You're probably baiting, Anon, but for anyone genuinely concerned: Max Payne 1 and 2 were released first on PC. The PS2 and Xbox ports came later.
The issues the games present are due to them being designed for Windows XP or 98 idk and contemporary libraries, which have broken or middling support on modern machines. That's why fanpatches are needed.

Not so broken as ueshit 5 games like robocop god fucking dammit what the fuck do the last update?
Man comes home from work to hear his infant daughter and wife get murdered by junkies on supermeth.
Years later, man discovers that the junkies were dropped off there on the orders of a company because the wife had discovered some papers that proved the company's involvement with the drug they were on.
And now, if not before, his revenge was justified on any conceivable moral scale.

It says obsession is bad moreso than Revenge is Bad. Obsession and inability to cope with trauma leads to wanting revenge, that’s the point of Part 2. You love someone so much you’ll do unspeakable things for them. REVENGE IS BAD is a shortsighted surface level analysis that only morons say, cause the game shouldn’t be viewed thru a revenge lens as Revenge only moves the plot forward and is not part of the key thematic takeaways. It’s a Sequel, not a stand alone title
Druckmann literally wrote the story after hearing news from his West Bank settlement that some IDF troops got killed by Palestinians so he wanted to airstrike a Palestinian kids hospital in revenge before realizing that revenge is bad actually so he wrote TLOU2. This is not a joke except for the kids hospital thing which is hyperbole but you know what I mean
“Revenge is bad actually,” the actual quote was more nuanced than that reductive bullshit. REVENGE BAD will never be a valid take because of how surface level it is to the point it becomes meaningless. Go fuck yourself you refuse to engage in the thing you’re shitting on so you regurgitate misinformed nonsense

Alex Casey model looks fuckin great in Alan Wake 2, and Max Payne voice still sounds great, they only have to make the face model a bit younger which is very easy to do and it's all set for the remake. I hope Sam Lake's face is the default but even if it isn't they probably gonna give a option that you can choose, Remedy and Sam Lake really care about the Max Payne IP.

Fun blast with 1 and 2, definitely more fast-paced. Three is remarkably slower but it's a neat point-and-click adventure game.
If only it wasn't stained by the curse of unskippable cutscenes. Thank god for Arcade mode being infinitely more fun.
Are the cutscenes that bad and is the story bad enough to warrant using the cutscene skip mod on a first playthrough?

very fun game, got a lot more fun once I figured how to fix the broken difficulty and stopped getting 1 shot by a pistol from across the level

and I was looking forward to 3 but I see people rag on the cutscenes A LOT
The cutscenes are great if you're invested in the story, and the writing itself is legitimately good, it feels way more natural and engaging than 99% of other cutscenes (I say this is someone that hates story-based games).
It's absolutely worth playing despite the excessive cutscene interupption. The cutscenes can be annoying, yes, but the gameplay is so good it's worth putting up with.

Does turrets segments are really rare, don't last long and are only there to give a bit of variety, they are far from bad.
The writing is different, somewhat worse but it also makes sense if you can accept Max brain became stupider and bitter as he grew old on booze and painkiller addiction.
Gameplay wise people who call Max Payne 3 bad are fuckin retarded, it's one of the best third person shooters to date, it isn't as fast as 1 and 2 which I still prefer their gameplay but it shoots, sounds and animates great, which is funny because GTA V and RDR2 gameplay that both came later was garbage.

id be really fucking concerned if you tried to peddle me a shooter where the shooting felt like shit, the combat felt like ice cold piss. VERY CONCERNED. >the entire game boils down to doing a single slow shootdodge and clicking on all heads in the room during it
youll abusing teh shit out of 'shootdodge' in MP1 when you're playing Hard Boiled and Dead on Arrival, and quicksaving every 5 minutes. which is already evident in the initial playthrough since you're punished for playing well.
>with you shifting through a shitload of weapons
nearly every gun in the original is utilitarian in its design, you almost never need to swap weapons besides being out of ammo. which for the best guns, they hand out ammo like candy.
>when Rockstar makes a "game" where you run 20 feet straight in a hallway, watch a cutscene, run 20 feet straight in another hallway and shoot some Hispanics, then watch another cutsene
yet the original 2 are completely guilty of this and nobody seems to shit themselves for some reason.
just finished MP1 yesterday and that doesn't happen at all
doubly so since there's a lot of small cutscenes that you specifically have to react with something to start it, but you can just pass it if you want
>just finished MP1 yesterday and that doesn't happen at all
it fucking does. literally the intro demonstrates it, the preceding levels do too. it might not have as many cutscenes as 3. but its certainly a lot for a fucking 2001 game, especially 2, which is shorter and the cutscenes occur more frequently.
so you get spergs like

