Reply To: Mafia II’s One Year Anniversary! Let’s Reflect This Day, As All The Lies 2K Told
Well Ruby you spoke volumes . Expessing your anger, our anger is natural. I realised that a game of the 2002 engine generation with poor graphics and possibilities made a huge success and a game of 2010 with a big and very developed engine ( it could have been better though ) managed to fail delivering the experience and feelings we lived by playing Mafia I. We all had plans for this game. Every interview with the game developers was just another dose of drug to me. When I first searched for trailers and pictures I said to my self ” this game is gonna become a best-seller, game of the year and a great sequel to the previous Mafia”. At last it turned out to be an utter failure , worth a few euros. But Ruby and everyone else you know what, the game has lost its glory but not the spirit. I am not going to say roam in the city carefully and slowly to appreciate the work implemented on it but take your time to realise the overall work . Of course you cannot keep doing this for ever and if there wasn’t any FR I would have probably forgot the game already.Lastly let’s stick to what is coming NOW: an FR, a JA FR ( credits to Existenz34) and a game development studio of Daniel which I hope will not disappoint us. Hence I think we don’t have to abandon Mafia II community while we are trying to bring back something lost ( 2K eggheads will always be morrons- just look at the other games they are publishing).I once made a list of things I want to see in a Mafia sequel ( obviously these are the things I was expecting in Mafia II but… anyway). I also sent an email to Daniel containing this list and his reply was something more than an approval but unfortunately back in 2009 he was bound to 2K

Lots of shops and public spaces with uniqueness , not just duplicates15. More people models ( if it is to go to jail again I won’t manage to stay calm watching only two guards witht their twin brothers)16. A smart NPC AI ( smart driving, pollite behaviour and no more of that ” you are in my personal space” crap)17. at last I want an expensive but good game and an honest attitude from those who promote the game. It’s not only to make people interested in the game but also prove them that you are saying the truth and you don’t just need them because of the profit.
