I enjoy both genres very much, but I'm having trouble deciding, Max Payne seems very polished and well done, Dragons Dogma seems to have more bang for your buck. Opinions ?

This is going to sound crazy but if you like both why not go for Dragons Dogma just based on the fact Max Payne will sell just fine, where as Dragons Dogma actually needs support.

I always try to support the games that arent mass appealing, these games, developers & original IPs can only get off the ground if we help them. Im not saying buy something you dont like, im saying if you see a game you know you like its always a good thing to show these games love.

You're actions speak to the publishers. Its says we can make games that arent mindless shooting games & gamers will support them, otherwise if the publishers keep seeing the only thing that keeps selling are sequels & shooters ( max Payne, Call Of Duty, etc ) then the game industry is going to keep digging itself further & further into the grave.

I like to support the unique, different & new. Otherwise the industry will continue down the path of every game being nothing but action games, mindless shooters & rehashed sequels.

I'm a huge fan of Max Payne series, so I would go with that.

Nothing about Dragon's Dogma has been impressive to me.

I'd getDragons Dogma its a better game, Max Payne 3 already came out in 2007 asStranglehold which was sadly a crazer and funner game.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've seen on the forums in a while.........I would say both games are good though. I'm enjoying Dragon's Dogma, and recently finished Max Payne 3. The story and gameplay was addicting for me.

I would personally say Max Payne 3. Great single player campaign, an arcade mode that adds replayability, and a surprisingly addicting multiplayer package.

Dragon's Dogma will last you longer, giving you more time to save money for Max Payne.

Dragons dogma is a flat and bland game easily forgettable . Where as Max Payne 3 is entertaining and high voltage and has a great Multiplayer to kee it fresh and R* already promised 7 DlCs this year !

Sorry to bump an old thread, don't know if OP made a choice, but I owned both DD an Max Payne, and I would say you should absolutely get Dragons Dogma. Assuming you played the game through making zero mistakes and never going off discovering you're looking at over 120 hours of game play. I call it "Elder Scrolls: Capcom Edition". If you enjoy the Elder Scrolls/Fallout games, you'll adore DD. Max Payne is a lot of fun, but doesn't compare to the first one. In fact I'd say even with the outdated graphics, Max Payne 1 is twice as good as Max Payne 3. It's a lot of fun at first, but gets repetitive very quickly, as all you do is shoot enemies. If you want a game similar to Max Payne 3, I'd get Red Dead Redemption. I know it's old now, but I still play that game a lot and I've had it since launch. Max Payne is not at all open ended, where as DD is, and Red Dead as well. Picture Grand Theft Auto in a western setting and you've got Red Dead Redemption. I'd say Max Payne is a 7/10, Red Dead a 10/10 and Dragons Dogma a 9/10 (I'm only in about an hour, still wearing my commoners clothes lol) and already can see DD is a far superior game than Max Payne. It's open ended, there's over a hundred hours game play, the combat is fun, you can literally climb up giant monsters all the way to the head and hack and slash at them like that, where in other similar games (Elder Scrolls 4 Skyrim) you're limited to slashing at their shins, which is silly. I suppose you can sever an artery in the shin and they can bleed out, but that's a stretch of imagination. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim is better than Dragons Dogma, but Dragons Dogma is a great game. If you haven't chosen yet, which I'm guessing you did, I'd get DD. If you went with Max Payne, you'll have fun, but get bored quickly, if you want a great shooting game get Red Dead, made by the same people (Rockstar) so it's got that dark humor, plus the game play and the shooting is fun as hell. Also, if you did get Max Payne, no biggie, it's a good game, but I suggest you get Dragons Dogma as well. As someone said earlier "Get them both if you can" but if you can only get one, DEFINITELY Dragons Dogma. Sorry if this is a late bump or breaking rules, I'm new to this particular forum. I usually post at non specific forums, ie: forums where you can discuss anything. I've only ever posted at GameFAQs forum, but I didn't like it, the people were all very immature. This community seems a lot more intelligent and mature. Anyway, OP, I hope you enjoyed whatever you got. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about DD or Max Payne, or any of the games I mentioned. And thank you for having me in your community here. :)

The multiplayer in Max Payne is not very good. Red Deads multi-player FAR surpasses Max Payne. I've read a bunch of reviews saying that the multi-player in Max Payne shouldn't even be there. Also, DD promises DLC as well. Max Paynes like a 20 hr game max, and thats if you **** up a lot. Dragons Dogma is 120 hrs if you do it all perfectly. Don't listen to this guy, Max Payne 3 is easily forgettable. I sold it less than a week after getting it. Now Max Payne ONE on the other hand is unforgettable. In fact, that's one of the best games ever made, with some of the best story telling in any video game in history. I think Venom confused Max Payne 3 with Max Payne 1 for the PC with the multiplayer mod. Hell, I'll go as far as to say Max Payne 3 kinda sucked.

This is going to sound crazy but if you like both why not go for Dragons Dogma just based on the fact Max Payne will sell just fine, where as Dragons Dogma actually needs support.

Actually I own all the pervious Max Paynes it's a great trilogy of games , of course it's not gonna be like old school max Payne we have Physics and real body movements . I don't really care it's my opinion I love Max Payne 3 R* always makes great single player campaigns which is why I've bought every R* release to date except LA Noire . Still waiting for a ManHunt 3 ;)

Dragon's Dogma was a piece of trash with little to no production values. That game was just bad, unforunately I had to trade it in since I couldn't get a full reufund.

Anyway, Max Payne 3 is fantastic. The single players kinda of short but it's really good, but the multiplayer is where the fun's at. I was surprised at how fun it is.

Both games are awesome. I bought Max Payne when it first came out and I loved it. Great single player and the multiplayer is fun as hell, even if it is a bit unoriginal. Dragons Dogma, I effing love it. I'd rather play a sword and shield medival period game than a shooter anyday. I borrowed it from a friend on Wednesday but my girlfriend and I just had our first child on the 11th so obviously I havent had much time to play but what I have played, I love it, lol. Since I dont have that much money to spend on myself anymore, Im thinking about asking my dad to buy it for me when I see him next lmfao.

Why people must bash others opinion is beyond me..Just because you thought it sucked does not give u the right to bash him on it..Myself enjoyed the game..Was fun all the way through..You dont need to go there and bash the mans thoughts because you hated it..Just give your opinion..Lot of us on here did enjoy the game..Story wise it kept me coming back for more..Just like sleeping dogs did..Although the ending sucked big time it slowed down..Max payne an sleeping dogs both very good games..Id say GO OUT AN BUY It, Judge for yourself if you like it or not..

I enjoyed both games, I didn't get to finish DD though, I got pretty far though and what I played I really had a good time. I did finish Max Payne 3 and it was awesome. Maybe sometime I can get DD again and finish it (bummed out about having to start over though :) ) If I had to choose 1 I'd get DD, like someone previously said, more bang for your buck (way way more) because its extremely long but Max Payne 3 was also incredible, just not anywhere near as long as DD, but you really can't go wrong with either one.
