To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Max Payne. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Max's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Max Payne truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Max's existencial catchphrase "Time moves forward and nothing changes," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Houser's genius unfolds itself on their game screens. What fools… how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Max Payne tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

shadow the hedgehog had the perfect mood and atmossphere. the dark, seriousness was half of what made it my favourite "sonic" game
More like, if you consider a real non casual gamer you should get the concept already that games aren't " just for fun " – gezz, that even feels like your mom's oppinion on videogames, not the guy who knows them and play them – i mean, they're technically " just games " yeah but it seems who ever chosse this topic is forgetting the fact that the industry atm is triying to portray VideoGames as a digital form of art and that there's a sector which likes that sort of stuff while playing and being part of the gaming community. There's nothing wrong in approaching kinda deep RL issues or reflexions on games. By this video logic it's like saying it's bad to have serious books when there's a fuckton of FairyTales, AdventureGames and ComicBooks for other readers, also by this logic then you should of put FireWatch, Stanley Parable and TLOU – yeah yeah, fictional fungus zombie outbreak i know, but that's besides the point – so just no, those games were awesome.
Shadow the hedgehog was the badass game
No one cares about what you say about "Shadow the Hedgehog"! It will still be one of my favorite PS2 games!
Here, have a dislike for May Payne 3.
I never liked playing shadow the hedgehog thats for sure.
Shadow the Hedgehog I can understand even though having some memories with it. Max Payne shouldn’t even be on the list. Should’ve replaced it with LA Noire. Cole Phelps is bland and boring AF.
If you like the character Shadow the Hedgehog — a black-and-red hedgehog with a Glock and roller skates who says "damn" a lot — reevaluate everything about your life.
This video is wack AF
You shouldv waited until they release Sonic Forces.
What's wrong with a story being depressing and Edgy? Why does it have to have some sort of pick-me-up for the audience?
I'm sorry, but Shadow the Hedgehog was amazing. disliked the video
I actually liked ghosts
D E S T R O Y T H E B L A C K C R E A T U R E S, S H A D O W!
Spoiler Tumbnail
Sure, while watchdogs did have a serious tone, the characters, the story, and graphics + Gameplay, ALL Make up for it
Shadow was fucking awesome
I enjoyed "Assassin's Creed 3," "Watch Dogs," and "The Darkness."
One thing I hate about cod is the way the reloads are to fast, even in the first games. Of you've ever operated a firearm, you can't just slap your gun.
Max Payne series is AWSOME!
Mojo needs to play the first two to understand where he cones from.
But you gotta admit, Shadow the Hedgehog's got a pretty good OST.
Goddammit! I LOVE Shadow the Hedgehog! I still have that game, and I use to play it all the time when I came home from work delivery newspapers before sunrise & grabbing Tim Hurtons for Breakfast.
Loved COD:Ghosts. Fight me! ??
Was it just me or did those shadow scenes remind me of Vegeta from DBZ just his attitude
I ironically liked Shadow The Hedgehog.
blasts linkin park
I loved shadow the hedgehog as a kid and I still do, it was really fun to play but damn you're right
agree with Assassin's Creed
ran out of video ideas watchmojo? loool
So Edgy
I can feel the sarcasm with every bit of word he says throughout the video lol
Shadow the Hedgehog Has His Own Game so Seriously He is not only a most powerful, But Edgiest Character as well Edgiest Hedgehog of all Hedgehogs.
The Game that He is Seriously Search for The 4th Chaos Emerald in Desperation or……… No matter what.
There are Multiple Endings And Extra….. A true Ending That Obtained in The Last Way. Some Endings Are Dark, Heroic, Neutral or Sad. The Darkest Scenario is Shadow was Allied with Black Arms and going to Destroy "That DAMN planet". The Neutral Scenario is whete He Betray Eggman To Prove He is The Android Better than Original or Allied with Omega and take over the Eggman Empire. The Best Heroic Scenario is Where After Shadow And Sonic defeats Black Doom to prove He Will Finish Black Arms and Black Doom said "The Black Arms will Rise Again".
Depending on Shadow's Actions, His Main Goal is Recover his Memories.

The witness' position on this list isn't real. That didn't happen. People can take it too seriously if they look for answers that aren't there but the idea that the game takes itself too seriously is like saying 2001: a space odyssey wasn't funny enough. It's just not a legitimate criticism if you're aware of what it's supposed to be/what it is.
The witness is a puzzle game. The story is you're on an island with a bunch of puzzles. There's nothing to be taken too seriously here.
The game is an artistic statement yes, but it doesn't need to earn it. It offers everything up to the player and the player can take it or leave it
I remember everyone hating watch dogs for being so edgy and depressing. Then everyone hated the uplifting for losing its edgy and depressing theme. You just cant win
Isn't nt AC3 set in the Civil War and not the Revolutionary War?
Shadow the Hedgehog was a great game. It doesn't deserve to be that high on the list or on it in general. I'm thinking this is just hate towards the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
I'm just going to say it breathes in and out WHERE'S THAT DAMN FOURTH CHAOS EMERALD
note to game creators: for watchmojo (TROLLMOJO for the friends) games have to have a story like La casa de la Risa (the house of laughter) because seriousness equals over the top game, thank goodness videogame companies prefier to create the stories they like not the ones a youtube channel is suggesting
Assassin creed 3 and shadow tge hedgehog are amazing games. Especially shadow
