Rockstar decided to go with a realistic weapon holding approach so in cutscenes where you need to grab a chain, open a door, hold someones hand you go back to a single handed weapon... same reason you drop your 2 handed if you decide to go akimbo. I'm perfectly fine dropping the rifle to go akimbo. However, I don't need to pull a pistol out to open a door, and once I open said door, I don't need to keep my pistol out. I'm perfectly fine in real life with holding a rifle and manipulating something with my other and. I don't need to draw another weapon. And really, even if that happened, at least switch me up as I slow-motion back in control of Max. Another minor gripe: I can never tell when the fcking cut scenes end. They usually dump you, ten feet from cover, in front of half a dozen guys already* shooting at you, before you gain mouse control. One death actually happened at the end of a cutscene before I had control of the mouse. I mean yeah I was practically dead, but apparently there's a delay between "cutscene" and "you have control over Max". It's just... little sht like that. Enemies don't have nearly the shot spread that I have, so they're surgeons with their guns, they spawn on you in the cheesiest situations, and I think I've had full bullet time maybe twice in the game (aside from when the game auto-fills your bullet time) because it builds so slow. I'm not done yet, and maybe I'll change my mind before the end, but I'll give it a solid 8/10 as a third person shooter, it's brutal and a lot* of fun when you're in the groove, but as a max payne sequel, it's like a 4/10. Remedy fixed a lot of the problems with MP in MP2, and Rockstar has reintroduced some of those back into MP3 for reasons I don't get.
