talk about Max Payne or Sam Lake in this thread
quantum break was good. remedy really loves construction sites for videogame levels though.
Thatâs eery. Just been playing the first one. I thought the faces looked so fake, but if thatâs his face then itâs closer than I thought.

The cemetary where his family is buried is called Golgotha Cemetary and itâs where the old max of exaggerated dark environments with inclement weather is last seen before he is reborn in the southern hemisphere as mp3 max to expel the organ merchants from the temple. rockstar wanted to bring max into a more real-ish world and they thought âhow does someone continue to endure the kind of suffering max does and not crack up and eat a gunâ so who better to model max off of than the champeen of suffering himself jesus christ
and also the unabomber

one time I played the co-op horde mode in 3 and I couldnât be killed and finally I got bored and quit and then I saw that if I would of stuck it out a handful of rounds more me and the guy I was playing with would of been number 1 on the world ranking thing, for a while anyway

Max Payne is a series begging for some kind of extended dissertation. Everyone remembers âoh that game was the best,â but it never comes up when people are talking about best games because it has all these weird little design decisions that are orthogonal to whatâs been since codified as âgood design.â
I feel a little sorry for Sam Lake though. I mean I dunno what he does with his time but itâs gotta be annoying to just be known as That Guy 20 years running.

Iâm sad that the PC multiplayer never took off for Max Payne 3. I really liked it but now I am remembering that it was super buggy and I can see that being offputting to a lot of people at the time.
3 is one of the most mechanically satisfying shooters I can think of off the top of the dome, but on a first run the sheer amount of cutscene breakup can really chafe.
Itâs like Rockstar took all the interstitial exploratory poking and light platforming of the first 2 and slurried them into mini cutscene buffers.

Iâm very interested in Quantum Break but I donât have any sort of system that could run it. New computer is still at least 6 months out money savings-wise
The prolouge to chapter 2 is trippy as hell.
Also running along the baby blood line made me wonder what a speed run of this game would look like?

Max Payne is a game I always meant to play, but never got around to. Now it has been to long. Yay for bullet-time. Nothing is more fun than shooting in slow-mo.
So the start of chapter two âbaseball batâ almost forces you to jank the game. First real part of the game that fell apart for me.
some day Iâm going to get to the bottom of this conspiracy on why starting at the tail end of the ps3 era games suddenly switched to having knock off versions of guns
i have never played a max payne so whoever wants me to give them my body in exchange for the whole series
iâll buy you one an two for dat ass.
Oh man I remember this bit, fuck this bit.
Watching a video of it reminded me how hilariously huge the doors are.
Also I want to play all these games again.
EDIT: lol
