    I really try to temper my excitement for most things lately, but the last sequel I was this excited for was Max Payne 3. I can not wait for this game.

      Odd choice to mention.

      I am far more hopeful for this.

      Max payne 3 was a game. A Rockstar game. But not a very good max payne game.

          Yeah it is.

          Sam Lake and Remedy made masterpieces of story telling and atmosphere. Rockstar made a third person shooter. Polished and plentiful, not a bad game at all. But it was very far removed from what made Max Payne 1 and 2 great games.

                It’s not a very good discussion. I said I don’t really get excited about a lot of things and they went on to explain why the last thing I remember being excited for is inferior.

                I imagine this person has very strong feelings about the things they like. If someone told them the thing they liked was inferior, I don’t believe they’d be receptive.

                I don’t care to compare things I’m fond of. I’m just excited for STALKER 2.

                  My point was I hope they keep stalker like a stalker game. I said it was an odd comparison because everything about max payne was not in max payne 3. They completely changed it. Alan Wake is closer to a max payne game than 3 is.

                  If you thought three was the right direction to go for you, that’s great. Like I said it’s a good game. But they drastically changed it.

                    All I said was I haven’t been this excited for a sequel in a while. I’m not comparing anything. You are.

                    I like All the Max Payne games, I like Alan Wake and I like all the STALKER games.

                    “Alan Wake is closer to a max payne game than 3 is.” In your opinion.