who must be completely out of touch with Max Payne, let alone the first, because it's cinematic qualities is WHAT ITS FUCKING KNOWN FOR. so they ignore total dogshit aspects in the original. like the horrendous nightmare sequences where you just walk and do platforming, an aspect of the game almost universally criticized and is completely out of place within a shooter.
oh look MP1 inventing walking sequences in action games before Sony pioneered it!
or write even more embarrassing shit like: > if you see someone praising the houser's writing in that game it's a sure sign you're talking to a complete retard
but completely ignore Sam Lake inserting sci fi elements in original with Valkr being intended to make super soldiers. an aspect so bizarrely hamfisted in a neo noir inspired game that its barely even touches upon scifi related shit in the sequels and they almost disregard the subplot in 2 and make it a much more grounded game.
everybody who shits on MP3, has a clear bias against it for shit the original 2 games did.

MP1 has a trend of like 15 minute gameplay segments followed by ~2 minute cutscenes, maybe sometimes ~3-5. Meanwhile MP3 is 10 minutes of gameplay followed by 10 minutes of cutscenes. I'm not trying to hyperbole, it really is that bad in MP3. But it's still a good game, just not a great Max Payne game.
just finished my first playthrough of mp1 yesterday

Even if he did forgive her, he should have killed her regardless. There is no good in Horne. There is no world, universe or timeline where a person like Horne would miraculously see the error in their ways and not keep building up their drug empire at the expense of innocent families like Payne's. Max killed dozens of people on his quest to get to her, and many of those people were probably better than Horne. So what's one more kill?
Max will monologue poetic stuff in his head on the spot like this, while also saying the most cheesy shit like >Your rights will be read at your funeral
>In a weird way, shutting down the airport for their escape was a weird sort of.... compliment. But one I didn't need.
Man, the dialogue in this game is so fucking good. I don't care if people hate the endless cutscenes, the writing itself is amazing.

I just finished Max Payne 1&2 a few days ago, kino games but after always hearing how much of a masterpiece 2 is I guess I set my expectations way too high cause in a lot of cases it felt kinda weaker compared to 1. While 1 isn't a paragon of level design, there's still some memorable and varied scenes and geometry, while 2 just felt like industrial complex building building building. Felt like it didn't have as many nice quotes and writing compared to 1 too, I loved the constant metaphors Max would use and iconic lines like "fear gives men wings" during the Vinnie chase, while 2 seemed to lessen them a lot and the story kinda meandered about doing nothing much till the end of chapter 2. I like the romance between Max and Mona and understand he's more washed up in 2 but still, I guess it just didn't feel as charming or like that masterpiece it was made out to be. Still a great game, but I think 1 was a lot better
Since I've had the same view of the two games (with the upside of no preconceived notions due to them being new.), I would say 2 becomes a bit more nice when you think that Address Unknown is the actual narrative throughline of the game, which it revolves around.
alright you guys are stalking me, i just beat max payne 1 on the highest difficulty and now this thread appears
anyway mp1 is shit on the hardest difficulty
my biggest issue is that 90% of the time your crosshair does not line up with your actual aim
its usually above or below the crosshair and you just kinda need to figure out what situations causes your actual aim to shift
for example: having the crosshair on the guys head from a moderate distance away and the berretta or deagle wont hit anything unless i aim roughly a head height above his head and hope the random spread isnt bad
this highlighted the fact that most of the weapons are not at all tuned for the higher difficulties -- they all have shit accuracy and you dont get the good weapons (assault rifle, sniper) until like half way into the game
couple this with the fact that and enemies are very lethal even from afar (even with shotguns) and its just a bad time

