Cool fact about the pianos, each time you play one he plays the theme better until the final one in which he plays the game's theme without messing up, very cool detail
One of my most played favorites of all time. RIP James McCaffrey, MP3 wouldn’t be so iconic without his voice and the amazing motion capture performance that added so much heavy weight to the movements of an older Max. Such a great time that still holds up today. My only gripe-everyone has it - no unstoppable cutscenes, but at least there’s New York minute
This is one of a small handful of games that get replayed often and are immune to time. Every time i play it I get inspired to learn the theme tune on piano/keyboard.
I like how Rockstar implements ideas created in one game to other titles. From Max Payne 3, the bullet time ability was directly ported over for Micheal's ability in GTA5. In RDR2, they added cinematic killcams originally implemented in Max Payne 3, and from the gameplay footage you showed, I also sense that the trolley mission in RDR2 was heavily inspired by a mission from Max Payne 3. Inspecting notes up-close with the ability to flip sides in RDR2 is something taken from LA Noire. Hence, it's exciting to see the culmination of different game mechanics across different Rockstar titles that will be present in GTA6.
God this series really deserves some kind of remaster at least on a graphical sense because honestly you can't really catch the same lightning twice with this. Always funny whenever you were able to dive back onto a pool deck chair on the yacht that's a great incredible difficulty to get there to begin with along with simply getting Max into his own bed
I'm looking forward to you doing Max Payne 1 and 2! I think a lot of the things you picked as random or not ground breaking are a base part of Max Payne going back to 1, so it puts some of that in a broader context. Like how Max Payne 1 was the second game (and 1st hit game) to implement bullet time.
Delighted to see a video on this, Fizhy. I played through Max Payne 3 only once but it really stuck with me as an all-time favourite, for its style, gameplay and James McCaffrey's immense performance. Hope you cover the first two games as well - more needs to be said on how Bullet Time set the stage for the likes of Dead Eye in the years that followed.
Im the same way i never played the originals and just played the 3rd one for the first time 12 years after its release, it was one of the best games ive ever played
Max Payne 3 is one of my favourite games of all time! I was so sad when I found out James McCaffery passed away, and it still don't seem real 😢 He will forever live on as the one of the greatest Video Game characters ever!
My day was ruined when James McCaffrey died, such an iconic voice. It's sad that we won't hear him again. I think that his voice alone made those games iconic. I wonder if he managed to record all his lines to the upcoming remake. You definitely should play MP and MP2, they still look incredibly well for the time they came out. I played them for the first time in 2018 as I was too young to play when they were released but still it didn't make me feel they are very dated or hard to play. The graphics are still nice, the gameplay is fun as hell and Max's face in the first game is just legendary 😅
I still play this game along with K&L Dog Days, The Punisher, Resistance, Killzone, Infamous and a few other "none like it" choices of past generations.
I just bought a ps3 for my 28th birthday last weekend and I got this game (along with a few other bangers) and I’m so excited to play it again. Haven’t played this game in a decade. Can’t believe how great it still looks! But it is a rockstar game so that doesn’t surprise me
Max Payne 1 through 3 are incredible works of art. 3 is still the pinnacle of third-person shooter mechanics, animations, and ragdoll physics in my opinion. Rest in peace, James McCaffrey. He lives on forever as Max Payne and as a good man.
I love MP3 but i never liked how they changed the weapon limit. I get they wanted it to be more realistic but I loved walking around with an armory in my coat in the first 2 games. Gave you more combat options for different scenarios.
Life-changing game for me, I expected all games to have the same great shooting mechanics and I've been disappointed, nothing better than Max Payne 3 on PC with bullet time and shoot/dodge
Yeah! I cant wait for the next "x game: x years later..." type of video as it reminds everyone that Time is a jerk and we will all die and be forgotten anyway along with our games. 🎉🎉
I recently went back and played this game and idk what it is but for some reason i can see why this was a huge development nightmare for Rockstar. Their goal of taking the Triple AAA quality theyre Reknown for when it comes to their Open World Titles and streamlining it into a Third Person Shooter is seen with the Destruction in the Branco Headquarters Shootout. The attention to Detail when it comes to the Glass shattering/Cover being Destroyed and walls being Destroyed is pretty damn good. For someone reason though i feel like they shot their Wad in that moment and failed to recapture the magic after that. If i could make a Wish for GTA 6,it would be to have the Shoot Dodge Mechanics from Max Payne 3 return in the Single player mode
