Definitely deserved. I’ve played it for 10+ hours so far and it’s such an improvement on the already excellent first game. It even runs much better on the same hardware.
None so far but the first game ran great with Proton. Since the engine is still the same and there’s no DRM or anticheat, I’m pretty sure this one will run great as well.
The first game didn’t even run at a stable 60FPS on high settings on my trusty RTX3060. There was almost no noticeable difference to medium though, so I’ll stick with that.
Control is such a gorgeous game. One of the few games that I 100%ed in recent years. The gameplay loop is insanely fun but it did get a bit repetitive towards the end.
I’m a huge OG Mafia fan as well (I even ran the “official” Subreddit). I thought the sequels and the remake were pretty good with the exception of Mafia 3. It was a solid game by itself but not really as part of this series IMO.
Fair enough, but the dpad on the 360 one was an improvement compared to the one from the Duke.
I was mostly ranking them in regards to general ergonomics. The Xbox One controller just feels more “slippery”, the 360 had a better feel to it, probably because the handles were more rounded.
Yeah, that’s the one. The Original Xbox Duke and the X360 controller are the GOATs imo. The Xbox One controller is also fairly decent but it took a while to get used to it.
It’d be cool if controllers could just be adjustable size
True, especially in width. I remember being extremely disappointed when I bought a PS3 and could barely play it because the joysticks so close together that my thumbs were constantly touching. I think the total amount of hours played on this system was somewhere in the double digits. Biggest waste of money of my gaming career.
It looks like the inbred cousin of the Xbox “Duke” that ended up being surprisingly ergonomical. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely hope it’s something close to that. Most controllers are too small for me.
