Is Max Payne (Series - and PC ) the best 3rd Person Shooter?

I think Max Payne as a series is outstanding.

However, I chose the last choice.

Biggest_Loser, your constant Uwe Boll jokes are a terrible attempt at humor, sooooo played.

But you have a unique personality and are a rare breed on this here gamespot site, we have a few too many 13 year old fanboys ranting and raving about this and that.

To summarize, Max Payne = Awesome, Uwe Boll = terrible, Uwe Bool jokes on every thread = extermely terriblle.

Well what can I say? I like to make people laugh and to be unique...ahhh, even if its just for a moment the hilarity can heal the wounds of life...Its a good thing to have....a sense of humour.

Oh yeah thats true! Sorry. I'm still "the kid" (yes like Billy thank you), still learning the ropes. I sometimes do that because I can't wait too long to get a reply. Its the impatience of youth my friend...SS2 is going okay. I stopped playing it. After beating all 3 thief games and Deus Ex 1 + lousy "sequel" it feels a pretty familiar towards them...biggest_loser

Have you seen my specifications ol' man?

1.2 Ghz, 576 RAM, GeforceFX 5700, Windows 2K. lol, I'm waiting for the new year so I can buy a new computer, then I may play Crysis. I have only read a lot about it so far and a lot of people like it..

Crysis is very good! Definitely buy that game - My next one is STALKER. Gotta buy it!

Disregarding Uwe Boll and noting anyone's right to babble whatever they see fit (as long as it's within the rules), it may just be right. The two Max Payne's (playing the second now) rock and it is perhaps the best TPS series going around.

Oh thank you kind sir. You may have saved me from that blasted bridge and carpet....again...

Now lets just hope for MP3 soon. x

On a more serious note, Max Payne is up there as far as third person shooters go on the PC.

There isn't much competition, unfortunately.

Biggest Loser, have you played Mafia? It came out a littlw while after Max Payne, and IMO it was a little better. If you liked max payne, you'd probably like mafia.

what ! you just played deus ex and created no thread about how remarkable it is, very strange !

I finished it ages ago lol. And to the guy above me: Yes i have played Mafia. Its sooo awesome. But i just love MP the most because of its style, the whole brand of Noir. - No other game has attempted that.

Mafia is the best. I loved the Max Payne series, but i thought both of the games were too short.shalashaska88

Mafia...short? My gosh. It wasn't for me on the pc. Now max payne was short. Until I downloaded all the great mods for it, then I kept playing the thing forever. But mafia had too many issues for me to consider it better than max payne. Max payne could almost considered a fps, since it plays exactly like one. And thats exactly how 3rd person shooters should be. Very controllable. Not some clunky mess.

yeah thats ok. Its not the humour part i dont like, its the fact you post slightly useless threads quite often. Example: when you got system shock 2, you made about 7 topics with various questions about the game; some where the same. You could just ask something it the thread you already made.greatmax1

Ahhh everyone has stopped posting on this thread. Do you have any goals for 08 greatmax1?

Men of Gamespot: this thread is dedicated to a very special friend of mine who does not believe that Max Payne is the best 3rd person shooter....yeesh....biggest_loser

Maybe you should play Gears of War to compare it to Max Payne.

Have you seen what computer I currently have? Let me put it this way: I can't even play San Andreas without it restarting all the time. I don't even have XP. One of my main goals, apart from getting my first gf next year lol, is to buy a new computer! Maybe I'll do that in a few days when the stores reopen! Undoubtably you'll hear about both objectives once they are completed...

Max Payne is remarkable, masterpiece, outstanding with a superb story.

But the no.1 game in my opinion always MAFIA. Max Payne, maybe no.2

What do you think makes Mafia better? Its pretty close i know.

I was also surprised that you didn't comment on the fact that your ol' pal the biggest_loser is looking for love lol.

i love GTAs and Mafia and Hitmans, but i think Max Payne takes the crown. they are short, but extremely stylish. i just love the film noir looks of them.prowler666

Yeah me too! Thats exactly what I like about them. I don't think they're quite as short as people say they are, particularly the first one!

Is it just me or is everyone ignoring the fact that the biggest_loser is looking for love? lol. spread the word! Someone must be found for me!

I agree, the Max Payne series is pretty much the best TPS series (that I have played).Planeforger

Yes! At last the numbers are rolling in! I'll be saved from that carpet and bridge and may even have time to get a GF!!

Hey, maybe my opinion on max payne is warped - I beat each one when it was released, but I only had a PS2 :(

At the time those 2 games were realeased, my compurter wasn't half as good as biggest losers. 700Mhz, 128MB ram.... I also had dial-up. So I had to put up with los-res and crappy framerates on PS2. Still had a hell of a time though. I thought the first one was a lot better - that game is a classic.

Gotta love those graphic novels....... Damn I need to pick these games up on the PC!

Just to be sure - you guys have all seen this video, right?
