What does /v/ think of these games? I, personally, love them despite their flaws.
I found that scene in very well done in both games.
>Mafia 2
Missed opportunity: the game.
>>340948562
poor man's GTA
>>340948906
Honestly, I prefer them over GTA, I prefer the time period more story driven style, so.
mafia was good
we'll never know how good mafia 2 was since they cut 80% of the game
>>340948562
>flaws
well, first one was pretty much flawless. i don't think any game managed to top mafia 1 story+storytelling
>b-but gameplay
gameplay was fine when it got released, it just aged
>>340948562
Much the same, Mafia 2 was a flawed game with a lot of good ideas. Also, playing the section of the game where it's Winter is maximum comfy.
>ywn play uncut Mafia II like the devs intended
>>340948906
Nothing like GTA. It's essentially a linear story-driven series set in a sandbox for atmospheric purposes.
I played 3 missions of Mafia 2
I've never been so bored with a game in my life. watch a cutscene, shoot this guy, watch another, drive here, drive there, shoot this guy, drive here, cutscene.
You think I was gonna play a whole fucking game of that? I ran around and shot cops for an hour or so and then uninstalled
>>340949621
The only flaw I found with it is that i felt the ending would've worked better if Sam and Paulie's roles were switched. Idk why, but I feel it would've had more fan impact that way
>>340949992
>watch a cutscene, shoot this guy, watch another, drive here, drive there, shoot this guy, drive here, cutscene
hmm? You played GTA4?
>>340949962
>>ywn play uncut Mafia II like the devs intended
Is there a site showing all the stuff that didn't make the final game?
>>340950115
Didn't finish that one either
>>340949706
The winter section was great
>>340949992
But it's so much more than that! The atmosphere, the period, the story, music, characters, they all exceed all sorts of standards
>>340949706
>>340950668
>Winter is maximum comfy.
I tried to make that part last as long as possible.
>>340950898
Sometimes I'd just drive around aimlessly with the radio on, it was so atmospheric
>>340948562
Huh. I'm playing through 2 right now again for the first time in a few years. It's coming over fresh and I'm enjoying it enough. What's all this about cut content?
>>340951091
Just look it up, the game's still great, but there was a ton of shit cut from it.
I enjoyed mafia 2
it had its memorable set pieces and characters.>that one mission with the red convertible and the assassinationthey purposely made it a long as drive, slowly throwing in ques of what was going to happen. By the time you showed up to the street, everyone that played mafia 1 already figured out what was happeninghope they do the same thing in mafia 3 at the very least, but probably not.
>>340951826
That would be so great. Especially if it's when we find out what happened to Joe.
>>340951091
>What's all this about cut content?
the game as we know had about 15 chapters.
the real game was going to have over 150 missions.
>>340952430
It would great if they released a remastered version with at least some of said cut content. Id buy that

Read 'em and weep.
old mafia games suck like adam sessler siad since they have no cultural diversity and dont show how important the role of african americans were.
>>340948562
I liked M2. Mostly since it looked really fucking good, but it also had some memorable moments and a really good bromance.
Never played the first one since I was 8 at its release and never got too it at a later time.
>That entire shift in the game when it goes from winter to spring
I cant think of many games that do that much of a shift
>>340954157
You can find it free online really easily, trust me, it's worth the search
>The fbi agent getting hacked to death with meat cleavers
>>340954473
His fuckin screams were the thing of nightmares
>>340954426
Maybe at a later time.
Got Gothic 2 and Fallout 2 on my "old games" backlog for the year.
>>340955784
I still have to get around to the earlier fallouts, but there are so many other games I wanna play right now that that's gonna be s challenge
>>340948906
Honestly, it is more like a mix of GTA and Yakuza.

>bait in 1080p
>it isn't 1080p
>>340953323
This is depressing.
Mafia 2 with Godfather 2 gameplay would be somewhat better
>>340956401
The first one was so short and surprisingly easy so it's not much of an investment. Compared to games like Baldur's Gate 2 it's actually casual as fuck.
>>340957883
I'll have to give it a try
>>340957750
That's what Mafia 3 seems like desu
>>340958328
Do it. You won't regret it.
>>340958584
Don't know about that, don't care too much about Mafia 3 after Joe's ded
>>340959310
I'm so pumped. I can't wait to see what they do with Vito without his other half.
