Well, we have Duke, I'm sure Max would be a welcome addition.

Grargar: Wow, it's so realistic! What shaders did they use?

SpooferJahk: Top stuff that will definitely need quad GeForce GTX Titans just to run on the minimum settings.
Woah, that stuff is, like, really heavy.

It makes anything Crytek produces look like a baby's toy. :P

Now, that's a scary thought.

Grargar: The first game is a very good one. The sequels, less so.
Haven't tried the last one, as it's probably no good, being made by new developers.

First one is a bit repetetive, but still great playing experience. I think I have played it through at least six times (3 times per playthrough, once on each difficulty level x 2). Definetely a classic, even with some faults.

Second one is the hardest thing to approach. On one hand, it finetunes the game mechanics and improves the experience from the first game. On the other hand, the "love noir" thing is so bad writing and so implausible that it's somewhere between embarassing and disgusting to follow, also it doesn't have that depressing feeling that the first game had. Still, overall, it's a fun experience if you can block out Mona Sax from your brain.

I think this series could really benefit from "back to the roots" reboot.
Keep what is essential, leave out the rest.

First one was better than the second. Still both great games.The third one is another story...:/
It should be here, make it so :)
The third game is great as well IMO as it was developed by Rockstar with the James McCaffrey returning to reprise the role, this time providing motion capture as well. The game is like playing through an action movie and I really enjoyed it. The major downside though is all the DRM.

Grargar: And here he is again for round 2.

tinyE: At least he seems to be in a bathroom in your pic and that's always a plus just in case those prunes kick in.

Man I love the intellect and sophistication that folks like you and I bring to this forum! :D
He is clearly trying to smile in both pictures. What, you've never seen a Finnish guy smile? Me neither.

As for the topic, yeah I would re-buy them from GOG, if they came here. I have finished the retail versions of 1-2 already, and I wouldn't be surprised I'll end up having the Steam versions at some point just because they release some ultra-cheap bundle with Max Payne 1-3. But still, I'd like to have DRM-free installers too.

I loved the original MP, those cheesy Brooklyn accents, the graphic novel cut-scenes, some of the locations like that sleazy love motel, just perfect

Also, Lords and Ladies!

Considering how much she runs around... I'd guess she smells of sweat.

Oh my god, he has Youngblood's disease! 8C
Because Remedy sold IP to Rockstar, I think chances are very slim. Voted for first two ages ago, of course :).

pigdog: Yes but Max Payne 3 has the most epic level of the series.....No spoilers but I think anyone who has played it would know what scene I'm referring to.
Frankly I don't. MP3 felt very same-y to me, I have hard time remember any of it except these "edgy" moments but that's hardly an achievement and more like remembering bits of Jackass ad. Its predecessors are a different cup of tea.

(A mere opinion sharing; I am not dissing.)
