Not really a good thing, Rockstar can't program for PCs for shit, it may as well end up being console only. Which is a bit of a kick in the balls for all the fans of the classics.BENZOOKA said:
Also He is still the fat bald version in the other screen? What is the first one then? Some kind of flash back shit?
Actually, she doesn't die in any difficulty other than the easiest, which you are forced to play the first time through. Take it from the guy who's completed the game over a dozen times.HankMan said:
The issue was whether or not Max dies:
Max was in love with Mona, and when you complete the game on the first difficulty, she dies, and it's implied through the final frame of the game that through his injuries he also dies: "I saw my wife, she was dead, but it was alright". The assumption, at least for me, was that his suffering had ended and it was alright that his wife was dead because he would soon meet her in the afterlife. Now on any other difficulty, Mona lives and the same ending frame appears regarding his wife, but since Max was happy and with Mona, the speculation was that he finally let go of the fact that his wife was dead to live a life with Mona.
Looks interesting but I rly love 1+2 and I dont want it ruining the noir feel, im reserving my final judgement tho til i see what its like when its released.
Well, that was WAY more information than I ever wanted... thanks... I'm going to go find the brain bleach now...Onyxious said:
If you finish the game on New York Minute, the final cut-scene plays for a fraction of a second longer and you find out that Mona survives.Art Axiv said:
Yeah, clearly Tom Clancy ripped off Max Payne.danhere said:Didn't read all the posts, but why does that look familiar...? Oh wait. This guy.
Except of course that Max Payne predates Sam Fisher by over a year...AgentNein said:
EDIT: look, guys, I know it's cheep and easy to say, oh look what this property is ripping off, but could you please at least roughly date check first? I realize this is probably the first time you're seeing this character, seeing as it's coming up on the tenth anniversary of the original game's release, but this whole "clearly it's ripping off this other property I know" speaks to a kind of disregard that really reinforces a lot of very poor stereotypes.
Nine years ago, no one was saying that Sam Fisher was a ripoff of Max Payne. Why? Because they're very different characters. If anything Conviction is more in the range of Ubisoft trying to find ways to turn Sam Fisher into Jack Bauer. But neither of these characters are even remotely similar to Max Payne beyond simple aesthetics of them being a white male with brown hair and a stubble... great... because if that's your only litmus, then clearly Sam Fisher's ripping off a lot more than just Max Payne.
I think you're missing the point. These really are comments based simply on the character design, which is boring as shit, taken from the three or four character design archetypes for male leads flying around these days. No one's saying Fisher came first, just that he's probably the most recognizable of this particular design right now. I'm more than familiar with Max Payne, and I was excited at the prospect of playing an older Payne that gives us maybe something new as far as main character designs. What can I say? I'm sick of playing young-to-middle aged white guys with short hair lean bodies and just enough stubble.Starke said:Yeah, clearly Tom Clancy ripped off Max Payne.danhere said:Didn't read all the posts, but why does that look familiar...?

To be fair that was the character design to begin with. The beer belly baldy in a wife beater was a bit of a departure. Do I wish there was more variety in general? Yes. Hell, I'd even take that version of Max Payne, but not with an established character.AgentNein said:
If anything Sam Fisher's been made more generic from his original design. I swear he's gotten younger and more generic with every passing iteration of the franchise.
That said, there's a pretty heavy bent on this site that if something even looks vaguely like anything else, clearly it's a ripoff with no value whatsoever. Which is more than a little irritating, to say the least.
You never played the first 2 games did you?Milky_Fresh said:
