It's not a spike difficulty. First off unskippable cutscenes is tedious. The story is trash in 3. Let's look past that cause that's not gameplay I get that. Max payne 1 and 2 your meant to run in a room and use slow motion to clear a room full of guys. What's broken with this game is they have a cover system. The game was balanced around the cover system. Noob move. They could of had no cover system and made the game harder but just in a different way. The point is to be able to just dive into rooms and clear rooms out. They really balanced this around you using the cover system.

Max Payne is much closer to GTA IV than Red Dead 1 and GTA 5 in terms of physics and has much better shooting mechanics. GTA and RDR1 have quite wooden and stiff mechanics and physics as rockstar over corrected to all hell and wanted to have more stable performance on console. Max Payne 3 is much better with that. Loading times are hidden behind cutscens aand this is main reason they cant be skipped most of the time. It could be easily remedied in the remaster if they finally get around to that.

You couldn't have said it any better "Max is finally at peace with himself". Many people complain about the third game and how it supposedly felt disconnected from the rest of the franchise, but I see it in a different way. Throughout the first two games the weather and the overall atmosphere are always dreary, sad and melancholic almost symbolizing Max's fall towards the deepest pits of depression. However in the third game the weather, excluding the obvious fact the game takes place in Sao Paolo, is finally clearing up. Never have we seen any of the MP games take place during daytime which is a first. This in a way means that he's finally starting to come to terms with the fact that he needs to move on. The storm inside his head, the guilt, pain and suffering is coming to an end. And also not to mention, throughout the entire franchise he always narrates his thoughts on the situation at hand almost as if he feels the need to justify why he's doing what he's doing. At the end of 3 however, he doesn't say anything, simply because he has nothing left to say. He did his best and is now free of his demons that were tormenting him for years. A great end for an unfortunate character who had to endure so much suffering.

There is a complaint that Max already moved on before. In the end of second game, he says something like " They were dead. But that was okay" which refered to his family. But i don't buy it. In second game, he learns Lem is a traitor. Winterson was sleeping with Vladimir and told Max to stay away. Jim Bravura forced him to do desk job cause he considered him to be falling apart. Max proved he was right, but it costed lives of policemen in station, he lost Mona, Jim Bravura almost died, and then Max quit NYPD when story was over.This man took too much of a beating to call it "moving on". Also, the sunny setting is kind of ironic. Max is dealing with rich people who are dead inside, corrupt police and bussinesmen, rotten family where Giovanna was the only pure hearted character. He needs just a short walk to see something that richer people see from their houses, towers and helicopters, feeling safe thanks to police and security guys. And abandoned hotel is a masterpiece of tension, dread and moment of realisation for Max that he was used as fall guy, he just learned what is hiding beneath the surface of sunny, beautiful city.

You can make a game hard or easy regardless of the game mechanics you just have to balance a game around the game mechanics. Max Payne 1 and 2 are meant to run and gun and just go into a room and shoot it out. Max Payne 3 is heavily slowed down on pace and balanced around the fact that you have to stop and not be fast paced and use that cover system.

If I had to sum up the journey of Max Payne in each installment in just a few words I'd say... Max Payne 1 is about experiencing new pain and trying to cope with it and it's trauma. Max Payne 2 is about trying overcome that previous pain. Failing, but ultimately coming to terms that Failure is okay as long you keep trying... and keep loving... despite how much it hurts. Max Payne 3 is about trying to STILL overcome that pain. Ultimately Succeeding, by means of trying something different in life and understanding you more then your trauma, your failure, and coming to terms with having to let go.

Two years ago I installed this game for the first time. 2 years later I keep playing it. Every once in a while I get drunk behind my PC, and, no matter what I do, by the morning my journey inevitably ends up in Max Payne 3. Feels right to be playing the game when you're as handicapped as the guy behind the computer screen.

As a hardcore Max Payne fan, this game perfectly ends Max's arc to moved on. I can't wait for the new remake they've announced!

