Imagine how his conversation with his mom went
"MOOOOOOOOM CAN YOU BE THE EVIL LADY I NEED TO KILL THE BOSS SAYS YOU HAVE TOOOOOO"

Max Payne 1's opening is just SO chilling....
As a Kid it terrified me.

"Nothing is cliche when it is happening to you"

I've kept some of the quotes from this game with me my whole life.

There is actually a dedicated command to enable bullet time without standing still, but it has no assigned key originally. See for yourself.

If they ever decided to make a Max Payne graphic novel series, they would have all of my money.

What makes Max Payne and Max Payne 2 so great is that Sam Lake truely understands Film Noir. While most of the more superficial elements of that genre are present (the "hard boiled" detective, the twists and turns in the plot, the varied and colorful villains, the damsel in distress/"femme fatale") - it's turning the setting, the ever-beset-by-blizzards "Noir York City", into a main character of sorts that truely makes Max Payne and Max Payne 2 masterpieces !

I don't know about y'all, but as much as I love this game, when I was a kid, it scared the shit outta me. The tweakers in the bathroom stall, laying on the floor, talking to themselves. So high that they don't even notice people around them "I... I think I died"

"The flesh!"

This game was so ahead of it's time.

I was 13 years old, it was 1am on a cool summer night, and I had been shooting with Max for hours while the rest of my family was asleep. I was alone. The final mission gave me chills as the thumping music propelled me forward. The harmonizing vocals echoed endlessly through the sound of gunfire. Even though I had to keep the volume low on my TV to prevent waking up the rest of the house, I felt every step, every bullet, every moment. That is why I love this game.

Max survives the dose of V because he has been taking prescription drugs the entire game. You feed them to him each time his health is low. Max is, most definitely, a drug addict. Just not the drug addict the fan theory implies. That is what leads to him having a higher tolerance for other drugs, such a V. If they both work on the same part of the bring, I.E. opiod receptors.

Great video... But how could you go 28 minutes without mentioning Max Payne's incredible music?! That shit is iconic.

They've just announced that Max Payne 1 and 2 are getting a Remake by Remedy, I think it's great news.

This and F.E.A.R 1 are the best bullet-time games I've played. They share a lot of similar elements.

Max Payne is my childhood.
I cannot explain in words how much I love him.

His painkiller addiction could have been the reason he survived the overdose. And the OG Max is the best Max.

Quick trick, you mentionned bullet time and Shootdodge being assigned at the same button. You can assigne two different commands in the menu for each action, it's just not by default like Max Payne 2.
Trust me, it will make the whole gameplay easier and cooler ;)
