Having recently replayed through the first one, I am pleasantly surprised on how well it holds up, especially with all the modern day fixes that went into it. The choice of using a graphic novel to tell the story, as opposed to clunk as shit early 00 3D was an inspired choice, and helped it retain a certain timelessness. A bit of a bitch to get running on modern systems though.
Max Payne 1 and 2 have aged like fine wine, Max Payne 3 will age like cheese(and arguably already has). I say this as someone who actually liked Max Payne 3 and played through it twice.
Finally, I loved the game back in the day. Gotta replay it and try out the first two at some point.
Max Payne 3's multiplayer servers were closed.
Still crashes during single player while the Brazil map doesn't.
The comic book approach was a bit of a surprise for me on my first playthrough, it added more of a visual charm to tell its story. I kinda wished we got a graphic novel of Max Payne, its a shame they didn't do one since that was one of the aspects people liked about the first two games.
I was very, very good at Max Payne 3's multiplayer. Like, people always used to accuse me of hacking. It was pretty typical for me to get 60+ kills in a match. I wasn't hacking or anything, I just had my character set up in a very, very broken way, lol. Military Goggles, Sutures, Quick Holster and Vampire Fangs. An M4 as a primary, and dual 1911s with compensators and extended mags as secondary. This perk combo was hilariously busted and basically allowed me to mow down three or four people at a time, regenerating health from each kill.
I sucked at it, but my favorite part was being able to run around in the classic Max Payne skin.
if you want spooky try the suffering.
After how they treated GTA, I rather see someone who's got a good background in game development to remaster the first two games rather than give it some dunderhead developer to botch it up.
