R.I.P. James McCaffery. Portrayed one of the most engaging characters in gaming and any media I'd say. Need more recognition.

[@tacticaljunk1608]

"So I guess I had become what they wanted me to be..." "BALD?!" Welcome back to Max Payne, Macchi.

[@MacchiGames]

I was not prepared for the alternate skin change! Maybe younger me would have been upset at him for being bald, but he actually looks pretty badass!

[@yourpalsammy9773]

You know the messed up thing about grief? You can either fool yourself into thinking you're finally over it, but you're not. Or you can relapse back into it. Either way, especially for a noir type like Max, it's a downward spiral.

[@goli4t18]

"ive never seen max abuse drugs throughout the games" old guy ate painkillers like skittles lol

[@illgillbates9561]

Great stuff, I love the whole Max Payne series and also the fact that you're having so much fun with it! I'd recommend, instead of getting a 100% headshot rate, to maybe shoot some guys in the legs or something, see what happens, I don't know.. have fun with it! Also you should let the 'Ingram' rip and just spray without bullet time at least once. This was fun, I'm looking forward to part 2!

[@lionlyons]

"Am I supposed to understand it?" Don't worry, R* doesn't expect players to speak Portuguese. Max feels disconnected from the other characters in the game because he doesn't speak their language. R* is trying to immerse players by making them feel the same way.

[@MacchiGames]

Alright so that's definitely what I thought. It makes sense though, definitely adds to Max being all alone in a completely different and unfamiliar environment. I'm definitely not used to it, but we'll see how it goes!

[@pedrobernardes98]

Sam talked about the direction rockstar went with the story is not what he would've done and you can tell because there is a contrast with the ending of 2 with this one. He's not mad about it or anything like that and, obviously, it's up to anyone to have their own opinions. He did write a prequel comic of this game tho

[@MacchiGames]

Yeah, it definitely feels that way! I mentioned it somewhere in the video, but I was confused where the story would pick up since the ending of the last game hints at Max finally moving on. (I guess not) I might have to check out the prequel comic, you think there may be some spoilers of the third game in there? Thanks for sticking around Pedro, always nice to have you on here and to read your comments. Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@pedrobernardes98]

@@MacchiGames I think you should hold on because it does show some stuff that could be seen as spoilers and even though It's always good to get that Sam Lake writing, It's all about connecting to rockstars vision so you still have that big contrast feeling in the comic. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on how this game talks about the previous one since it's a little controversial. Always a pleasure to watch your videos bro

[@pedrobernardes98]

@@MacchiGames It's also pretty funny as a Brazilian seeing people play this game

[@DaBlackSmokeMonster]

I knew nothing of max Payne 3 before this video and I have to say it's insane. The graphics, style and gameplay looks really great and so much fun and I can see you're enjoying it too Macchi. I can't wait to see how the game progresses.

[@tacticaljunk1608]

Rockstar reached out to Remedy out of respect and good will, but Remedy continually told them they should go their own way and not worry too much about what Sam or the team would've done with regards to mechanism, settings, writing etc. There's a lot of reasons why this game is so divisive but I don't want to go into too much until you're at the end. I wouldn't want to harsh your vibe. I'm glad you're enjoying it. But it's worth noting that a lot of people immediately put this game on their shitlist because it doesn't take place in NY, Max's redesign was shown off without easing people into it (depicting the slender cool Max Payne as a fat bald dude was pretty extreme), they tried to nickle and dime people with multiplayer DLC, and R* initially were very keen to replace James McCaffrey. Claiming they wanted an older actor for Max, forgetting that James had in fact aged since 2001. So not all the critique at the time was fair or is relevant today.

[@MacchiGames]

It's awesome that Rockstar was pretty respectful about it, but unfortunate that it seems like Remedy didn't want anything to do with it. Honestly, I think Remedy was done after Max Payne 2 and they've pretty much finished what they set out to do, so at that point they didn't mind whatever happened to the third game. I'll definitely keep an open mind throughout the game, I'm just hoping the entire thing remains consistent. But damn, replacing James McCaffrey? That's just asking for the game to fail, I'm so glad that never happened!

W Upload Macchi I Loved It 🔥❤

[@MacchiGames]

Hello Kraken!! You've been waiting for this game for a very long time, hope you enjoyed the video, super glad to have you on here!

[@krakengaming2016]

@@MacchiGames i definitely did 🙏❤

[@ClayDer]

What a great beginning of the amazing final chapter of Max's Journey! Have a nice experience,man😊 I love it so much✌️🤗❤️

[@Triggerhappy88]

Bro, I just finished binge watching your Max Payne 1&2 playthroughs so I'm interested to see what you think of the rest of this game!

[@Meltman42]

Im really happy you started this! Also, i was typing how good you are while you said "im so bad" YOURE NOT.

[@MacchiGames]

Thank you so much for being here and watching the video! So far I'm doing good, but we all know how these games go. Eventually I will die multiple times!!

[@YuriOrdinario]

this game is so realistic that when they get shot at the arm they do an small stun but on the testicles more longer

[@raidenstern6617]

5:17 i think the reason why he didnt move on is because he lied again just like how he did evident by the intro for max payne 2 "i lied to myself that it was over my loved ones were still dead. it wasnt over."

[@ivanbutenko8778]

Мне очень нравится Max Payne 3, да и вообще вся трилогия! Спасибо за начало прохождения 3 части:)

[@kartikahluwalia8356]

I like you man i like your vibe brother keep up with the good shit.

[@Balouma_]

We need more Episodes Macchi 🥺

[@SpicyRikers]

Oh dam he's back with Max! 😀

[@RoyCappuccino]

Hyped to see the rest

[@rsf1kirito483]

Machi keep eye on Golden Guns pieces both are 3 each guns if you collect all you get golden weapon you get damage and extended mags and ammo

[@MacchiGames]

You know me, I'll try my best to find them all! Is it like a separate weapon or does your default one get upgraded?

