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.

All mafia games have predictable stories and you’re delusional if you think otherwise, mobs are predictable in how they act and there’s only so many ways to tell a mob story

Thats just not true, I didnt see Sam’s betrayal coming 1/3rd through the game. And just because it’s a mon story doesnt mean it has to be a carbon copy of generic mob story #4, it is possible to atleast inject some creativity.

I mean, you don’t need to get defensive about it. If you think it was a good game then that’s good for you. I think it was mediocre at best and think they should just let the IP die and move on to something Else.

It was a spin off, imagine letting an IP die over a spin off hahaha 🤣 and it’s not defensive to have an opinion on mafia stories as a whole, I personally guessed all the betrayals before they happened, if you watch a lot of movies you’d realise just how rare it is for a story to not be predictable

[u/PromptStock5332 → u/JuggerSloth96]

I mean yeah it was a spin off.., and the game before it, Mafia 3, was so bad that it already ruined the IPs reputation to begin with. Following that up with just a marginally beter mediocre game is just not good.
