Max Payne 3's Hardcore Achievement is SUPER Unfair 

Hit that sub button and ring that bell. Morgan put out an amazing video. This was great to watch while I wait on AC6 to download. Have an awesome day.

‘No way, that is so unfortunate’ is the most measured and humble reaction to a run reset

„That is so unfortunate.“ You unlocked the Magnificent Composure achievement there. Hats off.

Him: "F*ck you, Max Payne! 🖕" Me: "R.I.P. James Perry McCaffrey. 😢"

I love achievement hunting, but sometimes I see achievements like this and I have unbelievable respect for someone like yourself for getting it. Let alone attempting it more than once. I could never. My patience would be lost probably on my first death. So you sir are an absolute Chad for that alone. Edit: I just noticed it was only 10G. What an insult to all those injuries lol

Bruh you did this on a gamepad holy shit, Good job, you achievement channels are insanely inspirational and informative. Much better than a long play I'm currently grinding Score Attack and that shit is making my chest hairy.

My Proudest Hardest Trophy/Platinum I Earned was The Evil Within (Pure Evil, Platinum) all because of the Akumu Difficulty (You Asked for it , Gold) where Every Enemy No Matter How Big or Small they Are Instantly Kills You In One Hit and Less Ammo

i remember that grenade launcher section in near the end destroying a day or two of of my life.

Another underrated channel. Wayyyy underrated.

I loved this game but one of the best moments in gaming is when you make it to the airport lobby and Tears from HEALTH kicks in.

One of the most challenging achievements, for sure. I grinded the hell out of MP3 and knew it by heart, yet, the random glitch or insta-death scenario were the bane of my existance for that achievement. PS: Max can swim - but as some cutscenes imply, falling in the water with armed goons around you kinda means you're dead.

Look, I love Max Payne, i would've tried to get this achievement myself. But 1h30m of cutscenes is tough man

It is, my game also crashed if I paused it for too long, so I couldn't take brakes. Finished it after like 10th try, took about 2.5 hours, but I was really proud of it

The foreshadowing in this was incredible.

I've finished this thing a couple of days ago. Took me 15 tries. 🤣 And the 14th run was the most frustrating, cause that time I've died in the luggage area in the beginning of the final chapter.

It's a shame the multiplayer achievements are unobtainable but still looks like a great game to check out.

My proudest achievement is the Auld Lang Syne trophy in Bioshock Infinite, I initially went in as a joke thinking I’d get decimated in the first enemy encounter but it was surprisingly easy, that’s when I realised I can do it. The worst part was the good time club level, it took me THREE DAYS to get past, there were times where I’d get frustrated and take a few hours off the game to play MGS1. I did it within a week after the game launched, I was so happy and that got me fired up for any challenge just don’t get me started on FFXIV’s Feast of Famine quest😅 I also got the Scavenger Hunt trophy on the same run, it is very easy to get. I relied on scavenging for stuff in levels and accessing secret rooms for extra goodies.

11:03 My proudest achivement is Queen Hatschepsut in Serious Sam 3 BFE where you need to best the final level, on the hardest difficulty (Serious) without dying or loading a save. It is not as impressive as your perma death runs since the level is only an estimated 80 minutes long but the 1500 enemies + Final bossfight still made this challenging for me.

My man getting nostalgic with the 3rd game, I'm getting nostalgic with the 1st... old af

Took me dozens of attempts. Not sure what version you played, but this was a 2-disc long physical copy, swapping when you get to the office level. I started making a daily journal of my failed attempts on TA to keep my sanity. So many bugs. Got to the final sequence and had to take a breather because my shots kept missing the plane. Cried from the shock* of almost choking and finally finishing it.

@15:15….”BRUH”….. I really like the time concept of this mode .. can’t think of any other game that does it off the top of my head ?

One time, I got to the sequence shown in the start of the video, and Max clipped through the floor somehow. He clipped and fell into the void.

I've never played Max Payne 3 before, nor am I an avid achievement hunter, but that frustration was so familiar. See, my brother and I had a specific term for sequences present in all Rockstar games - we referred to them simply as 'Rockstar Moments'. This was kind of a catch-all term for extremely frustrating points you could find in pretty much all of their games. Whether they were ridiculous difficulty spikes in otherwise easy games (PS2 era GTA games were great at this); vehicle/escort sections that sucked because of janky, undercooked mechanics; arbitrary but punishing time constraints; random, mission-ending glitches; poorly placed save points, or really anything else that made you go "that's some bullshit." The effect of the Rockstar Moment is always the same and it can be observed clearly in the video. For the first few seconds you are in disbelief as you get the lingering feeling that the developer broke an implied level of trust between you and them, then you grow frustrated and wonder why you're even playing this piece of junk in the first place, but the next day you realize you must soldier on because conquering this game is the only thing that'll make the nightmares stop. Nearly every death you suffered was a certified Rockstar Moment. So, mad respect.

