-I finished Mafia 2 long before I finished Mafia 1 and I loved it. But after playing Mafia 1 DE, I replayed Mafia 2 and the story felt worse than Mafia 1. -F***ing police. They are everywhere. -Stupid achievements like “drive 1000 miles”, “collect 150 posters”.
I remember it was fine when I played it 14 years ago. Not as good as the original, but quite enjoyable. The remaster is comically bugged though, at least on Xbox.
You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)
This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.
It’s an okay game, but far worse than the first two. They forced an open world onto it, and made it pretty repetitive. The DLC is more linear and feels a lot more like a typical Mafia story telling.
Oh man I remember the open-world obsession era. It’s still sort of with us, but a few companies are daring to stick with linear narratives that don’t allow as many branching paths, like Control or Alan Wake 2. Even non-linear narratives are being pulled off in non-open-world games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
The remake has much better gunplay and graphics, and overall has been ‘smoothed out’, but personally I think the new casting choices were unbelievably bad, and take all of the soul out of the game.
If you can get past the jank of the original (and get the community patch to add the old music back in), I personally think the original is the better game by far, but I was a huge fan of the original, so I’m biased.
I think the original has a better atmosphere, you have to drive between the missions instead of being teleported to the location, which inevitably works towards the immersion. But it also an early 00s game, sometimes it can feel too hard or frustrating. See it for yourself if that’s what you want.
