Today’s game is some more Max Payne 2. I was kind of dreading doing the Construction Site again, as last time it was a struggle. Surprisingly though it was a easy time. I guess my experience from my first play through carried over and made this a cake walk. I found this room full of explosives and a pile of chairs. I let myself have a little fun and detonated it and watched the chairs fly away. I took some damage from it but it was well worth it.
In the main lobby area i also platformed over to the other side of the broken bridge. I was hoping it’d be a shortcut. It wasn’t. But i did get a screenshot for bragging rights that i did something utterly meaningless. it only took a whole of 10 minutes. It was a cozy little area to hang out though.
The sniper section was a bit of a challenge with Mona because i started with a lot less weaponry than i was used too. Once i picked up a arsenal though from the enemies it became easier. With the level design though i get the feeling i should have been using the sniper more. I was paranoid though that i’d run out of ammo though so i didn’t use it for anything out of protecting Max.
When Chapter 3 started i decided that was a good stopping point for today. I remember going through Part 3 fast, so i want to stop and appreciate it this time. Plus i don’t really remember much except for the Escort Mission and the Mansion one.
In can still hear the voice of Jonathan Davis saying “Max Payne” in a Russian accent
Oh crap. Reminds me that for some reason or other (Mostly just time issues I guess, and because dualbooting Windows was pain I guess) I never completed Max Payne 2. As a giant fan of the first game I loved it.
Wonder if I need to go dig out the discs. Wait wait what, I already have MP1&2 on Steam? How? When did I get them? Never mind. Hope these aren’t a massive headache to get running
Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.
Brilliant game. Not sure if I preferred it over MP1 but damn did I enjoy it. Hope you did too, OP.
This is making me want to replay this game. I don’t really remember much about the story of this one, but I do remember than the slow motion mechanics were much better than those of the first game.
