Got to play both the 360 and pc versions of the game. Both looked fantasic with the pc version looking sharper with a fucking solid framerate. That is the versio I will definitely be getting. I played the pc version with and xbox controller and then the dev let me replay the mission using the mouse and keyboard. Both controlled very well, but I still preferred the controller. It is weird becuase I have only played the original two games on pc. The controller just makes more sense for me now that there is more variety in controlling Max.
I only got to play the NEw York level since I played it on Sunday. The level starts in a bar right when a gunfight begins with these mafia guys. The controls I felt were really responsive, the animations for Max are seriously an awesome thing to see. I did see some comment on here about some people feeling differently saying they are horrible. The only thing I can really say to that is, A - they suck at games, or they were just firing from the hip most of the time. I found that the aiming felt a little "floaty" but then soon understood that holding the LT would have Max aim down the sites and you can find tune your shots, especially useful when in slow mo.
I saw someone say that you HAVE to use cover while playing the game. The first time I played I found myself using cover a lot. I think that this is also a result of kind of being trained by recent games to feel like you should alway resort to cover. I ,ade it a point in my next play through to use cover sparringly and really try to mix it up with using the other mechanics. If you are smart with how you use slo mo and the shoot dodge you will not have to resort to using cover as much.
Some other things that blew me away were the little features they had. One that I found was when taking out the last enemy in an area it would cut to a cinematic view of the kill. When this is happening you can hold the A button and control the speed to slow it down ever further. You could even fire more shots at the enemy while this is happening. Pretty fun to watch. Lastly, the executions....holy shit some of these are brutal. Similar to RDR, when you are close to an enemy and hit the fire button it will activate an execution move. Every gun has a different execution, and also different depending on the angle in which you attack. What I liked about it is that you actually get to initiate the kill at the end of the sequence. For example, the most brutal execution I did was with the pump action shotgun. Max swinger the butt of the gun into the enemies face and then threw him to the ground, then took aim right at the dudes face. Pressing RT finished the execution. My mind of blown!!
So that's all I could really think of so far. I seriously cannot wait for this fucking game!!
