The words "rich" and "poor" are too spicy for gamers

    Max Payne 3 explicitly talks about "right-wingers"? Maybe I should check it out, idk what it's about though, I thought the first one was amazing but didn't get into the sequel

      You kill hundreds of Brazilian right-wing paramilitaries and SWAT guys in MP3 (also tons of poor brown favela gangsters).

      spoiler

      MP2 is also really good and I recommend checking it out.

      The plot is weird. After years of serving capital and murdering hundreds of people, somehow Max suddenly realizes that's actually a bad thing and he should be fighting the people he fought for previously. But then he remembers he likes money, so he only half commits.

      Still a fun game, would recommend.

        i think a main part about Max is that he's so addled with PTSD and addictions that he frankly doesn't care about anything anymore. He's long since dissociated. He knows he should care about things, but doesn't. The games only kinda sorta bring this up as a flaw.

      If I remember right, the main villain is explicitly called a fascist at least once and it's an accurate descriptor.
