The game was awesome, my only problem with it is that I got stuck on a boss fight without much ammo, and because of the save system, I literally couldn't go back to a previous checkpoin, or do anything to solve the problem, other than restarting the whole game, and considering I was probably 90% of the way through, that wasn't happening. I will say that not being able to play the single player did mean that I gave the multiplayer a chance, and I enjoyed it so much that I even took a break from playing Modern Warfare 3 PvP
A timeless masterpiece, with a world-class performance by the exceptional James McCaffrey. HEALTH also outdid themselves, with their dark and intense atmospheric soundtracks!
I absolutely love this game... Never understood the hate it got.. Yes its different than the first two games but thats a good thing.. Otherwise people would've complained its just "another rehash of the original" ... The game has some amazing gunplay, a incredibly dark story and that soundtrack 😍 Godlike.
I hated it initially for the same reasons everyone else hated it, dropped it 3 or 4 missions in. Then just a few years ago I felt an urge to play a third person shooter and decided to give it another chance, resetting my expectations and deciding to treat MP3 like its own thing. O BOY. I beat it twice. In a row. It's hard to put my finger on why, but I'd say it's all about whether or not you want to compare it to previous games. But DAM did Rockstar nail it. The tone, the cinematic feel, the gunplay, the movement, the challenge - everything. Absolutely top notch.
If you haven't played it on PC with a mouse and keyboard, Max Payne 3 is seriously one of the best gameplay experiences I've ever had. especially with 120+ HZ. Trust me. Give it a try. I beat it on the hardest difficulty and it's one of the funnest games I've ever played, and keep coming back to.
@@SimonHill94 I loved it so much on PC, I bought it again on PS3. The analog stick just doesn't do this game justice when aiming. Especially at what? 30 fps? They try to make up for it with that soft aim lock, or hard aim lock, but it really dampens the fun factor. On the harder difficulties, you really start to get into game mechanics you never would've used otherwise, like blind firing at people to stun them for a second, so you can safely jump, or move to a better position to flank the enemy, or so you yourself aren't flanked. It may be an action game, but there's some intense strategy involved. I know the game did well enough, but I still consider this one of the most underrated video games out there. My only complaint is the long load times, while the story plays. Would love it if they added subtitles, so you as a player could understand what everyone is saying in other languages. Would've been an amazing unlock for beating the game on one of the harder difficulties.
@@Buhfrog probably didn't even manage 30 FPS to be honest. The load times is another reason why it's best played on PC, especially if you got yourself an SSD. That was mine and a lot of other people's main problem with the MP3, how much the game took control away from you as it loaded the next area. I'm in the same boat though. It's Rockstar's best non open world game and really under appreciated
@@Buhfrog I beat the game on ps3 on the hardest difficulty when I was younger. I don't think lock on was necessary even in multiplayer. It's more difficult but that makes it more fun sometimes in my opinion.
Max Payne 3 wrapped up really nicely. I feel happy with how this amazing trilogy ended. I don't think we even need a 4th one. If we do then hell yeah more max Payne!
The Cut scenes can be a little annoying personally . The shooting mechanics and presentation were just amazing ! One of the most satisfying games to just shoot someone in the head .
This game is a underrated gem and one of the best games of the 7th Gen in its last years. The multiplayer is golden. Definitely deserve a remaster, sequel or back compat on Xbox. This is the only game I've gone back and beat the story 6 times.
@@tylercouture216 I feel like because GTA 4 and Max Payne had Multiplayer, they dont release remasters for them.. LA Noire came out after GTA 4 slightly before MP and it got a remaster. Maybe they dont want to take away Online Playerbase from RDO and GTAO... its sad.
One of my personal favourite games of all time, among my top five games when I played on the PS3, great gunplay mechanics, story and soundtrack and a nod to Max Payne’s voice acting by James McCaffrey. A gem of a game.
