No Hype

There is practically non-existant hype for this game. No real good marketing either. It's pretty sad. I don't think Max Payne 3 is gonna sale very well. Looks like it might be the more underrated game in all of Rockstar's releases. Even BULLY was more hyped that this.

Thing is... is they just had their huge Red Dead Redemption release only 2 years ago, which featured cool trailers with the narrator kinda spelling everything out and giving you a cool teaser taste into the features of the game. Max Payne 3 tried to do the same thing, but it was like they were pushing features that.... have been seen before. I mean making a big deal about how the character moves fluidly... big deal right? And then they try and kinda push the cinematics, but.. we've seen cinematics..

It felt like they didn't have much to present to the consumers 'presentation' wise.. so this is why people are skeptical. I've found no LEAKED footage for the game either, and like.. EVERY ROCKSTAR GAME is almost 'infamous' for being hyped and leaked and people going insane over their games.... Max Payne....... not so much. :( It stinks, because I kinda was hoping it would do well, than just 'average'.

[QUOTE="niptuck117"]Give me a moment as I dissect this: 1.) What 'cool tastes' were you given when you saw the Red Dead Redemption trailers that are seen in absolutely no other game? I'm really curious, I just can't think of any. 2.) The character fluidity is a big deal. I can't think of any game that has character movement such as this: being able to run, turn, dive, roll around while diving, and fire, 360 degrees, at any time you want. 3.) You haven't seen cinematics like Max Payne 3. Trust me. 4.) You haven't found leaked footage? You're obviously not trying. I've done YouTube searches throughout the week and found numerous videos, both with SP and MP footage. 5.) And were MP1 and MP2 as hyped as, say, Red Dead Redemption or GTA IV? I've always thought they were heavily underrated games with big fans following behind the series. In the end, there is no hype for this game...for you. I've awaited this game since it's announcement years ago, and am giddy as can be to hit up a midnight release tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Talk about a nerds response.. get with reality man. :) You are obviously super biased and fanboying the game. NOW, can I get a response from someone that can actually see what's going on and is not blinded childlishly over a game they WANT to do well. If yer gonna respond to me, don't do it pretending like YOUR little special game is going to be perfect.

wow, you obviously have no idea how to argue do you? you pretty much lost any support for your arguement the moment you decided to be a little b^tch and insult the guy for giving his opinion. now you just look like an a^^hole 

Most people like me dismissed the game the minute they realized it wasn't a free roam game.  While max payne fans are glad to see their franchise returning, most people were simply annoyed that rockstar spent all this time creating a coriddor shooter instead of the free roam games they are prized for.

Look at how well recieved games like GTA and RDR did vs. LA noire(even though it wasn't them developing) and manhunt games.  Everyone loves R*'s gta style games because they are really the only people doing them, and out of the few that are, they are the ones that do it well every single time.  But when they make the game play just like EVERY OTHER GAME out right now with a new story and a tweaked engine, everyone just yawns and goes "so when is GTA5 coming?".

This seems like a cool game, but it's nothing new, and nothing other games are giving us atm.  The only really different thing about the game is the euphoria engine which has been enhanced slightly since RDR.  The single player leads you by the hand the entire way, there is never room to stray more than 15 feet in either direction for most of the game, the engine is cool but it's all going to depend on if the MP takes off.  Game is pretty cool, but a lot of people (as I said before) are just waiting for rockstar to get back to making the games they are reknowned for.

OP, it's pretty obvious that you're the one that isn't hyped. Just because you aren't excited for the game doesn't mean that assloads of other people aren't excited.

You need to get with reality pal. He's not being biased, everything he said is factual. Deal with it. It's painfully obvious that you don't like MP and it appears you're the one that doesn't want it to do well. Why else would you make a thread b*tching about everything MP3?

Aaaaaaaand I stopped reading right there. You haven't played Max Payne before have you? If you had then you'd realize that MP has never ever ever EVER been a sandbox game. It shouldn't be. It's always been a linear, story-driven shooter. It wouldn't be MP if they made it like GTA. If they made it free roam then it'd be.... GTA. GTAV is coming out this year. You want open world stuff, buy that. Don't wish that trash into a MP game. Damn kids growing up in the GTA generation.....

Exactly.. they keep making a big deal about the multiplayer even, and when you go and actually watch gameplay.. it looks like a shooter from back in the day. IE, Duke Nuken: "A Time to Kill" multiplayer, or other older third person run and gun. There's no strategy to it, you just.. run aimlessly.. and gun, hoping to make a kill with no real strategy behind it. So I don't see the multiplayer being all too good. They over hyped it in the trailers by far.

This one is tricky since MP has never done multiplayer before. I honestly can't tell you how good it's going to be but again... looking at all the previews and now reviews, gaming sites are liking it so it can't be all bad. I will say this though, running and gunning aimlessly? You're not looking very hard or at all the vids. Cover and bursts change the gameplay up beyond "running and gunning". Granted, they kind of took a page out of Cod's playbook with the whole "perks" thing but I'll give it a chance.

When it's all said and done, if you want the game, buy it. If you don't want the game, don't make a thread crying about it. Guaranteed you're in the minority here OP.

[/QUOTE] You guys aren't that smart are you...? >P I'm not even gonna sugar your egos with a reply. lol. And btw.. yes.. I've played both Max Paynes. :D
