I haven't tried again yet...lol. I will try again later today. I've just been busy with some things, but I want to get back into this game.
I ran around to collect all the items like bullets, flashlight batteries, and medicines to make sure I had enough then I kept :bustback:, aiming at his head for maximum damage. Everytime he gets up close to create some distance, dodge, or blast a flashlight on him then :bustback:

Get him down 4 times, and you win.

The dude who plays Alex Casey looks like the first Max Payne on PS2

As others have told you, the first two Max Payne were made by Remedy and the Lead guy is Sam Lake who lent his likeness (Grimaced face) to the first game.
Unfortunately, Rockstar/Taketwo swapped it out for another actor in the guise of 'wanting it to be taken seriously' but ultimately they wanted a more solid grip on the character, hence why they were allowed to take Max Payne 3 in the direction they took it in, without much (Or any) input from Remedy/Sam Lake and if I'm not mistaken, they pretty much own it now, if they didn't already.

However, Sam has always hinted from the early years of Remedy that any game outside of Max Payne that he makes would be tied to a universe that he'd like to create and Alan Lake 2 is basically that Multiverse, tying Control/Max Payne/Quantom Break into one loosely tied word....which is awesome if you're a fan of his/remedy's games.

The more I play I’m starting to believe AW2 takes place before Control, maybe around the time the Director had his “issue”

Haven't played Control fully but my bro has and he's reporting back to me on the shyts. I just like the fact that Lake got to do what he wanted to do with these games since alot of people wanted to write 'em off for Quantum as well as Alan Wake 1, which wasn't as acclaimed by everyone when it first came out. I'm real eager to play the shyts myself and see it all unfold.​

Finally beat the fukking Alan Wake Subway part chapter cause this shyt can be annoying where you have to figure out where to go, especially having to use light-switching to get the right place to go seems hit and miss and the story boarding where you're hoping it'll complete. I fukked with this game but I actually really enjoy the initial chapter with Saga more than Alan

Just finished this. Really good ride.

I still have questions and I'm guessing some answers will be dlc. I won't ask those questions because they may be spoilerish, so I'm just gonna say I can't wait till the dlc to get more info.
