    You mentioned that you would like better more realistic driving like in the first one but there is an option in Options you just change driving physics from Normal to Simulation.

    You can make the cars feel more "boaty" and realistic in both this game and Mafia 3 by enabling simulation handling in the options menu.
    It makes cars feel heavier, make it so the brakes lock up with way less effort and lowers traction drastically (easily seen during the prologue for joe's adventure when you drive on the frozen lake).
    To anyone going to playthrough either of the two games, I'd recommend enabling it.

    U said u wanted multiple paths, multiple endings, etc. I respect your opinion but not every game has to be an RPG. The devs wanted to tell one well-defined story and not a story where the outcomes are variable. That would make u feel u can affect the game but the story would suffer or the flow would be hampered IMO.

Im not sure if the game ever tells you you can but you can rob them like any other store hell I remember pulling heists to rob the highend clothing shop.

And I actually admire that because someone made more than just a few streets and the environment feels more alive because of this. But i miss Extreme freeride in M2, it was fun.

    Great game, I couldn't get enough of it: loved the evolving environments, taunt storyline, and the emotion of the characters just simmering below the surface (well, Joe pretty much said whatever was on his mind, but everyone else in the game mostly kept their emotions to themselves). The friendship between Vito & Joe is another strong point for me, and I felt the radio stations in both time periods were enjoyable. It's more of a linear/open world hybrid, but that's fine, and throughout my playthroughs the way I made money was crushing cars, an activity I never did get sick of:-).

    Mafia 2 is a great game, but it could have been so much better. It's a shame that they didn't get to complete it, and I wish that they would've added more features in the remaster.

    If you treat mafia games like more a linear instead of an openworld game you will have a much better time enjoying it, it's not really a sandbox openworld with sidetracking minigames or any sort of wealth bar that you fill up and more of the environment just adding to the setting/landmarks and the immersion it provides through the games story

    I felt the same as the reviewer here. I think the experience wasn't nearly as satisfying as the first game.
    Mafia 1 was a game I kept coming back to. Whereas once I completed the story on Mafia 2, I wasn't drawn back to it at all. It was fine but underwhelming.
    Mafia 3 had more of the same issues I had with 2.
    In my mind, the sequels never built on the promise of that first experience. I had a feeling that it was a cult game that just needed more development and and better leadership to become a great one. That just never happened.

    After playing main chapters of the game and having liked it, you can hardly play and enjoy the DLCs and these are most of the reasons why:
    - Lack of cutscenes which were staple for main game. Mission starts with briefing screen and ends at a marked point 'safe zone' with a scoreboard
    - Story missions are two to three, the rest are side missions which are arcade-ish: with a timer, system of scores
    - There's hardly any mission where there is any set of dialogue
    - There's always a feeling that these DLCs were done in more rush than main game
    - I am trying The Betrayal of Jimmy right now on hard difficulty. The only hard thing I am finding is the eternal presence of cops. So not only I have to fight the enemies but to guard my back as well, which is annoying.

    Game doesn't have 12 endings or 500 side mission on purpose, i think. It is very story oriented. For example i think developer could easily implement dynamic day and night cycles in game, but everything is fixed for a purpose to tell a story. Vito comes home at nigh in winter, godfellas drive to cathouse at evening etc. every chapter season and day cycle has its story purpose setting. It's like a visual interactive novel. I think it is obvious and criticize for it is kinda not understanding the game design.

    A lot of things were dropped from the game, time wasn't a friend and with a few mods that unlock abandoned features/places, you can really tell how much they wanted it to be amazing.
    I have to say though, for its age, it looks fantastic and it runs great on even low end hardware (SLI and CrossFire support is there too and shows excellent scaling), they really worked hard on that engine (shame on Bethesda). The atmosphere is the strongest point, it sucks you in and once you've played it a couple of times, you keep going back for more. It's truly an emotional roller coaster.

