Well, I just finished the main story line, and I must say, I really liked it. I thought the story was pretty good, ending could've been a bit better but it seemed like a pretty mafia style ending so I was satisfied. I don't know why people are saying the game is unpolished, I was really impressed the whole way through. Honestly I have no idea why everyone is raging so hard at this game. Sure they cut a load of stuff out, but what I'm playing at the moment is long shot away from an "incomplete game".

It was a decent game but it could have been a great game had they not cut 60% of the game out.
Is it worth finishing Jimmy's Vendetta? It's too much like GTA style missions it really bores me.
Im thinking about purchasing this game for the Playstation 3, 3kb gave a good review, so did Zeitgeist.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;24742464]Im thinking about purchasing this game for the Playstation 3, 3kb gave a good review, so did Zeitgeist.[/QUOTE] PS3 has the worst version of the game, it's missing grass and blood, but I'm not telling you what to do, only suggesting that you research it more before deciding.
Oh man i want to punch a baby after playing the level where [sp]you kill derek[/sp] on hard, i started off with barely any ammo since i forgot to before i went to the docks but it wouldn't let me start from the very beginning of the mission, it took me about an hour but i finally got it done when i got in my car and stopped under the entrance gate, it tried to close but it flung me to the back of the warehouse so he couldn't throw molotovs at me.
nvm.............
[QUOTE=Pepi;24740746]I've got 1200watts total, but then I am running an HD5870 and a GTX470 in the same rig.[/QUOTE] Oh wow, you still don't need 1KW for that. More like 800 max.
[QUOTE=Legend286;24744170]Oh wow, you still don't need 1KW for that. More like 800 max.[/QUOTE] do you not even realize that both will never be utilized at the same time?
[QUOTE=Odellus;24744853]do you not even realize that both will never be utilized at the same time?[/QUOTE]Yes they are, the HD5870 is used for rendering, the GTX470 is used for PhysX, though the latter requires less power overall, but you have to consider peak power draw.

I have 1000W just to future proof it.

I thought the whole game was piss easy on hard. On that level just hide behind the crates, when he throws a molotov you run to the other crate, when he throws another you run back. easy.

Barnhouse, it's because the original script was 700 pages long, and the script for the current game is 350-400 pages long if I'm not mistaken. [sp]The original idea was that halfway into the game you could choose a family to work for until the end and so there would be several unique endings. Also there would be a lot of choices like whether or not to warn Leo that they're going to whack him, whether you kill Bruno as well, and so on, but these were really important to the plot, and while I do agree that I would choose pretty much what Vito chose all along, I would have loved to play the game again and this time act completely different, and I know it would feel like a playing a new game all over again.[/sp]
Argh, that would have been excellent. Would have also fixed the replayability issue as well.

I almost feel as if the title "Mafia" is misleading in the game. More like "Joe and I: Fucking Around II."

He murdered a made man along with about 20 other guys who more than likley where working for the same family you where. [editline]01:15PM[/editline] Adn what was with the stealth kills? You grab the guy for 5 seconds and he dies?

I am still very very very mad changeplayermodel doesn't work on any console I've tried, and m2dev doesn't work at all unless there has been an update of it in the past week I'm unaware of.
Yet another thread closed, this one was a vote to ask if they were wrong to put the other thread to off topic [url]http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85801[/url] I've always accepted that forums are not a democracy, but it's getting quite silly over there.
