So wat happens after the end LOL - How does the story continue?

[jeffy]

i wonder wat now, does he just drink till he over does it one day?

wat do you think?

[WonderFeng]

He will drink, drink and drink until he mutates into Max Payne 4 sometime next year probably

[jeffy]

ya right

[WonderFeng]

Dallas lähetti viestin:

ya right

Clearly he isnt just gonna die off after 3 games of being shot to hell and surviving

[jeffy]

its hard to see a max 4 but maybe they might do like a prequel or something after 1 or 2 maybe in between 3 possibly

[Gonzo]

He ends up in (Major Spoiler) Bahia, Mexico. So, maybe...? Drug cartels next? That might make some people mad though if he keeps getting further and further away from Hoboken. Because...you know...that Hoboken magic.

I don't know that they will make a 4. It's been pretty quiet on the Max Payne chatter lately. Plus Rockstar has so much intellectual property to draw from and their games are dense and labor-heavy.

That said, and I've said this many times, and I'm going to say it again. If more generation X'ers were gamers, Max Payne 3 would have been a massive hit. Playing that game really transported me back to graduating college, no Internet in existence, having tons of friends, AND Pulp Fiction was a big deal.

Me and my friends were either out chasing women, or kicking back on a couch watching Tarantino knock-offs like Way of the Gun, Love and a .45, Boondock Saints, Man Bites Dog, Killing Zoe...Ms. 45. Those were the days. Men were still men rather than gossipy metrosexual douchebags.

Anyway, Max Payne 3 really took me back to watching those visceral brains-blown-out-the-back-of-caps movies. Except, rather than watching them? We get to be in them! Except, my friends are raising kids or watching hockey. There would be a Max Payne 4 and 5 by now if more Gen Xers played video games because Max Payne 3 really felt like being in those movies my friends and I loved.

cool story bro

cool story bro

+1

I'm sold

[Cpt.Ziltoid]

Bahia, Mexico? Are you high? Bahia is in Brazil.

[Gonzo]

I thought the last scene said in text, "Bahia, Mexico" after the last fight, when he's just chillin'. Makes sense. He couldn't stick around Brazil after all that. That's how I remember it anyway.

[Gonzo]

I'm not saying Bahia is a real place in mexico. I just remember that's what the text said. You know? The "type-y" wordy, texty stuff.

[WonderFeng]

I wonder if it could be though, I doubt they would give up on the MP franchise now. I think there is definitely scope for another few stories in there. Maybe he falls in love again? Who knows.

The last scene at the bar, he picked up his bag (of weapons) and walked off into the sunset. So I presume he will find more trouble for himself.

[Gonzo]

I hope there is another one. I played thru it twice right away. I am done with it for a while to finish up Dark Soul et al, but do find the comments on the Internet and whether it sold well or not to be dizzying.

Lovers of an original series often dismiss sequels as "impure" or "untrue" but to impugn it's gameplay? I don't get that at all. Max Payne 3 was a tight-*ss 3rd-person run-and-gunner.

Some complained about how you can bullet-time jump into walls and get shut down. They called this clunky gameplay. To them I say, "Well, try not jumping into a wall. You're already overpowered with the whole bullet-time as it is? Do you need Max Payne phasing thru walls, too?"

I've never played the original two, so perhaps I don't have the proper pedigree to opine. But to me personally...? If Rockstar holds the IP that would be fine with me. I wouldn't even mind another bright sunny, shiney setting against drug cartels near that Mexican town where Max ended up going into Max Payne 4.

As Geko pointed out, he's already got his guns with him! Maybe they can take him back to the east coast in Max Payne 5 when he becomes the baddest 75 year-old out there! More Max Paynes, please!

wAAT you never played the first 2? dude getthem they are cool to play

I agree. The first 2 Max Payne games are epic!

[Boogie ツ]

He ends up in space, and when the space mobsters kill his best friend, his dog, Fido Payne, he seeks revenge on the entire space mobster outfit. "Max Payne 4: Payne In Outer Spaaaaaace!" When you do shoot dodges they are infinite.
