* DeconReconSwitch: 3, in its entirety, is a deconstruction of Max himself. In 1 and 2, Max was a hardened, cool-as-ice badass, whose family's death drove to become a [[TheBerserker Berserker]], BulletTime-using Badass who wades into battles with little more than a few guns and painkillers, yet somehow manages to survive. 3, however, makes Max's constant suffering more than a plot point, makes him fat and old, and moves him into a setting where his gung-ho "shoot first ask questions later" attitude gets him into even further trouble. Max feels legitimate grief for killing all the people across the games, and several of the bad situations he gets into, (mainly [[spoiler:the deaths of Marcelo, Fabiana and the mobster boss's son]]) could have been avoided entirely if Max had simply stopped and calmed down. Likewise, his copious use of painkillers, due to them being the health packs, left him addicted to them. The whole of 3 basically takes Max and shows the audience that being Max would fucking ''suck.'' However, towards the end of 3, the story begins to show that despite Max's attitude and choices getting others killed, he can actually work for the betterment of others by exposing [[spoiler:the organ harvesting ring]] and that all the people he kills are pretty shitty people, and were killed in self-defense. Max also gets over his self-pity and realizes that despite all the shit he has gone through, he can still move on and live with his life.
