Main Quest #39 - 28 May 2019

Max Payne 1

Max Payne 1

7/10
about 9 hours playtime
no achievements

May was all about this and June will be about Max Payne 2 (and hopefully July will be about the third installment). The enemy placement and accuracy were a bit nerve straining, making the game feel unnecessary harder than it could’ve been (the dream sequences were just horrible to get through) and noticeably dated, however, the story was kinda good. Hopefully, the next ones are a bit better gameplay wise.

3 biggest hurdle are the detailed animations. otherwise great game

Garcias

Oh yeah, those face animations are just meme worthy! Couldn’t help to laugh a bit almost every time I saw them.

LA Noire did that a lot with the face capture tec…it was actually pretty good for the time.
But Max Payne has really long detailed animations for almost everything, so there’s no flawless execution between player commands. basically movement is more awkward than GTA V.
On the bright side, 3 has by far the best combat and bullet time in the series. mostly due to the physics engine

Vito

The Max Payne games are great, though dated, true! I hope you will enjoy the others.

Garcias

Exactly what I’ve heard about this trilogy! I hope so too.

I played through these recently, they get better!
Initially I liked 2 the best, 3 seemed a different style but it grew on me. :)

Garcias

That’s great to know! When I finish the trilogy I’ll see what I like the best.
