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.

Some of them have valid / ok points but others are just hating for fun because they are bored like having no swimming , linear game , no open world etc ...

The linear complaint is weird to me, I played several open world games back to back before TOC so I was happy to have a game that just goes mission to mission with light exploration.

It's an easier to understand complaint from the lens that Mafia 2 had one of the most detailed open world and police systems I've ever seen.

Seriously though? There’s so many better games than Mafia 2 for police system, think just about GTA, RDR2… Maybe for that time, when Mafia 2 came out, possibly yeaah…

GTA isn't even close. Red Dead 2 is closer given how insane the balaclava system is, but I still don't think it's as interactive as Mafia 2's. What makes you say it's worse than the systems you mentioned?

In GTA V for example the police is so alive you can report a crime yourself and they will come to stop it! Same if you rob or become a menace. The one detail Mafia has that GTA don’t I think is the ticket you get for speeding, that’s definitely a nice touch!