I feel like, when it comes to video game graphics, with each passing generation, the best of the best age slower and slower. With the only exception being the 5th generation which was a bit of a reset due to the jump to 3D. The best-looking games from the PS3 era look a lot better nowadays than PS1 games did during said PS3 generation. E.g. Metal Gear Solid 1 was 11 years old when Uncharted 2 came out but Uncharted 2 holds up far better graphically today, 15 years later, than MGS1 did in 2009.
I know this really isn’t the video for it but on red dead redemption 2 on the last mission some of the bodies you shoot look like characters in the game if that makes sense? I saw someone that looked exactly like Dutch Micah and someone that even looked like an older Jack Marston, maybe consider checking it out, there isn’t a lot there but maybe it’s some strange cult they had in there gang or something.
I played Max Payne (1) so much I got repetative strain injury on my wrist using bullet time. I got hooked on pain killers so the other two were a blurry god forsaken haze.
Yeeee max payne 3 is Allgood aye. I didn't manage to complete it but i really liked it for what i got to play. I liked shooting weapons out of people's hands
Higly suggest anyone who wants to play this game, play it on pc with mouse and keyboard it fits better with the run and gun gameplay. It also looks better. Very enjoyable on the highest difficulties too
The first two games are pretty dated, but good nonetheless. I'd watch you do a playthrough. Great job on the video, makes me want to replay them all. I'd love it if Rockstar would remaster the first two games, hopefully not like the GTA trilogy...
Bro, go play Max Payne 1&2. Now. And this game was definitely a life changing experience for me. All the Max Payne games changed my whole perspective on what a game should be.
Sadly this game is always covered by people who Max Payne means nothing to. For the OG gamers like myself playing Max Payne before you were even born, it is a very important title that deserves a more in-depth analysis. For my own analysis, I would say the game was definitely not what I was expecting it to be, the writing was noticeably not as good, but I would not say it was a disappointment. It felt like a worthy close out to the series and it set Max up to live a life of peace afterwards which I like to think concluded with the death of James McCaffrey and therefore any kind of meaningful Max Payne, as no one else could truly do the role justice.
Max Payne 3 has gameplay features that were meant to be an experiment for GTA 5 features. However, this has been shown to a higher extent in Red Dead Redemption 2. The weapon wheel and the targeting dot are the only things that truly match GTA V’s gameplay aesthetic. Thanks for this great video and keep it up!
best game ever.... iam gamer of the first days... istarted with sega master system ans mega drive... and in all these years toll now...il never played a game thats nearly soo catching... till today i play max payne again and again ,evertime i find new styles for headshots etc ..that i not see before or elsewhere...i love this storytelling mood. ok some cutscens to long but all elemts in mp3 are so nice put togehter...i cant await the remakes....and i pray for all maxpayne fans dont disapoint us! technicel changes in while of new engine is ok but dont change the storytelling . if iam back in heaven...i must find a way to have a game of mp3 there...😅🤣
Watched this because I 2as thinking of a playthrough after...12 years. Very funny, you had me at Richard Ache. Baldy beardy Max is the guy Andrew Tate wishes he projects
RIP James Mccaffrey. One of the most iconic voices in video games.
Cool fact about the pianos, each time you play one he plays the theme better until the final one in which he plays the game's theme without messing up, very cool detail
This game got me into the band HEALTH. loved this game and HEALTH is so damn good!
Premium Agony 3
Please try the multiplayer, its so fun and still people play it.
You're lying the servers are have been down since 2021 @@Tom-zw9jr
Minimum Ouchie 3
I just beat all 3 Max Payne games. They are pretty good.
Peak grief 3
I fucking love this game. It still holds up. Would love to see a remaster
They are currently remaking Max Payne 1 & 2!
Ye have yet to play Max Payne 1 and 2? Heresy!!!! One-thousand lashings for ye Fizhy. Stay golden fam.
I'll get round to it
One of my most played favorites of all time. RIP James McCaffrey, MP3 wouldn’t be so iconic without his voice and the amazing motion capture performance that added so much heavy weight to the movements of an older Max.
Such a great time that still holds up today. My only gripe-everyone has it - no unstoppable cutscenes, but at least there’s New York minute
"Richard Ache" is up there as an all time Fizhy joke 😂😂
Bide your time
Aka… Dick Ache

