"I had a dream of my wife. She was dead, but it was alright." Thank you for your performances James McCaffrey, your voice will forever remain iconic and be missed! R.I.P

[@fadeskywards1245]

You made me tear up😢 with this One dam bro

[@Soresu118]

To this day, I still don't know the meaning of this sentence.

[@Doo-l5x]

​@@Soresu118 Without spoiling, I think that it shows that Max Payne was able to accept that his wife was dead. Previously, it seemed that he was trapped in limbo trying to avenge her. It was Mona, who was able to show Max, that there is more to life. I do think that, he probably still feels for the daughter he lost and his life.

Fun Fact: This song was originally a poem written by Max Payne writer and auteur Sam Lake, who also portrayed Max in the first game. He has also contributed to other hit Remedy games like Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control. The man's a genius.

He wrote Alan Wake bro. And yeah, he's basically the poet behind Max

[@aprilschauer4864]

But he never reach the magic from MP 1 and part 2 again,just my opinion..

Alan Wake's chapter two prologue has the first two manuscripts from his book that's apparently supposed to remind you of Max and I like how they're read out by James McAffrey himself! It even explicitly says in one of them that it was a late goodbye 🥺

Max Payne 2 is one of the greatest games I've played. This is so nostalgic. Sure Max 3 is great, but the first 2 Max Payne games are classics.

[@ten-dimension9390]

Story wise I think first two games take the lead. Max Payne 3 was fun in gameplay. First two games were fun in stories and gameplay too. Max Payne is the type of series that I love because I am a story guy. That's why I only play single player games and I have played a lot of games. Max Payne story is really depressing. And I like sad stories. I like sad stories with sad ending more that normal or happy ones. The same feeling you feel in Red Dead Redemption 2 in Arthur's story. Life is Strange another masterpiece with sad stories. When I played Life is Strange 1, throughout the whole game I was feeling the sadness that was in Max's and Chloe's hearts and Alex's heart in True colours. Mafia Series have the same touch especially first two. These are the ones I currently can think of. There are many more. Max Payne's writer Sam lake's another masterpiece Alan Wake another great story. And Quantum break is one of the best time travel games. I still have to play Control and am looking forward to it

Decided to boot this game back up and fell in love with it just like it was the first time. I can now confidently say personally, Max Payne 2 is the best third-person shooter ever made. Every single dialogue in this game I've memorized by heart - including those insanely creative in-game TV shows. The music by Poets of the Fall then puts the nail on the coffin.

This was the first one I ever heard. In the Max Payne 2 game. And I've been following these boys since then. Little did I know that there was a lot of foreshadowing here for what was to come. I'm serious. Ended up with multiple military deployments lost my family lost a child turned into a drug addict thankfully I'm almost 4 years in recovery from that...... I have walked hand in hand with all kinds of different darkness. This was also the first song that I learned how to play the rhythm guitar to. Nobody compares .. no one comes close to the music or vocal skill that these boys have brought to us over the last 20 years and I don't think anyone's going to anytime soon. They have set the bar at perhaps an unreachable level.

Last few days I spent playing Max Payne 1 & 2. I haven't played them for about 15 years but I remember this song playing at the end. After finishing the game and the song started playing I noticed a few things for the 1st time. During game-play the janitor at Max Payne's building is singing this song before being interrupted by Max as he was investigating the fire started by the cleaners gang. Also as I was reading the credits at the end after finishing the game I read that the creator of the game is the one who wrote the lyrics and what even surprised me more is to find out that the legend Kevin Conroy had a voice role in the game. It's sad how life went on so fast. Now Kevin Conroy left this world and Max Payne 2 is almost 20 years old and those who played the game while they were teenagers (myself included) are now in their 30s. But at least we had great memories created by great people who made a work of art such as this game

We used bullet time and the pause to look at the shots being fired in still-shot, the expressions Max had, everything. So much awesomeness from that one game. When MP2 released, I had a good enough rig and I rushed out out buy it. Mona singing this song in the shower ;) after that awesome funhouse level was my first intro to POTF. The closing song sealed it. I loved it. I bought Alan Wake because it was Sam Lake's writing and looked awesome with a different play style. POTF's War was a bonus. God, so much talent crammed into these games, talent that movies cannot do justice. The less mentioned about Wahlberg's mess the better.

I, like many others in the comment section, have had a childhood that reverberates with James' signature deep voice. Now, going through all the comments, I can't help getting a bit teary-eyed. I love you James. Rest in peace.

[@nephtys1959]

Just discovered Poets Of The Fall and fell in love with their songs ... they speak loud to my soul

[@LittleAngryCarrots]

Was so obsessed with this song when I was a teenager an after playing Alan wake 2 I had no idea they were so involved with remedy this whole time. Definitely was a good feeling to rediscover this band again

[@rustymicron7154]

I still to this day, vividly remember the moment when I finished max payne 2, it was around midnight and raining outside. I finished both the games in about 3 or 4 days. I remember in the last few comic panels, I saw Max smiling as in he came to terms with what happened to him and accepted it and moved on. He says the line "I had a dream of wife, she was dead, but it was alright", the game ends, screen goes black, Late Goodbye starts playing on the credit screen. I cant explain what I was feeling, maybe some sadness, some hope, but whatever I felt I still remember to this day and no other game or media has made me feel that way. It wasnt a game, it was an truly an experience, and I'm glad I was one of the lucky people to have it.

[@Gargantesful]

The beggining of this tune is like ending...to everything.. thanks James for making up my childhood.

[@grovestreet4lyfe]

Playing this song once again, in memory of James McCaffrey... It's honestly a sad song now 💔

[@onurpro9514]

my all time favorite childhood game growing up This was a devastating day and huge loss Rip to the myth the legend and the payne himself. 🕊️James mccaffrey🕊️ This is the late goodbye….

I've grown accustomed to his voice. Rest in peace Mr. Mccaffery.

WE NEED THE MAX PAYNE TRILOGY REMASTERED. Generation defining games right here with some damn good life lessons. EDIT: We got it boys. The remakes are coming❤

[@Bafford]

Remastering them would only take away their difficulty and charm. Besides Max Payne sells worse than GTA or RDR. Rockstar wouldn't risk putting that much effort into games with potential low sales. And the third game hardly needs a remaster. The only thing it needs in my opinion is to make 70% of the cutscenes playable. This was the most annoying thing in this game. I mean, we can open doors by ourselves, right? We don't need a cutscene for that....

[@CliffuckingBooth]

@@Bafford Max Payne 3 sold 4 million copies in first week. And more and more people want a sequel. So remaking first two games would have been a great step closer to it. But they need to keep the dark atmosphere of the first game.

[@udbhavvats2079]

Congrats in joining the "Comments that aged like wine" club.

[@JV-ll1cu]

There are remakes coming for the first 2 games

[@xNex_.]

I came from the future to say that Max Payne 1 and 2 won a remake made by Remedy and not by Rockstar :D ( Remedy makes the game and Rockstar releases it for them)

[@Liberteen666]

Rest in peace James McCaffrey.. Thank you for Max Payne.

[@alexreid4675]

Rest in peace, James McCaffrey. It's a goodbye, but you keep driving into the night. After all, there, in the distance, the dawn is slowly blooming.

Rest in Payne. It still feels bad。I hope James' family, knows how much he is loved.

[@abhisheksinghrajpurohit1266]

I don't know how people can diss like such beautiful songs . Maybe they don't know how hard was singing in past, without any computer programming and additional adjustable at low and high Ridhams

[@Gamesta100]

I finished Max Payne 2 for the first time ever two days ago and this song was amazing and a perfect ending song to the game.
