Mafia II (PS3/360)

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Uhhhg, playing on hard difficulty, and had to replay part of a mission over and over until I had a fast car spawn. Not sure if it was a bug, or if it was because I my garage was full and I had just jacked a car, but after I failed the first time, it never respawned my car. Can someone please post the Chapter the part my spoiler is in, to make sure that others playing on hard difficulty have a fast car, from their garage, for it?

Spoiler

It's the part where you have to Warn Leo. Need a fast car to make it to Leos and break the gate down to get into his house.

I literally played through that part like 20 times, because I was bound and determined to prove I could do it with 'any' car. Needless to say, the game won on that front, and I had to restart the mission until a fast car with an open top (convertible) spawned. It had to be an open top so I didn't burn time picking the lock.

Spoiler

Go right outside the bar and turn right. The first car there (Atleast for me) was a fast enough car to make it there. Dont pick lock! Reason I know this is I kept on failing the mission as well. Not because my car was not fast but because I kept wrecking.

Also does anyone else use the speed limiter as a brake for turns...I do it all the time.....lol.

I use the speed limiter to cut my speeding down when I see cops, works pretty well.


Anyone know if anything can be done if you lose your DLC car during a mission? It doesn't seem to be popping up in my garage. Stinks because I just spend a few grand upgrading its engine and such.

I do that too, seems to work better than brakes for turns.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I also use speed limiter for braking.

A question about Derek

Spoiler

Since one of the achievements is tied his exporting cars for you and since in Chapter 14 you kill the hell out of him, can you still take cars there or do you have to load an earlier chapter and do it then?

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I guess I should clarify. I didn't want to waste time picking the lock or breaking the window. If it's a convertible, Vito will jump right in. The car that spawns there is random. Sometimes it's a fast one, other times it's a dirt slow one. Was hoping if you had one from your garage that you didn't have to use the randomly spawned one.

I use B to turn corners at fast speed (that's what it's meant to do), and only use the Speed Limiter when I'm on a mission talking with someone so I don't trigger a cop alert. I was using A to turn until I learned out to use B on the fast turns, now I like B more.

I maintain more control when I use the speed limiter.

Anyway, I just finished the game. I really enjoyed the story in this game and the whole atmosphere.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Okay, this thread sold me. I picked up Mafia II for 360 yesterday and made it to Chapter 3...having a grand ol' time.

I HATE the GTA games, but really enjoyed The Godfather. This is, to me, a nice evolution from The Godfather, and I most definitely enjoy more linear-style gameplay to totally open-world. I guess I just prefer more story driven games.

The driving is WAY better than the driving in The Godfather (I like the speed governor), I like the hand to hand fighting fine, shooting (what little I've done so far) is good, GREAT graphics and atmosphere, excellent audio and voice acting.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I'm honestly loving this game. I keep telling myself I'm gonna get to the side missions, but the story keeps pulling me in. I know immediately as I beat it I'm never gonna play it again, though. That's usually how I am with these types of games (no multiplayer).

What side missions...?

I shouldn't say side missions. I mean delivering cars and getting money, or going to the car crusher and getting money. I don't know what those are called.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

You really only do those for achievements though.

What did you guys think of the shading in this game? I thought the graphics were fine except the shading looked more like cross-hatching than actual "shade" if you guys know what I mean.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

not digging the game.

So far it's 90% driving and I don't like the driving, so I stopped playing (rental).

This game could have came out like 2 years ago or more. It seems like they were pimping it on xbl like 4 years ago. I should have known better though, I had a feeling it wouldn't be up my alley and I rented it anyway.

Behind Shenmue 2, Mafia on the PC is my favorite game. I played through that game more than a few times. Tommy Angelo, Pauli, Don Salieri were great characters. I really thought they should have continued that storyline with Mafia 2. I still will rent Mafia 2, but I doubt it will measure up to the first Mafia.

How good does your computer have to be to run Mafia 1?

90% driving? Really? Sure, that's a good portion of it, but that's going to be true in any sandbox based game as you always have to get to point A from point B in a chapter/mission. At least the driving is far more fun than GTAIV, which had the worst driving of any open world game this gen. Driving a car in GTAIV was like driving a boat.
