Considering Max Payne spent two games and a half from this point mourning and avenging his dead wife, he is a saint for not snapping right at that moment
well, it kind of worked, but at the same time it was stupid as well because cutscenes were sometimes way to long and got you out of the loop and loading time for some reason was pretty long as well, so you couldn´t always skip cutscenes
I like this scene. Max Payne's reflexes are canonically fast, almost to a superhuman extent. He could have wasted all three of those pricks as soon as Tony reached for his gun, but he didn't. I like this because: 1. Max was considering just letting Tony blow his brains out to put him out of his misery 2. Max is so horrendously overexposed to conflict, danger and violence that some guy waving a gun in his face isn't enough to elicit a response from him. But pistol-whipping a woman in the face? Yeah, that'll do it
Max is one of those stupid people that is smart but trouble keeps following him around he doesn't know why he does things but he does them anyway have you seen the movie last man standing? the character is nearly the same
@@ManLikeEddyI don't really think Max is stupid. He's just a depressed tortured soul who wants to die but he isn't a coward who would kill himself so he puts himself in these dangerous situations but instincts tell him to fight instead of giving up.
Either that or "If you sincerely think I care whether I die or not anymore after everything I've lost, the DeMarco family is fucked when your old man clocks out with a dipshit like you at the wheel."
4:56 I'm not a violent person, but shooting that douchebag was one of the most satisfying kills in video game history. It wouldn't have worked without Max Payne 1 and 2 before it. Mark of great writing.
A legend gone too soon, he left one of the most amazing legacies ever though, and one of the best acting performances of all time. He will be surely missed

First of all it’s a video game. Count up all the people you kill, especially in crazy ways, it’s just fun and filler for the story/gameplay. I love this game and I love how Max Payne’s character is written but of course Max’s being able to shoot straight drunk off his ass, painkillers as health regeneration, bullet time, Max being able to hold is own against 100’s of goons (especially the paramilitary enemies) none of it really adds up if you look at it too closely. But like Max says “I never liked to look at things”
@@Reacher_2215Max Payne was around way before Wick was, and he's way cooler. Hate how people always have to compare badass characters to John Wick because so many braindead people love those movies.
@@PeacefulJoint story is standard-gta formula which is including alcohol,clubs,prostitutes,saying fuck lots of times,foreign criminal gangsters and mob bosses. It would have been amazing if Sam Lake was involved I trust him he did an incredible job in the first two games
Dan Houser did the story and all the dialogues of this game and most of all rockstar games. And now he isn't working with rockstar games anymore. So there will be no more games with that writing quality
@I lmao what ? red dead redemption's 1&2 story are made by dan houser as well And gta 4 too and he was the creator of the character michael desanta in gta 5.
He only wrote some dialogue most of which were outside main story. Rupert Humphries and Unsworth wrote most of RDR2 and they're still there, so is Sam Houser and Rob Nelson. If anything, rockstar still have a lot of talent and im sure GTA VI will be good. Story may not be as good as red dead series but it'll be solid
there’s something about the line “fuck you asshole, no dick asshole” and the way it comes from a character who hadn’t said a word in this cutscene up until that point that just kills me every time
She was a real one. Doesn't even flinch when the bullets start flying, she just tells the monsters she hopes they all die while she takes cover behind the bar.
Can’t believe this game came out 11 years ago man I remember first getting this game on the 360 and my mind being blown by how amazing the graphics were. Glad to see it still holds up all these years. Truly one Rockstar’s masterpieces
I love how this game is one big love letter to Tony Scott’s Man on Fire. The crazy editing/filters, the key words and sentences being subtitled and the alcoholic bodyguard gone rogue with nothing to lose in a foreign land. Perfection.
Funny enough that wasn’t even the breaking point. It was him hitting the girl in the bar. Max Payne is such an amazing well written deep character I love it
@@s3dchrIt’s almost a decade old. Rockstar will probably release a remaster after the remasters double pack of the first two games is released by Remedy in a year or two. Probably will make more money this time around, this game flopped HARD by Rockstar standards. Hope the second time more players will finally play this masterpiece.
I think it was more like an "I've fucked up" expression, because he clearly understands that after what he has just done, there will be a ton of shit coming in his way. "No shits given" - yeah, a bit since Max doesn't care what will happen to him in New Jersey chapters, he even mentions committing suicide when inspecting his room because he has nothing to gain or lose.
To be honest, he HAS been drinking for hours up to that point. Might've loosen some screws and made it easier to do. I doubt sober Max would've done that. Not judging him though.
I don't care what anyone and I mean ANYONE says about this game. See this side of Max and helping him grow to be a better person was the perfect way to End this game. The fact that he found his peace and how he had to get there was what makes this game a classic to play all the time. I always feel like it's a far more mature, raw conclusion to the trilogy. And I love every single second of it!!!!!
