Today’s game is Max Payne. I’ve had this for a while and with how much Alan Wake II takes from Max Payne i thought it would be appropriate to at least visit it.
At first i tried playing with controller and struggled, but i found that once i switched to PC it became far more natural. The Bullet Time mechanic is satisfying to use, and the story scratches an itch which only L.A. Noire seemed to hit up until this point in time. On top of that i love the setting. I love big cities and especially during the winter. Not to mention i love the graphics retro graphics of it.
On top of that, I finally got 100% on Alan Wake 1 today! I went through and got all the collectibles and the misc achievements. It took going through almost the entire game again but by basically speedrunning it i did it.
Damn, I played to it like, decades ago, and I still was able to instantaneously recognize the game. Never finished it though.
Max Payne 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It’s the only game I ever finished, then beat 2-3 more times in succession on increasing difficulties just to get a different ending.
Max Payne is a great series. while i first experienced it late in my lifetime, i still found enjoyment in the series. it kick-started my fascination with Remedy’s games as well as my fandom towards HEALTH, who composed the score for MP3.
i do think MP3 is a bit underrated, given the reception it had initially.
I love this game. I loved the Bullet Time feature, and the overall plot was really good. I forget if it’s this one or MP2 that I played as a kid… >!There’s some woman who is following us around, we are also trying to seek revenge for the dead family or something…!<
