Dude, cleaning toilets was one button press in the entire game...Racecarlock said:Mafia II. In a world where even the most down to earth sandbox game, GTA IV, still ended with a mission where you chase down a mobster in a boat, firing rockets at him from a helicopter, Mafia II instead elects to have me clean toilets, bury bodies, sell cigarettes, have me driving around to various gas stations selling stolen stamps, and make me wait in traffic because hit and run or even speeding would just end up making me wait through a ticket or bribe animation. And no, good story does not excuse any of that for me. I have books and movies if I want a good story. I was told that mafia II would be an averagely good game. I was lied to. Cleaning toilets might be someone's ultimate video gaming fantasy, but it sure isn't mine.
It's the principle of the thing. Mafia II thought pressing a button to start a toilet cleaning animation 3 times would compete with the GTA series, which contains san andreas where you steal a military jet. Even if it's just pressing a button to watch animations, it's still pretty insulting that Mafia II thinks I would rather clean toilets than say, fight dragons in skyrim.WhyWasThat said:Dude, cleaning toilets was one button press in the entire game...Racecarlock said:Mafia II.

If you make the fact that your game features the black eyed peas a selling point then there's something seriously wrong with your game. I'll admit that I can happily play all kinds of shit but this was something else...
