I played it a couple years after all the hype and wasn't really feeling it, I don't think I finished it. The story wasn't engaging me personally, and I felt the noir style was better in the original games. The gun mechanics were good but I didn't really use bullet time the way I did in the originals, I pretty much had to be like "oh yeah I have that, I should use it" and I'd use it for the hell of it but not because I felt like I was in a combat situation where I needed it.

I think I fell victim to overhype. The people I knew at least constantly praised it for years before I played it and would be like "you've GOT to play Max Payne 3"
But I will applaud it for being a relatively, at least compared to GTA and stuff niche title that I never would've expected them to do another one of and with the way Rockstar is going that'll likely be the last outside of the box thing they do, they're just going to focus on cash cows like GTA Online from now on. Can't blame them as as a business. I'd imagine they've probably released a few new cars in GTA Online that generated as much shark card revenue for it as Max Payne 3 as a whole made them for next to no cost or time for them compared to making an entire new game.