What a coincidence, I just finished my fifth playthrough of Max Payne 3 a few days ago. Not a single game in 7 came remotely close to the excellent third-person gunplay and level of detail (considering the age of the game) of Max Payne 3. I bought the game in 2013, one year after release and was immediately surprised of how precise and fluid the gunplay felt. Rockstar Games did an excellent job with animation blending, movability and responsiveness. Like stated above I never played a game that feels as good! I really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany :)
I have not played a more refined 3rd person shooter since Max Payne 3. One of my favorite games of all time. Everything was so snappy and smooth. It is not easy to get 3rd person controls feel smooth like FPS, but boy did they do a great job.
I remember in 2012 whenever ro rockstar posted about max payne 3. everyone in the comments were asking about gta 5. Now its happening with gta 6, and appropriately so, because it's been 7 YEARS!!
max payne is one of the only franchise where i will gladly replay any game in the series. my favorite is max payne 2 but 3 was amazing for me and i dont get people's hate
Bullect time and jump...... nothing wrong with that... I had quantum break xbox edition and instill with every xbox i had and I still not play them as much as Max Payne...
At the time max Payne 3 came out people wanted games to be long as hell and open world, so I think that explains it's backlash. A game like this today by rockstar would do pretty well I think as long as it wasn't hyped too much and if people knew that gta6 was in full on development.
Don't forget these "last chance" moments, where the whole screen goes white and you try to shoot a badguy from 15 feet away with a WHITE CROSSHAIR. There are some very idiotic things in this pretty good game.
Blister Monde personally never had a problem with that... the cross hair turns red when you’re aiming at the right guy. I think they did that mechanic incredibly well considering it had never been done before

I would still recommend the PC version just to avoid that horrific thumbstick aiming 🤮 Love this game though, very underrated and such an incredible soundtrack So now that you have done all of the R* games when is Manhunt gonna get the spotlight it deserves? ;)
GizmoRose I dont have pc version but i have the ps3 version Im a pc gamer but tbh if you play it long enough aiming wont be a single problem for you no more You ll get pretty good aim and kills just like in pc But there are 2 downsides from pc -30 fps -tbh its still slow sometimes especially when you need to turn nearly 180 degrees for a moment But except thoose all of your problems will be solved if you play long enough on consoles
I Really like Max Payne 3. I go back through the story every few years because the gunplay feels so good, and because the dialogue and Max’s comments are so well written. The soundtrack is pretty good too!
Yes, with close to 50k subs ColourShedProd. has a following, but the quality of his reviews and the brilliant insights he offers truly deserve a wider audience. There's been a few reviews I've watched featuring games I initially thought were bleh; after CSP's review however I wanted to play it. The Max Payne series is one of the few Rockstar game franchises I haven't played and the series of reviews CSP's done on the three games had me adding it to the backlog. Great stuff brother, keep doing work!
James N I’ve been waiting for god knows how long for Max Payne 3 to be backwards compatible, decided to give up and get it on PC which I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Its unfortunate they never added Max Payne 3 even after they added Red Dead 1 for BC, missed opportunity...
PC version isn't superior to consoles? Dramatically higher resolution textures HBAO instead of SSAO Contact Hardening Shadows Tessellation Higher rez shadows Won't even mention about normal PC stuff, higher resolutions, unlocked FPS, 16 AF, MSAA with transparency options. And that's what I remember now. I think the game might've had higher precision motion blur and higher resolution reflections as well. So sure, the game looks great on consoles but looks so much better on PC.
Not to mention the game on PC is optimized like mint. It knows how to best utilize the resources your system has, even on OSs like Vista. Not surprising when you learn R* Vancouver were formerly Popdog studios, who began on the PC contributing to a little ol" title named Counter-Strike.
@Kayoshie Flametail I don't remember the cutscenes to be also in 30FPS, but you maybe right. I think it has to do with the cutscenes be a bit more "cinematic".
