Mafia 2

I was going to buy this game, having second thoughts now.

From what little I've seen and read, I'll pass too...

I'll just wait a few years for the price to drop. ;)

People found lots of scrapped content in the game files, the game would have been mind blowing, unfortunetly they had to wrap it up in a hurry :( .

You don't even have to dig through game files to find missing content.

I've translated this video from a presentation held one year ago. Now I'm told this mission is not even there at all?

What a shame. I'm still waiting for a free-roaming sandbox game that takes place during the 1970s. ;)

My 70's was a free roaming sandbox game, it was pretty sweet.

I enjoyed it alot, granted it didnt quiete live up to the first but yer i did have some enjoyable moments with it, the ending was pritty good, carrying on from the second.

The game is good, just not worth the price.

I've been playing the demo of it on steam, quite fun. Im probably going to buy it once its cheaper. And/or when I get a upgraded comp.

Im going to buy the game after the first patch, as I always do with games nowadays. The 1.0 releases are never fun to play. the first MAFIA was the best game I can remeber having ever played...but lacked replayability...once played there is no way to have the fun back...as with all storytelling games. It was more like a truely interactive Movie with you as the main character. A pitty that there was not enought place on the backyard at salieris bar for my car collection...I even kept the two hearses you found in the game for "special deliveries".

Don't attribute it to stupidity. It's a sound business model when executed properly.

You'll get the rest of the game via DLCs.

Well i pre ordered the game because its Mafia and the demo seemed ok.. and im regreting it now. The first Mafia was linear but it was really good, this one is still linear but its a fucking joke, the story is mediocre at best, the missions are far from memorable and it all feels slapped together in a hurry.

Well, doesn't we often say the same about ArmA or OA ? I think this is a dilemma with all game designer...ideas are running out an the "audience" is becoming more and more pretentious. But It's not nice to read your statement. I had hopes of a experience like the original Mafia.

Arma and OA are editable war games... Mafia's value lied solely in the story, narrative, missions and how perfectly everything was put together, like a playable movie.

Mafia 2 feels like bits are missing here and there, the story flow and progression is bad and the characters dont develop, the missions are ordinary too, where the first ones were memorable.

2k murdered this game after 2008 (when Illusion became 2k czech).

I know Illusion was set to make another classic..

Not if you have a bunch of 2k managers making the decisions for you.

Need i say more

it looks very promising ...

the trailer is catching the feel of living city quite nice

[PuFu 4600]

seems it is aimed for consoles though, i am not sure it will ever hit PCs

from Ables post on KH forums:

L.A. Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noir period of the late 1940’s.

L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming.

No release date however this was on TB's front page ...

We’re looking to expand our Animation Team to cope with the final production phase of L.A. Noire.