I'm
and I was looking forward to 3 but I see people rag on the cutscenes A LOT
The cutscenes are great if you're invested in the story, and the writing itself is legitimately good, it feels way more natural and engaging than 99% of other cutscenes (I say this is someone that hates story-based games).
It's absolutely worth playing despite the excessive cutscene interupption. The cutscenes can be annoying, yes, but the gameplay is so good it's worth putting up with.
>The cutscenes are great if you're invested in the story, and the writing itself is legitimately good,
SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT AMERICANS, BUT WE UNDERSTAND CAPITALISM
Max Payne 3 is not anti-capitalism.
It's anti-Brazilian corrupt scumbag psycho bullshit
This quote had literally nothing to do with anti capitalism. How /misc/ mindbroken do you need to be to think every reference to capitalism in media is a criticism?
the cutscenes are fine the first time through, the story is embarassing dogshit though. if you see someone praising the houser's writing in that game it's a sure sign you're talking to a complete retard. that's not even scratching the surface of how terrible rockstar's game design is on top of that. every single creative decision rockstar made regarding the gameplay formula is for the worse. I'm talking 'fixed turret sections' level of hack incompetence. it's pretty though and the shooting feels nice so all the retards just ignore that it's the definition of a movie game that plays itself half the time. again, if you see someone praising this game's design, you're talking to a complete retard.
>fixed turret sections
well that's alarming
I guess I'll give it a shot with them on
is the writing at least similar to the first 2 in that "campy but earnest" way or is it just bad bad?
No, the writing is utter dogshit.
Writing is different to 1 and 2 but i wouldn't call it worse
Does turrets segments are really rare, don't last long and are only there to give a bit of variety, they are far from bad.
The writing is different, somewhat worse but it also makes sense if you can accept Max brain became stupider and bitter as he grew old on booze and painkiller addiction.
Gameplay wise people who call Max Payne 3 bad are fuckin retarded, it's one of the best third person shooters to date, it isn't as fast as 1 and 2 which I still prefer their gameplay but it shoots, sounds and animates great, which is funny because GTA V and RDR2 gameplay that both came later was garbage.
>it's one of the best third person shooters to date
no it isnt
muh feel is not what makes a game good. the entire game boils down to doing a single slow shootdodge and clicking on all heads in the room during it
>uhh achkhually thats how it always was
it most certainly wasnt because the first 2 were way more arcadey with you shifting through a shitload of weapons and shootdodge wasnt nearly as strong as it is in MP3 with its more "realistic" damage values
>shootdodge wasnt nearly as strong
shootdodge is the only reason I made it through part 1 with the bugged out max difficulty on mp1
it's not strong, it's essential
>max payne 1 and 2 boils boils down to doing a single slow shootdodge and clicking on all heads in the room during it
you can meme the same thing about the other games and your statement still means nothing
>muh feel is not what makes a game good
but it does.
id be really fucking concerned if you tried to peddle me a shooter where the shooting felt like shit, the combat felt like ice cold piss. VERY CONCERNED.
>the entire game boils down to doing a single slow shootdodge and clicking on all heads in the room during it
youll abusing teh shit out of 'shootdodge' in MP1 when you're playing Hard Boiled and Dead on Arrival, and quicksaving every 5 minutes. which is already evident in the initial playthrough since you're punished for playing well.
>with you shifting through a shitload of weapons
nearly every gun in the original is utilitarian in its design, you almost never need to swap weapons besides being out of ammo. which for the best guns, they hand out ammo like candy.
>when Rockstar makes a "game" where you run 20 feet straight in a hallway, watch a cutscene, run 20 feet straight in another hallway and shoot some Hispanics, then watch another cutsene
yet the original 2 are completely guilty of this and nobody seems to shit themselves for some reason.
>yet the original 2 are completely guilty of this and nobody seems to shit themselves for some reason.
They aren't.
because they havent played it in over a decade
just finished MP1 yesterday and that doesn't happen at all
doubly so since there's a lot of small cutscenes that you specifically have to react with something to start it, but you can just pass it if you want
>just finished MP1 yesterday and that doesn't happen at all
it fucking does. literally the intro demonstrates it, the preceding levels do too. it might not have as many cutscenes as 3. but its certainly a lot for a fucking 2001 game, especially 2, which is shorter and the cutscenes occur more frequently.
so you get spergs like
>every single creative decision rockstar made regarding the gameplay formula is for the worse. I'm talking 'fixed turret sections' level of hack incompetence. it's pretty though and the shooting feels nice so all the retards just ignore that it's the definition of a movie game that plays itself half the time
who must be completely out of touch with Max Payne, let alone the first, because it's cinematic qualities is WHAT ITS FUCKING KNOWN FOR. so they ignore total dogshit aspects in the original. like the horrendous nightmare sequences where you just walk and do platforming, an aspect of the game almost universally criticized and is completely out of place within a shooter.
oh look MP1 inventing walking sequences in action games before Sony pioneered it!
or write even more embarrassing shit like:
> if you see someone praising the houser's writing in that game it's a sure sign you're talking to a complete retard
but completely ignore Sam Lake inserting sci fi elements in original with Valkr being intended to make super soldiers. an aspect so bizarrely hamfisted in a neo noir inspired game that its barely even touches upon scifi related shit in the sequels and they almost disregard the subplot in 2 and make it a much more grounded game.
everybody who shits on MP3, has a clear bias against it for shit the original 2 games did.
it really doesn't
yes there's cutscenes at the beginning and end of each chapter but there's few mid-chapter cutscenes
I'm still going to give MP3 a fair shot but having cutscenes in between fights already sounds like a lot of cutscenes
if you dont like it, there's a cutscene skip mod
MP1 has a trend of like 15 minute gameplay segments followed by ~2 minute cutscenes, maybe sometimes ~3-5. Meanwhile MP3 is 10 minutes of gameplay followed by 10 minutes of cutscenes. I'm not trying to hyperbole, it really is that bad in MP3. But it's still a good game, just not a great Max Payne game.
2 GUNS
this isnt a criticism. but people pissing and moaning about weapon limits is a surefire way to detect NPCs.
Well, please Mr. Main Character. Enlighten us why carry limit is so good
max payne 3 is legit the greatest third person shooter ever made. but the first two just ooze soul in a way that will never be matched
third is more of a generic r* slop, while first 2 has that eurosovl feel to it.

And where's Jorgito???
just finished my first playthrough of mp1 yesterday
very fun game, got a lot more fun once I figured how to fix the broken difficulty and stopped getting 1 shot by a pistol from across the level
playing mp2 now and then I think I'm gonna replay 1 with the FPS mod before starting on 3
Fun blast with 1 and 2, definitely more fast-paced. Three is remarkably slower but it's a neat point-and-click adventure game.
If only it wasn't stained by the curse of unskippable cutscenes. Thank god for Arcade mode being infinitely more fun.
Wait until sam lake fuck its up in the remake, that drama school really fucked him
He should've had a moment of clarity and forgive her. Revenge just isn't the answer you bravado-brained idiots.
that's rich coming from mom's basement Ganker dweller
Even if he did forgive her, he should have killed her regardless. There is no good in Horne. There is no world, universe or timeline where a person like Horne would miraculously see the error in their ways and not keep building up their drug empire at the expense of innocent families like Payne's. Max killed dozens of people on his quest to get to her, and many of those people were probably better than Horne. So what's one more kill?
Max will monologue poetic stuff in his head on the spot like this, while also saying the most cheesy shit like
>Your rights will be read at your funeral
>revenge isnt an answer because... it just isnt ok?
so dumb, Im gonna kill everyone you love and see how you react to it idiot
What's your favorite Payne-ism?
>I'd been sitting at the bar for about three hours or about five years, depending on how you looked at things
>I might have written the book on bad ideas, but Passos wasn't afraid to quote from it
For all it's faults, 3 is just chock-full of great quotes
>You'll walk...with a limp!
>In a weird way, shutting down the airport for their escape was a weird sort of.... compliment. But one I didn't need.
Man, the dialogue in this game is so fucking good. I don't care if people hate the endless cutscenes, the writing itself is amazing.
>Picks up painkillers
>"If I was going to lose the boss's wife and sister-in law, I might as well do it medicated."
>"A little consolation prize on having my assault on the free bar cut short."
>"I heard these soccer players weren't good with pain"
>"If it was good enough for a professional athlete, it was good enough for me."
>"I was in a cocaine factory but I'd stick to the depressants."
>"I'm a self righteous pain in the ass, but I'm not above embezzling office supplies."
>"I'd have felt worse for taking someone's medication if everybody in that place weren't trying to kill me."
>"They had their body armour; I had mine."
>"Breakfast of champions."
>"The spoils of a desperate man."
>"Special forces painkillers."
>"Airports always made me nervous."
>"The goons were all on marching powder, so why not medicate?"
>"Odds were I wasn't going to be alive much longer, so why not get a buzz on?"
>"Luckily, I wasn't the only cop with a pill problem."
>"Saying goodbye is painful."
>"I meant to end this how I began it. Heavily medicated."

