Shack PSA: Max Payne Games $5 on Steam

Okay, I've never played 1 or 2. I doubt I have time for both...though it's only $7.50 for the bundle. Should I get the first or second?

If you do not own any of the Max Payne games already, then you NEED to buy them. Otherwise, you'll be missing out on the best story driven action game ever.

Those graphics hold up so well. Is it just me or does that Max Payne 2 screen shot look like it could be for a game coming out this year?

Why is this not available in Australia? >:(

I had already purchased GTA collection a about 2-3 months ago, but for some reason, had been holding off on Manhunt and the Max Payne bundle, and I am *extremely* glad I did.

As soon as I read this on the way home, I hopped on my system and bought those 3. Manhunt was a fun game, but Max Paynes were just so amazing.

And maybe I'm the only crazy one, but I absolutely *love* the dream sequences with the baby crying, and the blood lines to walk on. Some of my favorite levels of any game.

Steam wins me over, again. <3

I really, really loved the music in these games.

I'd love to buy this, too bad none of Rockstar's games are available outside of the US.

Won't you let me give you money Rockstar? Won't you? No? Ok then, your loss.

ARGH. I JUST BOUGHT THIS LAST MONTH!!!

Pick this up guys, I got Max Payne 2 on my night table next to my bed and I hired 2 hobos dressed like angels to sing next to it.

Everyone playing Max Payne 1 should try out the Kung Fu mod, it was awesome. Made the game so much more interesting.

I don't know if it'll work with the Steam version though.

I'm loving the juxtaposed images of him from both games- awesome. Such great character design in these games. Well, pretty much everything is awesome in these games.

Another steam game/collection not available for Latin America.

And here I was thinking global/digital sales were meant to make this shit easier.

I bought them have been playing through the first one. But holy shit, I never realized just how much Max sounds like Keifer Sutherland. Maybe he should have been cast in the movie instead...

Shit yeah, just bought the package. I never bough Max Payne 2, just borrowed it (yes borrowed, not stolen) from a friend and the convenience of having both of steam is worth the extra 2.50 :D

I wish Steam could figure out I already own this... and then manage my copy for me :/

I love his face in the first game. Looked like he was trying to pass a bowling ball through his urethra.

I just installed Max Payne 2 recently. One of my favorite games and I wish there were more games of this type and caliber.

I kinda feel guilty for buying these games at a mere $7.50

Yeah, GTA 1 + 2 aren't sold on Steam because they're free from the Rockstar web site (http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/). They only include them as part of the GTA pack, which is also half price.

Purchased!
you really can't beat $7.50 for both of em.

/flesh of fallen angels!

THE BABY WON'T STOP CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason GET 1 and 2 are $15 is because they are only available as part of the GTA (or Rockstar) bundle, so to get either game you have to spend $15, but you get all the GTA games.

For some reason Max Payne 1 doesn't run for me when installed off the CD anymore. I discovered this recently and was sad.

Bundle purchased. :D

Duplicating my latestchatty post here just for grins:

Coincidentally I've been playing Max Payne (Steam version) for the first time over the past few days.

If you're playing it on Vista you probably won't have sound in the cutscenes; to fix that grab http://shotgun1.shackspace.com/files/Max_Payne_Vista_Sound_Fix.zip and follow the directions within.

It's an awesome game; lays on the cheese quite thick but that's fine! It reminds me a lot of F.E.A.R. in terms of the combat, urban locations, and even some weird "visions", which is okee-dokee since I like F.E.A.R. a lot. The weapons in Max Payne aren't as diverse, but still fun to use. The whole slow-mo diving-while-shooting thing doesn't seem to get old for me.

Looks pretty good with all video settings maxed (haha) out, although it's amusing now to look at it and consider that this was the hottest of hot shit graphics back in the day.

The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the Plot Armor on some of the bad guys. Even your normal mob mook in this game is more accurate and more bullet-resistant than you are, which you get used to, but then you go up against some doughy little guy in shirtsleeves who absorbs a grenade or two and 3 clips from your dual SMGs just because the plot considers him to be a miniboss. Seems out of place, but oh well.

I imagine I'm getting close to the end now, will probably finish it off tonight. (Then on to MP2?)
