Rest in peace James McCaffrey. I was listening this yesterday... today it was reported he passed away yesterday due to cancer, listening to this felt like a late goodbye, hope the pains finally over Max 😢😭😭💔💔💔
I miss her so much. Somewhere out there, in a distant universe, everything went right. I’m with her, and my heart has a reason to keep beating. Now it only lives for the rest of the cells in my body as it’s sole function. I wanna go back. One day I’ll forget what your voice sounded like, then your laugh, then your touch, and then I’ll stop thinking about you. That’s the day I fear the most. I miss you so much.
Reminds me a little of my mom. She died 11 years ago. I don't remember what she looks like anymore - her face is blurred when I try to think of her. I can't remember her voice, either. The pain never goes away, but it has become livable and manageable, like Max's.
@@adamm2091 I'm sorry about your whole story mate. I'm sure what you feel towards her and your memories of what the 2 of you were through together are more important than the face and the voice.
Everything is good about it. I love the cinematic feel to it; like how the screen goes static, and the dark, depressing vibe really complements the game’s tone and theme. And especially the narration: his poetic dialogue really gets you more intrigued with the character, and wants you to understand him on a deep and personal level. I wish there were more games like that.
Max Payne 3 is a masterpiece. One of the most atmospheric, well-made and impactful video games ever made; everything from the writing to the performances to the visuals to the level design and ESPECIALLY the music is magnificent. It's a game that stays with you long after finishing it.
Lol no. The writing and atmosphere is a joke compared to its predecessors and to the standards set by the franchise. Good game, but the weakest Max Payne game.
@@4589dudeWhat are you talking about? Is the old Max Payne better? Are you kidding? I played the old parts of Max Payne at release and I can say that compared to the third part they are just boring crap, except for the first part. Did the old parts have an original and very cool plot? Are you kidding? Or were you not there yet when comic book films about noir detectives who take revenge began to appear? Don't make me laugh, old man. Just admit that you like the first parts better and why come up with hypocritical lines? The first and third parts of Max Payne are the best parts. Or will you now start telling what the ORIGINAL plot is in the second part?The second part was a funny mixture of an overly serious noir and an under-fucked screenwriter, the plot was no worse than the plot in romantic films about vampires.
I played through all the Max Payne games recently. Listend to this song alot afterwards. Max's journey was wild. Sure, it was fun for me. Shooting bad guys, styling on them with bullet time. But for Max it all seemed like hell. And I was so glad that all this had a good ending in store for him. That's why, as much as I love these games, I never want to see another Max Payne game. His pain is finally over, so let Payne rest.
I don't know about this actually, for me I've never seen Max's ending as a good one, he's still alive and he's still alone, if you think about it just give it a few days and his depression will be back, as someone who lives alone and has no family, I can tell you that this kind of pain (loneliness I mean) never leaves...
@@eskenderya Oh no, the pain will never fully leave. A loss like that will leave a hole that won't close that easily. Guess I should've put it differently. But the way I see it is, that he finally learned to live with it. The song Tears is symbolic of that. And he quit drinking for the first time since the death of his family. Hell, he finally put down his guns. My Max even quit taking painkillers. People can recover. Why can't he be one of those people after so much he's been through. I'm sorry, dude. But your interpretation is needlessly depressing. And the world is already depressing enough.
@@Casshio Well, when you put it that way, I think you're actually right and I'm sorry for my depressing interpretation but like I said it's just the loneliness, it can get hard sometimes.
My crippling depression had me here since before then but that's just the cherry on top for me 😂, never in a million years did I think this would come true but I should've known when I saw the Alan Wake remaster
As a young man who has worked his kind of line of work, who has experienced too many loved ones that have passed away during a short time frame, have had my heart crushed by a couple women during all that, i have found myself medicating alone in my apartment with booze, cigarettes, weed for years, i hate that i relate to his character, i feel like a washed up has been with no happiness insight for my future, i’m just waiting for my time to come at this point, can’t do it myself, i hate when people say that option is the easy way out, there’s nothing easy about making that choice.
Same, everyone else is moving forward, but I am stuck in my mental prison. The 4 walls of my apartment, and weed, used to help me too. I could actually relax (I guess that's what relaxing is), but eventually the safety faded, and I realized my apartment was just another prison I was stuck in. People don't understand the shame, and rage that comes along with locking yourself away, you feel like a coward running from everything. Sometimes when I walk into my office, I can feel my handgun calling to me. My eyes lock on it sitting on my desk for a few seconds, before I push the thought away and move on; my inability to go to sleep consistently doesn't help that. I will pray for you my friend.
Shit....I didn't even know he passed away....damn it, he was and is such an icon. RIP James McCaffrey! I will always remember this feeling....thank you for meaning more to me than my own miserable existence on God's lonely world...
Back in 2007 my father showed me Max Payne 1 and it was fun to me, hence the graphics, bullet time etc. Later in 2013 I started to understand that there is something else than just shooting people. A painful story of a man who lost everything. Now in 2022 I somehow feel attached to Max. Even if I have a loving girlfriend, I experienced losing a person too, which strongly connected me to Max Payne back. I'm really scared of 2028 Edit: She left me today. Now I don't know what happens next Edit 2: I recovered and I was feeling well. But I was, even if I got rid of my thoughts, I still feel empty. Man I wish I could achieve what Max has at the end.
