Forum Overview :: Max Payne 3

I thought Stranglehold was pretty good personally. by Worm 12/12/2013, 10:07pm PST It suffered from having no coherent rating system and trying to ease back from the focus on shooting lots and lots of guys. It's rating system was a step beyond a boring GoW kill counter, but just giving me nebulous ranking stars isn't really motivating a simple medal or color grade would have done a lot. It makes me wonder how enjoyable DMC would have played with some stupid kill counter. The other issue is that the game had way too many side missions collect the bombs, plant the bombs, blow up the drug labs. One mission even has a horribly out of place mounted gun segment. Everything is trying to distract you from slightly more stylized Max Payne action. It's only other crime was being too environmental damage oriented.
