As promised, here are a bunch of videos of Max Payne 3 captured with a retail version of the game. Though the tiny crosshair does not always make it easy to aim (more than once we found ourselves looking for it on the screen), playing this third installment in the franchise is a lot of fun. Max is still Max, which means he comes with some serious baggage and he kills a lot of bad guys. There is a slight change in terms of atmosphere but the story is as dark as ever. A very good action game in the end, but we were surprised to see so many cutscenes, as we're not sure the hardcore fans will enjoy having to sit and watch quite regularly, instead of simply playing.

Will wait for PC version if aiming's fixed.
LOL, i disagree.
I guess I'll find out in a few days where I fall on the spectrum but, when something is a selective taste, more often than not I end up loving it.
Typically on games like this, I enjoy them much more with the difficulty cranked up, and using only free aim (all the aim assists turned off). This made GTA IV infinitely more enjoyable for me. I quickly found that doing this in MP3 makes the game nearly unplayable due to the difficulty. I like hard games, but it's like the game was designed to be played with all the assists on easy difficulty, and everything was cranked WAY up from there. Unfortunately, the only way for me to avoid controller breaking frustration was to play it on medium with a few of the assists on.
Or you could choose to be grateful and undertanding because we are actually taking the time to capture so many videos so they can be released on time, which also means sometimes we don't have that much time to practise, let alone, retry until the seuqences we show are played fantastically well. Now I should also remind that none of us is getting paid for what we are doing for you guys so don't bother telling me it's our job.
Can't comment on the game, looks good but I will only play it later on this year. New house, new car, same old wife :) Life is good.
