The AI in Max Payne 3 is generally really smart, but sometimes it can make very, very bad decisions.

It's an unlockable skin. It's actually Max from the Gameboy Advance game, which is a real thing that exists!

And for what it is, actually really good!

I will take your word for it, the gbas d-pad seems very very very very very very very very bad for anything involving three dimensional movement

The Max Payne GBA game is so much better than anyone could've possibly imagined. I love it because it's such a perfect time capsule of what it was like to have a game on multiple platforms back in that era. The PS2 version of Max Payne had to completely redo the saving/loading/checkpoint system because it was much more cumbersome for the player to save/load than on PC, not to mention the memory card data storage structure. And then you have stuff like the GBA game where they literally completely remade the game just to sell it on another platform, making it the same game but a totally different experience. Developers just don't do that stuff anymore and I find it a really neat relic of the past.

Perfect Dark for the Game Boy Colour was a top-down isometric Metal Gear-esque shooter so utterly, completely different from the N64 game as to be unrecognizable. It also had a weird lumpy cartridge with an integrated rumble pack and a genuinely distressing death scream whenever you died.

The game also worked with the gameboy printer and the Gameboy to N64 transfer pack so the thing was hilariously over engineered for what it was. It also probably has the second hardest tutorial after the first Driver and despite the difficulty the tutorial doesnt teach you how to play the first thing you do in the actual game.

I believe the first Ecks vs Sever was based on a script, so it wasn’t inspired by the actual movie itself. That probably changed for the sequel, even if the movie ended up being a dud (I described it once with “no one had fun during the making of this movie, not even the on-set caterer”).

Yeah, there were a lot of problems with the balance of wildlife and undead, and undead carp were some of the worst offenders in either category. There's the aforementioned notion that it used to be that any skill could give a unit stat buffs, including swimming, and fish for some reason exercised swimming skill so any persistent fish unit could get hella buff (which is a quirk I hadn't recalled). There's also the fact that bite attacks were at one time hellaciously unbalanced; I think that they were using the material strength of apatite and the strength of the attacker without regard to the fact that teeth are small, imperfect weapons inside of a mouth instead of being like a giant ivory polearm, so you'd routinely get bite attacks tearing off limbs of larger creatures and such. Carp also had slightly buff stats to begin with, to reflect their status as hellfish. All of this was made much, much worse if the carp became undead; undead things don't need to breathe, so yes, undead aquatic creatures would happily struggle onto land and flop after the living. Undead were EXTREMELY hardy for a long portion of the game's life, too; blunt damage and piercing damage were mostly useless in destroying undead, because you had to hack them apart, with decapitation being (usually) treated as an instant kill. So these mega carp with hellteeth would come flopping and wiggling up from the depths in search of the blood of the living, which they would reap in spades thanks to their small freakish teeth capable of severing a man's arm in a single bite.

This whole balance problem lead to other issues as well. Most famous is that elephants, prevalent in the game's earliest builds, were appropriately terrifying combat monsters due to their massive size, but they could still fit into dwarven tunnels or stack infinitely into a cubic meter of space. A fun lesser known example is the undead sponge. Occasionally, the same conditions that could lead to a fort being infested with hardy undead carp could also generate undead sponges. This leads to a problem. The sponge, being relatively slow and sessile and possessing no limbs, was not an especially dangerous combatant. Possessed with the mighty ability to inch onto land, sponges mostly just terrified dwarves into uselessness, and your military would happily leap in to begin combat with the threat. However, remember how I said undead needed to be hacked apart, and sponges have no limbs? That's right. For a while, undead sponges were completely immortal. Just these...cthonic heaps of undying flesh that were vaguely threatening and couldn't be hammered or axed or sworded for poo poo. I suppose you could use a Dwarven Atom Smasher (A drawbridge happily makes anything under it cease to exist), but that would require the presence of mind to set one up beforehand, because your dwarves would put on their best Ernest T. Judd and flee in terror from these horrible creeping sponges otherwise.

I'm very late on this, but this is incredible. An invasion of immortal, terrifying, but mostly harmless creatures that clog up your land and troops! Can this kind of outcome be called emergent gameplay if it's single player?
