that game was fucking technology

It was fun

Not unbashable, but the first 2 games are timeless masterpieces.

That's Max Payne 2.

the bosses were bullet sponges and some enemy placement felt like shit. Also fighting on stairs wasn't the best, and I remember getting "WOOOOW DUUUDE'd" a few times by dynamite having bullshit range

I fucking love Remedy

Im playing Quantum Break and I accidentally shot a bottle of ketchup, and ketchup actually exploded out of it.

The mustard did the same.

>wine coming out of the barrels after being shot
Aaaaahh, this makes me happy

17 year old game
still looks really decent visually
ran perfectly well on a low-end PC in 2004 (p4 2800, gf 5200fx, 512mb ram)

i find this insanely impressive

Is this modded? I don't remember bullet tracers looking like that.

maybe you're thinking of 1. the webm is from 2.

Nah I know it's from 2. That's ex-Ragnarok, now "Vodka" club's backstage.

You forgot 3.

>or are there glaring flaws?
All the doors look weird.

Man I love 3 but that cutscene shit really ruins repeat playthroughs. Is there a mod that lets you skip them yet?

You can mod your PC to have an SSD because the cutscenes are hiding loadscreens.

does the game give the option to skip them once they're loaded? for some reason I remember it not letting you skip them at all.

>shell casings and magazines don't disappear

I love it when games do this

P.A.M. 1.4 mod
I can uplaod it if you're interested.

max payne 1 yes

2 is weird

3 has bullshit cutscenes every 5 minutes

melee and roll dodging are exploitable and it takes a bit of work to get it to run on win10 but that's it.

WHAT DUH?!
WHACK EM!


AWHHHHHHHHHH

you can shootdodge and no one can hit you kek
i haven't played mp2 in years so i don't remember if they fixed that

Max Payne 3 is unironically one of the best third person shooters ever made, hampered by some of the worst pacing ive ever seen

I'll probably play it vanilla if I decide to replay it after all those years, but thanks.

IT'S PAYNE
HAHA PAIN TO THE MAX

TELL THE DEVIL THE DIEM SENT YOU

What is ironically one of the best TPS ever made?

max payne 1 is so great, the graphics are kinda aged but they used pictures as textures so it still looks good. the snowy jersey atmosphere and maxs dialogue is so good

I would say the only issue is the difficulty scaling being really dumb at times. MP2 wasn't as bad for it but I can't tell you how many times I was re-loading quick saves in MP1 because the game decided to go into Dante Must Die mode and have an enemy blow me away from full health in one shot the second I come into their view.

finito

it's a masterpiece and have a few flaws

Unironically git gud.

dude just circle-strafe enemies
they won't hit you if you have distance and don't stop moving
