One of the most high-octane, john woo inspired action sequels, with noir driven story and dialogue that hypnotizes it's players. Late actor James McCraffrey delivers one of the best raw, deep and aloof voice performance in a video game about a gun toting protagonist with nothing to lose. This third entry served as a definitive experience to one gaming's greatest video game characters. You cannot call yourself a gamer without having played any of the Max Payne games.
I also want to convey my hatred for Rockstar Games on this post. Long story short, I made an R. Social Club account using an old high school email address that no longer exists. Yes, it was a user error, but I didn't care about it. Only playing the game was my top priority. Fast forward over 13 years, and my account has yet to be restored, preventing me from playing any Rockstar titles on my Steam account. And Rockstar never bothered to address this issue. I was forced to download the pirated version which doesn't need the launcher and can install any mods I want without being warned multiple times their social club launcher will not accept third party mods.
So, Rockstar, update your games, and there will be no need to pirate and install mods.
Servers are inactive; no updates have been published, and the game is around 15 years old. That being said, you owe it to hardcore fans to make this available DRM-free on GOG so that future gamers can play it alongside the first and second games.
Absolute best third person shooter Rockstar ever made. No open-world slop, no driving for 15 minutes straight to a mission objective, just pick a level and start blasting. I'd love to be able to play this game DRM-free without that Rockstar Launcher crap! The unskippable cutscenes are annoying but can be fixed with a mod, letting you experience more gameplay without the story obstructing you constantly.
The gunplay and ragdolls are so good, the best Rockstar has ever made. Not even GTA V has gunplay and ragdolls this good! The weapons are powerful sounding, too. I spent 300 hours on the Steam version just replaying my favorite levels in Arcade Mode (unlocked once you clear Story Mode at least once)! The Arcade Mode adds much more replay value as it always sticks you into the first gunfight of each chapter, letting you bypass the mandatory slow-walking segments that some chapters start with.
I have this game on DVDs but because they added a requirement that you must install Rockstar program to play it; however, I wasn't able to play unless I turn off the internet. Their program is so buggy and their IT are useless in recognizing the problem even after telling them of what the exact issue is. Thus I wish GOG sells the game without requiring Rockstar program to play it.
joguei no Xbox360 e pra mim foi uma experiência maravilhosa, gostaria de comprar e jogar no meu pc e desfrutar desse jogo maravilhoso de ótimos gráficos e uma jogabilidade excelente.
**Why *Max Payne 3* Is the Best in the Series and Needs to Be on GOG**
*Max Payne 3* stands as the boldest and most emotionally intense entry in the iconic series. While the original two games pioneered the noir-inspired narrative and bullet-time gameplay, *Max Payne 3* took things to another level—offering a gritty, cinematic experience that perfectly blended storytelling with refined third-person shooting mechanics.
This game represents the evolution of Max as a character. No longer the trench coat-wearing cop in snowy New York, Max is older, more broken, and drowning in painkillers and regret. The narrative dives deep into themes of guilt, addiction, and redemption, making it the most mature and emotionally resonant story in the trilogy. Rockstar Games brought their signature storytelling flair, turning Max’s downward spiral into a tragic, unforgettable journey.
Gameplay-wise, *Max Payne 3* is a masterpiece of refined combat. The shooting is responsive, weighty, and brutal. The use of bullet time is smoother than ever, with stylish animations and impactful kill cams that make every firefight feel like a movie scene. The physics-driven enemy reactions, destructible environments, and dynamic cover system elevated it far beyond its predecessors.
It *needs* to be on GOG because it’s a piece of modern action-game history. A DRM-free version would not only preserve this masterpiece for future generations, but give fans a way to experience its powerful narrative and intense gameplay without being tied to outdated launchers or online restrictions. *Max Payne 3* deserves a permanent place in the PC gaming hall of fame—and on GOG’s shelves.
Before Knowing about The Max Payne Series I remember going into the store with my dad to look at a new game to buy around the time this game called MAX PAYNE 3 Release. It looked interesting to me, even if it had a 3 next to it and I never played the originals. Even though its harder for me to like the originals. Not hating. But this one out of all 3 that i've played, I LOVED IT. Played through it many times on the xbox 360. Got the steam version awhile ago, play it on there and was like, man I wish they was an offline version of this game. A DRM FREE VERSION?? Lets hope GOG Can make this game and even its original COME TO GOG! I BEG YOU ALL TO GET ROCKSTAR To come to there senses? Even if it seems impossible RN :(
I don’t think this will ever happen, since the game is also on RGL, but we can hope. Not many people actually like MP3 because of its long cutscenes and the shift away from the comic-style dialogues, but as someone who played the first two games, I really enjoyed it and would love to have it in my GOG library as well.

