Mafia II Thread

I think they could have done the car smashes/damage a bit better,you can be in a very fast head on smash and then look at the front of the car and it only has a slight dent...:D

Atm,im 50/50 to whether im actually going to buy the game. :cool:
 
Alright, just got done playing the Demo on the xbox 360, (yet to try on my system). The game seems rather... sluggish? Well, on the xbox 360, seems it was optimized to run at 25 fps. The movements aren't very responsive to the controller, im going to download the game on my computer and see what the game feels like at 30+ Fps.
 
Whats with everyone on the streets having guns?...you shoot someone and bam the whole neighborhood is after you :P

Heres what i Do/Dont like in the game demo so far,Mention yours....

Do Like:
  • Graphics :Looks stunning,Im shocked it can still look that good in DX9.
  • Car handling (cars feel old and heavy like they should)
  • Little extra features...may sound stupid,But i like the fact you can refill your car at the gas station and wash your car,Also the bars around the city you can go in.
  • You can Pay off/Bribe police

Dont like:
  • Car Damage...its the same all the time,you can have head on smash and hardly any damage other than a broken headlight.

  • Police are too accurate:When they're shooting at you during a car chase even if you are swerving all over the place to dodge the bullets they still manage to hit you.



I tried the countdown timer freeze as well,it works 100% :P

all the do likes are the same here, especially the cars. i do have one ULTRA LIKE: the music :D

for the don't likes, i do agree a little bit on the damage to the car, although it didn't seem like that big of a deal. never noticed the police thing though...
another don't is the fact that the swimming pools are empty :eek:
 
I'm really tempted to pre order....Mafia was and still is one of my favorite games of all time, this looks like a good sequel...
 
Nevakonaza (Car Damage...its the same all the time,you can have head on smash and hardly any damage other than a broken headlight ) dont forget in
the 1930's the cars were built of thick gauge metal and had chassis so you would not have the damage that you would have like we get in our tin cars of today.

Its not far from the house,..iirc you leave your house driveway turning left...then turn right at the next turn...then left again and its on that stretch of road somewhere....there's a couple of different ones ive seen,although you may have to use the Countdown timer fix to be able to have a good look around. :P

Yeah i understand that,But honestly thery are really too tough imo.

From what i can find out...They said the original damage system from ( Mafia I ), Had been scrapped.

And that they have a ( Scripted Location-Based Damage ) system now instead = (damage in the same places all the time)

They should have done it dynamic based damage which is alot more realistic.

yeah i was wondering why all the pools were empty,But we all know you cant go in the water on Mafia 2 so they probably left it out the pools for just that reason.

I think they have focused more on the missions more than anything,which is kind of disappointing because if anyones like me,I really like messing around and causing havoc in the city while not in a mission (GTA IV :D)

Exactly how do you do the timer freeze? I did the same thing as in the video and it didn't work. Am I missing something?

Type this into Google...

time freezer patch mafia 2

The download to the patch is in the first You tube vid....why the hell they didn't give you longer on the demo i don't know,because there's road blocks to stop you exploring further into the city so its still not giving too much away.

EDIT: also, those getting murdered when physx is enabled, especially in front of vito's house, try this fix. it will disable all clothing effects except for vito's, leaving eye-candy as well as DRASTICALLY improving frames ;)

EDIT 2: also, for those who get orgasms from the music like me, head over to here to get them for yourself :)

EDIT 3: i just keep finding more and more things for this game :P there is a way to get beyond the demo borders (although you can't go very far beyond them).
EDIT 4: now i can :) i'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Played the demo with the timer freeze, epic game! First thing i did was rob a gun store and go on a chase!

I like the fact that you die easily enough for it to be realistic, you can't take a shotgun blast to the face and live :P

This game is a must buy! when it comes out. last night you could preorder it for $44.99 but now it's back up to $79.99, i'm still getting it :D

have you done any of the other things besides the time stop? :D
 
I don't know whats going on but the demo has been crashing on my system after about 5 minutes of play. But either way I'm getting the full version the minute it comes out, can't wait.
 
Just hit tab to check the map. the garage is the wrench icon. I'm uploading a video of everything you can do in the demo as we speak, I'll post it when it's done. (about an hour to go... 256k upload speed is pitiful!)
