Mafia II

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

just bought the collectors edition hard copy.

first PC game i have bought in ages.. come think of it, the only games for pc i bought were "captain comic" "heretic" "hexen" "quake" "black and white" "half life 2" and this one. (maybe more, but i did not remember)

normally, i pay only for console games.... since i dont play PC much, and after downloading the game (pirated) i delete it in few days, with less then 2-3 hours gameplay.... since i do not like it too much.

however, this one seems a must for a PC, and i played the first one for free. I wanted to reward the producers by buying this one.

I think under-hype is what a game needs. Over-hype is the worst kind of hype you can get it.

this.

PC Version. but with that said...

Well the first Mafia (on PC) was a masterpiece. (one of the rare examples of video games i would use that word with)

it was (and still is) my best single player gaming experience to date. (i first played Mafia back when it was new in Aug 2002)

you actually FELT something when you completed it which basically no other games managed to do to date. i must have replayed the first Mafia at least 10+ times and i am being conservative.

because Mafia is like a quality (mob) film, it never gets old ;) (it's got the story/characters/quality gameplay. it's a unique video game experience. Mafia is in a class of it's own)

p.s. for the record... i liked the GTA games as i beat them all but i would still choose the original Mafia game (on PC) over ANY of the GTA games to date. so in other words... GTA can't hold a candle to the Mafia series in the long run.

I'm changing my mind lol, I'm gonna get this game on my PC and put my QUAD phenom II with my 5850 video card to work. Thanks for all the pro PC responses ::

More like the 12th. When they decide to let people download the demo according to the US time zones, it will be already the 11th in GMT+ time zones and then the servers gonna be raped and it will take a day to download.

CE PC

My i7 930 OC with 6GB RAM and 5870 should do the trick.

I really hope the demo doesn't disappoint, else I might have to kill myself :laugh:

[Sethos]

It's on steam now, for anyone interested;

Just played the demo ;), it was great. It ran smoothly on my old PC so optimization looks good.

Man, it's good to be wrong this time. Still early in the 10th, and the servers aren't raped as I expected.

Only six minutes remained to see how well the game runs on my machine and how detailed the world is.

Got dual core, or quad core?

Got dual core, or quad core?

Athlon 64 X2 4000+, 2GB of ram, ATI Radeon 4850 512 mb, Win 7 pro, so yes, a dual core ;)

[Victor Rambo]

Will it work on Pentium 4 3Ghz? :shifty:

[Lingwo]

Just downloading it now.

I have no worries it will run on my rig as i only recently built it, with a money is no object budget :laugh:

Hopefully it is better optimized than the original as that was known for its, poor performance and bugs.

Dling the 360 demo just now :heart:

[Jimmy0]

Just downloading the PS3 and PC demo now, hopefully it will help me decide which version to get. :)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Just finished this on the PC. Looks rather stunning and runs at a perma 60 frames. Tempted to buy it but at only 7-8 hours. I can't justify it.

Yet you bought starcrap and played that for a few hours, tsk :'(

Whom ever did the first review.

Blizzard own the rights to my wallet though.

[Briandl79]

Didn't know it had already been reviewed.

[Windows7even]

Downloaded..played..loved...feels like a more refined gta...will be a great game for consoles as the controls are simplistic.

Does anyone know where I can get the CE edition for the PC in the UK? Nowhere seems to have it, Game, Play, ShopTo, HMV, Gamestation etc :(

Should have my new PC built by next week, just in time for this game, costing me ?1,400 to build it though :(
