I played the original Remedy games in my teens and loved them. I played MP3 in my early 20s and loved the story and gunplay, played through the campaign a bunch of times and then I haven’t been back in ages.
I got an Xbox Series X recently and decided to replay some old faves that I loved and Max Payne 3 has aged so well. The story it tells about failure and addiction resonates more in my 30s and with more life experience under my belt than it did in my 20s. The gun play is as addictive as always. Even the visuals aren’t that bad. The art direction is spectacular and so lavish. Max spends the entirety of the game save maybe the last thirty seconds either stoned, drunk, in withdrawal, injured, overstimulated, and or in mental distress and you genuinely feel that bleeding through the screen at times.
I know that Rockstar is never gonna make a game like this again, a tight linear tale. Their business model is different now and games like Bully and Max Payne likely won’t happen again …
i like looking at graphs working, but i dont know any games that show them
Always am afraid to install new windows os because sometimes they arent compatible with certain games. Those who have win 11 how is it so far?
