I swear it’s all I’ve been seeing.

Don’t get me wrong, the game ain’t perfect but I’m not letting small imperfections ruin my entire experience.

I said it once and I’ll say it again. The driving is peak.

The story meets the standard for the Mafia series so y’know, it’s good.

The shooting is really good and yes it is better than all the other mafia games and also better than RDR2 and GTA V.

How is it better? Well, first of all, when it comes to shooting in RDR2, as the player, you don’t really feel the weight of the gun you are shooting.

Basically in RDR2 and GTA, it just feels like you’re shootings airsoft guns but mafia: the old country actually feels more realistic and I feel more immersed when it comes to gunplay and I don’t doubt other games also have better gunplay than Mafia: the old country but, I can’t speak on those because I haven’t played them.

To be fair, nobody, not even me, should be comparing Mafia the old country to other games outside of the Mafia series.

This isn’t me being ignorant also. The games has flaws. I definitely think it holds the game back to an extent but then again, consider the fact that this isn’t another Mindseye or Ubisoft game or activision game… and it does what it what all mafia games set out to do? Then you can’t complain too much.

I wouldn’t say the shooting mechanics are better than in RDR2, but for the sake of the Mafia series itself, it’s best not to compare the two. Rockstar is a massive company, and it's simply not a fair comparison. Doing so only opens the door for people to start judging Mafia against RDR2 in every other aspect, which isn't reasonable

That said, my only real "problem" with TOC is that the story’s way too short, which honestly just shows how good it is. The ending’s pretty weak, though. And it’s not like the writers didn’t know what they were doing. It just feels like the last chapter has a bunch of plot holes and loose ends that the rest of the game didn’t have. Kinda seems like they had to rush it and just wrap things up, probably because of budget issues or something

I think its funny seeing everyone praise RDR2 shooting in this sub because every time I praise it anywhere else people say it's awful. "Realism isn't fun" and all that

Personally I like the shooting in both games. Anything other than arcadey gunplay is good for me
