It's more addicting than the coke that fool, Marcello, had been snorting in a line that lead straight to a pile of tires, beckoning him to hop inside. In a better light of common sense I guess it's metaphorical non-sense from some angry gringo with a sense for poetic justice done wrong. But that's not the first thing I've done so horribly wrong, so I've already dug myself a bigger hole than the one in my second favorite drinking arm, that I couldn't crawl out of. Just like everything else I've experienced. To put it bluntly, there's a word that people like you call people like us, "failures."
Personally I thought the first 2 were better. The third one just seemed like your usual upbeat 3rd person shooter game. It wasn't as dark and gloomy as the first two which is why I liked them. Although it was definitely a good game though.
Totally agree. I think its easily the best of the 3, and it is a masterpiece. People should play all 3 today, the 2nd one still holds up well, but the 3rd is just amazing.
"Always asking myself if i should keep the last bullet for myself, yet somehow i end up changing the clip before that bullet comes...An endless cycle - this is limbo and i am here to stay."
No its actually good, you fucking suck if you think this game is bad, rockstar invested a lot of time and money in it only to become a super underrated game
The man had asked me the question I'd been dreading, the question I'd been asking myself for years. I thought back to better days, the good old days, where we complained about Max Payne 2. Things just didn't seem the same now. I guess that's just the way things go. I stared at the comment section in disbelief and began to type my reply. Anyone could tell it was insufficient and dodged the question, but I was hoping that a clever parody of something relevant would stop them calling me out on that. I hit reply, and everything went quiet.
I'd say the gameplay is where the game excel's creating shootout scenes only matched by Jon Woo. It's really fun jumping through a door and hitting every head in the room before hitting the ground.
Seb Sebster This game was an absolute masterpiece and a worthy sequel. If people didn't like the South American setting I can understand, but that doesn't make it a bad game. Besides the gameplay is holy shit everything one could want from Max Payne.
***** Actually it's the direct opposite of a spiritual successor. A spiritual successor has the same style and design, but a different story and characters (ex Dark Souls and Demon Souls). Max Payne 2 has the same story, but a different style to it (they traded the Noir setting for an action film setting).
"The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it. But it’s like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off. " Max Payne
There is a dialogue referencing a broken mirror. I forgot the dialogue but I remember the impression it left. I don't remember if it was, "the truth is like a broken mirror" or if it was, "the past is a broken mirror" It was something like. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, the image keeps shifting. But once you piece it together, it'll set you free ... Or something.. darn the dialogues were strong back then.
Manhunt 3 will probably never happen unfortunately. The graphics would probably make it a nightmare for the censor boards, and might garner too much negative publicity for Rockstar. Plus Rockstar has been moving away from their controversy days of hot coffee mods and Manhunt
I totally understand what you mean, If you haven't played the game yet its okay, at the end of the game, he basically starts fresh and is finally done mourning and accepts his past. the game ended on a really satisfying note for me as it really showed max finally happy and a hopeful outlook on life.
@@Berserker1041 poor max went through fucking hell and basically has seen it all. there is just too much evil and it can only be solved by a bit of forced and aggressive served justice
It was through the line "They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over..." when I heard your voice for the first time (first I played "Max Payne" with spanish dubbing and later with the original voice cast). It's a shame cancer is still taking lives specially lives like yours. Rest in peace, James, and thank you for giving us awesome moments while listening to your performance as Max...
I want to give due credit to James McCaffrey(voice actor max in all 3 games) for making us fall in love with Max Payne voice... Such a motivational voice.
Rest in Peace James McCaffrey, legendary voice for a legendary character. “There it was, the soundtrack to my life, and, for a few seconds, came harmony, finally.”
Rest in Peace James McCaffrey. Thanks for the best memories! We will miss you. Here's some his quotes: "They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over." ""But Dreams Have A Nasty Habit Of Going Bad When You're Not Looking." "The More You Run, The Deeper, More Terrible It Grows Behind You, Its Edges Yawning At Your Heels." "I Ain't Slipping Man. I'm Slipped."
7 years ago playing this: "Damn this game good and Max sound so badass and hardcore. A lone wolf crippling with depression with no actual future. 7 years later, I relocate to a new place, no family, friends left, my dad pass away. Just my mother & I. Alone, depressed, not yet graduate, nearly 1 year unemployed. I totally relate to Max Payne now.
Run into a South American guy at a Bar who says he remembers you from the Police academy and then take up his offer to become a bodyguard for a billionaire and his family and then uncover a conspiracy about an organ harvesting ring going down in Sao Paulo being ringled by your employer's brother. jokes aside I hope you things get better for you
i have no friends my dad passed away just me and my mother im alone i have depression i didnt graduate high school im unemployed my life is the same as max payne
Damn, this game's good and depressing. "Fate was mocking me, the same bad joke I'd heard a hundred times before. But it wasn't the time for self-pity."
"You can't run from your past. you'll just end up running in circles, then fall down the hole you originally escaped from, only this time, it's deeper."
I've heard all the complaints about why Max Payne 3 sucks, how it "departs" too much from the first two. I think in some ways it had to. Look at our own lives. Bad things happen to us, and if we stay dwelling on them and living in the past, it will consume us. Look at MP3 from that angle. Max had to move on...not to mention he had a contract out on him in Jersey. Leaving the country made perfect sense. But also look at what they put in the game to remind us of the past MP stories...The theme song, the painkillers, bullet time, shoot dodging, Max narrating throughout the game, the same voice actor so it actually sounds like the same Max we all know and love, two chapters that put us back in Jersey, one in the cemetery to visit Michelle and Rose's graves. All that plus new settings and new characters and stories. I think MP3 is a great game. Of course I love the first 2, but I just think MP3 had to be different. But in my opinion it stayed true to the franchise. But of course if you don't agree and still enjoy 1 & 2 better, then I guess just keep playing 1&2...it's not like they will ever get old anyway. Without question one of the greatest franchises ever. Long live Max Payne