Kayoshie Flametail Just a bit disappointing that cutscenes are compressed 720p30 videos, are opposed to real-time like GTA 4/5. Most recently I have been floored with how every cutscenes in Gears 5 was real-time. MP3 still has a lot of cutscenes that are real time and look so good (maxed out, 4K120 fps), but yeah, transition to cutscenes is just a bit jarring.
Max Payne is so underrated. This and Binary Domain were the two best, most overlooked third person shooters of that generation. It's my personal favorite in the series, too.
I remember being in elementary school reading about the third Max Payne in the Xbox magazine. I think the article stated 'imagine Max Payne going through New York again but has age a little'. At the time I thought no way. The graphics back than were getting better so I thought it'd be similar to the first game's. When it came out I was more in my teen year's and was hyped. The presentation was amazing but to me personally I did want it to take place in New York. To me it seemed like a more dark and dirty place to be in and fits with the story. Even take place somewhere else in the states. But I did enjoy a bit of Brazil. Sorry to say this but Sam Lake is Max Payne. The actual voice actor was great and the guy that did Max for Max Payne 2 was good. But I don't think we'll ever see another Max Payne because that's Rockstar for you. Just keep releasing the same game for 3 generations now. It's getting old.
Yeah, will never forget that. I was 13 back when Max Payne hit shelves. Had to upgrade my on board GPU (8MB VRAM!) for a better one, because it got "destroyed" by this masterpiece.
It's a crime that rockstar didn't remaster this game for new generations. At least it's optimized enough to play even on weak PC I played it smooth even with 2 core CPU and 1GB gpu
Jesus, your videos are a celebration for me. Such deep analysis, with no obcene words, only on the subject. Paying my respects. Most of all i wonder where do you get those quotes from, because i'm really amazed. btw, good work as always
Max Payne was one of my favourite franchises growing up and although i played it much later i was not disappointed with Max Payne 3, i love how Rockstar made it so detailed with the animation and destructible environments, it wasn't open world so they put the effort into smaller details. The level of detail, believability and fluidity of the animation is still unparalleled imo and although there are gorier games this game is one of the most brutally violent games ever, really makes you uncomfortable but in a good way. Also I wish there were more action games that told grounded authentic stories set in real places (yes the bodycount needs to be ridiculous but that's games for you), the only game i've played recently that comes close with mature storytelling is Yakuza. Everything is sci-fi fantasy or bonkers like GTA, Far Cry and Just Cause. Back in the PS2/Xbox era you had Max Payne, Rainbow Six 3, the massively underrated Conflict: Global Terror and numerous others. Call of Duty is the only action adventure game that does real world stuff and even that is mostly World War 3 and often Sci-fi.
All though (this is a fact) some enemies(heavily armored f^>ks as I call them) have more than 100 health, so it takes about 3-4 "standings' to finish them. You can use openiv to verify everything I said.
I have loved this game for years and think it deserves more recognition to be honest. I actually have found this game far superior to red dead 2 and GTA 5 and being the last rockstar title that I considered to be truly great.
max payne is a superhero without saying it outright, max clearly knows he has it since he can shoot and movie in bullet time. its kinda fascinating when you realize that
What a coincidence, I’m playing the game right now for the first time and I’ve been having a blast. I’m at the last level(the airport), I’m enjoying every second of it. Awesome review btw
honestly Max payne 3 is my 2nd favorite rockstar game. first being RDR2 and it's also up there amongst my top favorite games of all time I love it so much!
I love how they used "luck" mechanics into the game. Sometimes you get an instant headshot from far away and sometimes the enemies missed you over and over again, nothing scripted (I've noticed it expecially in high difficult level) . It made the game a lot more difficult but also feel more realistic and rewarding when you manage to make your way out of a difficult situation. PS: altough I'm one of the biggest fan I hope they don't make a 4th installment, the series had a proper ending and it's been an amazing journey, a new game would be just a money grabber, let Max have finally some deserved rest
I love all the Max Paynes. I even had my eye was on the original before Rockstar published it. The first time I saw that game with its attention to detail with a dark and violent story I wanted to play it and all three turned out to be great under Rockstar
I went into this when it came out as a devoted Max Payne fan. It was a dream from beginning to end that I didn't want to leave. I feel it's been long enough for a remake of the 1st game.
