Popular Post GeneSaw Posted July 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2018 Succeeded om my eighth attempt. Every single one of my deaths were really stupid... 1. Chapter 13 - The last guy who comes after the armored car managed to put me into the last stand and I only had one bullet left and I managed to miss the headshot... 2. Chapter 6 - The room with all the cubicals, one sudden grenade killed me. 3. Chapter 4 - I somehow managed to shootdodge myself off the rooftop... not my finest moment... 4. Chapter 3 - This is where I hit my lowpoint... I accidentally shot Passos through the back of his head during the brief gunfight after he finds the wounded guy on the chair... 5. Chapter 13 - this time I didn't even manage to destroy the armored car since it somehow managed to kill me because my LAW didn't fire... 6. Chapter 8 - I somehow missed (a couple of times...) shooting the guy who points his gun to Passos resulting in him killing Passos... 7. Chapter 13 - This one probably irritated me the most... this time I destroyed the armored car with ease but after that I somehow blew myself up with the LAW while trying to shoot the guys after the armored car... After all these I finally succeeded! Had a few bumps in the road but all in all the last attempt went quite smoothly. My final time was something just below 20 minutes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

closertim Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thought I'd update my progress, I've only tried 4 times but haven't tried in over a week. Attempt 1: Ended at chapter 6 in the cubicles . Went into last man which I passed but where I dove was a nice grenade ready to explode. Instakill. Attempt 2: Chapter 2. Was fluffing around too much in the helicopter trying to protect fabiana. She got a round pumped inside her. Chapter 3: For some reason I was having a nightmare of a run. Not much time or ammo. Got sent into last man standing which I failed due to no ammo. Bit of a relief failing. Got to chapter 8 (which is probably my hated chapter difficulty wise) and got murdered after saving passos. I will get this trophy one day. Even if it kills me but I'm more focusing my time on the mp grind for now and other games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post demonoutcast Posted July 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Finally nailed it after 4 tries; Three days total. Pro strat; Do 2 attempts a day, if they both fail then try again the next day. Got it on the digital version with a few game breaking bugs and suprisingly no freezes. Very challenging but doable if you have patience and abuse the Uncharted cover trick like crazy. I used Golden Guns on the whole way. Attempt 1: Chapter 14 - Died on the final boss fight at the 2nd wave trying to get painkillers (Beside the right luggage). The game ended up soft locking Max and possessed him to start Moonwalking towards Becker. "Ahahaha no such luck!" Rockstar exclaimed Attempt 2: Chapter 7 - Game glitched trying to get through a door at the crackhouse right before the fireworks scene. ~Wait for the signal flares to avoid this bug Attempt 3: Chapter 13 – Got sniped in the head after the slide window sequence. ~After you slide into cover, watch out for the Red-Laser sight rushing the middle because he will if you take too long. And thus, My reaction after completing this hell mode : Edited July 25, 2018 by demonoutcast 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeepestTempest Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I did this in over 40 tries, but I finally got it with 6 minutes left on the clock. First of many gripes were the Hoboken stage part 1 in the alley at end with cars, a glitch occurred several times Max would not shoot and the camera would continue to bob around like he was locked in Last Man Standing but unable to kill enemy. Second gripe some times would be the Branco Industries Part II on fire, where any delay in kills would get me killed by a few hiding enemies (especially the 3 near the end). Cemetery stage, near its end, I would kill all the thugs who ran towards Passos, but sometimes he would die for no apparent reason. Bus station, at its end, would be the rocket guy I'd forget to save bullet time for and I'd end up dying (but learned my lesson). UFE HQ, not too bad but forgot to keep cover during one playthrough and got killed by the armored HWV. Finally got to the airport stage, some parts are easy while others are not, but was low on pain killers towards the Becker fight but survived. Blowing up all the assholes on the airport runway with the grenade launcher was my greatest reward afterwards. Booyah!

closertim Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Attempt 5: never shot the rocket in time resulting in the heli blowing up. Whatever..... Attempt 6: shot fabiana at the end of chapter 5 part 2. Pretty sure I shot the thug right next to her but once again whatever..... Attempt 7: ran out of ammo in the bleachers on chapter 3. Didn't even go to last man standing, I guess cos I had no ammo Attempt 8: right at the end of the cemetery level in the church passos got shot and died. Don't really know how this happened. I was starting to believe I could do it this run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Attempt 9 . Died at the end of chapter 5 part 1. Put into last man and had no ammo loaded. Attempt 10. Right at the end of chapter 7. Once again put into last man standing and had no ammo loaded up. God damn....... Attempt 11. The sniper bit at the church where passos gives cover. I flanked the sniper but missed the shot and straight away he murdered me. Fucks sake..... Attempt 12. Just before the boss fight in chapter 13 in the the office. Was kinda struggling with pain killers so decided not to use any and wait for a last man standing but got shot and couldn't see the thug. Very unwise. Was stoked that I made it that far considering how rubbish I have been doing but also would've been nice going all the way. Should be just a matter of time now........

closertim Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Up to attempt 18 now. Nothing really to report. A couple of deaths in chapter 13 in the green laser room and some other bullshit deaths elsewhere. Chapter 6, 8 and 13 causing the most grief at this time.