MPlay The 3rd game by itself is just fine. The real problem arises when you try comparing it with the first two games, when the prequels differ too much from the sequels then they start creating a certain dissonance. Look, in short, have you played any RPG's? It's like this: Leather Armor: +3 Defence, +300 HP, Iron Armor: +6 Defence, +600 HP; Reinforced Waistcoat: + 5 Defence, -300 HP, +20 Magic; In other words, just like gear, prequels are not always improved versions of the sequels countepart, sure we got better graphics, new combat system, new story etc, but at the same time i feel like Max Payne 3 lost something that the first two games had, though as to what i can't tell. Mostly likely it's because Remedy didn't make the game, but Rockstar, again, i'm not saying the game is bad but it feels like you're trading one thing for another.
Tbh it's just the darker side of the real world people often forget that there's a side of our world that most people never come into contact with while max is just someone who has had to face it many times.
"I'd been shot more times than I could remember, but this felt different. Maybe fate was sending me a message. Trying to tell me my luck was finally about to run out. Or maybe I just severed an artery and was bleeding out like any number of fools who got shot playing with guns. Either way, I was failing fast." RIP James McCaffrey [*]
Yeah man so did Max's life. in 3rd game he is depressed as he lost his family he lives in memory of past suffering.he is addicted to painkillers the blame is on us we used so many damn painkillers
Thrice, it was Sam Lake in Max Payne, Timothy Gibbs in Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne, and James McCaffrey in Max Payne 3. I am broken, after hearing about this man, he was literally half of my childhood, Rest in Peace Jim.
I can't believe The voice of Max Payne James McCaffrey have passed away.......I feel like New upcoming Remake of Max Payne ain't going to be the same without him in it.... RIP James McCaffrey for ours childhood......
I'd say this game was criminally overlooked, not underrated. The combat mechanics, cover system, story, music... everything about this game besides the longer unskipable cutscenes was perfect.
@@Lakerfanforlife Wow, I didn't even remember writing this comment Anyway... Bruce Lee once said that "pain will leave you once it's done teaching you". It's true that sometimes life hits hard and we never hear the shot that takes us down but at the same time as Bob Marley once said "you can never know how strong you are until your only option is being strong".
Beatfull1 You're right but in a way Max was haunted by his own demons. I haven't seen the movie but I think the creators meant it that way by the demon figures in the movie.
It baffles me how they managed to fuck up a film for a game who's roots were firmly planted in film noir. Also how they managed to make one the most iconic characters in video gaming history be bland as fuck.
R.I.P. James McCaffrey I only played this game (probably the best third person shooter I've ever played), but that was after I had watched walkthroughs of the first two games and became engrossed in the stories, the gameplay and Max's character. James's performance was a huge part of that enjoyment to me across these games.
Man, it's amazing that the original Max Payne theme is excellent, and it is blown out of the water by how haunting and unnerving this is. This is a fantastic take on such an iconic theme.
For me, this game was like saying goodbye to my childhood. I was 11 when the first game came out and 21 when this one arrived. After completing it I felt a sense of sadness and completeness ready to move on to the next phase of my life. Still love playing it once in a while though! Max is one of the greatest video game characters ever created
How ironic and poetic is it, that in MP3, for Max, the past really is another country. Great game. The moral of MP3 surmises who he was in the previous two games, he was never really trying to save anyone, he was just the right guy in the wrong place, doing the right thing the wrong way.
"Life was good. The sun setting on a sweet summer's day. The smell of freshly mowed lawns, the sounds of children playing. A house across the river on the Jersey side. A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American Dream come true." Max (flashback): Honey, I'm home! "But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking. The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding." Max (flashback): Michelle? Honey, anybody home? "I didn't like the way the show started, but they had given me the best seat in the house: front row center."
This is a very well ending for my man Max, the moment he walking in the sunset, taking a beer, and truly moving on with his life after all the shit happened, i'm really happy for him. This series will always have a place in my childhood
@@maryrosedeleon-valenzuela I think the soda works, showing that Max was putting his past of drunkenness and moving on to a present (and future) of sobriety.
All this time we got the fable of Sleeping Beauty wrong. The prince didn't kiss her to wake her up. No one who slept for a hundred years is likely to wake up. It was the other way round. He kisses her to wake himself up from the nightmare that has brought him there. -Max Payne
Rest in peace, James McCaffrey. I just found out abour your passing, but your stellar work on making Max Payne the character we love today will always be with me. ❤
Finland, the country that knows booze and depression. Delivered one of the best "detective noir" characters even rivaling Hollywood's best. Hüva suomi!
C'mon. Gta IV is just as dark as Max Payne 3. Niko lost everything to war, smuggled and sold people, watched his friends all die and escaped to a country which he can't fit in. He can't be happy, just like Max.
@@mvcned6015 GTA and Max Payne is not only the character and the main storyline. They both didn't have an easy life, but Liberty City come cruel among the poorest, but it can be a great place as the TBOGT DLC shows it. New Jersey is a hell on earth that no one would want to go to and Sao Paulo is not much better.
Actually just finished playing this game for the first time a few days ago. Kinda underrated because nobody I ask has ever played this game, only 1 or 2. RIP Mr. McCaffrey
I feel bad for Max, his beautiful wife and baby daughter, killed in cold blood. Killed the one responsible for their deaths but still can't get on with his life. He found found a lover, Mona but didn't really end well. And now he goes to Brazil hoping to get a fresh start, working for protection but he never managed to protect the people he was supposed to protect. He finds himself in deep shit, people smuggling people. But in the end he found peace, taking down all the bad guys, and turning into the ultimate badass we all know and love. I love this game, I really wouldn't know what to do if that happened to me. maybe just drink my problems away lol
I owe a lot to the Max, his charisma made me my eximio see a writer, even with it my fault. His pace fit like a glove for my motivation. Today I have two short stories published in a newspaper and a matter on the internet. I owe a lot to Max because he made me discover who I was and the gift I have.
The year is 2020, June 9th.. around 3 A.M. washing my sorrows with music from the past. The more i look at the world, the more i see how corrupted and awful the world is. COVID, riots, ww3, and death... the year of reckoning, the year of Pain. No one knew how this year would play out but now... now its unthinkable. We live in a society where the News tells us the bad guys are good guys and the good guys are bad guys... either way its a bunch of bullshit. In the end, everyone is trying to figure out how to survive. In the end, nothing will change.

