Ha well since that post my son has managed to convince me to give the game one last try @RogerRoger. He really seemed to quite like it himself... He isn't being kind to the third though from what he's said š

Good on you that you managed to complete Medal Of Honor: European Assault I was just about to ask in the other thread about that.
I on the other hand have given up on Mafia II Definitive Edition for sure. Made it to the 50's and got near 50% completion now... and I just don't like any of it. š
So I played Mafia: DE last October and liked it quite a lot, am planning on playing 2 and 3 as well at some point. I know that Mafia was basically a āremakeā and Mafia 2 is hardly even a āremasterā but out of interest, what was so much worse about it?
Turns out my son didn't just borrow Mafia... But the whole Mafia Trilogy so I've given Mafia II:"Definitive" Edition a go.
Why is this game so damn big? It's 56GB... That's the biggest game on my PS4 (The biggest of my whole collection in fact bar DOOM 2016) and it's a barely touched up port of a PS3 game!
This is patched too and the performance isn't exactly great on my slim. The framerate isn't terrible slidshow levels or anything... But it stutters and dips enough in the open world whilst driving (I've even noticed it walking/running) for me to notice that it's not smooth.
The control scheme isn't all that great either but that's more due to it being 10 years old. The traffic AI is practically none existent too and they'll just happily crash into you unless you're blaring your horn.
Tommy wasn't exactly groundbreaking as a character but jeez Vito's like a plank of wood with how uninteresting he is... Even his voice actor sounds bored as all hell playing him and I'm really not invested in him or his story.
As for all the other characters? Not very likeable in the slightest. I think Joe does the voice of Phil (From Hercules) in Kingdom Hearts?. The cast of Mafia 1 weren't great people... But they had charm and good performances at least.
I've played up to chapter 5 and even with 25% of the game already beaten with just over 2 hours of playtime... I don't think I'll bother going any further.
There's what I'd previously wrote about it @colonelkilgore. I finished Mafia Definitive Edition for the first time a day or two before I started playing Mafia II.
There's honestly much more to add really. I had the game crash once today, noticed some more graphical glitches, a cutscene started to replay before it bootdd me to the next scene and the frame rate really tanked at one point.
The pace of the game feels off too like a lot of it was left on the cutting room floor and I really noticed how much driving there is. Plus like I already said about the story & characters and how I wasn't enjoying them even the missions that I went through didn't feel all that exciting or interesting either.
Personally I didn't think much of the soundtrack either (Not helping the fact was that I heard the one particilar song a good eight times or so that got on my nerves)
Fair enough, I definitely had lower expectations about 2 than 1 before I read your posts... and if anything they are now lower still. Iām hoping that the fact I will play them with a good bit of time in-between might help though, Iād imagine I wonāt get to 2 until late this year at the earliest... and 3 is so way off that I have no idea when Iāll get to it.
@PSVR_lover Remote play is a great feature that has improved massively over the lifetime of the PS4 and I use it frequently when I don't have access to the TV.
I am currently 40 hours in to Hollow Knight and now the game has clicked, I am utterly in love with it. Not sure I will do all the various boss challenges but tempted to go for the 112% completion.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
You're an absolute madman @Rudy_Manchego by just being tempted to go for the 112%
Glad to hear you're enjoying Hollow Knight though... Really can't wait for Silksong to finally release! I've rewatched that trailer they put out for it ages ago too many times š
Yeah playing them one after the other really was gonna colour my judgement somewhat especially with the different levels of care and attention they recieved @colonelkilgore.
Hopefully the game'll resonate with you more whenever you get round to trying it!

