Our worst fears: Max Payne "criminally short"

[Cailean]

Did you guys play the game at all?

If memory serves it was f'n excellent.
Ok, and another thing, not every gamer wants to have a criminally long game. I quite liked the length of Max Payne, and the game itself. If you didn't, why on earth are you coming here, to these forums in the first palce and re-iterating a thread that has been done a hundred times over. Get over it. No amount of complaining is going to make dick all difference anyway.

drazula, i agree with your original post. we, as consumers, should not accept this short of a game. however, the real people who will have to listen are not the reviewers, but the game developers themselves.

uh news flash..

nobody FORCED you to "accept" or buy the game.

again, 95% of ppl are happy to pay for his game so why should developers have to change.

Yes, ppl have said the gameplay is somewhat repetitive and they are right. It is for this reason that 10-15 hours is the perfect length for MP.

As great as the gameplay is, you wouldn't want to be doing it for 40 hours.

The point is that you aren't paying on an hourly basis. You're paying for an entertaining experience which MP certainly provides

I played MP in about 12 hours(very fast for me)and i just have to say...I'M GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!(no...i didn't get a pirate version)

>>>Max Payne is a warmed over Tombraider - You heard it here first.


your right!! i thought of that in the first 2 minutes of the game...Lara without T*TS..in snowy NY

Only 10 hours of gameplay? Bullshiznit, after the 10 hours you finish the game, think of the good times you'll have whining about it on these forums, that's well over 150+ hours of fun for some of you fuxors, in case of "GenD" even 500+ hours of fun. And yes it has to be fun for you, why else would you bother to post over 10 threads/day trying to convince people (or yourself?) the game sucks?

Don't ever dare say again that Max Payne only gave you 10-15 hours of bang for yer buck, cause your getting a lot of bang here ****ing everyone off.

Don't pull that one. They get free publicity and a pool of eternal ideas to drink from. It's not us that are getting the free ride, it's 3D Realms and Remedy! We are subsidising them!

Heck, in a fair world they'd be PAYING me to post.

What a bull**** comment to my post...atleast admit you like bitching and whining as compensation for your lousy gaming experience.

I agree, 3DR and Remedy SHOULD pay you...for giving them the best laughs they had in ages.

Max Payne's retail price everywhere in Finland is ~35$ (Anachronox is about 60$), it's your government's and postal services fault you pay so much for it, not Remedy's or 3DRealm's. I've had it for 2.5 weeks and i'm at part3 cp3 and have loved every second of it. I also found the rat easter egg on the first run, tried shooting that annoying rodent first but it didn't help, so when i got a grenade at the end i thought i'd get rid of it for good, sadistic me

btw: you still haven't answered the question. why did you buy MP in the first place?

First of all, there are more people here that are my age than you think. A lot more! Maybe you should be less quick to judge.

I bought Max Payne because I took 3DRs word for what the game promised. Online, all people have are their word. Maybe I am too old, because I took what they said for face value. I believed them. They said, "We hate short games", "We hate linear games", "We hate monotenous games". Who would have thought they would produce what they hate?

I'll admit that MP is short, but that's no reason to lessen its overall score.

Nonsense. I read reviews of Serious Sam/Blue Shift that clearly took away from overall score because of the length of the game. And those games were priced much closer to their actual value.

If memory serves it was f'n excellent.

THAT THE PROBLEM! It's been so long since I finished it! It's gathering dust! Nothing more to do with that CD! Maybe they should have put the game on CD-RW. This way you could at least re-use the CDs.

we, as consumers, should not accept this short of a game. however, the real people who will have to listen are not the reviewers, but the game developers themselves.

Good point! But a good reviewer is the voice of the people. He should review games with that responsibility in mind. As consumers, if we make a loud enough noise, both reviewers and developers will have to change.

Only 10 hours of gameplay? Bullshiznit, after the 10 hours you finish the game, think of the good times you'll have whining about it on these forums, that's well over 150+ hours of fun for some of you fuxors,

Hehe. Right on. It's worth repeating: I'm here to get my money's worth!

it's your government's and postal services fault you pay so much for it, not Remedy's or 3DRealm's.

Try ordering direct from 3DR. It's $50...

10 hours? WTF are you talking about?

I would love to get five whole minute of game play without a lock up!