Doing this on controller is crazy, good stuff man

all gas no breaks, cranks... i think we have a bilmuri listener here

That opening rocket booped you real good

The devs from Max Payne 3 thought: " GTAI V is nice but nobody actually needed cover or struggled in that game. Lets change that" :) Imagine if that game had randomized enemiy spawns or even more difficultie. After that Achievement you truly feel max pain :) I tried to replay this game last year and also encountert some game- breaking bugs, thankfully I wasnt even thinking about Permadeath runs.

There are some cutscenes you can skip, but at a certain point my game would stop loading; I read online that if you don't skip them this error won't happen I did this on my other channel, and I wrote down tips ( FycOnvFMM6k , I imagine copy pasting the tips here is way too long) 6:30 The Desert Eagle penetrated a goon and killed Fabiana, for me EDIT: 16:40 Oh no. 19:10 You also start that with the Glock, which I prefer

Even the speedruns of this mode are similarly on the edge.

15:21 there is no way you shit the bed that hard 😂

Mile high club my first granded game and it felt so good getting it

This is the most unfair game mode of all Max Payne. Dare I say, and correct me if I'm wrong, of all gaming. I did succeed on the third try but still. Even without so many game-breaking glitches that cause you to lose the challenge, this mode is insanely difficult. Luckily, none of my failed attempts were due to glitches. I lost the first one because, in chapter 2, I just could not hit the guy that was going towards Giovanna as she was trying to open the door and the second was on whopping chapter 13, in the lock-up section, the guy with an FAL hit me from inside the control booth while I was taking cover behind a pillar, way across the room, got me into last stand and ducked so I could not hit him, and of course, I ran out of bullets and then Maxs body ragdolled exaggeratedly in a death animation and that was game over. I succeeded in the third attempt though.

Man i despise when games add multiplayer only achievements and then they shut down the server without even bothering to update the game to at least give the achievement right as you boot the game

Probably my best achievement is Halo's "Why Do This To Yourself"...I thought about going for "LASO Master" but I actually enjoy the other halo games and don't want to ruin them too. (jk it's cause fuck that)

Man those cutscenes is why I don't want to play the game again. It's a drag lol.

3:30 Speedrunners be like

Have you thought about DOOM Eternal on ultra nightmare mode?

Good job!!

Done it, I’m part of the 0.33% . PC tho

Ayo 12k subs now!?

I hate when achievements like this only give you 10 gamerscore

"On the Xbox 360 and PS3." Ignoring the fact that it has perfect hit detection honed specifically for the mouse/keyboard controls offered by the PC release, to the point that if you select "soft lock" servers in multiplayer while using mouse/keyboard, the game *_actively tells you you're at a disadvantage because gamepad players have aim-snap and you don't._*

Annoys me that a lot of these glitches are still common i mean how many shooters have you lined up a headshot that worked every other time but this time it just doesn't appear or register? In most hard mode in shooter its usually those things that are hardest everything else you can kind of grind through

All that for 10 gamerscore 😂

Pc servers are still up. Complete the game on pc

the cutscenes are unskipable only cos ur hardware is too weak

wait how old are you??

You still in your momma's basement? I finished dead space remake platinum..

What the actual f is wrong with the pos devs for making this trophy a thing? Who in the right mind thought this is what trophy hunters would want to deal with?? This difficulty is absolutely mental and is not even worth doing but I commend you for actually tackling it. I hope it didn’t shave off a few years of your life from the immense stress it put you under. Devs need to do better.

Not even 20 seconds in and I'm asking: HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE AFTER THAT?!?

Man I love MP3, but even on normal its pretty hard. Mad respect for your achievments. Greetings from Germany

My first death on this run was shooting Fabina in the face during the boat jump at the end of chapter 5 😅

this game fuckin crunched me up on Normal difficulty as an oldschool fan, props to you for your patience

dafuq, all that with a gamepad??? can't even navigate with that, but a shooter where you have to precisely aim? How is that possible?

Congrats on getting the achievement, you played well and fought hard. I remember when i did this challenge but on PC. Which is easier with aiming but it tends to crash a lot. I have played Max Payne 3 so many times that i began to discover many exploits, spawn manipulation and shortcuts. One that could have been more useful for you is the rapid fire exploit. Max doesn't have any reload animations while shoot dodging so you can empty a magazine and fill it mid jump. But thats not all. While in a shoot dodge you shoot slower, right? But if you reload it resets that sort of cool down. Meaning you can shoot one shot reload and shoot again and if you are fast enough you can pump out a insane amout of lead. Very good for armored enemies but you deplete your ammo faster. Sort of a risk vs reward exploit.

So basically Rockstar releases an unfinished game (again) and then they don’t fix it and you have to suffer because of their incompetence. I feel you

My favorite part of this channel is not that you hunt achievements, but when you try to play games on HARDCORE difficulty! It reqs some STEEL balls. And ofc the fact that you explain everything that happens in the story :) Mad respect!

"we'll just see how this shit cranks" is my new life motto

Crazy you go through all that suffering for only 10G 😂Really enjoyed the vid man, keep it up homie!

This was my favorite video yet! You deserve at least 100k views on this video. Its only a matter of time before this channel blows up 🔥

What a game, Huge congrats on this!