I've heard all the complaints about why Max Payne 3 sucks, how it "departs" too much from the first two. I think in some ways it had to. Look at our own lives. Bad things happen to us, and if we stay dwelling on them and living in the past, it will consume us. Look at MP3 from that angle. Max had to move on...not to mention he had a contract out on him in Jersey. Leaving the country made perfect sense. But also look at what they put in the game to remind us of the past MP stories...The theme song, the painkillers, bullet time, shoot dodging, Max narrating throughout the game, the same voice actor so it actually sounds like the same Max we all know and love, two chapters that put us back in Jersey, one in the cemetery to visit Michelle and Rose's graves. All that plus new settings and new characters and stories. I think MP3 is a great game. Of course I love the first 2, but I just think MP3 had to be different. But in my opinion it stayed true to the franchise. But of course if you don't agree and still enjoy 1 & 2 better, then I guess just keep playing 1&2...it's not like they will ever get old anyway. Without question one of the greatest franchises ever. Long live Max Payne
+John Rainey its the same kind people who idolize black ops 3 so their opinion means bullshit
beautiful comment
+John Rainey
And yet, it's not the same. Blame nostalgia.
+Kay Redfield Yeah, nostalgia isn't good if someone uses it to show that MP 3 is bad, because games are changing and they have to
MPlay
The 3rd game by itself is just fine. The real problem arises when you try comparing it with the first two games, when the prequels differ too much from the sequels then they start creating a certain dissonance.
Look, in short, have you played any RPG's? It's like this:
Leather Armor: +3 Defence, +300 HP,
Iron Armor: +6 Defence, +600 HP;
Reinforced Waistcoat: + 5 Defence, -300 HP, +20 Magic;
In other words, just like gear, prequels are not always improved versions of the sequels countepart, sure we got better graphics, new combat system, new story etc, but at the same time i feel like Max Payne 3 lost something that the first two games had, though as to what i can't tell. Mostly likely it's because Remedy didn't make the game, but Rockstar, again, i'm not saying the game is bad but it feels like you're trading one thing for another.
Cold, ruthless, depressing and sorrowful
Even then its not enough to describe the grim of Max Payne universe
Yeap def grimmer than RDR and the HD verse. Pretty much on par with Kane & Lynch and pre WOA Hitman
@@7Tomb7Keeper7 close to warhammer 3k)
Tbh it's just the darker side of the real world people often forget that there's a side of our world that most people never come into contact with while max is just someone who has had to face it many times.
This game taught me that Life isn't always roses and sunshine
Pessimism, gloom
"I'd been shot more times than I could remember, but this felt different. Maybe fate was sending me a message. Trying to tell me my luck was finally about to run out. Or maybe I just severed an artery and was bleeding out like any number of fools who got shot playing with guns. Either way, I was failing fast."
RIP James McCaffrey [*]
"Time moves forward... and nothing changes"
Listening to this while watching the sun going down, shinning bright cuz max is there, and the pain is finally over ✨💖 RIP James McCaffrey
That times when you play this game in a lonely night while hearing the raining drops outside.
pain rises more then
That's one heck of an experience
@Eren Kıdık God I just wish they would make this backward compatible.
Is it just me or the soundtrack got more depressing throughout every games?
Yeah man so did Max's life. in 3rd game he is depressed as he lost his family he lives in memory of past suffering.he is addicted to painkillers the blame is on us we used so many damn painkillers
Same music, just played slightly slower through each one.
It’s a really depressing storyline so it’s fitting
It also went from a piano to a violin @@Ian-oq3lc
Max Payne changed faces twice, and his bullet-time shooting has been copied hundreds of times, but there was only *one* voice for him.
RIP McCaffrey.
Thrice, it was Sam Lake in Max Payne, Timothy Gibbs in Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne, and James McCaffrey in Max Payne 3. I am broken, after hearing about this man, he was literally half of my childhood, Rest in Peace Jim.
@@mr.noname5731well, technically the change occurred two times - once for the sequel and the second time for part 3.

