      This game was as close to the "Matrix" experience we were looking for as teens in the 2000's so it's really a game of its own, in its own era. Now games are too formulaic to garner any attention when they deviate from the formulas that sell, and it's a cycle that feeds into itself as bigger companies took down independents with a vision and creative control. Now it's all screened, censored, watered-down of its original intent, and delivered to the public as a triple-A game worth 80 - 120 dollars pre-order with or without the DLC. Nothing new under the sun.

    This was great to see. Sam Lake hasnt aged a bit since the first game. Then theres the legendary James McCaffrey with that voice that just never really changes and is instantly recognizable.

      To be honest, McCaffrey's voice did change a bit over the years. Noticeable if you compare MP1 to MP3. Still hella iconic, though, no argument there.

      @@ChadVulpes It’s not so much that his voice changed, more like the “standard” on voice acting did. You gotta understand, when MP1 came out, video games were still regarded as kid toys, or for nerds and losers.
      By the time MP2 came out, everyone was trying to be as story driven and cinematic as possible, thus required a little more flair compared to how MP in 1, spoke.

    Way too sad news to hear about James' lost battle with cancer. He made the character, he is the character... nobody will ever be able to truly replace him in his role, he was too iconic. Just like Michael Ironside with Sam Fisher or David Bateson as Agent 47.

    James McCaffrey passed away today after a battle with Cancer. I can't even begin to explain how much his work influenced me on such a deep and personal level. So of course, I feel compelled to try anyway.
    James McCaffrey's talent, alongside Sam Lake's dark, poetic writing style, gave life to a brooding character and world of substance. A story with depth and deep philosophical musings. Max Payne. A character and story that has brought such richness and meaning to my life. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to join Max on his vengeful, bitter and tragic journey over the years.
    Rest in peace McCaffrey, or is it Max? May your family and loved ones always remember, and the world never forget, your undeniable talent in bringing complex and engaging characters to life for all to enjoy. I know I never will.
