Max Payne 3

>Max Payne 3
>it doesn't take place in NYC

That game never happened.

the hoboken level was the best part of the game. the whole thing should have been that

>NOT all of it takes place in NYC
there, fixed it for you

You know, I tried it being very skeptical about the game and I wanted an action-shooter fix. Now I was as disappointed as any other person I just wanted a next-gen Max Payne set in New York which there was a level that took place in NYC but the storyline, pacing of it all was still very much Max Payne. I thought it was probably the better option for them to expand upon him under a different settings and I thought it was superb. It wasn't bad at all but a vast change in terms of character development and settings.

the series is already so past the point of no return it's already past the point of no return

none of max payne 3 is in nyc

>but the storyline, pacing of it all was still very much Max Payne
Yeah, like how it completely ignored him coming to terms with the death of his wife and child in Max Payne 2 and instead made him a grieving alcoholic in 3? The story was the most offensive thing about the game, it was like Rockstar had a general idea of what Max Payne was about but didn't actually bother to review MP1 and MP2 before making MP3. The dialogue was also terrible compared to the previous entries, and Max cursing all of a sudden when he didn't in the others was yet another example of them not giving a fuck about the series.

>like how it completely ignored him coming to terms with the death of his wife and child in Max Payne 2

That's the point. He never did.

>I had a dream of my wife. She was dead, but it was alright.
Yes, he fucking did.

>Implying he's 100% forgotten

Yeah, sure like he can easily move on. It's a noir experience. He'll never forget that shit. Sometimes people can't let go no matter what they tell themselves. That cunt in MP2 was just a temporary whore.

The booze was his next girl. Just enough for him to get him blind and forgotten..

You don't make that the final line of the game and then open the next with him drowning himself in alcohol and crying over her picture frame. It's completely nonsensical, and Remedy most certainly wouldn't have done it if they were still the ones making the games. It was Rockstar completely disregarding the previous games to tell their shitty Man on Fire ripoff.

You wut

>Character goes to War
>Comes back as an alcoholic to cover up his painful past

This is a noir trope. You need to get educated in watching old-school noir flicks and that's exactly that.

He spends the entirety of Max Payne 1 and 2 running from it until the very end of 2, where he finally confronts it and comes to terms with it. It's the entire point of the ending. He doesn't need to become an alcoholic to cover it up, he was covering it up by going on a one-man killing spree for two games. You seem about as familiar with the first two games as Rockstar.

>where he finally confronts it and comes to terms with it.

He never did though. Heroes never comes to terms with anything in noir flicks. You have the brainlet of a normie who just thinks everything is just solved. Nothing in noir is solved you fucking young donkey.

>he was covering it up by going on a one-man killing spree for two games.

So my analogy for war was right then. So he kinda chilled out and realized his pain never went away hence the alcoholism.

Not that user, but he has a point. You can talk about noir nerd stuff all you want, but it’s a dick move to pull off ending like that in conclusion of two games and then pretend it didn’t happen. If it’s so noir, they shouldn’t have ended it like that.

>Max Payne 3
>Its not made by Remedy or Sam Lake

Fuck Max Payne 3 and fuck BR HUEHUES. Your very existence ruined something that should have been magical.

Here's another quote from the ending, immediately preceding the final line about his wife being dead and it being alright to further demonstrate:
>She has brought me here, to this moment of clarity, where time slows down, and I choose to look back, to see myself. And in that act of seeing, I am reborn.
Do you just ignore dialogue and frame everything based on tropes in previous noir stories?

We all know the reason Max was an alcoholic in 3. Rockstar needed a contrived reason to justify making a third game. It's all about the money.

maybe you should play it before bitching about it

>would unironically buy MP3 if it came out for PS4
>if they fixed the loading

The only Rockstar game I've played was GTAV. I thought it was really on-the-nose and stupid.
I really like story forward games, so should I give any of the Max Paynes a try?

Max Payne 3, Binary Domain, Spec Ops: The Line, RE5/6, Kane and Lynch 2 and Vanquish are the top TPS games of last gen and desperately need to all make their way over to PS4
Play Max Payne in 3, 1, then 2 order. GTA IV also has a cool story. V's story is one of the worst stories in video game history.

You just so happened to have played the worst game they ever made first. Play the rest of the GTAs, all Max Paynes, and Red Dead Redemption. They are all much better games than GTA V

>Binary Domain
My negro (Spanish for Black).

Max Payne 1 and 2 aren't made by Rockstar, only 3 is. Ignore 3 completely and only play 1 and 2.

It was in New Jersey.

>people bitch and moan about Max shaving his head, being anywhere other than NYC, and using James Mcaffery's likeness over Sam Lake's
>Sam Lake was the one who suggested to Rockstar to do all 3 of those things, and had he been the one making MP3, he would have done it too

Find Max in this image

lying down to the left of the blue car, boom

nice job, now find him in THIS one

In the glass on the left, boi

last one, youre doing great

That's his foot to the bottom left of the screen, if not, idk where the hell he is

yeah, tahts his foot, thanks for playing user

heres your bonus image. max winks at u

Why would you even play Max Payne 3 when it canonically ignores Mona's survival?

MP3 ignores everything from MP2. Regardless of the ending you get in 2, Max moved on from the deaths of his wife and daughter. But Rockstar are lazy, so their solution is LOL NOPE MP2 DOESNT COUNT AND MAX IS SAD AGAIN :(

>CORESCORESCORES

Thanks for having me bud, it was fun