I feel your pain man. I'm just like you, now I'm taking care of myself, Going to the gym... Eating good food.... Having fun with friends... And also yeah, my father also introduced me to the game like back in 2010 and I was hooked, when I grew older, I started to realize and understand that there's more to this than a normal sad story and action. I'm with you man
Rest In Peace James McCaffrey you left a legacy of voice actoring to fill a large lake depression that it would bring someone back form the edge. You're voice work helped me though some of the most toughest times of my life. I wish I would have gotten to meet you ,shake hands, buy you a beer on the house and tell you how much of hero you were to me. Cancer has taken out more poeple in my lifetime who I enjoyed loving, seeing, listing to, and most of tell them how much they matter to me. I hope who ever reads this I want you to know you matter to someone in life and the next. Just like Max Payne once said The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it.
There's no need for max payne 4. The dark chapter in his life is over. He has moved on from the death of his family. He's living a peaceful life and there's no need for him to experience more pain.
I remember reading about Rockstar's plans for MP3 back in the day. A bald and fat Max Payne?! GTFO I said. It turned out to be one the most memorable games I've enjoyed. Great soundtrack, story, characters, and gameplay. This version takes on another level of sad. Thanks for the upload, sub'd to listen to your other great mixes and for future content. Keep up the great work.
I remember Max Payne 1 and 2 when those games released to us. I was 8 years old and played this game about this cop who lost his baby and wife through his job being a good cop.(Love you Remedy) I always imagined a quote from Max Payne: "even the gun I pulled out and shot couldn't replace the bullet holes that were left inside of myself after killing the worst possible guy I could" Max Payne was a sufferer from PTSD, Depression and I know people weren't a big fan of Max Payne 3 but to me, it exacerbated mental health and made Max Payne become more relatable, realistic within my own personal life and not a fucking comic on a piece of paper. I adore The fans of 1 and 2 but Rockstar Games hit me fucking hard with Max Payne 3 like a bad punch to the kidney, such a blow unexpectedly and so methodical. "It's exactly what the doctor ordered." A fictional character who I relate to more than the real people. Here's to you Max, Cheers.
Actually, his wife and kid were killed because his wife was a journalist, who was digging in to deep to corporate ties to V (Valkyrie; the drug in the game)
I’ve played through Max Payne 3 3 times in the last week. Like you said he’s relatable, life’s been rough lately and when everyone else around you is happy go lucky it’s hard not to find solace in someone else who’s struggling with addiction and being stuck in the past unable to move on. The way it serves as an escape from the real world is similar to how Max is just waiting to die until Pasos finds him and he finds a “purpose” which is really just indulging his violent behavior and pill addiction in a way he can feel good about. I’m rambling but yeah you get it.
This might be my favourite version of Pain. I love the way how it's slowed down and reverbed. It kinda gives a almost depressing but reflective sense of feeling to the music like with the original at least for me it does
Dude the main soundtrack already sounded sad and you just made it hit 2x harder with this 💀. "My blood mixing in with the bile stench of the city's sewers, becoming one with it. I can see them now, my wife and my baby....Honey I'm home"- Max Payne's true last words. Holy crap we're getting a remake straight from Remedy and Rockstar hands 🤞
Remedy is remaking them thank goodness it's not being handed off to another studio like Grove Street Games. Rockstar has to be busy working on a new game I would hope.
@@elmandarin1002 theyre supposed to be developed on remedy's current engine, the same one _Control_ was on, which is both exciting and disappointing... the remedy northlight engine or whatever its called is pretty great, but it sucks we wont see max payne 1 and 2 on rockstar's RAGE engine, the same one max payne 3 was on.
"There I sat, on the edge of my bed contemplating how I got here, after all the chaos there was harmony, and a splitting headache, anyone wanted me dead, now they're laying in a pool of blood with their soul escaping through the gaping hole in their forehead" A little max payne monologue coz, why not
This song hits on a whole another level, especially after so many years When it came out, MP 2 and 3 were just some games I would kill time with, now their songs feel like my past trying to call me. To show me what once was and never will be again, making me realize what I've gained and lost along the way. It was a long journey till now.
Every story has its beginning and end, and for Max it turned out to be the end, in a good way, and thank God that everything ended well for him. That feeling when you don’t need to do a sequel is the usual story of an ordinary policeman .
''I'd been sitting at the bar for three hours, or about five years, depending on how you looked at things. I tried not to look at things. I tried not to think about when it was that my existence became less about the things that make up people's lives and more about the holes that losing those things leave behind, but I wasn't doing a very good job at it.''
I am listening to this at 3 AM With no friends and no siblings in life man I feel loneliness at school and work or going out sometimes I just have a bad day because I started doing the nofap challenge and failed and my girlfriend died too 😢 and love this movie game Max Payne 3
