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.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
