So who's getting Mafia The Old Country?
Mafia: The Old Country, Mindseye, The Matrix Awakens, Matrix World, and other games still don't steal vehicles, nor are there chases, or are wanted. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 haven't yet become open-world games like Driver, GTA, Bully, 171, The Getaway, Cyberpunk 2077, and others. News on the internet suggests that upcoming releases of new games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, CS, Tomb Raider, Dune, Resident Evil, and others will become open-world games. Resident Evil 9 and other games will also become open-world games. Other games continue to exist within the same genre.
Does anyone know where I can please get Need for Speed Unbound PC, The Crew PC and all DLCs, The Crew Wild Run PC and all DLCs, The Crew 2 PC and all DLCs, The Crew Motorfest PC and all DLCs, deliver at all costs PC savegame reset, everything unlocked, trainer, trainer menu?
Doesn’t really catch my eye the name does another mafia game ! But idk this one is pretty mid doesn’t really feel like a mafia game feels like im playing rdr2
Imagine actually stating other reviews in your fucking title of your own..
Is there a chance that you'll deviate?
Nope. Not at all.
Instant dislike
Game is not bad at all people complain about anything nowadays.
Too easy too short too boring but then again it was good n I liked it lol should’ve been a 35$ game honestly n I hope these studios go back to big open world games with lots of options things to collect n do side missions big maps upgrade trees skill trees quest markers at least u get your moneys worth
The only disappointment for me is no I fought the law
50 USD is 76 AUD, but it sells in the Steam Store for $89. As usual, we are being scammed in Australia
Don’t watch this video: The game is mid.
I am disappointed to hear how short it is and it's not fully open world, I was kinda hoping for RDR2 but with the Mafia
I will probably wait for it to be at least 50% off
I’ve never bought a mafia game for full price and am very glad about that. M1 and M2 were great games worth about $20 each. Vavra is a genius story teller. He left, and M3 was soulless. I won’t buy this game until it’s 50% off
My mom is getting this for me for my birthday
Pretty boring
I'd have rather had a 100 hour monster but we can't have everything in life I suppose.
Take two's mandatory terms of service and privacy policy user agreement along with game will not respect your English only settings
( similar to Far Cry 6) not off to a good start.
I wait about year or so to bay it in the sales or wait to next April when it’s cheaper
6 months give it a few weeks it will be in sales nothing but a buggy mess same old shit
🌑➕🖤
– The movement feels worse then many old games.
– The riding is tedious – rdr2 wins by miles here.
– The knife fighting is boring/easy and with very few animations, and all the good parts of a melee fight are scripted.
– The shooting is horrible – straight out horrible.
– The game has no gore or setting to allow it.
– The surrounding world is static, with little to no interaction/damage.
– The stealth is generic, copied from the last fifty 3rd person games without anything new.
– There is no dialouge options or "greet"/"antagonize" system to engage with npc´s.
Mafia: the old country, dont have anything that you cannot find better in another game, and that also includes the lack of options in the settings.
The 10 hour story is no problem if it felt good, just played mafia 1 remastered and loved it..
I nearly purchased this game, but I changed my mind in the last minute.l rather wait for GTA 6 and play Battlefield 6 Beta for free in the mean time on PC 🙂
It's what Mafia 1 and 2 fans have asked for for years now. The only people that aren't particularly happy with it are people that are new to the series and thought it was "GTA Mafia."
