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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Got dual core, or quad core?

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 :(

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