Otonio_Bruno Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Inspired by @B1rvine words and advices, I read this entire thread to get as much knowledge before trying NYMHC. Yesterday, I finished NYM and I struggled mostly on chapters 11, 13 and 14, mainly due to low time you start with, you need to rush things to get a good timer or else you'll be constantly running down to kill guys that makes you careless, i.e needing more ammo and painkillers than normal. That said, I only died once in each of those chapters, so I guess that' pretty okay, considering they're late in the run I can take my time and do things slowly because of the time I've built in previous chapters. I'll either update this post or make a new one for each attempt at NYMHC I make. Here is hoping I can make in one attempt ? - 1st attempt (Chapter 2): Not surprisingly, I missed some shots in Fabiana catwalk section in chapter 2, she died. I hate laser weapons in this game =/. - 2nd attempt (Chapter 6, part 2): Died to the 3 guys at the end as other people here experienced the same death. Basically, the first two guys after you get the gun wouldn't come out of cover and I had to press on and kill them, one of them put just put me one inch of dying. The next 3 guys was going to be a pain in the ass...and they were. First two died easily, the third refused to come out of cover, so if I stayed too long I would die from smoke, if I went ahead I would risk dying to 3rd guy, so I gambled: I don't know if it was a glitch or just him hiding in a corner of the burnt office, he shot me and that was the end of the run. So far, it's fun. Nerve-wracking? Sure, but also fun. Might be one of my greatest gaming accomplishments on ps3. Looking forward try some more the coming days. EDIT: Two more tries. -3rd attempt (Chapter 2): Can't believe I couldn't shoot the first rocket after Fabiana catwalk section, pretty stupid stuff. -4th attempt (Chapter 4 - part 1): Died in one the worst possible ways in the alley after exiting the bar. I was shooting the cars to explode them, one of thugs just managed to score bunch of shots in me while I was using cover and of course Max fell shooting the brickwall. I had my health full prior to starting the shootout too. Those two runs were simply stupid and on both I was doing alright on painkillers, ammo and time, had almost 7 minutes when starting chapter 4. These stupid deaths never happened when I was playing on hard/old school/hardcore, go figure.

Otonio_Bruno Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) New post, I'll keep this one updated as maximum as possible with latest attempts so I don't spam/triple post in this thread. - 5th attempt (Chapter 8): This one I hadn't much confidence I would be able to do it, but I actually did pretty good on this one, got up to chapter 8 with more than 15 minutes on the clock. After fighting the initial wave of guys that includes the grenade launcher up to, I went upstairs to fight the second group that guards the gate to the next area. One of them managed to get me down in just two shots (Nearly full on health) and them went to cover behind a tombstone, I shot the tombstone with big hopes of killing him somehow but didn't make it. I guess I got unlucky on this one. I liked my 5th run so far, even if I failed just in mid-game, because I managed to get past chapter 6, part 2 easily where I couldn't before, so it's an improvement. Hoping I can get this done this week! - 6th attempt (Chapter 10): I'm disheartened, this attempt was going so good, had plenty of time in my clock, didn't make any big mistakes and I was in chapter 10, in the offices right before drive-by section in the bus, the only guy left near the buttom to procceed managed to one shot me while I was in a corner, no chance of hitting him in LSM, feeling real down because of this one =/.

closertim Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Nice work. In chapter 2 you can press select to get rid of the lasers on the rifle in the helicopter. Made it easy easier for me. Keep trying and good luck. I actually miss playing this incredible game. Was heaps of fun going for nymhc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otonio_Bruno Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I should have updated this sooner, but this last week I either have been outta time or simply not motivated enough to do many NYMHC runs. Anyway, here is my "recent" runs: - 7th attempt (Chapter 3): This was a funny one, in chapter 3, right after you kill the first set of snipers, Max jumps out the window to fight soldier in the bleachers, the first set of them being killed by Passos from long-range. The second set which appear after you cross a small-gate, isn't usually that problematic...until they decide to throw grenades at you. One was thrown right at my feet and I was like "Oh no no no", so I desperation I activated shootdodge to escape the grenade and it went quite well, apart from the fact the grenade was still in range to kill me XD. - 8th attempt (Chapter 8): This one I raged. Unsurprisingly on chapter 8, Passos died at the intersection right after the second session in the graveyard, in the scene where he kill one guy and draw the attention of other dozen and you need to draw their attention back to Max in like 2 seconds and Passos is dead. I switched my weapon, entered bullet-time, Passos is dead. I was like "WTF" game, you didn't even gave me time to kill some of them and grab their attention. And this wasn't the first time this happened, got plenty of this in the campaign mode. Was doing an otherwise great run in chapter 8...but oh well, another failure. In the meantime, I just finished hardcore difficulty+challenge mode and also SP grinds. Probably will take a week or more before I try NYMHC, heavily occupied with tests and job applications.

