Fun Fact about Alfred Wooden in old German mythology Wooden was their variant of Odin so it's fitting he was the one eyed leader of these Norse named organisations.

[@dannydadk]

I have been waiting patiently for this since the Max Payne video.

[@noctislucis9521]

one of the best video games of all time

[@vunenicar]

so real

[@KealanRobert]

Absolutely

[@rofflesvanwagon]

I played max payne 2 on my pc for hundreds of hours. It really felt like it upped the chaos from the first by fully embrace tons of physics

[@ziad3994]

Max Payne 2&3 are the greatest 3rd person shooters of all time imo.

[@krismate2895]

Love the Max Payne series. I remember fondly playing these as a teen. Can't wait for the remakes!

[@wafu6058]

Words could not articulate my excitement every time you upload

[@vunenicar]

same here

[@anstafa1]

Your videos help me sleep, and I mean that in the nicest way possible 👍

[@Emacula93]

One thing I always liked about these games is for the most part all the characters looked like normal people. Like, no one is particularly ‘sexy’ in max Payne 1 & 2 and it makes it feel more grounded and realistic (all things considered)

[@ActionQuackson]

Thanks for the video!

[@ethanrodriguez4207]

Recently discovered you because I needed an explanation for the outlast trials and could not have found a more proper introduction to you. Love your retro vault and lore & order videos! ❤

[@realtalkrealthingsent.8024]

I’m just saying max payne 3 has a crazy story if it wasn’t apart if the max Payne series.

[@ziad3994]

Max Payne 3 is the best 3rd person shooter of all time gameplay wise.

[@KP-uh5ju]

Winterson's gaslight speedrun on Max is my favorite part of the story

[@le_me]

I have been waiting for this one since the first max payne video and this was a banger as well.... love your work and looking forward to another great video!

[@Dontizzle24]

Idk if you can tell based on my profile picture, but Max Payne 1 is literally my all time favorite game. The best storytelling I’ve heard tbh. But, MP2 was a great sequel. I really underestimated how good it would be when I first was able to play it

[@garrettsmitherman9823]

Never played any of these games but damn this series is interesting. Keep up the good work

[@davidplatzer5041]

Will you make Videos about the Far Cry Games? Love these Retro Vault and your Lore & Order Series

[@zachfromsbh]

Hey man, just wanted to say you’ve been one of my favorite creators lately! Love putting on your videos while I build and paint my warhammer 40K collection

[@giacomoromano8842]

My father played this game, my older brother and, when older, i did too. We loved it unconditionally.

[@KealanRobert]

This game (much l;Ike the first) set the benchmark for how games are made today. Something as simple as the ‘rag doll’ effect was amazing to see developed.

[@SolarMechanic]

I love watching the shadows on the wheels of the cars spin when they move.

[@krugz92]

Great video, as always. I actually enjoyed all the Max Payne games.

[@anceledusstorm7534]

Gaming Harry rules

[@leen8430]

I love the Retro Vault. From the intro to the vibes, it's such a nice installment. Another great video, thanks a lot! Not sure if you take requests, but would you consider covering the F.E.A.R. games? I can't find any proper explanations of the story and lore, just gameplay reviews, although it was immensely popular at its time.

[@Theblackhand1937]

Love this game

[@Alloyd876]

Loved this game

[@Empire_JeSzO]

The music just reminds me of story recapped

[@Mr.Ghostbusters]

Max is pure chad to survive point blank- .50 AE a o the head

[@damacattack8434]

Max Payne 2 was indeed short but VERY sweet.

[@universate5332]

Ps2 and ps3 old. That hit hard lol

[@masterdale1155]

This series is awesome and I can’t wait for the retro vault episode of Max Payne 3

[@ZOMBIEGUNPOWDER]

recently finished playing max payne 3 and it was PEAK. once again, this is another banger video.

[@ziad3994]

Max Payne 3 on PC is the peak of 3rd person shooters genre.

[@titlasagna2172]

My favorite game of all times!! There's no other game like this💯👌❤️

[@Toto-95]

Only Max Payne 3 to go ! 😃

[@LostOneOmega]

My canon is that Mona survived the events of Max Payne 2 and 3 is just a dream he had once.

