R.I.P. James McCaffrey, he will forever be Max Payne....I tried my best to share Max's journey while giving context for all 3 games (especially since a lot of people haven't played the first 2.) I hope I still did the character justice . Keeping relevant information without going too deep or omitting crucial events/changes in his life. Maybe do a complete story/timeline of events to go as a "companion" with this video? I feel I still left out a bit of information but I wanted to focus on Max the character and his headspace over the years. What do you think? A timeline video or just leave this be?

Any Max Payne vidéo is good so a time line series is good in my book. Also i wanted to share a couple of éléments to add to your vidéo on what made Max move. First Pasos, this guy is similar to Max a failed cop and a failed security guy but with his optimistic side which is the opposite of Max he has something that Max don’t a fiance and unborn child even though he wronged him by leaving him Max saw a lot of him in Passos, he also says an underrated line « Life worth living ». I think this detail is a big reason on the ending when Max is off the sunset

Yep, people can relapse from different reasons, at different points in their lifes. He lost his family, then he fall in love with a killer who worked for Inner Circle, Lem betrayed him, Bravura almost died. Maybe Max despised Lem and Winterson relationship, because it was like a mirror of his own relationship with Mona. Also, detective Winterson had a son, and Max will have to carry the weight of being the one who killed his mother.

Of course, the classical “realistically he would still be depressed” for the strawmans that keep thinking that max Payne 3 has good writing lmfao. Max shouldn't have been depicted as a drunken bum that wallows in his suddenly existent misery. 2 already had Max as a depressed alcoholic (AA meetings mentioned by Bravura twice during the story) but the difference is: Remedy made it a subtle element for his character. Not so blatantly explicit like in 3. Another aspect is how he talks about things. In 1 and 2 he makes metaphors that feel more fitting for a "poetic" man, 3's come off more generic, with some sounding outright wrong for Max to say. Different time, but also drastically different style and delivery. Oh, and the head-shaving? Still the same grumpy, bumbling guy till the end. So much for a change for the better. He shouldn't be grieving over his family again. That grief was resolved by the end of 2. Besides, it doesn't get brought up a whole lot, or even a proper closure. Ripping off a scab and letting the wound bleed, I say. And why write off Mona's involvement so much? Connecting with her helped him find that closure in the first place. And Winterson's grave? "Very bad call", he says. Things would've gone chaotic had he not pulled the trigger, not to mention missing out entirely on his resolve to move on. He shouldn't be cursing like a sailor. It's a real off-putting aspect that doesn't click with the previous games. Max had ONE curse word in 1, for emphasis; "bullshit", describing his work with Alex during his nightmare in Part II Prologue. In 3 he curses way too often and it doesn't feel like the same character is speaking. Not to mention the out-of-place slurs in the script. Even the N-WORD made its way in, how?? Now, anyone saying that "9 years does these things to a man" or “max was written like a real person, realistically he would still have grief.” Max isn't that kind of man. He isn't a real person. He doesn't talk or even think like one. He survived an OD of a drug that makes people hallucinate and break down, a magnum bullet to the head, not to mention a long drop (seemingly on his head) that did almost kill him. His style is distinct and uniform in 1 and 2 while in 3 it is clearly very different. I don't see 3 as part of the same continuity. It's more of its own thing, with 1-2 happening very differently in concept. Rockstar's style doesn't fit the narrative that Remedy solidified with 2 prior games. Even 3's prequel comics have differences between what happens in 2, like Mona's makeout scene (in the game Max wants Mona, in the comic Max is regretting it; both are supposed to be his internal thoughts). I can accept Max's past (childhood and meeting Michelle before 1) from the prequel comics as part of both continuities. But not the rest of it, and especially 3.

@@sonnypark124 Yeah it's a really lazy excuse to give that the reason Max's whole personality had a shift was him becoming more depressed, when really it was just a complete tonal change by Dan Houser the dude who wrote the third game. He is largely responsible for most of these changes, and for whatever reason believed it was a good idea to make it so Max thought of Mona as just an escapist fantasy he was using to keep him from thinking about his dead family, which was absolutely not what Max in the second game was doing. Continuity as it is, Houser is responsible (as well as a few others who helped write with him) the story that is Grand Theft Auto 4, which did have a pretty good story, so it kind of sucks to see this game, which is a sequel to an amazing piece of storytelling, be turned into Houser's lesser work and is a step below from quality like the other games. I think the sequences where Max is contemplating in his room are the best, because he isn't always saying something generic in response to another character or himself.

What everyone misses is it's the self-destructive journey of an alcoholic. He has a positive outcome in Max Payne 2 but It doesn't matter to him because he just wants to grab another drink And then to self hatred kicks in and it's a never-ending cycle of misery. The critics who hated on Max Payne 3 didn't understand what it's like to go through alcohol/drug withdrawals and the overall need for sobriarity to get that clear-headed clarity a man needs. Max Payne 3 ends with him walking off into the sunset remaining sober. The true happy ending, and of course don't forget the lyrics of the song used in the terminal stage "Tears" Good video man!

Although as he admits in the cemetery they've been dead for a much longer time then he's actually known his own wife in person. Max Payne 2 was falling in love with Mona, someone with too many secrets and the farthest thing from a family woman, at best she's a one night stand that Max never got to experience so he blames himself...

