Okay... game. I wish they added English subtitles for the Portuguese kind of like how you would see English subs over Serbian words or Russian words in GTAIV, which in here I presume they didn't do it for immersion and that makes a whole lot of sense
Also... why does a RAGE game have FMVs? GTAIV and L.A. Noire made great use of ingame cutscenes and it worked well, over here they utilized half-FMVs and half-ingame cutscenes, which I didn't like since it felt weird constantly switching from 144hz to 30fps all the damn time.
Gameplay/story wise... I disliked how wonky the controls of controlling max payne were for movement, everytime I would look through a different direction I'd have to push the mouse really far, it was clear that this was a console port due to wonkiness of the movement. Story-wise, Payne in Brazil certainly sounds cool but the New Jersey story is where stuff is really confusing, an entire mob trying to take some guy down, wouldn't it make more sense if the Mob tried sending someone down to Brazil to finish the job as Payne had a huge bounty on him? Too much thinking here.
I don't think we're gonna see more Payne since MacAffrey died in late 2023, it sucks but I am looking forward to the remakes Remedy had promised us.

my head hurts from the seizure-inducing number sequences wouldn't recommend for the epileptics
my main issue was that black ops is really unoptimized even for linux, occassional FPS drops and there's no sound at all, had to use all types of flavors of Proton and Wine to make it work. Steam's Proton doesn't work at all and the one that has proper sound support ends up crashing the game when youre in a FMV transitioning to another mission.
Story wise, I think the game is okay, I don't like the Western narrative of Cold War and the Reznov part is sure annoying, kind of like Atlas with WYK in Bioshock. The sad part about COD:BO is that it was the start of Call of Duty becoming a cash cow for Activision because of MW2 and so on, every other game they thought they'd expect to see something good as an output, but in the end, this series has been dead since BO3 in my eyes.

i played it a bit and I don't know it's the same long ass game like Minecraft. i downloaded this game for the sole purpose of shipping sephiroth with mikhail faustin from gta 4 and it worked well later on i got some cast of bioshock as neighbors and the protagonist of midnight club los angeles was banging some vamp twink and married on the same day of meeting him
roman and niko were there too but roman was actually a literal deadbeat who watched TV and slept on the public bench outside of his home and niko became a wageslave for the criminal overlords he was working for
id play it more if i could shell out more simoleons that any of my households fail to make any because theyre all inexperienced adults'
