the amount of pure AURA this man has while jumping down a staircase in slowmo and gunning down a squad of gangsters in a split second with akimbo pistols all while listening to this absolute BANGER of a soundtrack, makes me wanna become addicted to painkillers too.

Nov. 2024

The game holds up way better in 2024 than you could ever expect. The graphics are still great. They don't look like it on the reviews as much, but you gotta play to notice the difference. IT IS A MUST PLAY GAME. I NEEDED TO SAY THAT!

July 2024

Just finished the story mode on hard. As a Brazillian, born and raised in the state of São Paulo, I can say that the team responsible for getting the info about the favelas, criminality, corruption and stuff based themselves primarilly on the 2007 movie "Elite Squad", which shows a little bit how things work in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, with lots of gang wars, the infamous "microwave" scene, kidnappings, the police incursions with bulletproof vehicles and stuff. In São Paulo, the organized crime is not as brutal as in RJ, of course we still have al lot of the things depicted in the game, but it's not as common. Also, if someone walks into a crime-taken favela as dangerous as they made Nova Esperança look like, that would be just a death sentence. Max would be dead before he could think of what he did wrong. Also, I've noticed quite a few lines that either were spoken with the wrong accent (in SP there is mostly an accent of our own, or the northeastern one, and in the game it's possible to note both the RJ accent and also a little bit of Portugal natives too), or just wouldn't be spoken by any brazilian at all. It's the kind of thing that was not written in portuguese, and the translation job was good, but not perfect. On the other hand, there are some lines that just someone from SP would say, and those lines really shine throughout the game. It's amazing to play a game developed in a foreign country, by a foreign team, where you can hear someone cursing just like your neighbors do on a daily basis. Misconceptions aside, it IS a really good game, with an interesting story, most people who play it can't understand shit in portuguese and/or have never been in Brazil so those things I just pointed will make no difference at all, and even for someone like me, those mistakes are just something that adds some sort of funny touches to the game. Putting it in short words, excellent game, but looks more like Rio de Janeiro than São Paulo.

Max Payne 3 is the greatest 3rd person shooter of all time, the combat and gunplay are unmatched to this day. Wish we would get Max Payne 4.

April 2024

RIP James McCaffrey for giving us the most grittiest, emotional, and well-spoken voice acting through all 3 games. Makes you feel like you are watching a movie and then being thrust into the action and playing as the most badass and heartbroken cop/ex-cop. Hands down my favorite trilogy in gaming. Don't forget, this legend also voiced Alan Wake, Edward in Alone in the Dark 2008, and had a role in Control as well, so check those out.