I've been abstained from alcohol for like 181 days or so, my mind & body are in the best condition they've ever been in my entire life, :3 ..butt, Max' entire monologue especially the "3 hours/5 years" part STILL resonates with me :( lol RIP James
Man... These were the days man. Games Will never be the same now that the board has left. But we still have the golden oldies like this one. The protagonists are Just so cool in these games.
I believe it stems for a standard in the industry to make your character bigger the the world they inhabit, while in modern day games stories Main characters are made to be more relatable and normal which always usually leads to a dull story.
I really love the acting of this scene. It legit feels like geniune tension. I've seen arguments like this. The level of escalation, the pride in Max's eyes while he stares the kid down. All perfect. I will say, while I do really like the rest of Max Payne 3, this segment could have easily been the full game. A washed up Max Payne on the run trying to survive the night with a contract on his head. Mobsters, hitman, even crooked cops all trying to collect. Have some comedic elements with even civilains trying to cash in. And with Max no longer having the protection of a badge or Bravura, he's even more vulnerable. That could have been Max Payne 3. Anthony Demarco seemed like he had real potential as a villain. They could have even still incorporated Passos. Just have the ending be him recruting Max and giving him a new job and purpose.
Let this be lesson to you.....Don't hit women in front of Ex cops who witnessed their wife and kid brutally murdered, chances are the women will get right back up while you'll be dead.
0:25 "I tried not to think about when it was that existence became less about the things that make up people's live, and more about the holes those things leave behind". At 19, I didn't really understand that line. now at 30, with everything I've lost... I'm starting to understand it now...

“I ain’t taking nothing away from him that God hasn’t already deprived him of.” Tbf, I didn’t expect a hard hitting line from some deadbeat Jersey gangster wannabe.
3:58 is example of something weird. Max Payne head with word "drink" is cropped from upper screen. On PC in real time cutscenes those "comics" screens are messed up a little bit. Just check up the same cutscenes from console versions. Anybody know the solution to this problem?
What's really funny to me is at this point in the story Max's activities during the first two games are pretty much public info, he's been in the news and been referred to as "Psycho Cop", and of all the people in the world a crime family member would be aware that he's killed dozens, if not literally hundreds, of mobsters and trained hitmen. If reputation is a thing in Max Payne's world he'd be the equivalent of John Wick to any crime boss. And yet Tony and his gang still decides to pick a fight with probably the deadliest drunk in Hoboken known for having an itchy trigger finger. You'd think at the very least his dad would've told his only kid not to fuck with this sheer force of nature.
Those DeMarco men are troublemakers and ended up costing Max to leave Hoboken, NJ to go to San Paulo, Brazil. I bet there should be Max Payne 4 either go to Argentina to find Raoul Passos or back to NYC for Max only for himself to be a Private Security in NYC.
Considering how Max good at demolishing faces of thugs hearing him being afraid for his life after killing DeMarko's son makes you feel that either DeMarko *really* is the guy to be afraid of or times have finally caught up to Max
I never understood why the DeMarco crime family didn’t thank or reward Max for the fact that he single-handedly dealt with their main rival - the Punchinello family. In the second and third parts the Punchinellos simply continued their miserable existence after the DeMarcos rose. Perhaps this is a big omission in the plot. Although this doesn’t correspond to Max's moral values, he could’ve become some sort of Al Neri if Anthony DeMarco took notice of him.
You know the whole New Jersey level makes me think, this is how whole game should have been made. I still hope that if they will make Max Payne or Max Payne remake it would look like this level. It’s just looks like first Max Payne, running on the rooftops again, dirty streets of New Jersey man….
The first Max Payne takes place predominantly in the Bronx in New York City. The first mission Roscoe Street takes place on the 5 train line in the Bronx. (I lived there)
Max Payne 3 was originally supposed to be set in Russia instead of Brazil, so it could've been also a snowy dark setting, it was sadly scrapped and they opted for Brazil, which definitelly took away a lot in the atmosphere but it is what it is.
@@TheJok3rMan going for brazil was ultimately the better choice imo, there'd already been 2 games set in a bleak gray snowy city - a third would've just been too much
Was watching a walk-through of the game when it first came out. Got to this mission and I immediately stopped the video because i decided I needed to to go out and actually buy the game. Glad I did, one of the best pure third person shooters out there imo.

4:52 I love Max tugging at her elbow, like "C'mon lady, let's not escalate this.."
Marty.
*Marty he ain't fuckin kiddin'.*
Sad we ain't see more games like max payne nowadays 😅
Play El Paso, Or Stranglehold, their like time shooter games like Max Payne.
