Today’s game is Max Payne 2. ever since i started doing a Theme for this month i’ve been wanting to play this because of it’s fall theme (that and the first game in winter). Now that Halloween is over it’s the perfect time for this. I even installed the widescreen fix.
I had a bug where the sound mixing was horrendous. In this room it was kind of calming though. Just lots of rain which made it soothing. The police sirens were drowned out so it was just me, Max, and the rain drops.
Going through this game after having beat it once is surreal. I’m noticing a lot of things i didn’t before. And on top of that im better at the game than before. I still have to get used to pressing F5 to save every once in a while, but besides that it’s an interesting experience.
The dream sequence was a little trippy. I think the widescreen fix did something because there are some visual errors i don’t remember. I don’t think you can see them in this screenshot, but they were there.
All of this is kind of me refreshing for the Remake coming out soon. I’m excited for it, and i wanted to brush up before it comes out to see the differences. I’m hoping it’s a case of things being different but not vastly altered, but with Remedy doing it i have a lot of trust. I just hope Sam Lake is hands on with this one again.

What game is this one from? The screenshot looks familiar but I can’t quite tell.
It’s Max Payne 2! It’s a bit old so you may have seen it before online (or maybe even played it yourself)
