Is anyone else getting "not found" errors when trying to watch the video? I've been refreshing for 10 minutes and nothing...

This is the first time I've seen this happen.
Happening on my end too.

It would be funny if some noob tech accidentally deleted the master copy of the review, and no one gets to see it ever again.

This also happened a few days ago for me with the Wolfenstein review. Perhaps the Escapist is saving on server costs by unplugging them some of the time..?

getting a missing stream error. any fix?
okay so it's not just me getting the error. Good to know.

I tried on all the videos they posted today but it's a no go. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

Oh wait, I get it. Yahtzee is saying Mafia II is a broken piece of shit and should not be played, hence the broken and unplayable link.

Very abstract but I dig it. Great review as always, Yahtz!

the sand box isnt a sand box its a city with nothing to do but steal cars and shoot people
Seriously? As in... That's it? No mini-games, no stunt jumps, no side-missions?

nope... all you got is your main story line and the ability to drive .... thats it.
you can steal cars and smash them in the junk yard for cash or rob stores, either way you probably get the police on you and then its an annoying situation where you either kill every one that sees you or drive away and have the cops on your tail then you need to go through the trouble of changing clothes again and again so police doesn't suspect you. there's like one ramp in the whole city where you can jump it but doesn't give you anything. that's all you do ... for hours drive back and forth between your house and the next job.

I think it should be mentioned that there are not just white people in the game. There are also black people who you only ever see shooting at you, getting beaten up by you, beating you up, buying drugs from you, or getting "comically" shot in the face for being too uppity.

I get that people could see there being some racism against Irish or even Italian people, but they basically have a respectable amount of power and come into these fights eyes open. The black people get shot or beaten up whether they attack you or not if they come up in the storyline, and the best they get off is buying heroin from you in a cutscene.

Racism is a pretty amazing force, isn't it?

with some points i agree.. but i thought the missions were good, and the story was awesome and very immersive..

But looses some points in the fact that there is almost none sidemissions and other crazy stuff to do.. Like in Saints Row 2..
And there is a lack of free roam unless you do it in a mission.. But as far as i've read, the Jimmy's vendetta DLC takes care of some of those points..
