Max Payne 3: Too many changes?

I totally agree with you, the max payne series is awesome because how the story is told. Max Payne needs to be gritty, a lot of rain and throw in a trench coat or its just not Max Payne

-I dislike it not being a dark noire.
The first two were already dark noire.

-Multiplayer is not needed for Max Payne games
Then stick to single player.

i cant wait for max payne3CTR360

I'm super pumped up for it too.

Ok this is max payne after what happened in the first 2 games he is a man down and out.Rockstar can do the game justice look at rdr,la noire,etc...As far as the mp goes i say bring it the same could have been said bout uncharted but naughty dog took a chance and the mp did not feel taked on like yeah here is some mp ok well we tried the mp side no they actually made it feel as epic as the sp in that game and i think rockstar can do the same with max payne give them a chance

Rockstar has never let me down before. I have faith in it depite the major changes.

If it's not dark, film noire, graphic novel type stuff I'm not gonna mess with this game...Change is cool but this is too much...Toriko42

Sounds like most of you didn't play it. It is dark. It does have a great story that is very possible. He has hair 50% of the time if not more. it has comic book type clips. Cover system is what is exspected of any new game. He is in New Jersey not New York, some of the game. Max Payne fan here...thought is was great. plus it is a little harder then most games you can breaze through. Haven't done any multy player, just single on hard with no aim assist

Half these people are probably little youngin who never even played Max Payne and only Watched the Crap Mark Walberg Movie . Max Payne 3 is a Great Game and Great addition to the Series . Gritty Story , Great Character Development , Watching Max's life Spin more and more out of control ,this is truely a amazing game .

I just went around the web searching for new info to Max Payne 3. I went to this site: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/gallery/view/26/109497/214.12

I found that really cool image and it made me get excited for Max Payne 3 because that is how Max Payne SHOULD look like. He shouldn't be bald, shirtless, and bearded. So there must be some part of the game where you play as the REAL max payne (not the one that is bald).

I am admitting that I really do not like the new direction of Max Payne for the obvious reasons:
-I dislike it not being a dark noire. still a good game

-I don't like the new appearance of Max Payne i am half way through. and you do play has one with hair ect but for sopme reason i cant remember lol he cuts it off.
-I don't care for the cover system. really is fun
-Multiplayer is not needed for Max Payne games. who cares what game it is, MP is nice featuer for any game. their is still a good SP like the others
-And, I don't know if Rockstar can tell a story like Sam Lake did. i can't remember how everything went down because it's been long time. But rockstar produced a good story so far

I post this because there are many fans that do not appreciate what is going on with the direction of the Max Payne series. I have played through the first two Max Paynes multiple times and I enjoyed them a lot. The game was unique because of its' noire setting with the comic strips for a story. It had the best slo-mo bullet time at the moment it was released, and the story was great.

Max was never a chizled guy. He didn't have muscles with a bald head. I don't really care for the story in Brazil or wherever he is. My question is this: what was wrong about the new york city atmosphere? What was wrong with the dark settings? The crime fighting and drug lords? I mean seriously, it doesn't even feel like a Max Payne game. Let me say that again, it doesn't feel or look like a max payne game.

I am not saying I am boycotting it. I will play it because I believe that is the best way to have a say in something. I just am very disappointed with the new direction the series is going in. You don't need a cover system or anything, this isn't gears of war. You don't need multiplayer because Max Payne was about the story, not the multiplayer action like halo and COD are famous for.

Any comments or opinions on the direction of Max Payne 3? I would love to have a good discussion about it. Thank you.

you do have to remember it's a game that hasn't been in production for some years picked up by other publisher from other team, and times has change.

Somehow Rockstar managed to bring Max Payne into 2012 and keep the gritty, hard-boiled cop feeling of the first two. I would even go so far as to say, they paint a fuller, more fleshed out version of Max that the previous two didn't have.

In MP1 and 2, he is a mere caricature, a cartoon character written in the film noir stereotype. Max Payne 3 ups the ante with a darker, more mature treatment of its story. It doesn't rely solely on the cosmetic trappings of "noir". The setting of much of the game in Sao Paulo while keeping the themes of depression, betrayal, and corruption even more present than ever in the series.... that's a testament to the quality of the writing and the pacing.

Personally, Max Payne 3 is shaping up to be one of my favorite stories this generation.

Too many changes? I welcome what Max Payne has turned into.

I'm really enjoying Max Payne 3 its my fav shooter of 2012.

Can't wait to get this.
