Why is Max Payne 2 such a disappointment compared to the original?

I thought it was much better, and I only recently learned that I'm in the minority on this.

It felt like it took itself too seriously, which ruined a lot of the charm the first one had.

I loved the fuck out of it. Maybe expectations were exploded?

It's soulless

story is garbage, makes no sense and all characters are writen poorly.

the first game was a open and closed story that they decided to make into a saga because money.

It got too wacky. It's one thing to have overacting mafiosos. It's another to have an escort mission with a giant baseball mascot character, and a funhouse based on a TV mystery show. Like, yeah I get the reference to MP1, and it certainly broke up the pace. But it's not taking the right kind of piss.

Also, Sam Lake NEEDS to be Payne. This is not optional.

Soulless slop

Because Payne spends half the game simping over some bitch.

Max Payne 2 is the greatest video game ever made.

The sequel was better actually

Is this the Payne residence?
