game is 50% SP and 50% MP, then 7 might be right. but for games like Max Payne and Dead Space 2 where the SP is long and MP is tacked on, 8.5 sounds about right!
That is the exact same treatment that I have witnessed towards Starhawk.
With some reviewers it seems that Starhawk has a great multiplayer component, but a good or passable SP campaign, therefore it falls below a 9 and gets 7-8.5.
It is a bit misleading for some gamers. Much like Starhawk, I think gamers should experience Max Payne 3 individually and determine for themselves what makes the game playable and significant.
I wouldn't say the MP in MP3 is tacked on. It actually has a lot of depth and strategy to it with all the different burst, items and attachments.
No multiplayer game ever let you jump off stairs in slow motion, press the 180 degree button and shoot someone running up the stairs.
wait!!! i think 4/10 is to high
2/10 is just fine
and who ever gives the single player 10/10
needs to play something else
There's also a bunch of QTEs and pass or fail moments that make the game feel like it's a decade old.
I've never seen a game with such poor controls given praise.
Let's hope Remedy is allowed to do Max Payne 4. Alan wake is a much better game.
Either you haven't played it (likely) or you're so dimwitted you can't understand the word 'options'. And there aren't any QTEs at all.
And why must we always be assholes on this site. Attack something you love so instead of attacking an opinion, we attack the person giving the opinion. I swear you never run into these assholes at gaming conventions but man I wish I did...
Quick time does not always mean mash a specific button to progress. The part where you're in the hele protecting one of the club skanks by shooting the rifle is in fact a QTE.
No, the heli scene is not a qte, it's a setpiece/on-rails segment.
Of course, there is a chance this was written after a rage quit.
If you do need to switch, have a 2nd loadout with dual handguns to mix it up since you can swap loadouts mid game by hitting pause and changing it for the next time you die.
It gets better as you level up. Don't play against people who are a much higher level than you early on. I made this mistake in my first two games and we got destroyed by a guy with a much more effective weapon and bursts. The stuff you unlock makes you crazy Overpowered when you play against low level newbies.
"The gameplay in the mode was a bit chunky to me", I'd like that statement explained in depth as I haven't a clue what he's on about and I wouldn't say MP3 feels anything like GTA4.
"after a while it gets a little complicated. Max Payne 3 multiplayer absolutely has a learning curve!" So, that isn't a good thing? Am I missing something here?
JFC, I guess the De-Evolution of real gaming has certifiably made its stretch across numerous gaming "outlets" these days.
I assume this reviewer would have quit and put a bullet through his head if he had ever reviewed Ghosts N' Goblins.
2 main complaints:
1. I don't like the hangups like getting caught on the edges of walls when you run around. I guess i'm spoiled by Uncharted. Uncharted put a focus on making the controls feel smooth 100% of the time in both the singleplayer and multiplayer whereas Rockstar puts a focus on realism, innovating with natural motion and bullet reactions. Although the controls are MUCH better than RDRs. You can turn on a much tighter radius, dive and go prone etc
2. The game freezes up occasionally. I don't know what causes it, but it's annoying and it takes quite a bit of time to load into games which makes it frustrating when the game freezes if you're having fun.
Bitching aside, it's a great multiplayer with a lot of depth and customization that will keep you hooked for a long time if you're into 3rd person shooters. They have taken a big step forward from RDR's competitive multiplayer. There is never a shortage of people to play with either so you know it's doing something right.