@Rudy_Manchego I am genuinely surprised the 112% completion trophy sits at over 1% for the game.
I utterly loved the game and did loads of it but the pantheons were beyond me and those are needed to get 112%.
A massive amount of internet kudos to you if you manage it but saying you're not sure about doing the boss challenges already means you probably won't get it.
@Thrillho Ah you are right - I had read that the 112% didn't need it but it looks like this is not the Voidheart version of the game on PS4. Oh well - not going to bother. Will be quite happy with finishing the game - I have read there is an additional boss after the Hollow Knight so will figure that out later.
Thanks for giving me the heads up! I won't be going for platoninum then! I think boss rush would break my enjoyment of the game. The boss fights are cool but I love the exploration more.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy As noted above - I am not a madman for the 112%, just someone who doesn't read trophy guides properly! I TAKE IT BACK!
That said, properly stoked for Silksong. I played the demo in 2019 at EGX and Hornet handles very differently so I think will be a really great sequel.

Just picked up Code Vein. Very fun so far. I like the partner system. The ability to change your class on the fly is unique as well. It is a bit easier then a souls game, but not by much. The bosses are tough but fair. I've only killed 3 bosses so my opinion could change. Nice purchase on the sale price.
Glad yourāe enjoying. I liked it but Iām yet to play a Souls-like I donāt like in fairness... having said that, Iād personally rate it somewhere in the lower half of all the Souls-likes available. The last boss (only spawns depending on certain actions you may have taken during your run) is a doozey though.
Think it was probably the Tower of Trials on top of all the multiple runs to obtain the various endings that soured the experience a little in the end.
Ha ha I haven't even done the normal Grim fight, the true final boss or the path of pain so there's no way in hell I'd ever attempt the platinum @Rudy_Manchego. The pantheons are pretty cool though.
Really need to replay Hollow Knight sometime. And you lucky duck getting to play a SilkSong demo!
Mafia III was actually the first time I'd heard of the series and I remember most of the reviews at the time saying that it felt a bit bloated with a load of similarish objectives to take down a district or something along the lines?
I won't say I'll never play it... But even with the chance to play it for free at the moment I'm all Mafia'd out for the time being.

@Rudy_Manchego@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You get NOTHING for the Path of Pain, other than a warm glow inside for doing it (and an incredibly short cutscene which you could just find on YouTube).
The ārealā final boss isnāt too difficult and doesnāt take much to get to (excluding the ultra version at the end of the pantheons). Nightmare King Grimm Iāve spoken about plenty of times before on here!
I'm back playing Code Vein after... 3 weeks or so?
Beat the Guilded Hunter. I tried a few times but I simply couldn't last long enough at lvl 10 in his second phase so I ended up bumping my character up to lvl 25 and switched to the "hedgehog" coat to deal more magic damage and finally got rid of him.
The next area The City Of Flames wasn't particularly fun... Quite annoying actually to navigate due to the hazards it had and one specific enemy that popped up here that was getting on my nerves š
I only lost to the next boss The Successor Of The Claw once though... Quite a fun one I thought. You'd think the teleporting attacks would get obnoxious but once you know the tell for it I actually find it quite fun (Like the Queen's Knight fight)
Also Yakuza 0 arrved today so I gave it a little go for an hour or so.
That combat system is really quite fun and I ended up doing six battles. The two scripted ones before Karaoke, the scripted fight to getting the second fighting style and then 3 random fights around Kamurocho.
Karaoke was a fun activity and I was intrigued by the main story set up so far too.
I look forward to playing it properly in a month or so's time!
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I really should get back to Code Vein but Iāve gotten seriously sucked into Dragon Quest XI S. I think the Gilded Hunter is the next boss for me though.
Ha ha I was more listing the Path Of Pain as one of the many things in the Hollow Knight that I couldn't do and how 112% is waaaaaay beneath me @Thrillho
But good to know none the less!
Having got back to it today I realised I was still actually ahead of you in Code Vein @nessisonett and that when you said you'd beaten the Successor Of The Breath in your last post I forgot that meant you'd only just beaten Nicola! (Who I think is absolutely precious) š
I've only played Dragon Quest VIII myself and... It was ok I guess? Yungus was the best thing about it I think
I'd say just ride out the DQ XI S train if you're that absorbed by it!
