Alternate ending?

[Bell end]

So I just finished this game on hard. Is it worth playing through again on a higher difficulty to get an alternate ending like in #2? Or do you just get the achievement?
I thought the current ending was quite uneventful.

There is only 1 ending.

It would be nice if they added another ending for the Hard Difficulty or highter:
After the final boss battle, Payne would kill Bronco instead out of vengence then the next scene would see him at the bar but the news story would be different, Bronco's dead and Max Payne would a professional killer for hire now & walks off into the sunset holding a pistol in a way to Die Hard.

Assassins are despicable. Max isn't an antihero. Your alternate ending wouldn't work.

Nothing. I've never been that big on the idea of alternate endings. One of the problems with alternate video game endings is that one of them usually contradicts the sequel. In Dishonored, it was the ending where the princess dies. In Metal Gear Solid, it was the ending where Meryl dies.

So if Bronco dies then there's no Max Payne 4? I played BioShock 1 and got the Best Ending Twice. Once in Normal Play & the second on Plus Mode.

I wasn't speaking about your ending. You asked about MY idea for an alternate ending, so I gave one of the reasons I don't care for alternate endings. YOUR ending wouldn't work because it's not in character for Max. I'd rather just have the best ending the devs can think of than a bunch of weaker ones that aren't true.

Such as what? Sometimes, games have an alternate ending depending on how gamers approach things in games.

MP3 is a linear action game, not an adventure game with choices or an RPG. How you approach things in the game doesn't matter.

MP3? what's that short for in game? BioShock had alternate endings depending on how you dealt with the little sisters. I chose to save them all.

BioShock is exploration-based and slower paced. It also has a morality system, which affects the ending. There is only one way to deal with enemies in Max Payne. The two have nothing in common, aside from being shooters.

Well Max Payne 2 had an alternate ending if you beat the game on the Hardest Setting.

So? Max Payne 3 doesn't need an alternate ending. It needs a sequel.

The alternate ending would be a good idea for Max Payne 3 but then again Max Payne was Rockstar's Game series but Max Payne started out as a Apogee game.