If anyone here watched and understood the ending of this game, it is clear that the triology and Max’s story has came to an end. Although disappointing game, in some regards, and very forgetful, the end was a good one. I cried and wished him all the best.
For me the problem with this game was exactly the location of Sao Paolo. I loved the New York setting, the city can carry such depressive and gritty atmosphere that makes you feel lonely and hopeless. Compared to that the location, clothing, daylight, everything is the complete opposite, nevermind the state of criminal rates of the country. After playing the first two games it felt so wrong and the game came out in a time when so many studios did the same to their well-running franchises (Splinter Cell, Resident Evil jist for example), so i was already fed up with this non-sense trend because the games looked the complete opposite to what made them iconic art-style wise. I will still play MP3 once, but im really touchy when its about art-style, as it plays by me a huge role when its about media.
I gotta say, this game has amazing storytelling. This is my number one game of all time. I understand that I didn't sell that well as other rockstar games but it such a shame that rockstar doesn't increase their resource to create more games. They have such amazing IPs but they only seem to be focused on making as much money as possible per game instead of actually loving the art and creating something new. Such a shame
Just played this game the past weekend. Never realized how convoluted the story was and how cheap the AI were. An absolutely brilliant and frustrating game. I don't think I ever played Max Payne 1, but I definitely remember 2 from middle school on ps2.
Had this game since I bought it for 10 quid just before ps4 came out and never played. Decided I would play it when I get Max Payne 1 and 2 and play through them all... only ever played first one back in the day... well, I finally bought them a week ago at a games market. Really excited to play them.
Such an unappreciated game... 23:08 The fact that Max Payne 3 *combined* with both Red Deads don't amount to even the half of Grand Theft Overrated V triggers me.
Tommy Vercetti I actually bought max Payne 3 as my first max Payne and I didn’t know anything about max Payne previously before the movies I mean of course I knew the 2 games but never played them so when I saw the trailer for Max Payne 3 I was so excited and I bought it and I am not disappointed and I’d go as far to say it’s better than 1 and 2 story wise
MP3 was so good, it can almost be considered a hidden gem as it never got the recognition it deserved. An absolutely beautiful looking game, brilliant gun play, so worth playing. It's a pity it was never remastered for the PS4 / XB1.
MP3........huh....hehehe.

Im a pc gamer but tbh if you play it long enough aiming wont be a single problem for you no more
You ll get pretty good aim and kills just like in pc
But there are 2 downsides from pc
-30 fps
-tbh its still slow sometimes especially when you need to turn nearly 180 degrees for a moment
But except thoose all of your problems will be solved if you play long enough on consoles
@@onurtintas same here iam that person who plays pc games with a controller i dont like how much buttons the keyboard has
PUPPET MASTER Yeah i played first two on pc but 3 ‘s console ports are same as the pc
@@onurtintas what? u are chatting shit? Max Payne 3 on PC is not capped
Take off with your PC master race nonsense ya hoser.
That's it. Time for your channel to blow up. The quality of your videos is absolutely amazing, compared to many others.
I Really like Max Payne 3. I go back through the story every few years because the gunplay feels so good, and because the dialogue and Max’s comments are so well written. The soundtrack is pretty good too!
These videos just have a charm that's unexplainable
Yes, with close to 50k subs ColourShedProd. has a following, but the quality of his reviews and the brilliant insights he offers truly deserve a wider audience. There's been a few reviews I've watched featuring games I initially thought were bleh; after CSP's review however I wanted to play it. The Max Payne series is one of the few Rockstar game franchises I haven't played and the series of reviews CSP's done on the three games had me adding it to the backlog. Great stuff brother, keep doing work!
