Greatest action game ever - Page 3

There sure was. Don't make me feel old.

MP2 is a damn fine game. Although I still slightly favour the first game, this was a very worthy sequel.

I wonder what they're going to do for the next Max Payne game...?

I never finished the first Max Payne. Would the story in the second make sense to me?

Sandman · February 12, 2004, 22:33

The game recaps the story for you; click on 'previously'.

As for the topic "Greatest Action Game Ever", here's another competitor (Still not better than Duke Nukem 3D though

):

A few days ago the demo for UT2k4 was just released. It's a mixture between UT and UT2k3, with some added (and re-added) game modes...
The "link-mode" game-mode is great, I don't remember the official name for it though...
...and Assasination is back from UT again... God I missed that one

I can't give you a link from were I got this game though, since I "downloaded" it from my room-mate's computer

The story isn't exactly hard to follow. Though you might not want to.

Okay, need help, where is the fookin' gun at the start of the 3rd chapter? Do I need to try to beat-up one of the badies. I've done about 25 reloads and searched (I think) all of the cabinets. Starting to reach the frustration level.

I finished the first Max Payne, and I loved the story. The dream sessions where kinda annoying but that's ok. I didn't play MP2 yet, so no spoilers.

Use your brain

Thanks, I was hiding there, but guess I did not wait long enough.

NOLF2 is a little bit shorter than NOLF, but only a little bit--and just about everything else is noticably better.

Especially the story and graphics and levels... and...

Spaced Cowboy · February 14, 2004, 11:03

Well I can't decide if NOLF2 is next or Call of Duty. This babysitting VG in MP2 is killing my a$$.

Oh and just a note on that part 3 start. Make sure the bad guys stay together, that is go directly to that room, if they do not stay together, the scripted event does not happen.

Adagio · February 14, 2004, 12:04

I've never played NOLF (1 or 2), but I've played CoD a little... I think I managed to beat 2 or 3 missions before getting bored...
Why do they keep pooping out one WW2 game after another... I hate games about WW2

What! No Max Payne 2 thread! Has no one played this game? Or nobody liked it (impossible)?

probably Speedball2 for me.
If only FPS are allowed then Jedi Knight held my interest more than any other.
I've not tried Max Payne because i get the feeling its a very linear game(like Splinter Cell), which offers very little replay value? I could be wildly wrong on this?

DrSpike · February 16, 2004, 08:43

Ah Speedball2, what a classic. Good choice.

Adagio · February 16, 2004, 08:54

Speedball 2

Would be nice if they'd made a sequel to that one...

...ok, there already is a "sequel" to this one, but not from the same creators, and defently haven't got the same feeling

DrSpike · February 16, 2004, 09:06

It's one of those games that's very hard to transport to the modern industry. Probably best just to leave memories as they are.

Adagio · February 16, 2004, 09:09

I'm not talking about a full upgrade... that probably would never work... just keep is more or less as it is, while adding MP options for online play, and such

They don't have to touch the graphics...

Spaced Cowboy · February 16, 2004, 11:28

Well, just finished Max Payne 2, and, ta-da, it was indeedly short, but I was getting tired of it anyway.

CoD is sweet and immersive. I have not played any other WW2 shooters yet, so this one is good for me. ADG, from what I understand, the Russian missions are the best, so you should have hung out for those.

Now I'm going to put MP1 and MP2 on e-bizzle as a matched set, so I can get KotOR

Agathon · February 16, 2004, 14:28

Greatest action game?

MP? Ugh!

Doom II. Yay!

bipolarbear · February 23, 2004, 22:44

It really wasn't anything great, ti was more of a Max Payne 1 just with a few slight changes,(ANDI DO MEAN SLIGHT) and a different story. Other than that, nothing spectacular. I had more fun playing counterstrike ol

bipolarbear · February 23, 2004, 22:46

Doom II agathon? I pity you. The environments all looked the same, as did the enemies, as did the guns, as did the blood, as did Quake, as did every Doom incarnation ever! I'm looking forward to doomIII even though penny arcade said it looked stupid.

bipolarbear · February 24, 2004, 01:22

and just a very slight and interjecting sidenote agathon, where is your little mac icon? Did you finally realize that Windows is far superior? Admit it, your Kung-Fu is not as strong mine!

Urban Ranger · February 24, 2004, 01:40

bipolar - please do not spam everywhere, hmmm kay?

bipolarbear · February 24, 2004, 02:50

sorry

Illuminatus · February 24, 2004, 14:42

bipolarbear, I can see you are another CS zombie who decided to spam all available threads. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!
