Here Be Media - Episode 34 - Max Payne 3: How Hate can Erode Quality
Episode description
Hello everyone!!
As a logical continuation of Leon's writings on Rockstar and GTA, we both revisited a game (not a franchise, mind you), which enrages and frustrates us both Max Payne 3.
In a game where you relentlessly shoot poor brown and black people and play the "American Hero" cop, we dive into what this game does with this setup and what it doesn't believe in. For as Leon put it before, there is little it believes but pure raw Hatred.
Obviously, we have to talk about it, from the terrible representation and use of Brazil, to the awfulness and pointlessness of this game more broadly.
Join us as we start a serious dive into "bad games" and how they can be objectively terrible, enjoy!
