Today’s game is Max Payne. I’ve had this for a while and with how much Alan Wake II takes from Max Payne i thought it would be appropriate to at least visit it.

At first i tried playing with controller and struggled, but i found that once i switched to PC it became far more natural. The Bullet Time mechanic is satisfying to use, and the story scratches an itch which only L.A. Noire seemed to hit up until this point in time. On top of that i love the setting. I love big cities and especially during the winter. Not to mention i love the graphics retro graphics of it.

On top of that, I finally got 100% on Alan Wake 1 today! I went through and got all the collectibles and the misc achievements. It took going through almost the entire game again but by basically speedrunning it i did it.

    The Bullet Time is so satisfying. And I love Max as a character. I’m a sucker for Everyman characters (part of the reason Alan Wake is one of my favorites too). I would have killed to get to experience this game as a kid. It’s so much fun I’m disappointed that I never played it sooner lol

      Life. The things I wish I could’ve played as a kid. I wish I could get into stuff like One Piece as well, but these days it’s so hard to have enough time for just one episode a week, let alone binging 5 a day to finish the minimum 1000+ episodes.

        I feel ya. I tried one piece but only got like 12 episodes in. It’s so hard to find the time nowadays to get into new things

          The fact that the common argument in favour is “it gets better at the 100 episode point” like, bro… I have a life ffs.
