Max Payne 3 - glitches and observations pt. 5
7Some miscellaneous but cool glitchy things from Chapters 5, 8, 9 and 11.
0:00 - if you enter Chapter 5-11 with Checkpoint 0 glitch active, later on (when the gameplay in Chapter 5-12 is about to start) the game will freeze for a few seconds with some of the HUD graphics glitched up. But this is harmless, and things will soon return to normal.
0:15 - Max can go "prone" during the boat ride if you try to do it after opening up weapon wheel. But the only effect this has is that it makes the boat move in a stuttery way.
0:48 - a weird glitch in Chapter 5-17. Instead of this Checkpoint starting normally, Max is stuck fiddling with his gun or in t-pose. The set piece won't end properly either, and the boat just gets stuck after driving off the ramp. A loading error (or other type of severe trigger skip) was the most likely reason for this glitch, considering how trying to retry didn't work either.
1:41 - a cool freeze frame at the end of Chapter 5-18.
2:02 - a small skip in Chapter 8-3! If you retry and shoot the driver (yes, in that order), the game thinks you win the set piece and skips the bullet time cam. However... at least on PS3 this probably won't work as a time save since you can't retry until auto-save is complete, and waiting for that is already slower than finishing this part normally.
2:22 - a bullet time / retry oddity in Chapter 8-7. Retrying and then quickly shooting the thug creates a redundant bullet time cam, seemingly giving the thug his own mini-cutscene. Hey, random thugs deserve a little recognition and screen time every now and then too!
2:33 - doing the same to Passos. This gives you a more glitchy looking bullet cam plus a fake game over after retry.
2:44 - Chapter 9-7. I think I was just playing this part normally, when all of a sudden most audio in the game went silent.
3:12 - a cool freeze frame from the end of Chapter 9-11.
3:37 - another random oddity. At Chapter 11-7 no enemies spawned upstairs, so the set piece was unwinnable. A retry fixed things.
4:22 - for some reason trying to roll during Chapter 11-11 set piece causes Max to fall down in a humiliating looking way. Touching water is fatal at the moment.
Meanwhile, if you manage to fall down without landing in water, the new Checkpoint that is about to start will glitch up. Max teleports into his usual location at the cover, after which the game is softlocked.
