Today’s game is Max Payne. I continued my playthrough today with a friend who’s on call. I was just kind of peeking around with the camera when i noticed the writing on the wall behind Max (literally). I probably missed it my first playthrough because i was blind, but it’s kind of ironic that the writing was literally on the wall the entire game.
I also dicked around and tried to make it look like Max was playing Basketball. There’s not really much too this one, i just thought it was funny to try and make him look like he was playing.
I also wanted to talk about the difficulty fix. This life right here? On my first playthrough without the fix i spent an hour struggling here. With the fix it was the same difficulty as everything else though. I highly recommend the fix to anyone playing as it’s the result of a bug (and makes it far more tolerable).
Though i will say i wonder if it makes it too easy, like this fight here was supposed to be like a boss fight sort of. I ended up just hanging out up here for the most part and shooting at them with the Desert Eagle. Besides that though it’s really handy to have. I stopped at this fight for other reasons, but i want to sit down and finish chapter 1 soon. Hopefully i’ll find the time.

I remember this area. And if I still remember it, must mean it was a tough area.

That’s looks like the part of the game where you chase the mob guy with the squeaky voice. I recall having to redo the part several times, if the random goons didn’t kill me, the “boss” sure did.
But then again most scenes in the game were like that, the difficulty felt hella swingy all the time.
