Two things I want to mention after watching the third video:

1. They actually do have the same voice actor as before for Max Payne; they wanted to dump James McCaffrey for a new guy during development, but relented and brought him back in. He sounds a little different not only from age, but also because he has a chance to add some more emotion and better inflection to the dialogue instead of a constant monologue monotone.

2. You forgot to bring it up about the mercenaries, but they've actually got working body armor that lessens bullet damage.

The game is less tied to being utterly noir (though mostly, it is a pretty noir feeling game, despite being soaked in bright light and sun half the time) and is better for it.

Special Challenge: Max's only mode of non-scripted transport is slo-mo supermanning.

I thought this was just the way you were supposed to play the game, by flinging your body through the air to where you need to go, occasionally smacking Max's head and shoulders into a wall.

I know it's blasphemous, but I enjoy it more than the previous two in terms of gameplay. It has just enough realism (like the weapon system and body armor) to be challenging without losing the over the top, cinematic feel. And I like that they try to bring Max's characterization out of the "grimdark noir monotone" of the past games without really changing his personality.

You pretty much nailed one of the main reasons i absolutely adore this game.

I don't think I'll ever stop loving or playing Max Payne 3. As great as Remedy Entertainment is, Rockstar brought a lot of good to the series.

Plus, Euphoria may be at its best with the death animations in this game. It's just so goddamn fun to kill people, and I'm not sure if I'll regret typing that sentence in the future.

Max Pane 3 is definitely my favorite shoot-mans game from last generation. I'm an avid fan of the series and this game didn't disappoint at all. Terribly underrated.

In this episode I try something a bit different so I can Get away with not using the original commentary track that wound up being too offensive for even my tastes get around the fact that I totally 100% legitimately lost the original commentary.

Edit: Just want apologize for some audio hiccups in there. All commentary was done first try.

It definitely couldn't be that first thing, because I'm not sure something could possibly be too offensive for you. :v: Also, I'd have to call for the original commentary out of morbid curiosity. (Except not really, because it must be horrid.)

This video is pretty classy, though. I feel like I should have worn a monocle while watching it.

This inspired me to grab it for the PC (I already own and beat it on the 360 twice).

Oh, during the second level someone mentioned the balaclavas "suddenly" appearing on the guys. It's hard to see, but as soon as the signal is given the guy next to Marcelo tugs it down over his head just before the camera cuts. They're all wearing them like caps and then pull them down for the raid.

I've got to say that I don't have much hate for the rail-shooter section, if only because the docks right before it were probably my least favorite section of the game, and anything moving away from that is an improvement. Given how hard this game was on hard going through the first time, it is kind of crazy to me that there are a full 2 difficulties past it.

Try it on the hardest difficulty like I did. I actually rage quit the docks and completed it the next day.
