Fun Fact about Alfred Wooden in old German mythology Wooden was their variant of Odin so it's fitting he was the one eyed leader of these Norse named organisations.
I remember Max Payne 2 fondly as I played it in the early 2000s as a child. I didn't know a single word of English back then, so this was a fun trip down memory lane and I finally understand some of the otherwise bizzare storyline. Thanks!
One thing I always liked about these games is for the most part all the characters looked like normal people. Like, no one is particularly ‘sexy’ in max Payne 1 & 2 and it makes it feel more grounded and realistic (all things considered)
Recently discovered you because I needed an explanation for the outlast trials and could not have found a more proper introduction to you. Love your retro vault and lore & order videos! ❤
This game (much l;Ike the first) set the benchmark for how games are made today. Something as simple as the ‘rag doll’ effect was amazing to see developed.
Hey man, just wanted to say you’ve been one of my favorite creators lately! Love putting on your videos while I build and paint my warhammer 40K collection
I love the Retro Vault. From the intro to the vibes, it's such a nice installment. Another great video, thanks a lot! Not sure if you take requests, but would you consider covering the F.E.A.R. games? I can't find any proper explanations of the story and lore, just gameplay reviews, although it was immensely popular at its time.
Idk if you can tell based on my profile picture, but Max Payne 1 is literally my all time favorite game. The best storytelling I’ve heard tbh. But, MP2 was a great sequel. I really underestimated how good it would be when I first was able to play it
I have been waiting for this one since the first max payne video and this was a banger as well.... love your work and looking forward to another great video!
As Max Payne 3 was trash for me and the last time I´ve finished Max Payne 2 was on the the hardest difficulty, thus keeping Mona alive, this my way of "happily ever after"
I cannot hear the name Puncinello without thinking of Punch from those horrifying Punch and Judy puppets. I don't know why, but they have been used in two different horror novels (sort of) that I've read and I am fucked up about those stupid puppets now
Speaking of old games, have you ever played battlezone? It was such a big part of my chieldhood, and i was shocked to know verry fell people knew of it, the plot of a russian and american space war post cold war excavations was so entertaining
i'm watching these videos bc i've never player any max panyne games but want to know the lore before playing 3. these vids were exactly what i needed!! and then you had to throw in the spoiler..WHY!?!?!!?
I still strongly this game could be translated into a movie or tv series. The tv series would give more scope to unpack more narrative. The underground subways, atmospheric music, the mafia, Russians, inner circle and many other important things were utterly failed and destroyed by the movie. It would need John Wick (exaggerated but artistic) take on it to best render one of the best noir stories and noir games ever made or will be made.
Can I offer a piece of constructive criticism? I think the comic style panels hold a lot of critical information, I try to read them as you’re speaking but you cut off and switch away too quickly. I think I read fairly quickly but not any faster than average, so I think if you could hold the frame for 1-3 seconds longer it would be really helpful in this, and it wouldn’t be so long that it would mess up your flow too much hopefully? Maybe it’s worth experimenting on to figure out a more appropriate duration of time to show those panels. Other than that these are great and keep up the work!

I have been waiting patiently for this since the Max Payne video.
I played max payne 2 on my pc for hundreds of hours. It really felt like it upped the chaos from the first by fully embrace tons of physics
Max Payne 2&3 are the greatest 3rd person shooters of all time imo.
one of the best video games of all time
so real
Absolutely
Winterson's gaslight speedrun on Max is my favorite part of the story
Words could not articulate my excitement every time you upload
same here
Love the Max Payne series. I remember fondly playing these as a teen. Can't wait for the remakes!

Your videos help me sleep, and I mean that in the nicest way possible 👍

I’m just saying max payne 3 has a crazy story if it wasn’t apart if the max Payne series.
Max Payne 3 is the best 3rd person shooter of all time gameplay wise.

My father played this game, my older brother and, when older, i did too. We loved it unconditionally.

