For whatever reason I’ve had major network issues on my end (fucking AT&T man). I’d have to assume it’s on my end because as far as I’ve heard there was no major outage, but I did get today’s out even if it’s a bit late. Today’s game is Max Payne. I wanted to play this January, since I assume December/January was when this takes place.
I went ahead and left it at its natural resolution out of laziness but to be honest, I might leave it like this. It doesn’t look bad at all and it helps mask the harsh jagged edges I’d see at 4k.
I also went ahead and installed the adaptive difficulty fix, and it makes a world of difference. For people who don’t know, the PC version is bugged and the enemies after a bit will cap out at the hardest difficulty values because it doesn’t account for death like it’s supposed to.
I’m keeping today a bit short because I already wasted enough time trying to get this actually posted, but I went all the way to the hotel before stopping.
With the fix I installed I was mowing through enemies like a lawn mower, it was a good feeling after already being exhausted by that level the last time I played
It makes the game far more enjoyable so I’d suggest it for anyone wanting to play (unless you want the adaptive difficulty of course)