4:45 to be fair that was kind of self defence. Those idiot gangsters were waving guns around and threatening people in addition to smacking the woman. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to shoot someone simply for pointing a gun at you and/or other innocent people.

Edits in this were incredible and loved the humor as always. So stoked every time I see a new video of yours come out! Keep em coming!

Instant Like for that RPG to the face, I've never seen that being a possibility in that part of the game.

This and the Wolfenstein 2 videos are both awesome! Keep up the great work, subbed!

Passo's isn't an ex cop. He at least didn't even know Max. During the yacht mission you go to Passo's room and spot a post it note with Max's name on it and where he lives. The information he was given by Victor, presumably. Also, De Silva said to Max after Max said we knew each other at the academy, "Did you really?" Max was so drunk and fucked up during the whole thing that he couldn't even tell people were head hunting him to be a fall guy. Just a few details most players miss is all. It's amazing how many people think that Passo's knew Max. He didn't.

lmao no way - respect how much time you put into this. Tried this once, got to the football stadium - killed by the sniper - never again. 15:23 - felt this hard. When that happens I dive straight away haha

Always look forward to these new videos, I hope you blow the fuck up with subscribers man

Outstanding work, another great permadeath achievement added to your collection! Very nice vids!

6:35 How in the FUCK did you score 6 minutes on that mission. Literally how. It's RNG based.

Ive watched enough of your videos where when I hear "unskippable cutscenes" i get angry for you

Hardcore new york minute was one of those challenges that took me almost a third of my play hours in this game. Glad I'm never doing that again.

It is ten-thousand times worse when you're doing attempting something challenging and you don't succeed not even because YOU failed, but the GAME did. Mad props for this Achievement!

Nice luck being able to do this with only few attempts, and nice skills being able to do this at all. I struggled a lot more, and gone through quite a few attempts that ended with a bug or game crash, these are the most frustrating, 'cause it's not even your fault, the game was just having a bad day. Anyway, nice video as well.

Holy shit, this game has ACTUAL gameplay and not just cutscenes?? Never would have guessed.

You’ve inspired me to attempt this run myself, my love for this game shall carry myself

Quick answer: NO!, the game gets stuck in a cursed infinite loading screen issue... happened to me on PC and PS3

just 10 points... lmao

I played it back when it released, and didn't knew you could disable the laser aim until like my 3rd playthrough

13:46. So I finished this today, got to the hotel twice . First time killed myself with the Grenade launcher. Seeing you recommend and use it is giving me ptsd.

I'm pretty sure I had this achievement from back in the day. Great game, I really loved the gunplay in it. The multiplayer was really good too, unfortunately I was quite late to it (most people had moved on to GTAV) and couldn't get all achievements.

5:54 I encountered that glitch on the final level of hardcore. I got into last stand and I freaked out because I almost missed that window to kill the shooter. Luckily I hit it and got back up to finish the run as my first time doing it. This game was not built to speedrun😭 Congrats bro! This is no little feat!

I gave up on this achievement when my game crashed towards the end of chapter 7 (PS3)

took me over 7 years playing at least 15 times a week. all to beat it in just 2 hours on a fun practice no care try. lol

You're the only achievement ytber I subbed to. Gonna try this mode after work. Easily the best third person shooter ever

20:57 Made a smile on my face .. what an awesome job. Especially with all the glitches man that';s annoying.

It took me about 20 tries to do it. I got to the final hangar shootout and died 2 or 3 times..it SUCKED!!! When I finally got it and had to hit that airplane.. my heart was absolutely pounding!!! When I got it... it was more a relief than anything. The adrenaline rush lasted for about 5 to 10 minutes.

only 10 gamerscore for that is absolutely INSANE. G fuckin G my friend.

Once you know the enemy layout of each of the levels its not too hard.I asked Rockstar support about the difficulty level of New York Minute Hardcore,and they said it has the Medium difficulty level.

My proudest achievement is in max Payne 3 and it’s a license to kill which you get by unlocking all the golden gun parts and I did this on my pc and on my Xbox and it took 3 days of grinding

I couldn't go back to this game because the cutscenes were tedious af and took forever. It ruined any desire to play it again. Ffs there's such a good game in here and the unskippable cutscenes ruin it.

I completed it once years ago But before successing I literally lost to the plane chase at the end ! Didn't know it wasn't even possible !😢

Nice video, but watching you aim on a controller was painful. Play is on PC and it's a whole new experience.

What a fun ride! Keep it up man!

Max payne 3 is the best game in this universe or galaxy or whatever

here is a fun challenge! beat the game again in this dificulty and every time you take pain killers in the game, you take them in real life!

Maybe it’s in the PC version, but you can’t shoot the NPC you’re trying to protect on the PS version.

Anyone realise how stupid and bad the story of Max Payne 3 is compared to its predecessors??

"ah it can't be THAT bad!.... oh wait you're doing it on xbox?? dang...."

Now what is more difficult? this mode or Mein Laben from Wolfenstein II?