[@YoussefEssam-ol3xg]

I'm glade that youtube suggested you to me

[@SidPhoenix2211]

James McCaffrey is finally Max's voice AND his face. He did the mocap for Max, too. I know a number of Max Payne fans don't like the story of this one or dont consider it a "max paune game" (which is a bit wack, imo)... But i love this game. It might be mt favorite out of the three. Lake encouraged Rockstar to do their own thing and I'm glad they did. They made a game only they could've made, instead of cheaply trying to imitate someone else's style. Plus, remedy was ready to move on to new stuff and they did! They went on to make Alan Wake and the rest is history And i think the choices they made for the setting and premise of the story... It made sense. It's certainly more exciting and fresh than yet another stroll through a seedy New York would've been. And i genuinely enjoy the narrative arc and the vibes. I hope you keep an open mind and aren't too afraid to pop out of cover and just blast some fools lol. Cant wait for the Max Payne 1+2 remakes by Remedy. If some of the sections in Alan Wake II & gamefeel are any indication... they're gonna absolutely SLAP.

[@matheusemd]

It's a big departure from the previous games, but the improved graphics and gameplay and the spetacular score by HEALTH make this a remarkable game for me! Here are some tips: 1. In each level you can pick up parts of a weapon in the game to turn them into golden guns, which gives them extra ammo capacity and increased damage 2. Unlike the other games, you have to actively look for clues like you did and you can also look for TVs to watch them like in Max Payne 2. You should also look for pianos to see a little easter egg in the game (you missed the first one but it's right in the beginning of chapter 1 in case you want to check it out) 3. There's something called Last Man Standing that didn't happened in these first 2 chapters: if your health reaches zero but you have at least one painkiller, the game goes into bullet time and the camera focus on the enemy who just shot you, if you manage to kill him you get to come back from the dead. It can be useful in later chapters because it replenishes your full health instead of taking a painkiller and replenishing just part of it, but you may run out of ammo in your gun or the enemy may be in a difficult position to kill (no matter how much Max twists and glitches his body lol) 4. The weapons system is very realistic in this game: Max can carry 2 sidearms in his holsters and 1 shotgun or rifle on his left hand, so when you dual wield the sidearms he has to let go of the weapon on his left hand (the negative is that he always switches to his sidearm when you're about to enter a cutscene 😁)

[@rsf1kirito483]

Wondering Sam Lake it's not involved MP3 Remedy sold rights Max Payne to Rockstar Games here's explain Despite a positive reception, Max Payne 2 sold poorly, leading Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive to cite the "continued disappointing sales of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne" as one of the causes for the company's reforecasted sales for 2004

[@MacchiGames]

That explains a lot of things, but I refuse to believe Max Payne 2 sold poorly, that is so heartbreaking!! It was so good, but it might have been underappreciated during its time.

[@Wezuyam]

Q: Why Max Payne 3 doesn't have comic illustrations like the first 2? A: Because Marvel.

[@fabriciocabralok]

Hey Macchi I love your gameplay in this loved game to me. You know why I dont like this one too much? cuz I think they dont understand the character...maybe is nickpicking but in the first one Max leave smoking, even after the baby is dead, he say no to B.B and to me he doesnt smoke in respect for his dead family, and we see in this game smoking..is like...they put the suffering just for putting in, the drunk, the smoke...just for see him sufering like in a cheap way...Sam Lake do not write this game and it tell. The gameplay...yeah man, is more violent, better in soooome many ways, and love the fact they try something new like doin it in Brazil...to bad the character is potray. Love Macchi please keep doin this game

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Btw: there's an excellent blindfiring mechanic in the game, when you're in cover. Probably the best feeling blind firing in any game. Be sure to utilize it!! Its VERY useful. Also: wrt the screen flashes, choppy editing, and chromatic aberration... I think that it id both an aesthetic choice AND to showcase Max's near-constantly buzzed, high (on painkillers etc) state.

[@Hayastantzi92]

Story is a lot different from the previous 2, so this experience will be a lot more Mature with tons of heavy Swearing

[@ivanbutenko8778]

Кстати, в мультиплеере много достижений так что если нужна будет помощь могу помочь.

[@OchdDottMp3]

Me Payne 3 for eel for eel

[@MacchiGames]

Is Max Payne secretly a Maxdott reference?

[@SidPhoenix2211]

This game straight up has one of the best set of third person shooter mechanics. Too bad Rockstar never capitalized on it :/ And that score by HEALTH.... All-timer score, regardless of medium.

[@kR1t1calbatteryOfficial]

Day 17 of asking Macchi to play GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Vice City, or GTA III.

[@yevanasvetya5486]

Turns out blind playthrough isnt what i think it is. In that case, try Spec Ops The Line if you havent tried it. Definitely a blind playthrough material

[@connieredacted7557]

afaik the game doesn't really punish you for staying in cover so I urge you to dive out like an idiot and make those classic max payne action shots yourself, hopefully it's not too backseaty cause it'll probably make you die more but hey... at least it might look cool? :)

[@connieredacted7557]

and god damn the music is so good every time...

[@MacchiGames]

I feel like this is definitely a fun play style so I might actually have to try it out next episode! Also, don't worry about the backseating! As long as it doesn't spoil anything or heavily hints toward the plot, I'm definitely open for it. With my Portal series, people would slightly steer me towards certain areas that have cool easter eggs which definitely gave me a better experience since I was able to hear a lot more dialogue!

[@asystoles5087]

I'm still waiting for Half-Life video...
