MP3 is epic. The only problem is the unskippable cutscenes preventing me from ever replaying it.

There are a few limitations because they mask load screens though, detailed here.

This is getting more incredible with every update. Though I wonder what the actual level design will be like.

cant recommend the max payne 3 cutscene skip mod enough. it turns the game into a time crisis arcade game thing you can blow through in 2.5 hours

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it, I usually just use my A1200 when playing games but I'm pretty curious so I'm gonna dust off my A500 when the demo is released just to see how it runs on it.

Yeah, I assume there's going to be a dedicated level designer joining the project at some point.

Not a hot take. Both are amazing games and MP1 has Sam Lake's face to back up that.

I loved Max Payne 1&2, I lost my physical copies years ago but I think I bought both off steam sale years ago.

I’ll try this fix, I don’t even mind running it at locked 30fps if it means less crashes- may even give it more of a noir film vibe.

Why not just have divisions and relegation and throw gender-based leagues out? I am not a deep thinker but that seems to make sense to me. Anyway, Early FPS Games are fun.

One thing I appreciate about MP2 is that Max isn't as liable to get OHKOed by a shotgun from the other side of the room.

But yeah, the escort missions are unforgivable.

I think the whole series balances out. MP2 comes with ragdolls and fancy effects to make the gameplay fun, makes up for the slightly weaker story. MP3 has the weakest story but comes with Rockstar's godly animations and Euphoria physics, making the gameplay the most satisfying imo

Yeah Max Payne 2 has that annoying escort section buuuut I dig the Twin Peaks parody TV show, the ragdolling and leaning more into noir than the first game. Voice acting too, James McCaffrey sounds monotone and bored during Max Payne 1, but in 2 and 3 he sounds broken and fits the hardboiled detective edge better.

Funnily enough, I feel Max Payne 3 has the best difficulty out of all of the games, the first game gets stupidly hard towards the end and often unfairly so while outside of the escort mission Max Payne 2 is really easy.

This is the problem with adaptive difficulty. If you quickload all your deaths, the game just thinks you're unstoppable and ramps the difficulty up throughout

For somebody whose first bedroom PC (that I could call my OWN) was kind of a piece of poo poo that still had a turbo button and trouble running certain games, I was completely blown away by how well Max Payne 2 ran and looked on my PC. It will always have a spot in my heart.

Really didn’t like the aesthetics of that reload animation though.

As annoying as it sometimes is, it's funny whenever in MP3 you try to do a dive and end up eating poo poo because you collided with a wall or a railing or something.