I don't know why but this soundtrack always makes my eyes watery. I love the transition at 3:22. It becomes little bit hopeful instead of depressive
ikr
That's right, it makes me feel that Payne will always do the right thing and try be a better man
Yeah it's same for me also 😢
Same bro idk why but i dont know
Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead.
RIP James

RIP James McCaffrey for ours childhood......
I'd say this game was criminally overlooked, not underrated. The combat mechanics, cover system, story, music... everything about this game besides the longer unskipable cutscenes was perfect.
Those cutscenes were the loading screens
Now this music has become even sadder for me. Thank you James, we won't forget you
They were all dead. I released my finger from the trigger and then it was over. I was alive, my loved ones were still... dead.

Bruce Lee once said that "pain will leave you once it's done teaching you".

Descanse em Paz Max Payne,combateu o bom combate 😢🎮
One of the best games I had ever played great story and game play I need MORE!!!
all the max payne games were great. to bad the movie wasnt
rob brindisi the movie was about demons shit which wasnt in max payne
Beatfull1 You're right but in a way Max was haunted by his own demons. I haven't seen the movie but I think the creators meant it that way by the demon figures in the movie.
in Max Payne one, you met with one of the Satanic cultist boss, so yeah, movie is little bit accurate
It baffles me how they managed to fuck up a film for a game who's roots were firmly planted in film noir. Also how they managed to make one the most iconic characters in video gaming history be bland as fuck.
rob brindisi watch the fan made 44min version...trust me you won't regret it
R.I.P. James McCaffrey
I only played this game (probably the best third person shooter I've ever played), but that was after I had watched walkthroughs of the first two games and became engrossed in the stories, the gameplay and Max's character. James's performance was a huge part of that enjoyment to me across these games.
Max is a true hero.