Just incredible. I was very cautious of this game when going into it, being a huge fan of the first two and was utterly shocked of how good it was. How seamless the narrative and gameplay are integrated to create an absolutely insane experience. Particularly Max's journey and character deconstruction; remembering Dan Houser talking about being a fan of the series. I feel he and is writing team absolutely nailed it. Even more so than the previous games!

Loved this game. Beat it and the predecessors on the hardest setting with my brother back in the day. Took a loooong time. One of the best games ever in my opinion.

I love Max Payne 3, but I don't understand how Rockstar's other games don't count as "real games". They were all games. GTA, RDR, Manhunt, etc. I don't exactly get what qualifies a game to be "real".

I really loved the graphics of this game, especially how they handled the cloth wrinkle simulation in this game. Very few other games does that trick [mostly sports games like FIFA and PES and some other sony exclusive games like uncharted 4]. This method was present in GTA V and RDR2 too but the effect was less pronounced to the point of being ineffective in many places. It's a very simple trick of blending multiple sets of normal maps to give the illusion of moving cloth wrinkles but it really does look more believable than just static wrinkles seen in most 3d games. 2D games back in the day had this effect a lot as well and cloths looked better because of that in those games.

I respect tf out videos like these, breaking down why a narrative driven story works and what it delivers to the players. What i would like to point out is that this game does have some flaws regarding the story BUT overall the experience that it provides is WELL worth those flaws. I understand that ppl got mad by how much the game changed compared to how it was, both content wise and character wise but that is to be expected if you have to make sth new. I liked the noire esc feeling the older games had alongside with the themes they went along, but i truly do believe this game is a fitting end to Max's story. Its feels way more grounded in reality and is significantly darker than the previous ones. What i also appreciated was how much max changes halfway through the game, hes fed up with wallowing in booze and painkillers than he feels that he need a change, a drastic one even if that kills him. The whole vibe this game has alongside with the music that HEALTH made truly is one of my most favourite parts why this game is one of my favourite of all time.

I still remember the first Time i realized whats going on at the rundown Hotel, connecting everything, how it was all tied together. Corrupt Police, Private Armies, Human Trafficking etc. absolutely crazy the Way the Story went, and very unexpected. Also, HEALTH made a Story within a Story. The Music is perfect, cant even say anything else in that Regard.

Max Payne 3 was Rockstars greatest game. Now every Rock* game are clunky ass messes to control..

Been a Max Payne fan ever since I was a kid and played the original games. When 3 came out I was exctatic. It may be something completely different, but I love this game with all my heart. I love the gunplay, the mechanics, the aging Max, all of it.

I like your serious way of speaking. Subscribed. I'm watching it while waiting for the installation process. It's going to be my first time, I'm excited)