shopo Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I cant remember my fails because I completed this epic game around 2013-14. But I am sure that I tried it at least 10 times or more, and died halfway many times. It feels so good when you pass a challenge like that. Max payne 3 and Wolfenstein 2 platinums are probably my proudest trophies ever (And Far Cry 2... Loved that game but the multiplayer boosting was the worst experience ever. And in that case it isn't about skill, it is just about patience and having a lot of free time lol) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ateyate Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This challenge is one of the best there is. 2019, first time playing on a PS3 and now I have to tackle adjusting to the massive deadzones of the Dualshock 3. (had this 100% on Xbox) I'll report back later with how this went. From memory I think it was 2 or 3 attempts for me to get it on Xbox. I only wish Social Club was cross-platform, so that I'd at least have all my multiplayer trophies covered right away, but I understand why it doesn't operate like that. Gang Wars related stuff may prove tricky, needing 4 players to initiate. Looking forward to playing Max Payne 3 again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajoesbane Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Lots of stuff happened. At least the game froze 3 times in chapter 13 before LMG guy. 2 times in chapter 9 my bullet glitched through rocket from heli - bam! dead. Couple occasional failures with grenade launcher in ch.8 and 13 =) But considering my dedication, it worked out evetually in a pretty smooth run. Would do it again, lol.

Otonio_Bruno Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) So, I'm back trying to get NYMHC completed, got 2 more tries in: -9th Attempt (Chapter 2): I was away from the game from a long time and my skills got rusty, on 2nd chapter I died at the rocket launcher sequence you need to shoot twice. Could've been a good warm-up but ended prematurely. - 10th attempt (Chapter 14): I almost had it in my hands, like it I was minutes away from completing chapter 14. Started this attempt with no pretentions of completing it, just for practicing more and I somehow got up to chapter 14 (With not much time on clock tbh, less than 3 minutes) and was doing well, with a good number of painkillers, got up to the last fight in the hangar, needed to kill 3 or 4 soldiers and BAM a grenade hit me outta nowhere, despite me being very quick to destroy them when they were launched. The feeling is quite sad, but at the same time it proves I can do it, I just wish I didn't have to invest so much time again =/.

Popular Post SIFTH3AD26 Posted May 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2019 It’s 2019 and as of today, it’s May 14th. Max Payne 3 was released in May 15, 2012, nearly 7 years ago. So I decided to try and go for the platinum trophy before it’s 7th year anniversary 1st Attempt: Glitch occurred in Chapter 7 and the enemies didn’t spawn, so I couldn’t continue. I kinda hoped that it wouldn’t happen since many people had this issue during their runs on YT and I was confident I could’ve finished this on my first attempt. 2nd Attempt: Died in Chapter 10 by that one enemy inside the bus after the massive shootout. Couldn’t see him in LMS so it was a fail. 3rd Attempt: Got killed by one of the enemies on the rotating boats in Chapter 5. Couldn’t get a clear shot of him in LMS so I died 4th Attempt: Died in the beginning of Chapter 11 because the enemy in the kitchen cover was too good. Ended up in LMS and this was probably the one that got me REALLY irritated. 5th Attempt: Was really impatient in Chapter 8 and ended up getting killed by the sniper. Didn’t have any bullet time so I panicked and shot too many bullets resulting in my death. 6th Attempt: In Chapter 4 Part II where Passos opens the gate, there is a gas tank and an enemy behind it. Decided to shoot it for the first time and funny enough ended up killing myself. It was ridiculous because I had full health and wasn’t even near it. 7th Attempt: During Chapter 8, in the area where you’re supposed to distract the enemies from Passos, I decided to use the grenade launcher just for the hell of it. It later ended up showing a short cutscene in which one of the enemies killed Passos. I was literally left speechless. 8th Attempt: This one angered me so much to the point where I almost wanted to break something. In Chapter 14, I was shot out of nowhere and ended up in LMS where you’re supposed to turn on the power for the train to move. The enemies already threw smoke grenades and I couldn’t see him. What confused me the most was that I was at full health with 6 painkillers and in no way is there a weapon that immediately downs you in one shot. I almost stopped trying to get this trophy since this was the last chapter, but a part of me still wanted to continue. 9th Attempt: Accidentally killed Giovanna in Chapter 2 since I was in a rush. 10th Attempt: Got shot out of nowhere in Chapter 10 after the bus shootout. Enemy was hiding in the smoke since I shot many vehicles down and couldn’t see him in LMS. 11th Attempt: Died on Chapter 11 in LMS during the part where Passos joins you for the shootout. The enemy immediately went back to cover after I was shot which is complete utter BS. 12th Attempt: Finally beat NYMH and I'm never playing this mode again! I can proudly say this is the hardest and most challenging trophy I’ve ever attempted and got. This is probably the platinum trophy I’m most proud to achieve because I’ve had this game for almost 6 years and while it was a pain in the ass (no pun intended), it felt satisfying knowing that I finally completed it. All I have left is the DLC trophies which I don’t know if I’ll buy since the multiplayer is meh to me, but who knows maybe I will in the near future. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