[@phillyp8t8]

Would love to hear your take on Fear and Hunger

[@MaleekMoha]

You snooze you loose

[@unknownusrname]

I've played them both and they were a fun time.

[@TheJoestewart]

Probably my favourite game ever

[@Polibmi]

As Max Payne 3 was trash for me and the last time I´ve finished Max Payne 2 was on the the hardest difficulty, thus keeping Mona alive, this my way of "happily ever after"

[@kohinarec6580]

I never finished Max Payne 1. I could not beat the blood trail nightmare as I kept falling into the abyss. But I played MP 2 to the end.

[@victorcaval]

Speaking of old games, have you ever played battlezone? It was such a big part of my chieldhood, and i was shocked to know verry fell people knew of it, the plot of a russian and american space war post cold war excavations was so entertaining

[@Listening_Books12345]

I cannot hear the name Puncinello without thinking of Punch from those horrifying Punch and Judy puppets. I don't know why, but they have been used in two different horror novels (sort of) that I've read and I am fucked up about those stupid puppets now

[@leoryff979]

Sheesh, people complain about the courier from Fallout but these guys take headshots like mosquito bites.

[@ChewGingar]

first

[@lb6752]

For your next video can you please take a look at Layers of Fear (2023) I feel like you’d love it and that it’d make a great video

[@vunenicar]

fine, I'll replay max payne

[@sportsmaster8729]

How many bullets to the dome can a man take in a lifetime 🤣

[@whiffyy8973]

Bro you have Sir Daniel Fortesque in the thumbnail, if you play and upload medieval I will forever love you🤣

[@dregravano9781]

Best game ever made only reason why I bought a PlayStation

[@koltonlomas7111]

Do silent hill next please

[@vunenicar]

yesss

[@GaseousSnake]

I fucking love this game.

[@JussiValtanen]

Awesome. Torille 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@eclipseartstudios6352]

Please do medievil and medievil 2 for the retro vault already. The wait is driving me crazy.

[@Rachael87254]

Can you tell me the name and/or where to find the song in the intro please?

[@stereokuuji]

10 years 10years and I'm just realizing the genius behind naming the Sachs twins Mona and Lisa😢 Btw its been 10 years since I first played Max Payne 1

[@JanweriAdeel]

We want max payne 2 remake

[@yungbeast3308]

So are you gonna do a Max Payne 3 breakdown?

[@weezyf775]

i'm watching these videos bc i've never player any max panyne games but want to know the lore before playing 3. these vids were exactly what i needed!! and then you had to throw in the spoiler..WHY!?!?!!?

[@GamingHarryYT]

What spoiler? That Mona is dead? Hardly a spoiler.

[@tahmeed702]

Can you explain some old games like man hunt or silent hill

[@jm131996]

Pls do the third too

[@SKDraco]

Max Payne 3 next?

[@Kartikeyj96]

Please create a video on Max Payne 3 also

[@christianthrasher8677]

[@finavarro97]

[@sgt.castor7422]

Brother do boom series plz

[@fulcrum7455]

How did 2 people survive getting shot in the head

[@User-ju3zg]

Retro?!?! 😭

[@alexpaul4144]

If we are doing retro games I dare you to play godhand…

[@wafu6058]

Can I offer a piece of constructive criticism? I think the comic style panels hold a lot of critical information, I try to read them as you’re speaking but you cut off and switch away too quickly. I think I read fairly quickly but not any faster than average, so I think if you could hold the frame for 1-3 seconds longer it would be really helpful in this, and it wouldn’t be so long that it would mess up your flow too much hopefully? Maybe it’s worth experimenting on to figure out a more appropriate duration of time to show those panels. Other than that these are great and keep up the work!

[@GamingHarryYT]

Thanks for the advice. It’s not something I’ll change on my videos. But you could press pause in order to read them

[@BigBobEnerGGames]

you can literally pause the video yourself lol.

[@alexpaul4144]

Tbh 3 was my favorite

[@mikeg4691]

This is the most noir game ever.

[@StojanceM]

Max Payne 3 isn't part of the Remedy universe and not part of the original cannon.

[@martini10116]

am i missing something or pc version of this game looks way better? the facial animation is off here