I wonder if we will ever get a 4th game
Maybe yes and maybe not
Probably not
But i wish, or a least another gory shooter in Brasil like Max Payne 3
Doubtful. As great as this game was it was a bit of a commercial flop.
@@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009 why brazil there are much cooler setting than a jungle
This game is the reason why I still have my Xbox 360 I wish they made this backwards compatible
James N I’ve been waiting for god knows how long for Max Payne 3 to be backwards compatible, decided to give up and get it on PC which I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Its unfortunate they never added Max Payne 3 even after they added Red Dead 1 for BC, missed opportunity...
Why haven't they made it BC?
Yeah maybe they thought it wouldn't sell
PC version isn't superior to consoles?
Dramatically higher resolution textures
HBAO instead of SSAO
Contact Hardening Shadows
Tessellation
Higher rez shadows
Won't even mention about normal PC stuff, higher resolutions, unlocked FPS, 16 AF, MSAA with transparency options.
And that's what I remember now. I think the game might've had higher precision motion blur and higher resolution reflections as well.
So sure, the game looks great on consoles but looks so much better on PC.
Not to mention the game on PC is optimized like mint.
It knows how to best utilize the resources your system has, even on OSs like Vista.
Not surprising when you learn R* Vancouver were formerly Popdog studios, who began on the PC contributing to a little ol" title named Counter-Strike.
@Kayoshie Flametail I don't remember the cutscenes to be also in 30FPS, but you maybe right. I think it has to do with the cutscenes be a bit more "cinematic".
No one cares
Kayoshie Flametail Just a bit disappointing that cutscenes are compressed 720p30 videos, are opposed to real-time like GTA 4/5. Most recently I have been floored with how every cutscenes in Gears 5 was real-time.
MP3 still has a lot of cutscenes that are real time and look so good (maxed out, 4K120 fps), but yeah, transition to cutscenes is just a bit jarring.
i love max payne 3 but the problems with it are the lack of multiplayer content and the fact it takes days to level up
Max Payne is so underrated. This and Binary Domain were the two best, most overlooked third person shooters of that generation.
It's my personal favorite in the series, too.
Righteous, Max Payne's my favorite 3rd-person shooter(s).
12:47 funnily enough, later in the game its revealed in one of the clues that Passos isnt even Brasilian, but Colombian
You should also check out Rabbit Respawn's Max Payne 3 videos.
Man he makes this game look good.
You are so incredibly talented for making reviews! Love your videos man, keep it up ma dude!
Nice Timing I finished my franchise playthrough earlier this week!
Max payne is the best shooting series game i have ever played
I remember being in elementary school reading about the third Max Payne in the Xbox magazine. I think the article stated 'imagine Max Payne going through New York again but has age a little'. At the time I thought no way. The graphics back than were getting better so I thought it'd be similar to the first game's. When it came out I was more in my teen year's and was hyped. The presentation was amazing but to me personally I did want it to take place in New York. To me it seemed like a more dark and dirty place to be in and fits with the story. Even take place somewhere else in the states. But I did enjoy a bit of Brazil. Sorry to say this but Sam Lake is Max Payne. The actual voice actor was great and the guy that did Max for Max Payne 2 was good.
But I don't think we'll ever see another Max Payne because that's Rockstar for you. Just keep releasing the same game for 3 generations now. It's getting old.
I'll never forget the airplane level
I recently finished Max Payne 3 on Old School and Free Aim with PS3. One of the best games I have ever played that deserves more recognition
The original max pain opening sequence will always be stuck in my brain.
I was mad young when I played it and it was just wild!
So sad
Yeah, will never forget that. I was 13 back when Max Payne hit shelves. Had to upgrade my on board GPU (8MB VRAM!) for a better one, because it got "destroyed" by this masterpiece.
