Fuck me, these games are incredible. They haven't aged a bit. Let's have a Max Payne 1 & 2 appreciation thread. Haven't played 3, so can't really comment on it.
>>388970348
3 is terrible dont play it
>>388970439
Max Payne 3 is even worse than that
I love Max Payne 3
>There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "why me?" and "what if?". When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.
>>388970348
really is one of my favorite games.
also OP, 3 is not terrible, but it's not nearly as good as 1 and 2.
give it a playthrough, but expect the modern handholding and mechanics that are staples in most TPS games.

lmao jesus christ

>>388970568
I enjoyed 3 and felt the technology behind the combat decent enough to forgive its shortcomings
Felt happier about it than I did with 2 on release.
>>388970568
That gif is Max Payne 3 in a nutshell though.

Because you were an old man with poor taste when you played Max Payne 3

Bullet time 2.0 was shit.
3 is a lot of things but i don't know how can anyone can say it's casual, it's definitely the hardest of the trilogy.
>>388971070
Yeah I played Stranglehold recently on the 360. Felt exactly like how Max Payne should have evolved with a Max Payne 3. Just wasn't super crazy about the story
>>388971120
It's smooth as fucking butter compared to your euphoria engine garbage
>>388971150
Due to bad design - kinda like Dark Souls.
I jerked off to the Max Heat TV porno with the woman moaning. I have no shame in admitting this. Great games.

It's not like Max Payne 1 & 2 didn't also have the occasional (sometimes optional) cutscene, but it was the exception as opposed to the rule. I remember in Max Payne 1 the presence of enemies was more often communicated through audio cues (whistling, conversation, television).

Had more to do with what they did with the Max Payne 2 story and the shitty level design thanks to PHYSICS.

is it bad that i only played the mobile ports of mp1 and 2?
>>388971969
If you enjoyed yourself then it's fine.
>>388971261
Smooth as fuck doesn't change the fact that middle aged detective Payne plays more like the Flash with a beretta/
Bullet time 2.0 is just broken.
>>388970348
>Haven't played 3, so can't really comment on it.
it's shit.
Not even made by Remedy
>Love Max Payne
>Love Alan Wake
Would I like Quantom Break? Good characters would be enough to keep me interested.
>>388970348
Who managed to get the alternate ending for Max Payne 2?
>>388970962
I'm not defending it you retard. I said 1 and 2 are better in almost every single way.
I only ever played this on the PS2. Are the PC versions easy to run these days? I don't have a lot of time for fucking around and downloading tons of fan fixes off abandoned websites.
>>388973825
Apparently people have problems but I only ever needed one patch for the first game and I just run them both in compatibility mode.
>>388973825
Also playing them on PC makes a gigantic difference. Definitive versions.
I enjoyed all 3
Wish they would make a 4th, with skippable cutscenes this time
>>388974203
but in 3 the gameplay was the cutscenes
>>388973825
Get the widescreen patches for them, that's it
>>388972170
Better than abusing the fuck out of shootdodges
>>388971969
yes.
>>388974641
>>388973825
the games run fine AND support all resolutions too.
What you will need are the sound-fix patches.
the best looking 2003 game and most oprimized by far
The first games dream sequences where you have to run on the blood trail are some of the worst garbage levels I've played in a 3rd person shooter.
However, the entire rest of the game was great. The cutscenes are actually really good in at least the first game, haven't played 2 or 3.
>>388975601
This
>>388975601
Jon Hamm as Max Payne in Netflix series fucking when?
>>388977035
You should really try 2. It's like 1, only with more budget.
MP 1 & 2 are the best third person shooters. Nothing else even comes close
>>388973138
Pretty much everyone desu, it's not that hard to get.
>>388971809
goddamn i recall pirating 3 and the amount of cutscenes and interruptions was out of this world
>>388978293
I fucking wish
>>388970716
People really shit on it too much here.