Vigilante 8The game's storyline is built around an alternate history, in which there was a worldwide oil crisis in the 1970s and the U.S. was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots and crime were rampant, and all available law enforcement were brought to the cities leaving the outlands vulnerable. A foreign multinational oil consortium, Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), was determined to monopolize the world oil trade. The U.S. was the last country that stood in their way and they were prepared to go to any length to bring the U.S. to its knees.
OMAR hired Sid Burn, a professional terrorist, to push the U.S. economy over the edge. Sid began to organize his troops in the remote areas of the southwest. Calling themselves the "Coyotes," they began to target oil refineries, commercial installations and other vital industry throughout the region. With the law enforcement in the cities, some desperate civilians began to take the law into their own hands. Led by a trucker named Convoy and referred to simply as the "Vigilantes," this oddball group soon became a major hindrance to Sid.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government, feeling more vulnerable than ever, was intensifying its research and development of a new military arsenal. The most advanced weaponry, rumored to be based on UFO technology, was located at Site-4, a secret facility at Papoose Lake. This information was not lost on Sid, and the Coyotes ambushed the facility. However the Vigilantes unexpectedly appeared to stop them and as a result, both parties found themselves in possession of the world's most advanced weaponry.
What followed were no ordinary skirmishes. Auto clashes ensued all over the land, from Colorado's Rockies to California's farmlands, only to culminate in a battle like no other. To this day the events which took place are only a matter of speculation.Action Fantasy Historical
Vigilante 8: 2nd OffenseThe story of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense centers on the international meddlings of an oil conglomerate from the future known as OMAR (Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime).
After finding an electronic armband in a service station bathroom, former Vigilante Slick Clyde rose to be controlled by OMAR. Working up through the ranks of command he soon came to be the CEO of OMAR itself and made a complete monopoly on all oil trades with the sole exception of the United States.
With the help of his student and hitman, Obake, he steals the technology to allow him to travel through time. Taking with him Obake and his cybernetic assassin, Dallas 13, he makes the jump back to the 1970s to cripple the United States and bring OMAR to total domination.
Appearing in the 1970s, the three vehicles encounter Convoy, the former leader of the Vigilantes. Upon seeing him, the three cars open fire.Action Fantasy Comedy

Vigilante 8: ArcadeAction
ManhuntManhunt is a third-person stealth horror game. The game consists of twenty levels, and four bonus levels that can be unlocked; the levels are referred to as "scenes". Players survive the Scenes by dispatching enemy gang members known as "Hunters", occasionally with firearms but primarily by stealthily executing them in gruesome, over-the-top ways.
The player is rated at the end of each level, primarily dependent on the gruesomeness of the killings and the speed of completion, from one (unimpressive) to five (extremely competent) stars. Executions are preferred in order to gain a higher score, thus encouraging players to play as viscerally as possible. The game's locales are full of "dark spots" and shadows where the player can hide while being chased by the Hunters; hiding in these dark areas makes the player invisible to opponents.Action Horror Thriller Stealth

Everything from the first The Suffering has been refined and turned up a notch for the sequel.Action Fantasy Horror Survival
