Re: game-related pet peeves

I haven't played Mafia, but I'm guessing from your comment I'm not missing much? (At least in regards to #1.)

IDK if you play Assassin's Creed but controlling Leonardo's flying machine was the worst thing ever, omg.

oh my god it is so fucking bad. the graphics are bad. the car physics are bad. the voice acting is bad. the animations are bad. the gunplay is bad. the AI is bad. the ambience is bad. the sounds are bad. and, up until "election campaign" the story was pretty bad too. and it made me sick of django reinhardt and that's bad.

i get that the game is over 10 years old but there's no excuse for it being that ugly, having a city that lifeless (i felt like i was driving through a soundstage rather than an actual city) when GTA3 came out the year before and successfully managed to make you feel like you were in a living, breathing city.

and sure you can argue that car handling was pretty bad back in the 1920s, but that doesn't mean my damn jalopy should go sailing end-over-end to land on the overhead rail tracks just because i drove over a broken fire hydrant. it's like driving a skateboard with balloons for wheels.

lmao. Not that I had any desire to play it before, but I somehow have less desire after reading this comment. It's so bad it's hilarious, I guess? Fun to watch on youtube and lol over?

there's a lot of people who got angry at mafia 2 for not being mafia 1 but as far as i'm concerned that's a good thing. mafia 2 is fucking amazing, even if the city is still a little lifeless (better than LA noire's though) and there's not much to do. it's not GTA, but it doesn't need to be.

the bonus part is you don't really have to have played mafia 1 to understand the story -- there's all of exactly one plot thread from mafia 1 that shows up in mafia 2 and it's snipped rather messily.

actually one of my favourite things about mafia 2 -- and this is such a minor detail but it really brings the game to life for me -- the first part of the game is set in winter 1945 and when you're driving around the city, if you drive long enough (or spend time on the expressway loop) your car starts to frost over with snow. it's really amazing to watch.

your car starts to frost over with snow

Small details like that can really immerse you in the game world.

Re: game-related pet peeves

[dethtoll]

absolutely.

i never did finish that game, though. i'm going to go back to it soon, i swear.

Re: game-related pet peeves

[elaminator]

I have a few myself I keep saying I'm going to complete and don't. :/

I hope you finally finish it.