Max Payne 2 was indeed short but VERY sweet.
Never played any of these games but damn this series is interesting. Keep up the good work
I have been waiting for this one since the first max payne video and this was a banger as well.... love your work and looking forward to another great video!
Thanks for the video!
I love watching the shadows on the wheels of the cars spin when they move.
Great video, as always. I actually enjoyed all the Max Payne games.
Loved these games for 20 years and only today did I notice the sisters names are Mona Lisa LOL
recently finished playing max payne 3 and it was PEAK.
once again, this is another banger video.
Max Payne 3 on PC is the peak of 3rd person shooters genre.
Will you make Videos about the Far Cry Games?
Love these Retro Vault and your Lore & Order Series
My canon is that Mona survived the events of Max Payne 2 and 3 is just a dream he had once.
Awesome. Torille 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
This series is awesome and I can’t wait for the retro vault episode of Max Payne 3
Max is pure chad to survive point blank- .50 AE a o the head
Gaming Harry rules
The music just reminds me of story recapped
Only Max Payne 3 to go ! 😃
extremely underrated
Ps2 and ps3 old. That hit hard lol
Loved this game
Love this game
Would love to hear your take on Fear and Hunger
I fucking love this game.
I've played them both and they were a fun time.
You snooze you loose
I never finished Max Payne 1. I could not beat the blood trail nightmare as I kept falling into the abyss. But I played MP 2 to the end.
As Max Payne 3 was trash for me and the last time I´ve finished Max Payne 2 was on the the hardest difficulty, thus keeping Mona alive, this my way of "happily ever after"
Probably my favourite game ever
10 years
10years and I'm just realizing the genius behind naming the Sachs twins Mona and Lisa😢
Btw its been 10 years since I first played Max Payne 1
For your next video can you please take a look at Layers of Fear (2023) I feel like you’d love it and that it’d make a great video
I cannot hear the name Puncinello without thinking of Punch from those horrifying Punch and Judy puppets. I don't know why, but they have been used in two different horror novels (sort of) that I've read and I am fucked up about those stupid puppets now
2:41 ijbol not you shooting nicole horne's poster lmao
Sheesh, people complain about the courier from Fallout but these guys take headshots like mosquito bites.
Bro you have Sir Daniel Fortesque in the thumbnail, if you play and upload medieval I will forever love you🤣
fine, I'll replay max payne
Speaking of old games, have you ever played battlezone? It was such a big part of my chieldhood, and i was shocked to know verry fell people knew of it, the plot of a russian and american space war post cold war excavations was so entertaining
How many bullets to the dome can a man take in a lifetime 🤣
Please do medievil and medievil 2 for the retro vault already. The wait is driving me crazy.
Do silent hill next please
yesss
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeatest of all my friends
Best game ever made only reason why I bought a PlayStation
first
We want max payne 2 remake
i'm watching these videos bc i've never player any max panyne games but want to know the lore before playing 3. these vids were exactly what i needed!! and then you had to throw in the spoiler..WHY!?!?!!?
What spoiler? That Mona is dead? Hardly a spoiler.
Can you tell me the name and/or where to find the song in the intro please?

Wow, I think the Story is very confusing. I never got it completely while playing and I do not know if I got it now. 😅
Pls do the third too
Max Payne 3 next?
So are you gonna do a Max Payne 3 breakdown?
Can I offer a piece of constructive criticism?

Other than that these are great and keep up the work!
Thanks for the advice. It’s not something I’ll change on my videos. But you could press pause in order to read them
you can literally pause the video yourself lol.
Please create a video on Max Payne 3 also
Max Payne 3 plz!
mechassault for the original xbox next please
The shower scene was not made for widescreen lol
Can you explain some old games like man hunt or silent hill
How did 2 people survive getting shot in the head
Brother do boom series plz
am i missing something or pc version of this game looks way better? the facial animation is off here
Tbh 3 was my favorite
If we are doing retro games I dare you to play godhand…
Retro?!?! 😭
Max Payne 3 isn't part of the Remedy universe and not part of the original cannon.
This is the most noir game ever.
My favorite game of all times!! There's no other game like this💯👌❤️
