Time to try finally complete Max Payne 2 after two previous failed attempts. I bought the game new and for whatever reason the game never really gripped me like the first one did. The changes to how bullet time works always throws me off. #MaxPayne#MaxPayne2#PCGaming#retrogaming
Since I reinstalled #MaxPayne, I can't stop playing it. 😅
Can't stop as in "I played it on a second evening where I found the time". It's still really fun and good. 🙂
Although I have two pain points that I noticed more today than the last time I played it.
Almost all of Act II is set between shipping containers. That's probably why I always forget about it.
If an enemy has a shotgun, their spread is reduced by roughly 1000%. They can snipe you from across a shipyard. 🤯 #ShareYourGames
@mezz it's really weird. The entire act I has small and confined spaces and starting with the very first chapter in act II -- a revisit to the hotel from the first act -- suddenly there are huge open spaces with little cover. Enemies spawn in constantly, often in far away places. I seem to be unable to hit them reliably with anything but a sniper rifle, but they insta-kill me from half a mile away with a shotgun. 😅
But I do remember that act II is pretty short and it gets better afterwards.
@mforester What are you playing it on? I never did when it came out, and I remember I tried to give it a go about 5 years ago and I couldn't get it to work on either Windows or Linux. I'd love to give it a shot someday.
