"The trouble with wanting something is the fear of losing it, or never getting it. But it's like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off." Your only chance is to turn around and face it. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. You'll get mad at everyone for reminding you about it, even if it's all in your head." You'll hear broken echoes of it everywhere, like a bad replay. "Your past has a way of sneaking up on you. "When entertainment turns into a surreal reflection of your life, you're a lucky man if you can laugh at the joke. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, your image keeps shifting. "The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions." If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you. When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask 'Why me?' and 'What if?'. You basically can't get more intimate with interactive medium than this unless you're literally Max Payne himself."The genius of the hole: No matter how much time you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant." It felt like puberty hit me with time-delay because I never had this stage in my life.

I was like fish out of the water, lost my sense of humor, got vulgar, and edgy as fuck. When I realized it, I lost my "charm" too, just like people claim Max did in third part.
#MAX PAYNE 2 VINNIE STUCK FREE#
I stopped the small talk about my impact on the world, and questioned existence of humanity and free will itself.Įverything played out like in this masterful piece of fiction. I found a job, turned my inner doubts into wet puddle.Īnd guess what happened? After I bid farewell to my own little Mona Sax, in few years I was worse than ever. I was once again dragged into crap that I thought was behind me.

What am I really trying to achieve? Will I succeed? What is my end goal of life? Episodes of cynicism and existentialism came to me.

I ripped flaws that slowed me down since the day I learned to talk straight out of my gut.įew years passed, and while I wasn't back at the square one, I was much worse. I persisted, hit the gym and made many friends. First Max Payne of my life (I played MP1 while I was 5, didn't understand a word of dialogue, never left Roscoe Street) if you will. There was shit going on in my life few years ago, I hit my low. It's not like the other two, it has many flaws, takes itself way too seriously. Yes, it didn't come from either Sam Lake or Remedy. Late for the party, but let me tell you it's the third.
#MAX PAYNE 2 VINNIE STUCK MOVIE#
But one last thing I've read on steam that 3 is like a bad movie with all those cutscenes and script events and I thought yeah it's more like a movie, but definitely not a bad one imo. Same with the grinds I know that they're not more than stupid 'to-do's' but I love them and when the first two games had those things they would be a bit better than they already are, but still 2 has the best story 3 the best gameplay and the first has some weird kind of charm with those facial animations (if you can call em animations xD) and sam lake being max payne just great. much replay value havin those and I miss them in the first two titles, because in the last few days I've been playin the shit out of max payne three collecting all the golden weapons and clues while playing it on a different difficult each playthrough (from hard to hardcore to oldschool) it's soo much rewarding with achievements than without. I think personally that there all great games story wise, gameplay wise, but what keeps me going were the achievements of the third one idk it has some. So I played all 3 of them and must say it's hard imo.
