      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.

                  Yeah, i don’t get why you think it’s a big deal. I am hoping they keep it the same and expand. Not completely change. That’s it.

                  If you don’t expect a discussion, I am not sure why you posted your thoughts at all, lol.

                    I expect discussion. But either I didn’t convey my point well at first or you missed it. Either way that’s cool.

                    I’m excited for a new game. So are you. The last time I felt this giddy was when a new Max Payne game was coming out. That game happened to be Max Payne 3. I ended up really enjoying the game. In my opinion it was a solid Max Payne game and it gave a really good ending for the character. It also introduced me to the band HEALTH which is rad as hell. So for me, I have a fond memory of being excited for something and actually not being disappointed. It seems like lately that’s a pretty rare feeling for me.

                    What I was describing in my initial point was the feeling of anticipation for something. Not comparing perceived quality of a game, let alone comparing the games themselves. The reason I picked Max Payne 3 is because that’s how long ago I was excited for a sequel.

                    In your opinion, Max Payne 3 isn’t a very good Max Payne game. In my opinion, Max Payne 3 is a very good Max Payne game.

                    Cool.

                    " I am hoping they keep it the same and expand. Not completely change. That’s it. "

                    Cool man. I hope we both get to enjoy the game.