I am playing max payne ps2 classic on my ps3 and i am 11 enjoying the game
It's a crime that rockstar didn't remaster this game for new generations. At least it's optimized enough to play even on weak PC I played it smooth even with 2 core CPU and 1GB gpu
Your reviews are very in depth and you cover the games that I'm very nostalgic about from my middle school/high school years.
Great job!
I was expecting Midnight club 3 review :( this one is good tho
Jesus, your videos are a celebration for me. Such deep analysis, with no obcene words, only on the subject. Paying my respects.
Most of all i wonder where do you get those quotes from, because i'm really amazed.
btw, good work as always
I actually just bought the PC version on steam after owning it on PS3 for years. What a gem. Easily one of my favorite games of all time.
The soundtrack! You didn't mention the soundtrack! That airport shootout omg
New Jersey levels are the best levels. Mob guys say the funniest shit when they shoot at you.
Max Payne was one of my favourite franchises growing up and although i played it much later i was not disappointed with Max Payne 3, i love how Rockstar made it so detailed with the animation and destructible environments, it wasn't open world so they put the effort into smaller details. The level of detail, believability and fluidity of the animation is still unparalleled imo and although there are gorier games this game is one of the most brutally violent games ever, really makes you uncomfortable but in a good way.
Also I wish there were more action games that told grounded authentic stories set in real places (yes the bodycount needs to be ridiculous but that's games for you), the only game i've played recently that comes close with mature storytelling is Yakuza. Everything is sci-fi fantasy or bonkers like GTA, Far Cry and Just Cause. Back in the PS2/Xbox era you had Max Payne, Rainbow Six 3, the massively underrated Conflict: Global Terror and numerous others. Call of Duty is the only action adventure game that does real world stuff and even that is mostly World War 3 and often Sci-fi.
One of my top favorite game of all time.
Love the story,gameplay and overall amazing game
All though (this is a fact) some enemies(heavily armored f^>ks as I call them) have more than 100 health, so it takes about 3-4 "standings' to finish them. You can use openiv to verify everything I said.
Max Payne 3 is the best multiplayer ever it should be remastered Rockstar please do it
Even with it bullet time was good
I miss Max Payne :( but I know it'll be a really long time before he comes back. Hopefully
I hope there will be a number 4 soon
I loved Max Payne 3, wish they'd make a new one that played like this
It’s honestly a shame this was not made available for Xbox backwards compatibility.
#BringBackMaxPayne3
Agreed, they added Red Dead 1 so why not Max Payne 3? I suppose there’s license issues holding it back, it’s a bummer they couldn’t make it happen
Thanks for this review, finally someone who shares my exact thoughts.
I would like so much that rockstar makes us a remaster.
Max Payne 3 and SPEC OPS are part of the biggest underestimated games of the old generation.
Getting hit right now!
Great review! You never disappoint
I have loved this game for years and think it deserves more recognition to be honest. I actually have found this game far superior to red dead 2 and GTA 5 and being the last rockstar title that I considered to be truly great.
Best third person shooter of the ps3/360 gen alongside vanquish.
I know he's not the narrator voice max but I always believed early on it was Kiefer Sutherland voice as max. He does sound like him
max payne is a superhero without saying it outright, max clearly knows he has it since he can shoot and movie in bullet time. its kinda fascinating when you realize that
This is one of my favorite shooters of all time. So underrated it’s criminal.
Definitely one of my favourite subscriptions, keep up the good work bro
All 3 games are now backwards compatible with the Xbox One and series x and s
What a coincidence, I’m playing the game right now for the first time and I’ve been having a blast. I’m at the last level(the airport), I’m enjoying every second of it. Awesome review btw
22:05 my god color this entire FN sequence is just.. I can't even.
honestly Max payne 3 is my 2nd favorite rockstar game. first being RDR2 and it's also up there amongst my top favorite games of all time I love it so much!
