Its been 7 years and no Third person game surpassed Max payne 3.

if you like slow paced campy game on huge map where everyone are hidding and you have few kills per hour of gameplay so maybe under those conditions pubg is better xd

Max Payne 3 might be my ultimate love it/ hate it relationship I have with a game. On the one hand, it STILL looks very nice, the presentation, sound, VA, are all great, the story is involving because of Max and the shooting just FEELS great, with its impactful physics. On the other hand, it also has some of the absolute worst trends of that era of action titles, with it being way, way too linear, to the point where the game will arbitrarily take away your two handed weapons at certain points, and as impressive as the shooting physics are, the load times are unbearable. On top of that, it seriously lacks the fluidity of the the second game. Sure, the movement is more "realistic" and it does allow for those great shooting physics, but Max feels like he's been weighed down and there's far less room to maneuver. In the first 2 games, you were moving all around a shooting arena (especially the second one, which ditched the sometimes unfairly accurate AI, or rather rebalanced it) and in MP3 it's a mostly standard cover based shooter with some bullet time thrown in for good measure.

Long story short, Vanquish is still the king of TPS from this past decade, and I both love and hate Max Payne 3.
