I understand the reasoning for it but it's off the charts here. Max's monologues basically amount to, "Everything sucks, everyone sucks, I need a drink, FML." If you took out James McCaffrey's voice and the bullet time, would you recognize this as Max Payne? You wouldn't. R* Max Payne is too "Man on Fire: The Game™, starring John McClane". I much prefer Remedy's take on the franchise because this game doesn't feel like a MP game to me. It's so vastly different than what Remedy put out and that puts a bad taste in my mouth. That said, I've still got a lot of problems with the game. I'd consider it the best TPS out there that's still unmatched. The one thing that R* did right was kill it on the gun play and the mechanics. I really struggle with how I feel on this one.Įven though it's not my overall favorite of the three titles, I've sunk the most hours into this one because of the game play alone. I can't think of any other game other than MP3 that gives me Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. I really miss it, but at least I can look back fondly on the memories. I actually bought a couple of Keffiyehs and still get compliments 7-8 years later. I loved all the dlc and being able to customize our characters, I'd always play some hot lady and kick ass. Not denying other players made me work for it at times. It was Tubular! One of those few games I could just dominate at, it was serious fun. Pain is still in occasional rotation.īut the multiplayer man. Plus when we were in NY it still felt appropriate. I actually enjoy the diversion from the norm in terms of the setting and storytelling techniques. Plus I love seeing the many countries and cultures of the world, and Brazil is an incredible place. I feel empathetic towards him, the loss, the substance abuse, trying to still survive in a harsh and uncaring world. I just connected with Max on such a personal level, the depressing state of things just hit with me. I agree, it was radical! The story had me hooked from the first second. * Figure of speech - Ass may or may not be big or black Then there's the constant interruption of the action every 5 seconds to watch the Housers shitty writing shoved down your throat just to be forced into a shitty cinematic action moment which swaps out your loadout and makes you immediately orient yourself in a nearly unwinnable slomo piece you have to play out 3-4 times before you figure out what the game wanted you to do to beat it. Seriously, how the fuck you manage to make a Max Payne game with convoluted controls? Over reliance on cover shooting, horrible control setup like every other rockstar game. A huge downgrade from Max 1 and 2's film noir, detective stories with a hint of mind bending Twin Peaks esque elements.Īs for the gameplay, it can be good from time to time but its undone but the whole package. Thanks for posting this, it reminded me how completely devoid of personality or originality this game was since I suffered through it years ago.Ītmosphere and writing are cringe, try hard Man On Fire in videogame form with Houser brother shit characters sprinkled in. I dunno what kinda delusion people suffer when they shit talk this game. Can you imagine doing a bullet time car kill? I can see in my head how it would look, with next gen tech no less. However I would love to get a true Old Man Max story, with improved mechanics such as destructible cover, and perhaps even vehicles. I almost don't want there to be a 4 cuz 3 is a tough act to follow and I feel Max can't really be put through much more.
I didn't like the end the first time but I later learned to absolutely love it.Īs far as we know, Max Payne's story ends with "boy it's dark in some places but it's sunny everywhere else" as Max glances over at the sun before a cut to black.Ībsolutely perfect.
One of the most depressing games ever made but it manages to feel beautiful at the same time. I've had to deal with unexplainable depression throughout my life here and there so it's kind of a love/hate relationship with depressing feelings. How this game kept kicking Max Payne while he was already down was so depressing in the best way possible.
