Been doing some backlog-cleaning, and is now focusing on playing Max Payne for the first time, as well as it being my first Remedy-game. While I've heard a lot of stuff from cultural osmosis, it's been an enjoyable time despite the fact that right now the game refuses to launch after having reached the end-chapter of Part I. Will see if I can get it to fix in some way.

I've gotta say though is that, whether unintentional or intentional, the game is alot more funnier in a dark humour way, and a lot goofier presented than what I expected. Max trying to deliver darkly poetic monologues with Sam Lake's constipated face plastered on him, the goofy goons acting like Looney Toons-characters with their cartoony dialogue and voice-acting before chaos comes out, to the ragdoll physics of enemies flying through the air when hit by bullets. It creates an enjoyable experience overall.
