Tell me you haven’t played a Mafia game without saying it. He describes it as a “movie game,” which is the entire point. You’re experiencing the story from that perspective. Why that is a bad thing nowadays, you got me. Of course, MindsEye is a bad example of a that style of game going wrong.

I think I will take the opinion of quite literally anybody else in this thread over you specifically, especially considering your dogshit opinions in other threads.
I doubt you played the original, let alone finished it, so you're the one to talk what Mafia "is or isn't". At the end of the day, in a cinematic game it all comes down to writing and story, and I somehow doubt from what I heard that this game has anything that made the series up to this point special.

I’ve completed Mafia: DE and Mafia 2. For what they are as cinematic games, they do their job fine enough. Of course, I’ve gotten both games at heavy discounts so I was fine with the linear means of driving the story along.

Definitive Edition plays nothing like the original game and even the sequel was already being consolized. So no, you don't know what the game "should be like". I doubt we will ever get a game like the original again, people simply don't have that kind of attention span anymore and want immediate gratification and a dopamine rush. DE is a perfect example, with the game being much more action focused than the first one, and the story/writing suffering for it. These days, I'm thinking a "cinematic game" for your average player will be absolute unwatchable and unplayable slop like Last of Us 2, in which case Griffin is 100% right.

Half the niggas in this thread haven’t played a Mafia game before.
I’ve played literally every Mafia game except this one. If it’s anything like 1 or 2, I’m sold.

*Played the dogshit port of 1 on PS2, so you haven't actually played it
Kind of like how dogshit your opinions on any RPG are because to you, Skyrim is a good definition of an "RPG" because you're a raging casual tourist, but I digress.

No, this game won't be any better than the first two. In fact, I suspect it might just be slightly worse than 3 depending on how dogshit the writing is, but I guess I will have to look further into it. Times have changed since the release of 3 and 2 and even the original game, so a "cinematic experience" means something completely different both gameplay and storywise. I hope it is not a blatant GTA/Red Dead Redemption clone.

what happened to mafia:las vegas?

Leadership within Hanger 13 under 2K went through restructuring after Mafia III. Basically, 2K briefly gave H13 two choices: Mafia IV or a new IP. H13 decided on a new IP, but that didn't materialize, along with Mafia IV. (The Old Country is NOT Mafia IV.) Licensing costs with music for the 70s Vegas setting would've been massive, so 2K has H13 under a budget. Hence The Old Country being a prequel (origin story?) to see if interest is still there for Mafia.
 
The "people" defending the new game speak and express themselves with the same arguments and excuses, like, the very same writing style as the kcd2 shills, they seem like clones or something.
Do all shill fags doing damage control cope the same way?
"If you don't like it, do it yourself" "It's always been that way" "It's a small project we must support it" "at least it's not 70usd" "The important part about theae kind of games is the story" "If you don't like cinematic experiences, you're a codplayer"
Like man, have some self-respect; it's a product not a selfless work of charity.

You can ethnically cleanse the city of Haitians and hand the whole thing over to either the Irish, the Italians, or both. I sometimes think I'm the only racist who actually played this game and knows this hilarious detail. It would certainly explain why nobody else seems to understand that the game actually had great driving and solid stealth/combat systems. Nigger protagonist scared them all off, I guess, even though they all probably loved San Andreas as kids.

Is that why his black buck is explo(ded)ited in almost every ending but(t) one?

I think it's less insidious than that and it's easier to say they're just retarded console tourists who have ADHD and would never be able to finish the original on PC without throwing a temper tantrum for it being "too slow" or "too hard" or whatever. KCD2 was much worse cause it outed actual KCD1 fans as corpse licking cucks who have no problem with their game(or their culture, for that matter) being shat on by a jew. Funny how we come full circle, considering that Vavra was involved with Mafia at the start.
is the game really getting shilled this hard? Devs must be desperate, lmfao

I just find it curious that despite being almost slavjank, the first Mafia was interesting, not just an interactive movie, a game with its own complex mechanics, especially driving, there are even details that are still not common today and that the demake simplified, it just seems that with each new game it became more casual, mainstream and scripted.
Police behavior, lack of train, dogs, simplified vehicles and vehicle damage, inability to aim while crouching, inventory changes, unnecessary story changes, restricted ability to shoot from the vehicle, not real extreme free mode or free mode at all, no gas stations...

Well, they don't need these features if they want the casualized console audience, now do they?
Mafia really was ahead of it's time, and despite it being unfairly compared to GTA, I don't think we've really seen anything like it since. It is a better Godfather game than the actual Godfather ones made by EA. All that these modern console games can be, even going as far back as Mafia 2, is to be a poor man's Grand Theft Auto, or I guess Red Dead Redemption in the case of Old Country? I still have to do my research on the game, not really interested in it at this very moment.
 
The only good thing about Mafia The Old Country is the story, it's pretty compelling and we rarely see what the actual Sicilian mafia was like, it's always just the Italian-American mafia that gets explored in media. The game itself is just the same dime a dozen by the numbers modern focus group AAA slop that gets shat out by Snoy dev studios by the truckload. You're better off saving that $50 for an actual game and just experiencing the story of The Old Country by watching someone else play it on Youtube.

It's so jarring too because she has to be rescued at multiple times in the story and then suddenly in the ending she turns on her GirlBoss powers. The other gripe I have with the story is that while it has the usual 3 acts like the other games do, where the 1st act is being a nobody, 2nd act is becoming somebody and the 3rd act showing how the life of a career criminal is not worth the short-term gains that the MC experiences in the 2nd act, in The Old Country the 3rd act just suddenly happens and it's not set up nearly as well as the first game or how it is in 2.

That's not really woke by itself, it depends on how the story goes and if the character is a stereotypical girl boss. I remember they did that with the Definitive Edition, what's her face becomes a lot more "strong and independent" even tho it just makes her look like a bitch. They made quite a few characters have a complete change in personality actually, this is why I would recommend the original even if the gameplay is antiquated by today's standards.

I guess I will have to look into if there is any serious girl boss power. From what you're describing, the game might just be an unfinished mess with an incomplete third act like Baldur's Gate 3.
