Mafia II (PS3/360)

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Very few actually, kind of how GTA IV was.

I also get the feeling this is an old demo, in fact I am convinced it is the demo from E3, so I'm sure there will be some additional polish.

Something funny, find a spot you can drive into the water (right behind your house is good) and drive into it. There is apparently no water physics in this game, your car will drive down the slope into the ocean kicking up dust underwater as it goes before the screen fades and you are spawned by the garage.

Since everybody is gushing over the game, I guess I'll be Debbie Downer here.

Nobody noticed how terrible the camera was? ESPECIALLY in the warehouse, I couldn't see anything without constantly spinning the clunky camera around.

And walking around interiors is way too difficult, since a push of the joystick to any direction sends him running.

Maybe it's an early build. There's a youtube video of this demo, and it says that it's an early build.

Once I inverted the y axis, none at all, just like the camera in every other game like this. You can also turn up the sensitivity, but these options aren't saved.

You do know that your stick is analog right?

That's good to know. It did seem a bit hard to control. Love the voice acting and the overall mood of the game. I will probably be picking it up.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

The time limit doesn't make sense since they have boundry's but you can just die and reset the timer. I played for 2 hours last night without stopping the demo.

So you get additional time EVERY time you die?

Doesn't change the fact that the control is annoying and not conducive to moving in cramped spaces.

When you're in a shootout, it's hard to concentrate on how hard you're pushing the stick, especially when it's so sensitive.

You must not play shooters then. The reticule isn't sensitive at all, it just feels sluggish to me.

No I play shooters a lot. I meant the left stick is too sensitive, in terms of sending him into a sprint whenever I nudged in any direction.

The right stick, for the camera, was sluggish.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Ahh my fault, I didn't read what you guys posted before and I thought you were stating the right analog was too sensitive. Anyways, is it not possible to punch a girl in this? I was trying to beat up everyone on the sidewalk, but he was just not swinging.

LOL...

This demo is owning my soul. I accidentally started the mission when a cop was chasing me and I wound up at the apartment. Nothing surprising as its what we've been seeing in gameplay vids. Still a blast to play.

You have to hold the left bumper to sprint. And you only run if you push it more than halfway. I think its very easy to wal in this game. If you play shooters at all, you should be able to push the joystick to any sensitivity you want and hold it effortlessly.

Every time you die, the demo restarts (you in the house with phone ringing), sometimes with 12:30 as the time limit for some reason.

I don't see how it's any more sensitive than any other game, and I had zero problems creeping around corners and whatnot. Felt like a very standard half walk, more than half run.

As for the right analog, change the sensitivity.

anyone get drunk yet? Pretty cool. Effects don't last very long though.
