Pre-Ordered for €25 on gamestop.ie a week ago, just received an email containing a completely unexpected DLC code.

Local Justice Multiplayer Map Pack

The Local Justice multiplayer map pack includes the Police Precinct map for Gang Wars, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Payne Killer multiplayer modes. The pack will also feature two additional maps for Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Payne Killer, new precinct-themed multiplayer avatar items, multiplayer challenges, and more.

Noice!

I ordered off cdwow, I hope they do the same as there was no mention of any DLC bonus when buying.

Just got shipping confirmation of my special edition and my Local Justice code from Gamestop. Happy days.

Sheehy, request sent, rockchapelboy, on XBL. Am only joining to make up the numbers until the end of August, or at least until I figure out a way of getting my shítty mobile broadband to work with the xbox.

Zero-Cool

Ah i'm only on PS3 but the gang is tracked over ps3, xbox and pc. Always welcome the numbers!

I think that free local justice dlc is a preorder with gamestop only, rest of us need to pay for it so make sure ye let us know if it's any good lads

I remember seeing it as a bonus on play.com as well, but that may have ust been with the CE...

people talking about the rockstar pass a few days ago, if u enjoy the multiplayer you'll need to be picking up some of the dlc, was in a stream earlier and apparently there are only 6 maps for the multiplayer, hope they aint gonna pull an ea/capcom move here. i trust rockstar to deliver an amazing game but sure hope they dont hope on the greedy dlc bandwagon

Zero-Cool

Added u there wnolan. Id say the mp is a bit light on content alright since they have a big line up planned for the summer.

Corkfeen

True, I really just wanted to rub that fact in. Mainly to comfort myself though....

Zero-Cool

Sent invites to cork feen and potential monke there. I know pc games are usually cheaper but wonder why this was a lot cheaper than usual?

I think the gamestop website accidentally had the game slightly mispriced for a few days and I just happened to avail of it. Fairly sure the console copies were slightly cheaper at the time too. Thanks for the invite and you've now reached 25.

Zero-Cool

Well done lads, we got our first accomplishment of getting 25 members!

tuxy

Just started playing this but already on chapter 5.

It does a great job of recapturing the atmosphere of previous max payne games.
Pity the Gameplay is so dull, it's just the typical duck and cover shooter that most 3rd person shooters are these days.

Nodferatu

might see if my local tesco's has it after midnight tonight

Ahhhh This is what i was afraid of.

Really don't know if i'll bother with this at full price. I'm playing MP1 at the moment and don't think i could be arsed playing what boils down to a reskinned game.

Zero-Cool

YEEEAAAAAAAAHHH Gamesnash ye beautiful b*stards! Max just arrived!

djkeogh

First impressions?

I'll be picking it up at lunch time tomorrow and have set aside tomorrow night to sit down and get stuck into the MP with a few beers.

Zero-Cool

In work but went to one of the lads place for lunch to see what it's like but by the time it installed, we had to head back to work. sickner! Will be giving it plenty of time tonight anyway so will let ye know.

i used to love a bit of early gamesnash delivery

i've decided i'm not going to get this on console, i just can't do it. i played and loved (even on really low settings) MP 1 and 2 on our old family pc when they first came out. i got both again on the xbox a couple of weeks ago and tbh they're horrible to play with a joypad, it's really put me off the idea of MP on console so i've a couple of weeks to build a new system. . .must avoid videos/spoilers for even longer

wnolan1992

Yurt! Courier just rang, game being delivered as I type. Now just gotta pack my sh't and get back home tonight and collect it.

dunno bout this, ive been reading the neogaf forums about it and everyone loves it, only complaint they have is that its too long between save points, thats all

HereticPrincess

Does anyone know offhand how much the Xbox version will be?

Heading into Dublin tomorrow to pick it up

Well it's 50 quid on gamestop.ie, so I can only imagine it'll be at least that in most shops. Might be lucky to pick up a cheap copy in Tesco maybe?

Q_Ball

Screenshot comparison between the xbox and ps3 version seem to be 99% identical

Gamesnash.ie

Game is f+cking class!! Great intro and its classic max! the blurriness and strange colours are weird but fits the gameplay as max is on a lot of drink and pills. It actually feels like your drunk/drugged as well. Shoot dodging is excelent, the movement and physics are just perfect.

Only complaint so far is changing weapons furing cutscenes can b very annoying.

I was sceptical of another 3rd person shooter but this is calssic max, excellent.

Doylers

Im playing it aswell its more movie than game which is annoying. Was in the middle of a gun fight really low on ammo killed the last guy then it cut to a movie scene and I was downstairs with about 5 bullets Had to run around trying to get some while chap with a kinda gatling gun shoots at me and he has loads of armor on.

If you can play this game classic max style with out using the all too common cover system you are a far better gamer than I.

Zero-Cool

I mostly use cover to get a breather as the enemy flanks you fairly quick. I meanr classic max more of the character anyway, keeping that noire feeling. Free aim is a must, id say its fairly boring using hard or sift lock. Getting the trophy for 6 kills jumping out a certain window just felt good!

wnolan1992

Won't be playing until tomorrow because I've to set up the Xbox, TV and speaker system after the move, but....

LOOK HOW PRETTY!!!

That is so class!

Multiplayer is a great laugh, really frantic. The crew thing looks class as well, has our emblem and slogan, and all our stats. Says I only have 4 PSN friends in the crew so add me if you didn't already sheehy83.

There is no need for the golden guns, they look really tacky, don't even know if they cause extra damage.

Online, me and a guy were running at each other, both dived in slo mo, landing on the ground still shooting the sh*t out of each other. Looked really class. Free aim is definitely the way to go.

can you free roam??

Local-womanizer

Such a great game, I am really enjoying the campaign.

I think it's brilliant! I'm reading mixed reviews online, either people love it or hate it.

I think if you play with free aim, you will enjoy the game more. I was watching gameplay online with soft and hardlock and it looked so boring, no skill involved at all.

I'm really 50/50 on whether to play story or online first when I get home, both are great.

first level and I've already shouted HOLY **** about 3 times
