It’s a neat mode that has you bouncing between trying to deal the most damage to Max or Passos, or trying to let your teammates whittle down their health so you can score a final kill. The player who deals the most damage to either character is re-spawned as that character loaded to the teeth with painkillers, guns, and adrenaline. The idea behind Payne Killer is that two players will play as either Max or Passos while the other team has to work together to bring them down. There’s Rookie Deathmatch/TDM, regular Deathmatch/TDM, large Deathmatch/TDM, Payne Killer, and Gang Wars there are also hardcore variants you can unlock once you get 5000 kills. So when you start up the playlist you’ll think Max Payne 3 has quite a lot of game modes to play, but in reality out of the either modes you see, there are only really 3 different ones. New York Minute on the other hand is meant more for speed-running players with each level starting you out with a timer that continually trickles down the only way to get more time is to score kills. ![]() ![]() Score Attack rewards you with points for kills, more points the more impressive the kill, with a focus on keeping your multiplier up. You’ll find a variety of menial tasks such as finding golden guns, and tougher ones such as shooting grenades in the air or scoring kills while on your back.īesides the 10+ hour campaign and grinds to, excuse the pun, grind through you’ll also have New York Minute and Score Attack to keep you playing. You’ll find ‘grinds’ to do through both the singleplayer and online. Painkillers can be somewhat difficult to locate if they’re not in plain view, but the game thankfully refills your health each time you die so at least you can’t screw yourself by walking into a situation with little to no health. I’m always up for a good challenge but later missions really punished you for using the shootdodge mechanic and I found myself starting to use cover more and more. I found Max to be stupidly brittle even on normal difficulty. For fans worried about Rockstar dumbing down the game fret not because painkillers are still your only source of health in this game only multiplayer has slowly regenerating health, not on hardcore though. Did I mention the physics? Almost everything can be smashed apart and it will with clean rooms looking like a wrecking crew drove through after gunfights. With the added euphoria engine that powered Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption, you’ll be greeted to some amazing moments from shooting enemies and seeing them stumble around to diving in the air over a desk, spinning around, and quickly sending a few thugs to meet their maker. You’ll see a meter to the right that shows how much time you can spend in this mode and can be refilled quickly be simply scoring kills outside of shootdodge. It’s the Matrix styled shootdodge mechanic that’s going to be your main source of dealing out death. You can take cover if you want, but be prepared for enemies to start flanking your position to deliver a healthy dose of ass whooping. Besides the new cover mechanic not much has changed in how you play compared to the previous titles. ![]() That lasts a good five minutes before things start to hit the fan and Max is thrown between protecting the family and controlling his own substance abuse issues. The game is quick to remind you that Max is still leaning on the booze and pills to keep him running, but things start to look up a bit for him when he moves to Brazil and gets a bodyguard position to protect a wealthy family. With the trade of gloomy New York for sunny São Paulo don’t go thinking that things are any more cheerful Max starts out in the shitter and slowly gets in deeper as the game continues that culminates in possibly Rockstar’s darkest game yet. ![]() With Remedy being too busy working on whatever it is they’re doing (please be Alan Wake 2) Rockstar decided to pick up the third entry in the series. It’s been nearly 10 years since we’ve seen Max Payne sulk through the New York alleys he’s decided that he’s had his fill of the big apple and is moving to São Paulo, Brazil for the sun, babes, and gangs.
