mafia!
 

anyone playing mafia? omg... its the best game... sooo much better than gta3. im stuck on the second whiskey mission right now... i get down to 5 life and get shot on the bottom level... or sam keeps dieing.

plot of the game:

you are telling your story to a cop because you want out of the mafia. you basicaly act out the last 8 years of your life. you do all sorts of random missions for don saliari from racing a car... to importing whiskey. i must say... this game got me hooked more than any computer game lately (diablo 2 excluded) i give it 4.5 stars.... beware.. it sometimes lags up on my 2.4gHz 256mb DDR ram(266mhz) i'd recommend 512ram+

Yup, I have that game. Haven't played it much though.

the missions are great... the first few are kinda slow and dumb... when your the taxi driver... but it gets real addicting real fast

Yeah, I think I'll start playing that again tomorrow. Last final's at noon, so I'm ready for Christmas break!!!

I may have to check it out.:yes:

The graphics are killer... you need a pretty high end machine if you want to crank them up.

Also, even if you legitly buy the game like I did, a NOCD crack makes it run faster.

Web site link?

I played gta3 for like 2 weeks straight... that game is AWESOME...

I was borowing the ps2 so.... looks like no mafia for me.

yeah.. if i wana run high quality graphics, i need to reboot first.

You dont think a 64M Radeon DDR card would run okay on a 1.9GHz P4 with 256M of RAM?

ive got a 2.4ghz p4 with 256 ddr and a 64mb graphics card and cant run at high detail very well.

My dear boy, I think we need a little more memory.. ;)

I would like to get a 128MB video card some day too. :yes:

Is that the Radeon 8500? It will work ok, but it would be nicer to have a top of the line card. Your CPU is fine, RAM might be lacking. It will still run though.

yeah... im going to 768mb for christmas. no 512 isnt overkill... i need 768

I downloaded the Demo last night and played it for a little bit. It seems like a really sweet game. The graphics rock! Im going to play the Demo some more and see how that goes.

One thing in the Demo that was pissing me off is the fact that you have to pick the lock to get into a car of a passer-by on the street. Even after I shot out the windows! WTF is that all about. Any smart person would just reach into the car and open the door..:loco:

You have to pick the lock on convertibles too :crazy:

well.. its more real than in gta where every car was left open. the missions its kinda cool... you have to learn how to pick all the different types of cars. speaking of which... i need to go finish mission 16...

Dont get me wrong, the picking the lock part is a great idea.. You just shouldnt have to do it all the time.. ;)

Besides.. I think they should have added the pick lock thing into GTA.. A good auto thief should be able to break into a locked car.. :D
