Though I'm still having a hard time following exactly how you love a game you hate, concerning mafia II...
Yeah, I see your point. I always thought it would be a sandbox game, it really isn't.Woodsey said:

OT: I can see how that would annoy you, but making you hate it? That's... confusing me.
And how the hell do you mafia somebody?
Ah well, it's not like you're the only one. Reviewers have been marking it down for being linear and a rubbish sandbox (when it's supposed to be linear, and not be a sandbox...); and these are people who're getting paid to review games, so you'd think they'd have the ability to check out some developer interviews in which they tell everyone they're making a linear game, not a sandbox.Funkiest Monkey said:
Not exactly, he explained that while he loved everything about it, he was annoyed at certain aspects.Judgement101 said:
I'm afraid this is about correct... deal with it, or learn to mod it or something. A game wouldn't be fun if you had super weapons at your disposal.The Jakeinator said:
Except that the half life series only does this once, at the start of each game.Ultratwinkie said:
According to this guy, mafia II does it every mission.
Bit different really.
Linear, narrative-driven game with an open world. Not a sandbox game. Definitely not a stab at trying to be GTA in the 50s.Onyx Oblivion said:
Once you beat the story in Alan Wake it's boring as hell, but that's because it's a linear, narrative-driven game (minus an open-world).
It doesn't. There are points in the story where they're taken away, but most of the time you'll go through a string of missions where you carry the weapons over. And since there's plenty of gunshops you should have enough cash to go and buy your favourites again anyway. Or err... you know, you could just rob them. I always feel kind of bad when I do that though.Funkysandwich said:
Indeed.Woodsey said:
I, personally, am not faulting the game for that in any way. Speaking of which, Alan Wake was originally going to be open world, but they canned it. You can clearly see signs of it throughout the game, though.
But many reviewers, and gamers, are complaining about the boredom of the open world in Mafia 2. I plan to pick it up in September to fill the gap between Reach and Vanquish.
You're just upset that you can't cope with the lifestyle. That's what happens when you join the Mafia and you have to deal with whatever challenge comes your way.
There's actually loads of shortcomings in the game. The fact you change your house and lose your money/weapons every 5 minutes is one of them. You know how games like Splinter Cell have a prison level? Well this is like that except it's every other mission.
The problem's that money/weapons start having no meaning whatsoever in the game. You never go to the weapons shop to get weapons because whenever you see a bad guy with a weapon he has maximum ammo when you kill him so you get them very easily and getting anything special like molotovs/grenades is pointless cause you're just gonna lose them right around the corner.
The city's also small, pointless and there's no free roam (or even any point in it). The first Mafia game was a sandbox with an excellent story, the second is a story built on cliches just dumped in a sandbox environment. It's a good bit of fun, but a huge disappointment on the whole and a very short experience.

Yeah, I've tried it, and while enjoyable is not a sandbox game and is not trying to be, it's just suffering under the assumption that all games where you play a guy climbing up the ladder of a crime syndicate have to be GTA clones.
It's far more story based, so if you don't like plot, characterisation and cut scenes, I'd avoid, but I think it's looking pretty damned good!
It also hasn't felt too much like 'drive somewhere kill someone drive somewhere else' yet.
I will give the critics that it totally fails to be any good as an open world game, and I'd also like to hammer Portal as being a completely shitty baseball sim.

Half life 2 takes your weapons away more than just at the start of the game.
Like at the end of the game. In the citadel.
Anyway, as people said before, if you expected to play GTA:50's style, yeah you're not going to like it.
And after a while playing you're swimming in money, but that happens in most of these type of games.
And there's nothing wrong with car handling. Maybe there's something wrong with your ability to drive in games?

Yeah, and when it takes away your weapons at the end of the game, it gives you one of the best guns in gaming history! Why would you want to use other guns?oliveira8 said:
