ZePhyR Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I played it all the way through on 1024x768x32or16 to test my video card, and I never had any problems with it. That was a fun game. It took me about 15 hours to get all the way through, and I think it was well worth it. The end was really nice. I hope JKO is as engaging.

CaptainPOE Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Ahhhh. After reading this I almost want to start Max Payne up again, the only thing is really stopping me is those darned drugged up dream sequnces with the jumping and mazes Yea, I hope JO is at least just as good as Max Payne. Now I just hope it is MUCH longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 ergh... that crying baby made me want to rip my hair out. i wanted so badl to turn down my sound. unfortunetely you had to listen to the sound to get the level done quickly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broode Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I actually quite enjoyed the dream sequences... Exept for the crying baby blood maze of course. If they had removed the puzzles from them it would be a nice insight into Max's persona as he goes slowly insane... I found it interesting how events that had happened since the start of his killing spree started working its way into his memory... Made me wonder if his family was actually murdered. I would have to say the low point of the game would be Max's voice acting in one particular scene... When he finds his wife dead on the bed. "Nooooooooooooooooo." *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I may play through Max Payne again when I get my R8500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwing guy Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I love Max Payne, I gotta borrow the CD from my friend again and install it then download the CD crack for it again. The story for the game is awesome, especially the first and second time you play through it, the story almost seems real to me. For those of you who want a quick way through the dream levels just go to gamespot and bring up the guide and then start up Max Payne, and hold down tab and press Alt and it'll put Max Payne down in the taskbar and pause it and then you can read the guide to figure out where you're supposed to go next, then click on Max Payne down in the bar to bring it back up and start playing again, I use this a lot only thing about it is you kinda have to memorize the directions the guide gives you then press Tab and Alt to read some more in the guide to know where you go next.

KordKelly Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Or... You could do what I did and copy and paste the directions into Notepad, then print them out;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoowl Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Great game with a fantastic story. The replay value isn't that high though as the story is so important and once you played it through once, you what happens. That said, i played it though twice anyway! I like the fact that the end bit isn't just like a last boss that you have to shoot a million times, destroying the helicopter by knocking down the metal thing is a lot more cinematic and very satisfying.

Rogue15 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 that game is too violent for my tastes...good plot/story tho i guess. only played the demo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I might buy this for PS2, but the only game I'm playing for PS2 is Grand Theft Auto 3, and I haven't really been playing that for a few months now... the only thing that prevents me from buying it for PC is no multiplayer, so once I beat it, it will be gathering dust doing nothing.

OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Max Payne was great. I considered replaying it about two weeks ago, but I decided on Deus Ex on realistic mode. And I have to agree that the dream levels were terrible. Just flat-out annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3 will have up to sixteen peeps you can play against in multi-player for the PC, I believe. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorpheus Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Max Payne was too repetitive, linear and boring for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Originally posted by Amorpheus Max Payne was too repetitive, linear and boring for me. That's what Jedi Knight was for me. Max Payne was fun, I need to play it again. Someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xwing guy Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 If you play Max Payne on the harder diffuculty settings that keeps it fun. I've played through figutive, hard boiled, and started on dead on arrival difficultly but never finished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorpheus Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Originally posted by OnlyOneCanoli I can see how it could be repetetive and linear to some people (it wasn't to me), but boring?! Yes. It's most simple kill-kill-kill action with bullet-time (got old fast) thrown in - think about it, you slow down time to a crawl a lot and the game is still short. Everyone you meet dies, too. I heard you kill about 700 people in the game... for having a realistic setting this simply put blows. You never, ever meet a non-hostile person in the whole game, even the junkies have guns.

You're given only a limited time to clear each level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I had consumed way too much caffiene one fine evening when I was home along, so I finished max payne on all 4 levels of difficulty. I must say, once you've done it 2 or 3 times through, even the hardest modes arent really difficult at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Loved Max Payne, but I only played through it once. It kept crashing on my system, but after I formatted a few days ago, everything seems fine. And I'm running with the exact same drivers and configuration as before. Weird...

Lord_FinnSon Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 You never, ever meet a non-hostile person in the whole game, even the junkies have guns. Have you forgot the guard in a subway level, who you save from villain in locker room and who then opens up the locked keycode door for you only to get shot down? Then there is one bum, who you need to get gangsters open the door(John Woo -joke) and when they finally do so, he warns them and runs in... I don't remember that every junkie in the game had a gun though, but then again, I didn't threaten them all the time. Overally you are of course right: game would have needed much more NPCs and interaction with them, even though Max travelled mostly through locations that weren't exactly friendly neighborhoods.
