Mafia II: Definitive Edition

Too many bugs and the game crashes constantly. its a real shame cause what i did get to play was pretty awesome.

In regard of the game. I really like it. I played it on the hard difficulty, with the option of a simulate the car handling. In regards of driving + shooting mechanics, I didn't love them, I justo tolerate them. In regards of the shooting, I really prefer the Mafia 1 DE mechanics, they feel way more comfortable. Aside from that I really like them. Now abaout the story, there are 15 chapters (at least in the main game) and from chapter 1 to 10, I really enjoy the story, bur from 11 to 15, I really thinks that its get very rushed. Now talking about the remaster... I didn't see the bugs that a lot of people have mention, but I have suffer from a lot of them. As far as I know, this (inluding the original console version) are the same version that before, with the same bugs and features, so you can play this I suppose. But I don't think this is a good port.

Globalement un bon jeu dans l'univers de la MAFIA (avec ses clichés), même si je le trouve moins bon que le premier. Image. - Le jeu a bénéficié d'un bon coup de polish qui nous donne un résultat très propre. Cela dit, la version "Director's cut" était déjà belle. - Cinématiques et animations sont très correctes. - Malheureusement il y a encore du clipping, mais plus embêtant, il y a pas mal de bugs graphiques (plus que dans le jeu original) pour ma part mineurs heureusement; mais c'est tout de même aberrant pour un jeu retravaillé. - "PhysX" de "Nvidia", une fois activé, provoque toujours des bugs chez bon nombre de joueurs. - Même avec une configuration haut de gamme, le jeu nous donne des lags réguliers (sérieux !?). Gameplay. - Le gameplay est très peu changé, il est toujours efficace autant au clavier/souris qu'à la manette. Audio. - La bande-son fait plaisir, entre les musiques d'époque et la narration faite par un doublage en Français; c'est tout bon. Mais le doublage peut bugger parfois ... Contenu. - Il y a quelques collectables pour qui aime ce principe. - Un assez bon nombre de choix en matière d'armes, de voitures (qui peuvent être customisées) et de vêtements. - Trois DLC plutôt sympa, même si le troisième est vraiment le meilleur, mais avec un système de points qui pour moi n'a rien à faire là (à chacun de voir). Bref. Un bon jeu dans l'ensemble, mais non sans défauts. Alors oui, il est bien plus beau que l'original, mais avec des concessions non négligeables. Pour ma part je suis mitigé. C'est certes un bon jeu, mais au vu des bugs, le travail de refonte graphique ne fait pas honneur à la franchise MAFIA.

Buggy and repetitive. Mission are always the same, the history is something that you expect, enemies snipe you with shotguns from really far away, its just annoying and repetitive to make the missions over and over again because you died from a shotgun sniper, and there is no user save, only the game saves when you arrive at a certain point, which is generally illogical and will make you redo things over and over again since its too far away from the last save, and the probability of been sniped by a shotgun is too high.

Major improvement over the Mafia I system, for sure. A lot smoother controls and gorgeous graphics. There are some glitches though, but my overall experience was not ruined or anything. I don't why get all the complaints here. Gameplay-wise, although the police system is very smart, it's unrealistic how there's a cop car in every corner. And the gunfights defy belief in that the amount of bad guys is just wave after wave of guys with Thompsons that would make any crime massacre in history look like a street mugging. The game would be less arcade-ish if they made you less of a damage sponge while decreasing the amount of bad guys significantly. That's pretty much the same beef I had with LA Noire's combat too. It's just insane. By the way, gameplay-wise Mafia II and LA Noire are very much the same, and also both set in post-war America. While in LA Noire you're a detective, In Mafia II you are obviously the bad guy going GTA.
