<div class="IPBDescription">I just beat it...and I don't understand</div> Ok, so I just went through and beat Max Payne 1. I just barely found the CD for it that my friend gave me and it is playable only on my new computer so I couldn't play it a while back.


Ok, so going over the story...

Max's wife is killed by V-head junkies, along with the baby. Max transfers to the D.E.A. to work with Alec Balder and B.B. He works himself into the criminal underworld, trying to find the source of Valkyr. Fast forward to the Roscoe Street station. A bunch of people are breaking into the bank, to steal Aesir Corp stock stuff. Then Max goes to kill Jack Lupino, gets confronted by the Finito brothers, then he kills Rico Muerte and then at the Ragnarock club he kills Jack Lupino, meets Mona Sax, she betrays him slightly and he hallucinates. He gets free from the chair that he was tied to, after a confusing hallucination scene, and then he kills "Baseball Bat" thug person. From there he goes to kill Pucinello, getting lots of help from Vladimir Lem. He kills Boris Dime, stocks up on lots of weaponry, goes to the Pucinello restaurant, then goes to the Pucinello Manor, kills the Trio, then watches The Don get shot up by men in suits with Colt Commando's, then Max gets OD'ed on V. You see another crazy hallucination, then Max goes to the Cold Steel place, we find out about V, then he goes to the Asgard place, we find out about Nicole Horne, and then Max goes forth, kills Nicole Horne all the while with Alfred Woden's assurances that the charges would be dropped.


Ok, so do the V-junkies kill Michelle or did Max do it?

I'm confuserated.

    /me thinks it was the V-head junkies if I remember correctly.

    I just thought that scene where max was high on V was just him trippin' out - but I could be wrong.

    I lean towards the junkies as well. There's nothing to really suggest that the first level in Max's house is fake, and in that one, it was clearly the junkies.
    Now go play MP2.

    But you left out the part about how Maxes WIFE, was investigating V and the Horn women. In the Cold Steel place you find out that it was a millitary drug that Horn stole after the project was shut down, Maxes wife was close to uncovering the truth about V, Horne let the test subjects go in Maxe's house, knowing they would kill Maxes wife.

    Max has a vengence thing happening and joins the D.E.A. He than gets framed for murder and has to find out the answers to clear his name and get revenge on the ppl who had his wife killed!

    my version of the story:
    max is mad
    max has gun
    violence follows

    (it was the v-heads that killed max's family, and it was part of a test of the drug supposed to make you faster stronger stuff, made you crazy though)

    I won't repeat the part about the junkies, which everyone before me got right. I'll just add a quote from MP2: "Looking back, you see all the choices you didn't know you made, like staying late for work instead of going home to your family."
    The whole 'I killed my wife' deal is just the Max Pyane - typical melodramatic way of showing that Max blames himself for not being there to defend his family.

    Max Payne is my 2nd favorite game. HL being my favorite and most of that is because of all THE mod for HL, Natural-Selection ;-). I've beaten Max Payne three times (HL about 7 or 8, I know I'm a geek) and I'd love to beat it again. Slow motion dives just don't get old. I played the demo of MP2 and it was pretty cool. I'm getting the full version as soon as I get some $. The first time I played MP1 I missed the fact that his wife was killed because she was getting close to the truth about V. More of it made sense the second time I played it.

    Max killed his wife!!
    Actually, they were death a few days before the start of the game, those V-heads were just burglars.

    I'm pretty sure the killer is NOT V-Head Junkies or Max himself.
    It's mentioned in Max Payne 2 and while I'm confident I could
    browse the "Story-board" from my completed Max Payne 2 Save-Game
    and take a screenshot... that would undoubtly ruin a key element for
    someone currently playing Max Payne 2.

    The story isn;t nearly as complicated as all that, everything is pretty much as it seems when it comes to the V-junkies. They killed his wife, that's just the way it goes.
