Max Payne 3 NYM Hardcore Glitchless% Speedrun - Laundry Day Max (44:26)
46What a crazy run. I had been playing Max Payne 3 for four hours straight prior to this. The ordinary concerns of life ceased to matter to me as the clock struck 2:30 am. It is to suffice to say that I was tired, but rational thought left my mind as the same bright flashing images popped out of the screen saying "HEADSHOT BONUS" or screaming murder of insignificant pixels. I had a bomb ticking in my head. No amount of painkillers would disable it. James McCaffrey's voice and the intense in-game soundtrack yet again guided me through a unfortunate series of misfires just to get buried by bad rng in my attempt no. 30 of the night. So, I took a little break, turned off the music and promised myself I've gotta end it after this attempt. I went in with the attitude that I've at least gotta play the first 3 chapters well. And so I did an almost perfect start with a PB chapter 1 by 0.1 s and by the large disco hall part in chapter 2 it was 0.6 s faster than my pb time. After that tiredness kicked in, you can see it in my gameplay, but it didn't diminish my seemingly never-ending (not really, taking a break now) enjoyment of the game. I still had some fuel in the tank and it was enough to get to chapter 7, then I took a 20 minute breather. Some ice cold juice and nice cold water to the face helped me re-gain track somewhat. Then this happened: 49:07 I skipped the cutscene too early. The enemies don't always spawn at the same locations fyi. But this time I was lucky enough to get their invisible carcasses without a timeloss. So I trudged on and by the end of chapter 12 I was 45 seconds behind my pb time and 2 min 3 s behind my sum of best chapter times. Then, in an instant it's like the cold water finally got me awakened enough and I played the final 2 chapters properly. I had no clue what my time was, the last time I checked the timer was at the end of Chapter 7, I had very low hopes of PB, but I got it by 0.5 seconds. That's why you've always gotta believe in yourself.
