Rest In Peace James McCaffrey. The only man who could ever bring a character like Max Payne to life. You will be cemented in Gaming History as One of the Greatest.

[@criticalbil1]

Yeah, goddamn it. He should have played Max in a movie. He would have killed it.

[@Marksman_12]

May he be at peace.

[@littleendiandistortion6999]

Not just gaming history but life itself. The amount of people here resonating with the character is disturbing, but real in the same time. Thank you for honouring the legend. I hope all the people watching this, and struggling will find the way through it, because its really f*cking hard. I fell honoured to be part of this community. And you should feel the same because you are not alone. We are united. We share the burden that not many will accept or understand.

I really do not know why people didn’t like the third sequel. It’s got probably the most accurate future of Max, with all the flashbacks into the old New Jersey, while, on the other hand, saturated with new software and cinematics, this game really was a bullseye.

@@Cj-xt6tv because Max's story ended in Max Payne 2, he gets over the grief over the death of his family and is reborn, which is why the credit song is called "Late Goodbye" it's about him finally saying goodbye and letting go, although late, he still says goodbye, I don't have any problem with 3 other than the fact they completely ignored his character development in 2, it's over, 2 was all about the letting go and being reborn

As someone who has always struggled with a serious drinking problem, This intro really hits home.... The feeling of "Yep... time to change. I'm done with drinking. gonna sort my shit out". Then seeing Max sitting there.... staring at the photograph. I can see the battle playing out in his head wanting to go out and buy a bottle of scotch. It's so hard to compete with that struggle.

[@magnusdahl7299]

[@vintage_sole4065]

They really hit the dot with this game Max Payne 3 really captures what depression, pain ,and letting go feels like they really hit the nail on this. This is probably the most accurate depiction of what could’ve been in the future him moving on or trying to move on at least trying to get away from it all at the same time battling addiction and Substance Abuse, which is another theme played on in the game which a lot of video games do not do or too scared to do it. and I just don’t know why people dislike the game when it first came out but overtime it got appreciated for what it is. I guess people wanted the old-school noir theme but everything about this the details like the video glitches in video like a camcorder showing Maxes disorientation from the pills that he abuses, and the pure fish out of Water feeling.

[@FlorentineNoble]

this cutscene twists my heart into knots every time I see it. it’s such a perfect reminder of why I believe this to be one of the most flagrantly misunderstood and criminally underrated/underappreciated games i’ve ever played. the story was captivating all the way through (despite several replays) and the writing for max was fantastic despite lacking sam lake’s slick dialogue. the voice acting was first rate and phenomenal, the way you can feel max gradually change, becoming more angry, more aggressive as the game goes on felt so visceral and it was brought to life brilliantly by mccaffrey. the production value and presentation were both top notch, down to the impeccably directed cutscenes, the linear but no less spectacular set pieces, the visual style and the trippy glitch effects. the soundtrack was frankly awesome and it goes down as one of my favorites for any game (I cannot describe how invigorating it was to play through the entire trilogy and get to the exhilarating and rightfully iconic shootout in the airport) and health deserves every ounce of praise that they got. the gunplay struck a perfect balance between feeling weighty and realistic while still being remarkably smooth and fun. everything about this game is perfect to me and as someone who loves the other 2 games (max payne 1 in particular is firmly in my top 5 favorite games of all time) I believe that rockstar crafted as respectful a send off to the series as possible, one that felt unique and distinctive while also generally being one of the most utterly gripping, effortlessly replayable gaming experiences ever. this game means so much to me in so many ways and i’ll always love it/defend it.