Max Payne 3 is nothing short of masterpiece! Finally, someone has made a review that doesn't slip down the route of, "it's far removed from the last two", "too many cutscenes" or "the style is too disorientating" - all of which are there for many essential reasons, including the horsepower available at the time and impact of narrative & execution - they are absolutely necessary - they aid the flow & context of the entire experience. To play the game and expect a 'vibe' and a repeat from over a decade earlier whilst viewing through nostalgiagasm lenses won't allow those suffering the need for cognitive bias to enjoy the title as it was intended (many saw reviews at the time and viewed the game from the perspective of the reviewer, a common issue in art). A dev that always panders to fan-service whilst it deconstructs the IP is not doing the franchise or audience any favours... are you listening Disney! Max Payne 3 not only stands the test of time - it improves with age - I've just replayed through on PC at 4K 120hz AA x4 using an LG C2 42 inch, the game certainly agrees with modern tech (and those with a degree in film & history). Everything about the game is utterly magnificent. The soundtrack, sound design, ambient SFX, art, gun-play, story, direction, character arc, mechanics...it's a marvel of game-craft & story execution, and it is a better game than previous two, of which I also adore. It's rare a film or games story & action starts well and becomes superior the further towards the end you get, simple or not. Those who have already completed know what I mean. The fizz you feel from walking into a nightclub to an airport - unparalleled in any game (think more fizz than the John Wick night club scene)! The previous games were superb but they did not deliver the moments of awe that MP3 stokes and maintains throughout - the novelty didn't and hasn't worn off. The noir, the gun-foo, the score, the OST, the story, the gritty truck-stop toilet that is Max's misfortune is undeniably back to and beyond peak form with several changes of appearance (not one, as reviews keep regurgitating), location, alcohol branding and facial hair. The experience is totally metal \m/. Make no mistake, this isn't just a legendary Payne entry - like Aliens it's an iconic entry that can stand alone - an instant classic that undoubtedly inspired more than gaming, isn't that right Mr Wick & Co. After replaying it for the 6th time since 2012 (it's now August 2023) I remain entirely sold. I played the first two once all the way through. The impact was memorable, even iconic but the novelty wore thin & wasnt enough to inspire multiple playthroughs. I've a very powerful editing suit. I maxed (pun intended) every setting, including AA on my rig. Wow! Just WOW! Every time I play the game the experience is a revelation. It is also a more complete game than the previous in every sense let alone the fact that it has multiplayer and challenges. BTW many people loved MP. I'd rather have it and not want to play it than not. I'm baffled by the lack of overall love from the community and why some feel it's not good due to a few aesthetic changes whilst ignoring the fact that RockStar dialled everything way, way beyond the initial game and it's sequel. And MP3's story is not as basic as some make out. It is by far the most complex, which is why many don't understand/appreciate the execution/editing/art style. I love the noir New York City stage. It's legendary. That said, MP3 is as good, if not better than the rest (it's certainly a contender for the best action game ever), if you remove nostalgia, and factor in the woeful amount of improvements and overall delivery. Gawd, there's so much I could say. I'm absolutely jazzed. Totally pumped. I think I'll go replay it again! Thank you for your insightful take and love of the craft & experience. I make and present films for an automotive chanel (landroverphotoalbum). I honestly thought about starting a game chanel purely to gift Max 3 the love it deserves. Not since the likes of Quake, C&C, Allied Assault, HL etc has a game impacted so (I'm 46 years old). Hell, as a cinematic game I'd go as far as conteder for the best game ever, when viewed through objective eye's that aren't stuck wanting rinse and repeat yet expanding, adhering to, maintaining and improving the IP to a point that, as with Terminator 2 or Aliens, a sequel is not only unnecessary, it would be an abusive knee-jerk cash-grab by exec's that only think via wallets and/or agendas. Again, thanks for you film. I dig that someone views the experience as I do. PS, I believe the game is going to become a classic with the remaster of the first two imminent. MP3 ages like wine. I feel you could potentially make another two vids if you're feeling it. Technically you've said what needed to be said, however there's always room for 'more' by those who love something. A talented chap such as yourself will find a compelling angle & narrative to roll with. You've certainly earned my sub and everyone else's. I'm now gonna explore the rest of your channel. Cheers!

I know the pinkertons are coming at anytime now but still. (Please don't bash me in comment section I love both GTA & RDR Series) On the other hand Games like LA Noire, Manhunt or Max Payne shines because they only focus on the linear story and their is a rush throughout the game.

I can tell your speaking from passion and that's the best kind of creator on this platform. Also there are some things to work on and strive for to be better but thats with pretty much everything. You have set the bar high already, but there is always more room to grow and I for one, am greatly looking forward to following you on this journey and seeing how great it turns out. Thank you!

It was nice to learn a new perspective to view this game. I would have loved if you also talked about the cutscenes & gameplay interwoven beautifully, which many people hated, saying if they were watching a movie or playing a video game. I personally loved em' & still find it unique in the gaming world even today. On an ending note, great video! PS:- Remedy is remaking the first two titles. I'm excited! Are you ???

17:50 Max does have some pretty funny lines about painkillers when he pick them up in the levels. Most of them imply that he's aware that this addiction is bad, though.

