Reply To: Mafia II’s One Year Anniversary! Let’s Reflect This Day, As All The Lies 2K Told

I so agree with you all.After following news each day, seeing many pictures and trailers I was sure that Mafia II would be the game of the year and an equal follower of my favourite game Mafia I.The demo was told to be very unfinished, which calmed my scepticism. After I had finished the mission in the distillery (being trapped by the police on the bridge) I really wondered how it would continue (-> they just cut it).Although there were first signs in gaming magazines that the game wasn’t as good as it seemed, I was obsessed of getting to play it. But actually playing the few monotone missions, realising they had cut lots of stuff made me really feel quite sad.The gameplaytrailers partly showed the kind of non-stopping excitement and suspense that Mafia I had, the great transitions and story.I really looked out for the guy who gets an electric shock, because Vito turns on the light, while he repairs the electrics. Many more tiny details that I can’t recall didn’t appear. But I though the great modding community would “repair” the game. As we now all know this is just possible white great difficulties and only very limited. At least FreeRide is back.The DLC’s are the worst part. I even would have paid twice as much, but for a complete and finished game. In my opinion they can’t bring back anything that’s missing. In addition if you buy, let’s say a car, you wont just end up getting the tires and a door and be forced to buy the rest in “DLC’s”. That’s why I took part in a few petitions, but never though they will change anything.I actually bought a steering-wheel for Mafia II, because they had announced to support them. They also mentioned that the player could fly out of the car window in a crash… and there’s plenty more.The sad thing is that so much is there, somewhere stuck in the files, but we’ll probably not be able to play it.
