/begin obvious joke

This is bullshit, I paid full price for this game 10 years ago, and now it is free to play. UGGGGG!! DAMN YOU EPIC STORE!!

/end obvious joke

That's not what people complain about, but you do you if that tickles your fancy boat.

Riahderymnmaddog is the prince of hyperbole and biting satire so much so that the Poe's Law wiki actually references him.
But it's still funny when he trips up a forum regular.

It plays in Berlin.. so as a German living in Berlin I obviously had to....

It's an OK game. I would call it a psychological MAJOR walking simulator with MINOR platforming.

Point is: It's a walking simulator. You are not swimming around a ton at all, most of the time is walking on the roofs, and that's where platforming comes in. Monsters can't really impede you, they set you back, but no game-over possible anywhere. (hence walking simulator)

Is it fun? Ehm... no. I actually truly and utterly hate the gameplay they done here. It's the old problem of implementing a mechanic (think Talos Principle) and then going all 600 yards all in with it until it becomes mind-numbing stupidly boring. And also, the game is BARELY 3 hours long.

I played Unavowed instead, an amazing oldschool point and click, and was more enthralled by that than by this flashy showing. But YMMV

You would never know it was Max Payne without the same guy doing the voice over.
As noted above...Alan Wake had way more Max Payne feel than Max Payne 3 did.

Y'all are delusional.
Apparently Max Payne "feel" isn't noir, existentialism, hard-boiled stories, narration, bullet-time, or even Max Payne himself...
No it's the in-game TV screens with reoccurring Remedy jokes, and if it doesn't have that it isn't even recognizable as Max Payne.

Max Payne 3 was not a better game overall than 1 and 2. It had none of the interesting noir feeling or any of the weird existential nods that the first 2 were built on.

Yeah it did.

Uh where?

Captain Baseball bat boy? Lords and Ladies? Dick Justice? Address Unknown?

Not to mention that it completely ignored the ending of Max Payne 2. "I had a dream of my wife. She was dead. But it was alright."

In what way was any of that reflected in Max Payne 3?

So I loved Heavy Rain, but I never played this one, should I get it? Anyone actually play it?

Also, this release cadence makes me think that Detroit's release has to be right around the corner. Most hyped for that.

You do see that we have racist marches in the streets these days, once again, right?

That people have gone to Black churches to shoot them simply because they're black, right?

That white dudes in Tiki torches are marching down streets shouting racist things in order to protect Confederate monuments built during the Jim Crow era specifically to remind Black people where their places are (and that doing anything to these statues is widely decried, even by our President, as "erasing history.")

That Steve King is still in office, to say nothing of so many others that you'd probably say "aren't racist, just realists."

That simply making a video game or movie with a non-white or non-male lead is now called "political" and results in review bombing.

And you're positive that it's not you that's overblowing it?

Edit: well I read the RPS article now..
you're definitely overblowing it

Also, the earlier comment said the RPS review made him not want to play it for gameplay reasons (so the RPS reivew was useful to him) he specifically avoided the "social protest" stuff... that was you who brought that in.

You're the one that brought this up by the way... and you're talking about some RPS article I haven't seen and isn't linked here.

In comment #2 RPS' political view was mentioned.

I was kinda looking forward to this but the review on Rock Paper Shotgun made me delete it off my wishlist completely. And not for the social protest reasons, just for the gameplay.

Another nonsensical post from our resident racism denier.

Where am I denying racism?

Do you really think the KKK is depleted?
2 members per state?

Give or take?

Look, it doesn't matter. Show me the numbers that warrant this anti-racist lecture for all of us. Convince me that this is necessary. I'm always open.

Convince you that racists exist in significant numbers and are bad?
I'm not sure how I can help you with that.

You're the one that brought this up by the way... and you're talking about some RPS article I haven't seen and isn't linked here.
But this is kind of like your thing right? You spend a lot of time thinking and writing about how overblown this all is.

Do know that I consider when a black person saying shit about whites that would be racist if it was the other way around, racist.

Last time we had a conversation along these lines I characterized this as your position and you corrected me and said that it wasn't... now it is again?

"Change "white" to "black" and understand where I'm coming from. We do not want to go there. It is counter-productive. It's a clear case where "fighting fire with fire" is a bad idea. It's inciting a fucking race war, by making it about race.

The moment you use my skin color as something that is bad, I have a problem with you. That's not white tears. That's a reasonable person saying fuck you to people with racist ideas." - Myself in that discussion you're referring to. I always thought that's a problem and I never claimed otherwise.

Oh I know those quotes, I made a big ol' list of them, remember? It was after that that you said you weren't relying on the "swap" strategy (even though I knew you were based on your own words).