    Sad thing is, a lot of this game have just been cut. Story, activities, weapons, characters,...
    For example Sicily were supposed to be whole island (or town) with 7 different missions, winter were supposed to be in later game, not right in 40's, your mother were supposed to be alive much longer (acording to christmas trailer), you were supposed to know a lot of memers not just your family, but others, and not just breefly, your sistr's husband were supposed to be part of that life (judging by one of old trailers), side characters like Charlie (car repair shop owner), other side characters were supposed to give you side missions (Guseppe, Harry, Burski and Derek), you were supposed to be able to buy and decorate your houses not be given by the story,and list goes on and on and on.
    Lack of mele weapons that have beed completely developed, they just didn't implemented them in the end.
    Side activities like betting on dogs, races in hot rods, fight club,....
    Missing metro (underground), usable city busses, taxis,...
    Dan Vavra left the studio, when T2 started to changing his story - And another person simplyfied it to its bones later. makes me sad until today. It is shame, that Definite edition of that game was made by some random japanese studio, insted of whatever remained from old Illusion Softworks. They should took this oportunity to finaly finish this game to its original plans. (BTW Dan had already finnished his scritp for Mafia 3, they just throw to the garbage and never used)

    Can't wait for you to review Mafia 3, please don't skip over the DLC since it's now forever free with the game basically making it part of the canon for good now. It really helps with taking a break from the repetitiveness.

    Mafia 2 certainly has problems but it has an excellent story, beautifully realized 1940s-50s time periods, and the shooting mechanics may not be all that original they are certainly fun. Mafia 3 has best combat in the series though. I wonder if colourshed will review Mafia 3 and the Definitive edition of Mafia 1? By the way Joe's Adventures is set during the time Vito was in prison not when he was serving in WW2.

    I mean yes the gameplay itself by all means wasn't innovative or outstanding, but when I focused on the main story, the game has a great variety of locations with different feelings to them, different and uniquie characters, and a really good story. Combined with the different weapons and cars ingame I never got bored of it while playing.
    Joe's DLC was a great addition storywise and the two DLCs about Jimmy just gave you more of what you already had. Though the Jimmy DLCs were the ones who got repetetive and kind of boring, but I liked the story there aswell.

    I have only gotten one ticket throughout my whole first gameplay. Very immersed that I actually stop, get out for the cops to give me that ticket. I like driving like a normal person in this game thanks to the limiter. I also put a limit on myself for guns used, favourite weapon is the 1911. Unless the story make it necessary, I bring my grease gun for it’s concealability.

    Imo, this game was just okay when I first played it. The story was good, but never considered it great. I honestly found the gameplay loop boring with the cover shooting lacking in feedback. I might be wrong, but that's how I remember it. Everyone in the comments loves it, but I'm here like which game did I miss lol

    When you are on a mission with any character just get into your car and leave them behind because eventually they will appear in your car and start talking to you like nothing happened. I don't know if they fixed it in the PS4 remaster.

    Mafia 2 was still one of the best games (especially with the DLC packs) for the Xbox 360 that I ever played.
    They honestly messed up with mafia 3. The missions in that game were incredibly repetitive and with the tremendous amount of glitches and bugs (at least on the Xbox One version) it was trash.

  • @MrPrajitura
    @MrPrajitura 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would argue that a cover system just caters to casuals. In all honesty, Mafia I was light years ahead of GTA at the time, at least when it comes to face models, and overall textures. Also, I loved the quirky Mafia I controls, having the right-click as a USE control was pretty intuitive and user-friendly, and yes, while the lack of cover system was probably a limitation of the hardware, or heck that it hadn't still become a thing, I feel like it added to the game's difficulty, but in a good sense.

    I played mafia 1 about a decade ago and really enjoyed it, but I at stopped playing at some point during my playthrough and was never compelled to touch it again. As for mafia 2, I also played it nearly a decade ago, sometime after messing with GTA 4, and I really enjoyed the game, enough to beat it... The map is vary small for it`s time, and there isn`t much to do outside of the story, but I still got alot of mileage out of the game (and it`s DLC, particularly Jimmy`s vandetta), and I distinctly remember feeling really sorry for the protagonist (blanking on the name...), by the end of the game.

  • @hotwire96
    @hotwire96 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got this game only a few months ago and couldn't agree more. My main criticism is the game just felt like going from mission to mission, without any time to really explore the game outside of the main storyline. No opportunity to bask in the success you got half way through, no time to reflect on what could have been near the end. Just get up, phone call, off I go.

  • @antonhallergren588

    People can say whatever they want. Mafia 1 and de are better than mafia 2. Mafia 2 is a good game, it's a solid 7/10 but mafia is a great game say an 8/10 but mafia definitive edition is a say a 9.5/10 imo.

    While i can't say Mafia 2 may be, that good, i can safely say that i could playtrough it any time i want without dropping it, its a game that, at least makes you want to play it each time you run it, even if its bit shallow.