1:41 ooh that kid is crossing the line
“I ain’t taking nothing away from him that God hasn’t already deprived him of.”
Tbf, I didn’t expect a hard hitting line from some deadbeat Jersey gangster wannabe.
3:58 is example of something weird. Max Payne head with word "drink" is cropped from upper screen. On PC in real time cutscenes those "comics" screens are messed up a little bit. Just check up the same cutscenes from console versions. Anybody know the solution to this problem?
What's really funny to me is at this point in the story Max's activities during the first two games are pretty much public info, he's been in the news and been referred to as "Psycho Cop", and of all the people in the world a crime family member would be aware that he's killed dozens, if not literally hundreds, of mobsters and trained hitmen. If reputation is a thing in Max Payne's world he'd be the equivalent of John Wick to any crime boss. And yet Tony and his gang still decides to pick a fight with probably the deadliest drunk in Hoboken known for having an itchy trigger finger. You'd think at the very least his dad would've told his only kid not to fuck with this sheer force of nature.
Thank you for all the childhood memories James McCaffrey aka Max Payne. (A bit closer to heaven)
Those DeMarco men are troublemakers and ended up costing Max to leave Hoboken, NJ to go to San Paulo, Brazil. I bet there should be Max Payne 4 either go to Argentina to find Raoul Passos or back to NYC for Max only for himself to be a Private Security in NYC.
Considering how Max good at demolishing faces of thugs hearing him being afraid for his life after killing DeMarko's son makes you feel that either DeMarko *really* is the guy to be afraid of or times have finally caught up to Max
4:41 how my mom used to talk to the ex bf who treated her like shit! Lol
oh
Max Payne is the best video game character ever (with Leon S Kennedy as a close second)
If only GTA V had a story and custscenes like this
0:42 Jersey Shore in da house.
Some major Pauly D vibes
I never understood why the DeMarco crime family didn’t thank or reward Max for the fact that he single-handedly dealt with their main rival - the Punchinello family. In the second and third parts the Punchinellos simply continued their miserable existence after the DeMarcos rose. Perhaps this is a big omission in the plot.
Although this doesn’t correspond to Max's moral values, he could’ve become some sort of Al Neri if Anthony DeMarco took notice of him.
4:30 badass moment what i come from
Payne is a gentleman
@android3220nah max just don’t give a fuck about dying
He sounds like Micheal from gta 5 at 0:03
@Willem DaFuckedUp Seems you're the one who needs their hearing checked with those 16 people who disagree.
@Willem DaFuckedUp okay you win that one, my friend.
@Willem DaFuckedUp he reminded me of Michael as well but he only sounds like Michael in that dialogue.
@@itssonotover961 cause michael is based of from max payne
@@muhibaqeel5380 he is kind of based off but not because of that reason
Writing is fucking gold
“Don’t you look at me, now look at me and say you’re sorry!”
🤣🤣🤣
what's the second song that plays, I know the first is Bright Lights by Gary Clark Jr.
yes ! I have been wondering that too?
+warren byrne Wild in the streets by Garland Jeffreys
SebAnders oh thank you my friend ! it was really starting to annoy me thanks.
I still remember the "looking at things" line. It made the game for me.
You know the whole New Jersey level makes me think, this is how whole game should have been made. I still hope that if they will make Max Payne or Max Payne remake it would look like this level. It’s just looks like first Max Payne, running on the rooftops again, dirty streets of New Jersey man….
The first Max Payne takes place predominantly in the Bronx in New York City. The first mission Roscoe Street takes place on the 5 train line in the Bronx. (I lived there)
@@TheJoey1s it may be different place, but I feel the same atmosphere
Max Payne 3 was originally supposed to be set in Russia instead of Brazil, so it could've been also a snowy dark setting, it was sadly scrapped and they opted for Brazil, which definitelly took away a lot in the atmosphere but it is what it is.
If you want the first Max Payne feeling just play MP1. New devs, they had to try something different with Max and they did it perfectly.
@@TheJok3rMan going for brazil was ultimately the better choice imo, there'd already been 2 games set in a bleak gray snowy city - a third would've just been too much
4:58 i love max
No build up, no talk, no nothing, just immediately boom!
Tony reminds me of Jackie Jr. Don't you dare disrespect his fawtha.
Honestly, they should have had Max say 'victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan'
He insulted Max’s wife outta respect of his fawtha
He's literally me for real. Just except I'm not a former cop and don't have a gun
Real (I'm just a depressed alcoholic who couldn't get into the police force).
Was watching a walk-through of the game when it first came out. Got to this mission and I immediately stopped the video because i decided I needed to to go out and actually buy the game. Glad I did, one of the best pure third person shooters out there imo.
Just an average day in Jersey
