In that time, I enjoyed Max Payne more.
MGS2 probably holds up better today, though.

I wanted to make a thread called Amber Heard and Metal Gear Solid 2 and link this codec call. Next to it predicting the future so accurately and deeply. It also gave me insight on personality disordered people.

A lot more divisive than I was expecting.

The Main Theme of MGS2 is by far one of the greatest theme's not only in game's history, but entertainment history.

What's worse is MGS killed off the cool ninja guy and gave us patched together Ninja Raiden, FROM OFF SCREEN, to replace him.

People giving empathy emojis; I did not mean to offend lol. I love the Max Payne and Metal Solid series. I just think what Max Payne did has been done better since (especially by Max Payne 2), but nothing has really re-captured Metal Gear Solid 2's essence or even tried to; it's singular, dense, and varied. I'm honestly surprised that Max Payne has so many votes, and that's coming from someone who appreciates it.

That codec conversation is still mind-blowing. Maybe it's a case of not having been exposed to its ideas before MGS2, but, come on, that's easily in the ranking for most existentially terrifying dialogue in a video game. Soma levels of horror. Comparing Max Payne's story and dialogue to something like that is comparing apples and oranges.

Max Payne, i played 1 and 2, i enjoyed them back then, i've never played a MGS, so an easy choice really for me.
Ill repost what I said in a previous thread....
That Moment when you say to yourself.....
..."Wait a minute...that not Snakes voice"....
...."Wait no way are they making me play with this weiner"....
...a couple hrs later...
...."Well surely this is just a 1/4 of the game.... I mean most of it Im gonna play as Snake...right?"....
.....a couple more hrs go bye....
....."Im mean surely Kojima wouldnt falsely advertise like this? Thats illegal right? I bought Zone of Enders just for the demo dammit.....any minute now....."
.....late game cutscenes start...
....."I see what Kojima's doing. Hes got us all worried but theres bound to be a B game after this where you get to play through Snake's Big Shell storyline.....phew I feel better now...."
...a full year after beating game...
....."Awe you see its all about the Substinece edition thats when we get Snake's Big Shell Adventure......"
Copium 2001 Edition.
In fairness the opening cutscene of MGS2 is still unbeatable.

Tough call, but i think MGS2 is below MGS1 and MGS3, i like its OST and some bits of its story and gameplay, but i have fond memories of the first 2 Max Payne games, its close but i guess i will vote for Max Payne on this one, i would rate it slightly higher than MGS2.
But to be frank, i have foggy memories of both, i think my opinion can change on a replay, the last time i played these games are like 15 years ago, lol.
