Discussion 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.

The open world one to me is valid.

Except Mafia was never open world. It had some open world elements but was never an open world game until Mafia 3.

What do you mean Mafia was never open world?

Mafia 1 and 2 had an open world you could travel around, only difference to Mafia 3 is that it wasn't bloated with repetitive tasks.

Mafia 1 and 2 were linear, however they had an open world which focused on immersion over content. Same as LA Noire.

Why? Mafia isn't known for open world and when they tried it in Mafia III everyone complained. Also 2 out of 3 games prior were linear and the devs said it wouldn't be open world when the game was announced. I feel like that criticism would only be valid if it was marketed as open world, which it wasn't.

How you going to complain that there is no open world in a game that was announced from the beginning that it would not have open world?
