Anybody playing this? I've been having lots of fun on multiplayer, trying a hard playthrough now..

I'm gonna hold off on getting this until the price drops because my buddy says its a very short game; he beat it in a few days.

I'm gonna hold off on getting this until the price drops because my buddy says its a very short game; he beat it in a few days. I've read that it's 10-12 hours for a play through, and for a linear campaign that's pretty good. Disappointed there isn't the option for regenerating health though - even in the easiest difficulty setting - you need the painkillers to remain true to the franchise, but the option for regenerating health should be there for those that want it, I say. I always find it daft whenever people say regenerating health isn't realistic - yeah, because stepping on a white box with a red cross on it, or eating a hot dog, is so realistic. I'm all for the gamer having options to suit their preferences, so it was disappointing to not see that as an option that could be enabled. Generally speaking though I will get the game, but not until it's on sale. I barely ever buy games full price anymore, and on the rare occasion I do, it's a sandbox game (which will allow me many hours of play - thus giving me a better 'pounds per hour' value in my favour ... if I can get one hour of play time for every £1 spent, then I'm happy).

This game has alot going for it. Sure it's linear and that may deter some, but there are plenty of incentives for extra playthroughs and the multiplayer is entertaining as all get out.

and the multiplayer is entertaining as all get out. Can you play 4-6 humans vs AI? ie: Can you and a group of 3-5 of your mates take on levels against AI opponents?

[childofgilead]

No..thats actually what I love about Mass Effect 3, that it's co-op only..*sigh*..if only..

Multiplayer cheaters and hackers are going to get the Rockstar treatment. http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged...181929439.html Rockstar has created an area called the "Cheaters Pool," where it will toss anyone who uses hacked saves, modded games or other shortcuts to gain an advantage -- a group the developer calls "confirmed miscreants." Once confined to that area, they'll only be able to play against others who have used cheats like invincibility hacks, infinite adrenaline or score boosters. Don't think the infractions will be tolerated even in the pool, though. Anyone in that quarantine zone who's caught cheating a second time will be banished from the multiplayer servers indefinitely.

Christ! Let's hope people don't get mis-diagnosed!?

[MinionZombie]

Christ! Let's hope people don't get mis-diagnosed!? Rockstar themselves said that 'legitimate techniques like camping' won't be affected, and they'll review the evidence (they want pics or video, so it seems). What they're seeking to get rid of are people who have unlimited ammo, health, etc - things that are clearly cheats.

Gamefly just shipped a copy. I cannot wait to play it. I have not played a Max Payne game, since the first one over a decade ago.

It's pretty good..gunplay and multiplayer are outstanding.