Man, it's amazing that the original Max Payne theme is excellent, and it is blown out of the water by how haunting and unnerving this is. This is a fantastic take on such an iconic theme.
For me, this game was like saying goodbye to my childhood. I was 11 when the first game came out and 21 when this one arrived. After completing it I felt a sense of sadness and completeness ready to move on to the next phase of my life. Still love playing it once in a while though! Max is one of the greatest video game characters ever created
Your not the only one still listening to this masterpiece (I’m still playing it too this day)
Definitely a growing up with the character type experience. Especially when we can relate.
There's supposedly a remake of 1 and 2 in the works. I'm hoping it's like max Payne 3 mechanics
Whoever orchestrated this is a genius. He or she really created the perfect music for Max.
Check out HEALTH, they make some amazing shit, they did the entire OST for MP3, and have a really solid discography.
"Here I was, 30,000 feet up, and somehow I wasn't high enough"
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Boooo Hoooo haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That's the height of Mount Everest.
When did Max get to that elevation?
me 5 bong hits in
I can't fucking believe you're gone, James...you were a real master of your craft. You will be deeply missed.
How ironic and poetic is it, that in MP3, for Max, the past really is another country. Great game. The moral of MP3 surmises who he was in the previous two games, he was never really trying to save anyone, he was just the right guy in the wrong place, doing the right thing the wrong way.
Dialogue from max payne 3
The wrong way, you say?
Ok.
"Life was good. The sun setting on a sweet summer's day. The smell of freshly mowed lawns, the sounds of children playing. A house across the river on the Jersey side. A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American Dream come true."
Max (flashback): Honey, I'm home!
"But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking. The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding."
Max (flashback): Michelle? Honey, anybody home?
"I didn't like the way the show started, but they had given me the best seat in the house: front row center."
"Something ugly had been tattooed on the wall. A syringe intersected by a V.
A tale of things to come."
"What the hell?"

This is a very well ending for my man Max, the moment he walking in the sunset, taking a beer, and truly moving on with his life after all the shit happened, i'm really happy for him. This series will always have a place in my childhood
Its a soda not beer
@@maryrosedeleon-valenzuela I think the soda works, showing that Max was putting his past of drunkenness and moving on to a present (and future) of sobriety.

All this time we got the fable of Sleeping Beauty wrong. The prince didn't kiss her to wake her up. No one who slept for a hundred years is likely to wake up. It was the other way round. He kisses her to wake himself up from the nightmare that has brought him there. -Max Payne

So if you think that GTA IV is dark, you didn't played Max Payne
C'mon. Gta IV is just as dark as Max Payne 3. Niko lost everything to war, smuggled and sold people, watched his friends all die and escaped to a country which he can't fit in. He can't be happy, just like Max.
@@mvcned6015 GTA and Max Payne is not only the character and the main storyline. They both didn't have an easy life, but Liberty City come cruel among the poorest, but it can be a great place as the TBOGT DLC shows it. New Jersey is a hell on earth that no one would want to go to and Sao Paulo is not much better.
Gta just feel less mature when you play it especially Gta V
Both gta 4 and max Payne is dark. Pls stop comparing 🥲🥲
@@najadrasheed2197 but we stopped
Total masterpiece please listen to all of this
Rest in Peace the heart and soul of Max Payne 3, James McCaffrey
Actually just finished playing this game for the first time a few days ago. Kinda underrated because nobody I ask has ever played this game, only 1 or 2. RIP Mr. McCaffrey
I feel bad for Max, his beautiful wife and baby daughter, killed in cold blood. Killed the one responsible for their deaths but still can't get on with his life. He found found a lover, Mona but didn't really end well. And now he goes to Brazil hoping to get a fresh start, working for protection but he never managed to protect the people he was supposed to protect. He finds himself in deep shit, people smuggling people. But in the end he found peace, taking down all the bad guys, and turning into the ultimate badass we all know and love. I love this game, I really wouldn't know what to do if that happened to me. maybe just drink my problems away lol
I owe a lot to the Max, his charisma made me my eximio see a writer, even with it my fault. His pace fit like a glove for my motivation. Today I have two short stories published in a newspaper and a matter on the internet. I owe a lot to Max because he made me discover who I was and the gift I have.
Beautiful story
The year is 2020, June 9th.. around 3 A.M. washing my sorrows with music from the past. The more i look at the world, the more i see how corrupted and awful the world is. COVID, riots, ww3, and death... the year of reckoning, the year of Pain. No one knew how this year would play out but now... now its unthinkable. We live in a society where the News tells us the bad guys are good guys and the good guys are bad guys... either way its a bunch of bullshit. In the end, everyone is trying to figure out how to survive. In the end, nothing will change.