I love how they used "luck" mechanics into the game. Sometimes you get an instant headshot from far away and sometimes the enemies missed you over and over again, nothing scripted (I've noticed it expecially in high difficult level) . It made the game a lot more difficult but also feel more realistic and rewarding when you manage to make your way out of a difficult situation.
PS: altough I'm one of the biggest fan I hope they don't make a 4th installment, the series had a proper ending and it's been an amazing journey, a new game would be just a money grabber, let Max have finally some deserved rest
1:29
Manhunt: Am I a joke to you?
I love all the Max Paynes. I even had my eye was on the original before Rockstar published it. The first time I saw that game with its attention to detail with a dark and violent story I wanted to play it and all three turned out to be great under Rockstar
15:13 that is a blatant bold faced lie. Playing MP3 with mouse and keyboard changes the game and is some sooooo much more satisfying to shoot with
I think they should make a Max Payne 4 which takes place right after Max Payne 3 where Max goes back to New York to go against the Mafia
I loved the first two...L-O-V-E
Liked this #3, but cutscenes kept mit from love. There was a cutscene every time you open a door.
It was maddening
Best reviewer on TH-cam. Keep up the hard work
You have seen every reviewer on TH-cam? Amazing!
I went into this when it came out as a devoted Max Payne fan. It was a dream from beginning to end that I didn't want to leave. I feel it's been long enough for a remake of the 1st game.
If anyone here watched and understood the ending of this game,
it is clear that the triology and Max’s story has came to an end.
Although disappointing game, in some regards, and very forgetful, the end was a good one.
I cried and wished him all the best.
I hope it becomes Backwards compatible on xbox one one day, that'd be a real surprise mechanic.
Brooo that intro music 😫
The thing with this game is, it felt like every other game at the time
Woulda been notification gang but i was ranting on with the homie on texts 😂😂
For me the problem with this game was exactly the location of Sao Paolo. I loved the New York setting, the city can carry such depressive and gritty atmosphere that makes you feel lonely and hopeless. Compared to that the location, clothing, daylight, everything is the complete opposite, nevermind the state of criminal rates of the country. After playing the first two games it felt so wrong and the game came out in a time when so many studios did the same to their well-running franchises (Splinter Cell, Resident Evil jist for example), so i was already fed up with this non-sense trend because the games looked the complete opposite to what made them iconic art-style wise. I will still play MP3 once, but im really touchy when its about art-style, as it plays by me a huge role when its about media.
I gotta say, this game has amazing storytelling. This is my number one game of all time. I understand that I didn't sell that well as other rockstar games but it such a shame that rockstar doesn't increase their resource to create more games. They have such amazing IPs but they only seem to be focused on making as much money as possible per game instead of actually loving the art and creating something new. Such a shame
my favorite game of all time max payne 3
Max payne: "And with that I guess I was ready for bed". I was literally about to go to bed🤔.
Just played this game the past weekend. Never realized how convoluted the story was and how cheap the AI were. An absolutely brilliant and frustrating game. I don't think I ever played Max Payne 1, but I definitely remember 2 from middle school on ps2.
Had this game since I bought it for 10 quid just before ps4 came out and never played. Decided I would play it when I get Max Payne 1 and 2 and play through them all... only ever played first one back in the day... well, I finally bought them a week ago at a games market. Really excited to play them.
I'm foaming at the mouth until you finish the MGS series. Great video none the less
I still gotta finish MGSV and MGR :D
a very underrated game, one of my favorite non open world games
I love this game!!
Great review as always🍻
Such an unappreciated game... 23:08 The fact that Max Payne 3 *combined* with both Red Deads don't amount to even the half of Grand Theft Overrated V triggers me.
Tommy Vercetti I actually bought max Payne 3 as my first max Payne and I didn’t know anything about max Payne previously before the movies I mean of course I knew the 2 games but never played them so when I saw the trailer for Max Payne 3 I was so excited and I bought it and I am not disappointed and I’d go as far to say it’s better than 1 and 2 story wise
