Really, really considering picking this up for the PC, so curious to start hearing feedback once people play it. I have it coming for the 360 through Gamefly, but especially since I just got new graphic cards, I want something new to play on the PC.

GameSpot Score

8.5 great

The Good

  • Fantastic action set pieces
  • Shooting and hand-to-hand combat are both highly satisfying
  • Empire City is beautiful and stuffed with period detail
  • Brutal, involving story populated with interesting, well-acted characters.

The Bad

  • Not enough to do in the open world
  • Too much time spent on mundane tasks.

Destructiod rated the PS3 version the highest because of the exclusive content with a 7.5. It gave the PC and 360 versions 6.5 even though they both are graphically superior to the PS3 version

Extra content sure does make up for that missing grass and textures popping in and etc.

Infrequent and no save any time/quicksave leads to rewatched cutscenes (which you can skip) and the biggest annoyance re-driving to the location again.

I like when the checkpoint system is very cut-throat - Although, could do without skipping cutscenes every time.

Didn't Mafia 1 have a similar system?

Sethos likes games without save any time though :p

Exactly <3

Didn't Mafia 1 have a similar system?

I'm certain it does. I do remember a few fustrated moments where I got killed, then I hard to drive so many miles to the outskirts again to get to the action.

    • 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.