I love how the music explores Max's journey with the main theme being reflective of his depression throughout the series. One introducing it to us and two being heavy but with lighter violins, showing some sense of hope representing Mona. 3 gives us the penultimate version with stronger cellos and an added chorus signifying a greater fall. Most importantly are the two songs that play at the end of 2 and 3, Late Goodbye and Tears. Late Goodbye is literally Max Payne himself reflecting on the people he's lost; a wife, a daughter, a lover, his only friend Vlad and himself. Tears is his redemption, a rising of his forgotten human spirit and the acceptance of his loss and the reignition of his will to live. However, this will isn't motivated by revenge or love, it's motivated by himself. I'll be honest, when I played through that airport level and tears started playing, I got chills. It felt like it would have been Michelle singing to Max to let go of his pain and move on but not to forget those that he lost.

I don 't think people understand how much pain you get from loosing a love one. You don't just accept the terms of how people die and live on usually; It usually is a constant burn that eats you out and there might be moments where you can feel acceptance but usually theres other mental obstacles that come through and make you relapse on that pain. I think Max is a perfect example of this and I think thats why he's so intriguing to watch his pain.

I’ve known people who’ve lost their wife, their husband, and even my own family that lost their only child. When people lose the thing they care about most in the world, there’s really no moving on past that. Some learn to cope better than others, but the memories and the pain never leaves. I think Remedy and Rockstar did a outstanding job with Max Payne and his arc through all 3 games. The idea that he had “moved on” at the end of 1 or 2 May have been touching, but there really is no moving on for him, just learning to live with it.

Best game i ever bought and played back in 2012. I loved the change of setting and how grounded and grim the story was, the gunplay was top tier and the action scenes were some of the most fond memories i have about that game. Max's decline in mental and physical health made sense as a man with so much guilt,trauma and self hatred its understandable to fall into the dark and deep hole of addiction and unwillingness to find a reason to keep going which made his comeuppance even more gratifying to see unfold and in the end max got somewhat of a happy redemption ending. Also this game had some of the best soundtracks ever put in a game that blend so well with the gameplay, HEALTH did a fantastic job with some of their tracks outright specifically made to play as memories that haunt max to this day like the track DEAD that plays during the cemetery scene, and one of my most favourite segment of the game was the airport terminal shootout just when TEARS starts playing you instantly get goosebumps, especially if you play on higher difficulties it elevates the intensity but also speaks to max himself in the form of his dead family and why its important for him to move on. Overall definitely recommend grabbing it you won't regret it!

In the second one, he still had his cop work to distract him from the grief. By the third, he had none of that left. Everyone responsible for his family's death were dead and so was Mona. And he wasn't a cop anymore. It's not like he could just start a stamp collection after all that. It was realistic for him to become an alcoholic drug addict.

Throughout the year every year I go back and play them I even have Max Payne One installed on all my phones at all times😂 Great Video My G! Keep up the good work my brother! 🤘🏽🫡

I don't know. Mp3's Max doesn't feel like Remedy's. As for your point about MP2, well obviously the events of both games would screw you up, but it _is_ a retread. It's tired and he has gone through the lesson a third time. There's also even more reasons such as references he makes, how his pessimism has turned into something completely different, and he's not even a good bodyguard.

Yes I agree mp3 isn’t even that good mp2 is the best then mp1 mp3 just doesn’t even feel like a max Payne game and completely disregards the 2nd

@@angeloh58d Disagree. While the Story of MP3 isn’t as good as the first two imo. It was still solid and It has much better Gunplay. I can’t really go back to MP2 after MP3 unless playing chronically of course. For disregarding the second game. Not really. canonically losing another lover and having everyone around you die again. Yeah that shit would take a toll no matter how many years. Even if Mona survived the events of the second game (DOA Difficulty) she was a wanted fugitive IIRC. She would have been away for a Very long time. In the Prequel Comics to MP3 and to some extent the main game. Max considered his relationship with Mona “cheating” and grief it makes sense though. Given how quickly he fell in love with Mona despite acknowledging she was an Inner Circle Assassin and he still missed his family.

@@motorsporttj1689this tells me you clearly didn’t pay attention to the story. In fact, that part of the prequel comic is character assassination for max. in max payne 2, it’s explicitly shown that Max wants to be with Mona.

@@sonnypark124 yeah he does. But at the same time he does acknowledge that he was just running on pure Cope. Listen to the dialogue when Max was making out with Mona “to change the past, my wife and baby girl back” He was still thinking about his family while making out with an Assassin. during MP1 he quickly got along well with Mona despite the whole reason for killing the Punchinello Crime Family in that point of the story was to avenge his wife and child. I don’t think that part of the Prequel comic was character assassination. It would make sense he thought that entire Relationship with Mona was “grief” or “cheating” in a sense. Also Sam Lake, Max Paynes Creator helped with MP3 and it’s Prequel Comics. Are you really trying to say he doesn’t know his own Character? Cause I can say that to a number of Creators. Sam Lake though he knew what he was doing.

@@motorsporttj1689 And that's all and well, but don't pretend that the direction Rockstar went is something Lake envisioned for the character. I'm well aware that rockstar owns the rights to the series, that doesn't mean I have to pretend their version of the character is accurate to the original. On that note, MP3 was not a max Payne game in tone and character. Here are Sam Lake’s official words: "Rockstar guys, Dan Houser and the others, they reached out to us at a certain point in development (of Max Payne 3), and asked if we would be interested to play it through and give notes, which was really awesome and really nice from them. And it, to me, I mean, it most certainly looked like a Rockstar game. And it was their take on this idea, which was wonderful, I felt. It was much better in my mind to go that way than to try to maybe imitate too much what we would have done. He more or less says what I am saying, just not as freely. He says that he finds the game to be great, but that it has taken a different direction than the originals. And also, remedy or lake had no involvement with MP3 further than being consultants, Dan houser wrote the third game and the prequel comics were written by lake (along with Dan houser as well.)
