The Fall Of Max Payne Announced

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out Rockstar Games have announced Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, the sequel to the third-person action title from Remedy Entertainment. The press release indicates the game will ship for PC this fall, but doesn't mention when the console versions will come out. This follows last year's announcement that 3D Realms/Apogee and Remedy had sold the intellectual property for Max Payne to Rockstar for around 35 million dollars in cash and shares, for those wondering which bottomless pit Duke Nukem Forever's development budget is coming from.

I have been following the stories and comments surrounding Slashdotting Ass Philandering Communist Community, and frankly, I'm appalled. Why doesn't Slashdotting Ass Philandering Communist Community point a critical finger at himself for a change? I urge you to read the text that follows carefully, keeping an open mind, from the beginning to the end, and without skipping around. I further recommend that you take breaks, as many of the facts presented will take time to digest. The vast majority of people would probably be willing to help me deal with him appropriately. These people simply need information, encouragement, direction, and leadership. Let's be frank: Each rung on the ladder of recidivism is a crisis of some kind. Each crisis supplies an excuse for him to cultivate an unhealthy sense of victimhood. That is the standard process by which unstable ignoramuses damn this nation and this world to Hell. Slashdotting Ass Philandering Communist Community's memoranda always follow the same pattern. He puts the desired twist on the actual facts, ignores inconvenient facts, and invents as many new "facts" as necessary to convince us that the purpose of life is self-gratification. When a political condition of greed, massive corruption, and diversity of objective is coupled to a social condition of drugs, violence, and discontent, therein exists the perfect environment for Slashdotting Ass Philandering Communist Community to create an unwelcome climate for those of us who are striving to search for solutions that are more creative and constructive than the typically irritable ones championed by sordid bimbos. He respects nothing, honors nothing, and values nothing beyond himself. Think I'm exaggerating? Just ask any of the most valuable members of our community, and they'll all tell you how he has neither honor nor integrity, nor even knows what those words mean. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life. Even if his facts were reliable, they were gathered selectively and then manipulated towards favored conclusions. On a completely different tack, when people say that bigotry and hate are alive and well, they're right. And Slashdotting Ass

Big deal

Max Payne was hacky story and one gameplay gimmick (bullet time). Sure, bullet time was fun to do the first three dozen times I used it. But only the most die-hard FPS fans can stand level after level of pedestrian design and endless shooting. When I ended up in a warehouse full of crates...CRATES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...I knew I'd reached my limit.

To make it worse, the voice acting and writing were awful. It was as if they wanted to sound like a modern Raymond Chandler, but weren't clever enough to know a stupid metaphor if it came running at them screaming like a scaly, hot demon from hell and bit them in the icy, cold ass of writing skills. It's just wrong to subject gamers to tired level design *and* bad writing. The hammy acting didn't help, of course.

Ok, I'll stop there. Max Payne 2...big deal. More complaining here and here.
