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.

Mate, they gave you a shop to go and buy shit and didn't allow you to go to it for 90% of the game

They gave you a closet where you could get yourself looking proper, but didn't allow you to go to your own bloody apartment for 90% of the game.

The story is good. The graphics are decent. But the on rails bit absolutely ruined the game.

Putting this game in the same sentence as RDR2 or GTA is blasphemy.

That’s what I was thinking. There’s like, what, two or three times in the game you can pick your own weapons? Most missions almost always start at the villa, and I don’t remember how many times you can pick your own cars, but I know it’s not a lot. As you said though, still a very good story