Hard as fuck

That one is really good

RHETORICAL QUESTION
nah that would be Ruina
hopefully they never piss on it by bringing Roland back in a sequel
I'm keking at all these retards trying to analyze lake's drivel as it being some piece of fine literature
Okay be honest with me now - was MaxPayne supposed to be a Punisher videogame at some point, or is it just me noticing things again?
Nope
No, but the murder of wife and child was 100% taken from Punisher. The game takes inspiration from Hong Kong cinema
Punisher was never big here in Finland, in any capacity. It's just a coincidence in the end.
Me? I can't wait when muslims start chopping the heads of kuffar /misc/fags lmao
they will be "BUT I SUPPORTED YOU DURING GAZ-ACK!" while the "based woke-proof" muslimchads don't even speak or understand english
I am from Croatia, being muslim is illegal here.
REMOVE KEBAB
>there's no noir in brazil
city of god
Guts from Berserk and Dimitri Three Houses both have it worse IMHO
Guts still cant murder griffith and put a sad ahegao face when it appear as griffith
They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point.
I released my finger from the trigger, and then it was over.
I think there’s better games overall but to me MP1 is the greatest game ever made
IT'S PAYNE
WHACK HIM!
I just finished Max Payne 1&2 a few days ago, kino games but after always hearing how much of a masterpiece 2 is I guess I set my expectations way too high cause in a lot of cases it felt kinda weaker compared to 1. While 1 isn't a paragon of level design, there's still some memorable and varied scenes and geometry, while 2 just felt like industrial complex building building building. Felt like it didn't have as many nice quotes and writing compared to 1 too, I loved the constant metaphors Max would use and iconic lines like "fear gives men wings" during the Vinnie chase, while 2 seemed to lessen them a lot and the story kinda meandered about doing nothing much till the end of chapter 2. I like the romance between Max and Mona and understand he's more washed up in 2 but still, I guess it just didn't feel as charming or like that masterpiece it was made out to be. Still a great game, but I think 1 was a lot better
the bigger the budget, the smaller the soul
Since I've had the same view of the two games (with the upside of no preconceived notions due to them being new.), I would say 2 becomes a bit more nice when you think that Address Unknown is the actual narrative throughline of the game, which it revolves around.
alright you guys are stalking me, i just beat max payne 1 on the highest difficulty and now this thread appears
anyway mp1 is shit on the hardest difficulty
my biggest issue is that 90% of the time your crosshair does not line up with your actual aim
its usually above or below the crosshair and you just kinda need to figure out what situations causes your actual aim to shift
for example: having the crosshair on the guys head from a moderate distance away and the berretta or deagle wont hit anything unless i aim roughly a head height above his head and hope the random spread isnt bad
this highlighted the fact that most of the weapons are not at all tuned for the higher difficulties -- they all have shit accuracy and you dont get the good weapons (assault rifle, sniper) until like half way into the game
couple this with the fact that and enemies are very lethal even from afar (even with shotguns) and its just a bad time
John Mirror came to mock me in the bathroom mirra.
Should I play vanilla Max Payne 1 or are there any must have mods?
Just patches to get it working
Is the kung fu mod any good? I've seen it mentioned in some Max Payne threads.
You'll need the sound fix. Widescreen if you want (I'm too lazy to bother)