I really like Dan Houser's take on the max payne character and I liked rockstar's own approach in making an action game. of course Sam Lake great and im not saying one is better than the other but im glad that rockstar took the risk on changing the tone and going with an older max. I also agree that its kind of hard to go back to play max payne 1 and 2. That said i really like the micheal mann/tony scott style of action which focused on characters who were just super lethal headshotters vs the john woo bullets all over the place style of the first 2 games. It's a really good trilogy altogether and wrapped nicely. I would love an action game that plays like max payne 3 for more of this gameplay thats for sure.

It's good to see Max Payne 3 get the praise it deserves compared to most who say "No New York means bad sequel".

I think the change in setting could have been marketed/presented better to alleviate the understandable concerns of fans, but in the end it served to drive home the point of the game that Max has changed. He’s no longer in a dark place, both literally and metaphorically.

One of the first games I got on PC and I absolutely loved it the gunplay is amazing and the soundtrack is my favorite of any game. Great Video btw

This game got away from me on release. I was in the middle of a big life move, new job, new town, etc. But I remember it's release. Always a big fan of the series, from the original back in 2000 in college. I picked up MP3 on Steam last year some time, and have finally gotten around to playing it. What a game, I'm about 60% through it so far. I have a very new rig (13700k/4070ti) and if you turn up everything on this game, it'll really give it a workout to this day. It still looks phenomenal. Great game, I'd love to see more from the series, but I understand it was to be the finale.

Well, at least you now know how really good Max Payne 3 is. Better later than never.

Holy shit, this has to be the best analysis of Max Payne 3 I've ever seen

I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thank you! I’m so excited for the Remedy remakes, I hope they knock it out of the park so we could potentially see an upgraded version of Max Mayne 3 released on current gen as well.

If I'm honest... Max Payne 3 is still the best one in the trilogy, and I speak from having played Max Payne 1 and 2 back in the day. There's something about this game that somehow, makes me fall in love with it and always want to re-play it. Every time I see the ending, I get sad but happy at the same time, because it's the end of Max's story, and yet, I want to see more of him... maybe that's why I keep replaying this masterpiece.

It's the best 3rd person shooter of all time.

The first two need to be remastered for sure. It would be so sweet. However I think they need a GTA6. That’s the next one they need to do. RDR2 was cool and all but GTA6 is the game everybody has been wanting for almost a decade.

They're getting a remake.

The gameplay in this game is just pure delight. I think this might be the best pure action third person shooter in history to be honest. I know the gripes people have with the story, etc compared to the other 2 entries in the franchise but from a pure gameplay perspective, this game is incredible.

Great video that increased my appreciation for this game and I hope the remakes for max payne 1 and 2 follow in the same footsteps of 3 in terms of gameplay and maybe bring health back to make to make the soundtrack

Great job! Very deep and multifaceted analysis! Max Payne is my favorite videogame character (MP 1 was the first game I've ever played). I totally agree with you. In MP 3 Max finally finds his peace. He breaks the curse, he's no more oppressed by a sense of guilt. That's why I don't want a sequel to this game, even though I'm a huge fan of the series.

14:35 when your gunning your way through the airport and TEARS starts blasting is one of the craziest fights in a game I’ve ever played

My man great video! Max Payne 3 is one of the best games ever made. I also wanted to add that the song 9 círculos was also written specifically for the game, the first part of the song it’s mean to express the internal conflict of max while the second part it’s meant to represent the wider political perspective of São Paulo, also the prequel comic makes reference to Marcel Proust writer of the novel in search of lost time which fits with the whole jumping back and forth of the timeline of the game. I think so much love and depth when into the making of this game and I believe is one of the greatest. It’s my favorite game of all time for sure.

The ending of MP3 really gives Max a proper conclusion to his story, a good satisfying end that leaves Max to let go of his past and his dead family that built on his guilt and inner demons. I don't think Max deserves another sequel, to see him once again goes insanity of killing, just let him having peace. What the series really only need is a remake of the first two games with the new RAGE engine.

the one aspect of this game I loved the most is that no character has a perfection arc , if we didn't have any flaws in the character of max or the people around him . there will be nothing to root to , making us feel empathetic about