You did know that Max Payne 1 was the first game to include bullet time, right ?
And Remedy Entertainment was the studio behind max payne 1+2
Rockstars ragdolls and gunplay peaked in the 360 era
They heavily downgraded it in gta 5. They are a little better in RDR 2, but still nowhere near Max Paybe 3.
Max payne 3 is my most replayed game. It feels like putting on a good movie
Obviously Max is suffering from Lumbago.
At least once a year i get an itch to replay Max Payne 3. Needless to say i love this game so much.
Incredible video as always boss
Thank you kindly Mr Boi
I play this game every few years. Great game

Search it up. There working on max payne 1 and 2 remasteres most likely just graphical because James mcaffey is dead
This game looks like a archer episode
Still worth it. Just like the other 2 games.
It still looks great graphically. I wish the online was still up
I'm looking forward to you doing Max Payne 1 and 2!

Harmful Harold killed me mate, Ngl the name changing constantly was my favourite comedic bit 😂
Why doesn't this have more views? Eh, another banger Fizhy, nice to see Max Payne being brought up again after Mccaffrey's death
I just finished my first play through I was so hooked within the first couple seconds of playing
Delighted to see a video on this, Fizhy.

I'm playing it for the first time ever right now and it's brilliant !!
The music is amazing! It’s one of the reasons I keep replaying it.
This is one of those games that will hold up forever
Im the same way i never played the originals and just played the 3rd one for the first time 12 years after its release, it was one of the best games ive ever played
Just started playing this masterpiece on my Rog Ally and I must say it looks amazing for a 12 year old game
Love max Payne ! Waiting patiently on the remastered version of 1&2
Dude I just replayed this !! So good !
Max Payne 3 is one of my favourite games of all time! I was so sad when I found out James McCaffery passed away, and it still don't seem real 😢 He will forever live on as the one of the greatest Video Game characters ever!
Micheal from gta 5 is literally max payne
i definitely feel max payne 3 is the best 3rd person shooter ever made. Such an underrated game.
My day was ruined when James McCaffrey died, such an iconic voice. It's sad that we won't hear him again. I think that his voice alone made those games iconic.

MP3 was, and still is awesome. R* done the series proud!
I like to think Max Payne is Arthur Morgan’s great great great grandson. 😂
I still play this game along with K&L Dog Days, The Punisher, Resistance, Killzone, Infamous and a few other "none like it" choices of past generations.
If you upload max payne 1 and 2 content I'll definitely watch. Those are classic.
Max Payne 1 and 2, just do it! Made me childhood.
Yes sir
Keep up the bangers, man! Love ya content and style.
This is crazy I just beat the game a couple weeks ago it’s a beautiful game one of my favorites
Just started playing MP3 for 1st time and my gawd where was the critical acclaim cause the action is so cinematic
Cool video as always mate !
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided + Max Payne 3 = Same vibes, different generation
I am proud to say I have completed the achievement “The shadows rushed me”
I just bought a ps3 for my 28th birthday last weekend and I got this game (along with a few other bangers) and I’m so excited to play it again. Haven’t played this game in a decade. Can’t believe how great it still looks! But it is a rockstar game so that doesn’t surprise me
My all time favorite game. I play through it once every year.
One of the best TPS gamss of all time.
Crazy thing I’ve never played the first two max payne games either, but I gotta get to it
Loved the multiplayer. Smacking people in the face as the blindly run around a corner that your using as cover was so satisfying.
The only game by rockstar from that time that i didn’t get to play
Max Payne 1 through 3 are incredible works of art. 3 is still the pinnacle of third-person shooter mechanics, animations, and ragdoll physics in my opinion. Rest in peace, James McCaffrey. He lives on forever as Max Payne and as a good man.
😢
I love MP3 but i never liked how they changed the weapon limit. I get they wanted it to be more realistic but I loved walking around with an armory in my coat in the first 2 games. Gave you more combat options for different scenarios.
One of the best shooters ever
0:43 you have got the swag
Life-changing game for me, I expected all games to have the same great shooting mechanics and I've been disappointed, nothing better than Max Payne 3 on PC with bullet time and shoot/dodge
you can keep shooting in the slow mo final kill cam for extra points in the arcade mode!
Yeah! I cant wait for the next "x game: x years later..." type of video as it reminds everyone that Time is a jerk and we will all die and be forgotten anyway along with our games. 🎉🎉
Happy late Birthday 🥳 Fizhy.
You're 2 months early.
Doesn't that apply to literally everyone? 😭😭 lol
Max pyne 3 is available for ps5 or only for PC?
the only game where I don't feel guilty for wasting ammo on shooting one enemy, especially with the gore mod.
You should definitely try the first two games, great stories and gameplay
I recently went back and played this game and idk what it is but for some reason i can see why this was a huge development nightmare for Rockstar.

2012 is 12 years old.. god I feel like a fossil.
Max Payne 2 was an amazing game. Fighting through apartment buildings with dual pistols and a black suit was cool asf bahahaha
I love Max Payne 3
great video. yeah love this game. wish more people play it. hope the remakes are good. yeah great soundtrack too
Free aim on the hardest mode is fun but rage inducing
Rockstar's deadeye came waaay after max payne bullet time.
Story goes, the authorities are still after him…
I really want to replay this game
I've always loved max Payne I personally think max Payne 3 was the best and it gave closer to max's story
This was my first max payne game to but really enjoyed it great game
Yeeee max payne 3 is Allgood aye. I didn't manage to complete it but i really liked it for what i got to play. I liked shooting weapons out of people's hands
I’m fucking happy u did this. I replayed all 3 games recently and my god they are all amazing

Your a little harsh on a 2012 graphics shoot em up game and I think the graphics and gameplay and story looks good, a lil bit of GTA vibes too.
Low pleasure 3

Hopefully it can get ported over like they did rdr1
Max Payne, magicly got Lumbago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Terrence trauma 3 lmfao
a mate and I sat and listed about 30 different alternate names for Max Payne
@@Fizhy thoroughly enjoyed your review of Oscar Over-exertion 3
Can I play max Payne 3 on ps5?
Wearing loose socks to bed = best possible sleep quality 🔴🟢
For a second I thought it seid mad max
bro why u wearing socks to bed

I wish the PS5 would play PS3 games. I would replay this and the Splinter Cell HD Collection.
Really hurt three.
you have missed so much if you have not played MP1 or MP2 i still own collectors edition of max payne 1
you need to use mods to make those old games to work on modern pcs
I think you were fair but I'd like to see you play Max Pyne 1 & 2
I'll get round to it for sure
