That's what is missing, blood!

Oh well, not a big thing for me. When I was younger, I use to get sick to my stomach after playing some first person shooters after awhile with all the killing and blood. While it doesn't effect me as much now, I don't miss that feeling one bit

Blood never bothered me when I was younger. Even in the extreme of Half Life 1 and Quake where people turn to gibbs. It still does not bother me today, unless it is real.

Seems there's more missing than blood; Mafia II Review: Smelling The Roses In A Life Lived Too Fast

Lionclaw · 08-23-10, 02:45 PM

Oh well, might get it when it hits the bargain bin...

Spike88 · 08-23-10, 02:47 PM

Well, time to go cancel my fully paid off preorder. And wait until this comes in cheaper.

Chad · 08-23-10, 05:48 PM

I'm still planning to pick my copy up straight up @ 9:00am tomorrow morning.

I'll let you guys know what I think

Spike88 · 08-23-10, 05:59 PM

I got Alan Wake instead, and then put the rest of my money towards GT5 CE.

I'll pick this up when Steam has it for sale at some point.

Chad · 08-23-10, 08:22 PM

For your 360 or PS3?

I'd love to play Wake on the PS3.

360. I have to get some use out of it.

When you get it, tell us if it was worth the current price tag. In my opinion 2k Czech dropped the ball. I still have faith in Bioshock Infinity, and Xcom though.

Mafia 2 drags way behind what Mafia 1 was. Shame.

Arclight · 08-26-10, 12:44 PM

Here's to hoping they just cut half the content so they can release it as DLC.

Melee weapons are in the demo if you use a lua script. They don't have proper animations or scripts but their there.

Arclight · 08-26-10, 02:18 PM

Heh, complaining about the full game mate.

I know they have at least 1 DLC lined up, but I hope that that is not the reason the game is so bloody short.

Dowly · 08-26-10, 02:36 PM

I wouldn't mind the shortness if the story was good, which it really isn't. It's very predictable and goes pretty much like Mafia 1.

M2 is the kind of sequel that is made to milk the success of the first game, not the kind that tries to top it.

EDIT:

Here's few things that tick me off in it.

Story is pretty vague and predictable as I mentioned already. Also, you don't get the sense of achievement as you did in Mafia 1.

Cops are idiots, you can smash lampposts and stuff right under they eyes and drift and all that, they don't mind. Also, here's an example from one mission: Two cars were chasing me with guys shooting my car with tommy guns and what not, I drove past police car, he didn't react. I slowed a bit and one of the chasing cars hit me, this got the cop's attention, but just because he wanted to arrest me for damaging another vehicle.

The next one shows how lazy they devs were. There's this redhead chick you see throughout the game in various cutscenes, do me a favor and see how many 'clones' of her you see while driving around the city. I managed to see atleast dozen of her in 100m while driving around.

The collectables (playboys in this case) are hidden IN the missions, not in the city like any sane dev would do.

Gameplay is good, I give them that and it looks pretty.

But, like I said, just an attempt to milk the success of Mafia 1.

EDIT2:

******SPOILER******SPOILER******SPOILER******SPOIL ER******SPOILER******SPOILER******SPOILER******

They even got the balls to have you and your mobster friend be the ones who kill Tommy Angelo in the end of Mafia 1.
