I got image in my head for years.
>Free mode
>City center
>I'm trying to steal car
>Tram goes by
And I remember it as realistic as possible. After years (could be 10 or something) I tried, went to same space, saw ugly as hell graphic but my brain still tried to convience me it looked good.

games really are going backward
Mafia is what you get when the developers make a game they themselves wanted to play.
It has a very realistic car handling model, and even though it was never a selling point it has driving wheel support, including force feedback.
Just driving around and weaving trough the narrow streets in one of the old trucks is a ton of fun with a Logitech wheel.

That's just Ubisoft being incompetent. WatchDogs was inferior to GTA IV too.

Imagine a time-line in which Nintendo kept making actual game consoles, with a strong focus on Nintendohard games.
H-Hey, T-Tommy. You're r-reading this in my v-voice.

OH FUCK..also, that ending scene

Just felt that feel.
This thread reminded me of it and how it was a game I definitely wanted to play, and I figured it would be dirt cheap. :^(

I wasn't aware they'd removed it. Weird.
Mafia 2 was a good game. Open world left a lot to be desired but the gameplay and story were great. Collectable Playboy pictures too.
