Max Payne - Single-segment (DoA) [Attempting]

[ridd3r.]

Well this is taking longer than I thought, after doing it without dieing its no easier at all. However, I have been shaving quite a bit of time off, I now think I can do sub 1hr 40 ...just. It will be close but thats what I am aiming for, it may be like half a minute under or something like that. So it will be worth doing it again, there should be few mistakes and short of taking much more risk I don't see how I could go any faster.

Right now I'm doing a little bit more practise on part 3 and then I will start attempting again, it could happen anytime but hopefully within the next month.

Well, keep at it. Max Payne has been glaringly absent from SDA for too long.

You're doing so great so far. Keep it up!

[ridd3r.]

Ill post up a part 2 practise I did earlier today sometime tomorrow, its under 20mins (excludes pro2) so you can at least see something of what I have done so far.

[ridd3r.]

OK heres a single segment practise run of part 2 as promised:

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=2672272506715768210

I put it on google as opposed to youtube to save splitting the video up as its longer than 10mins (18:35). Let me know what you guys think.

Awesome single-segment, mate!

Lovely to see people still playing this! keep it up!

holy shit dude, if you really can do this, I guess the run will become my new favorite, even topping the Metroid Fusion 100% run! part 2 looked nicely, I really want to see your final Part 3! so hurry up

so easy to die....

so easy to die....
heres a tip. The baseball lvl. Have the shot guy shoot the mechine guy by hiding behind the uzi guy. Then you have about 50 bullets of uzi. Which would allowed you to skip meat plant and maybe the rest room

I go into the meat plant to get the deagle ammo mainly for the boss fight, it only takes a couple of seconds to go and get the uzi, also the painkillers are good, boosts confidence. Also I was wondering hitman, I read your old mp1 thread and you said you did it in 1hr 35min, this was like 10 days after you started it! Was that excluding all start and end cut scenes ( like your max payne 2 is timed on). Also was that on dead on arrival?

Final update before I do it, I am attempting again and I can easily get sub 1hr 40min now, its looking like 1hr 38min. I can shave 2 mins off part 1, 2 mins off part 2 and 2.5-4 mins off part 3 compared with my 1hr 44min run. This would give me 1hr 21.5 mins approx running time. Getting past part 1 is the main thing, I would even say it is the hardest.

Well as I am doing it single segment it could be anytime. Don't worry I WILL do it, I know I can do it (I already have, I just need to do it a bit more efficiently). I just can't promise when it will be done as like hitman said it is insanely easy to die, by the time its done I will have died in every place possible probably.

yes, i was doing the row thing costanly like the NY videos. I avoid many enemies. I was including with scences but im am not sure. Maybe its not. Both of the runs are on DOA. I might redo my SS run for MP2.

On my practise run ages ago I realised that rolling is slower than running in real time so I only roll to avoid enemies. On your old thread your 1hr35 excluded the very first and very last cutscenes according to what you said (i.e gaining to losing control of the character). Or I though it might exclude all start and end of level cutscenes (but still include in level cutscenes), which is how the MP2 run was timed for SDA. The intro and outro are like 4 mins so I should be beating your old run by a good minute at the very least but the running time will be about 1hr 22mins, still you did very well to beat it that fast.

unless....i do better

[ridd3r.]

unless....i do better

Are you going to start attempting this again? Your welcome to try, but I will keep at it until its done. You will have to beat 1hr 36-38mins full length of the video starting recording at the title screen and finishing when he starts the secret level.

[hitman201]

no it ends when you destroy the helicopter. Thats when time ends. but sure when i am done with MP2

Yeah I know, but all the times I'v done and my 1hr 38 prediction are the full length of the video so it includes those scenes, basically when I start to when I finish recording.
