Max Payne 3 Message Board  

your right about the cutscenes, the movies folder is 8.05 GB! thats more than most games install all together

So far it's just as I expected - cinematic and depressing. Only played the first 30 minutes, and the majority of that was cut scenes.

The majority of the game is a cutscene.

It's a big like a westernised Metal Gear Solid.

I didn't really mind the cutscenes, I enjoy hearing Max's depressing inner monologue, but the game does tend to take control away from you far too often.

Rockstar designed the game intelligently -- Being able to play through the entire game without seeing a single load screen is cool, but i'm up to my second play through now and the cutscenes are annoying... Mostly because if you try to skip them it gives you a "STILL LOADING..." message on to bottom right of the screen.

So then you're left there, pressing the enter button every few seconds hoping that it'll eventually let you skip the cutscene.

I had the same issue with replaying LA Noire -- Except every single cutscene in that entire game cannot be skipped.

It is one huge cutscene.....geesh. I should have known...(Rockstar Epic Glossy Games).

Seems like they wanted to make a movie instead of a game. I agree that the SP was nothing more than one long cutscene broken up by wild tangents of action game play that got repetitive as the game progressed. I got to the place where I was almost hoping to just not have to play the game and just watch the "movie" play on.

Question - Do we not get to kill that one Italian boss who's son got waxed by max in the bar and kept sending mafia members after max and passos? Are they planning on adding to that part of the story in a later DLC? I can't wait. I like max in NY more than in the tropics.

There is a clue about that on the cruise ship level.

i miss those comics scenes like in Max Payne 1 or 2. I miss Mona, in fact i'm kinda angry coz she survived previous part.

I wish in MP3 Max is not mentioning without a little word about characters he met etc. Nothing about Mona....

(Mona Sax 💛 )

She is in MP3 in a flashback and in Multiplayer.
