Was Max Payne 2 one of the worst and most disappointing sequel??

The love story between Max and Mona in Max Payne 2 is perfect. I'd say it's better than any movie I've seen.

The story in Max Payne 1 is great too, but Max Payne 2 is a much higher budget game, and it shows.

The first 2 games sucked. Max Payne 3 is awesome.

@ajstyles: All three games are great, your gaming opinions are as dumb as Ghost.

Max Payne 1 is 10/10 perfect

Max Payne 2 is 6/10 ok

Max Payne 3 is 9/10 great

Who cares which is best? We should all be bitching that these kinda games are not made anymore.

thanks to RPG elements and open world. are the reason these games not being made.

but my friend, remember I didnot liked MP3 at first but when i gave it second chance. i started to love it. because you praise it many times so i gave it second chance.

I wouldn't even blame that to much. I think it has more to do with online and greedy publishers pushing lootboxes and microstractions just look what happen to GTAV single player DLC it's got scrapped because Rockstar where making so much money off of those damn shark cards.

I mainly blame Gears of War and all those other clumsy over the shoulder cover shooters, followed by the wave of lame pseudo-RPG action games. Pure shooters are deemed too simplistic now. Everything needs menus and skill trees and XP points and puzzles and all this other filth that just dilutes the essence of what these games are supposed to be. I miss simplicity.

Good points I miss the simplicity too.

@ghosts4ever: I didn't think it was a bad game, just a bit different, but at least it had the same character and similar aesthetic. Max Payne 3 had some haggard bald guy who didn't even look like max payne. It looked more like walt from breaking bad gained 100lbs and was in a Brazil or something. Hence I never played the 3rd one, it just seemed off from what I seen.

As for the other games. Deus EX IW was a disappointment but it did have a good engine for the time, it was just too small and constrained due to xbox OG hardware focus. Ironically theif3 used the same engine and did great (although again it had to split city into hub sections. Fear 2 I actually loved. I would love a remaster of those games (as well as dead space). Fear 2 had great atmosphere and different environments compared to the same blandness of the treatment plant/offices of fear 1. Although fear 1 had better physics.

Agreed. I had high hopes for the game but it was horrible. It had worse jumping mechanics then any of the old ps1 games. Horrible game. They could of done a lot with the setting, but it was wasted by bad gameplay, bugs and other issues.

Anyone gassing up Max Payne 3 over 2 deserves the meanest side eye. Eat less shit pls
