Shit I didn't know OA, Victoria 2, HoI3 SF, BB:LE and Civ5, some of which didn't come out yet, were old!
Well OA is basically a reskinned OF from 2001, HOI3 SF is based on the EU3 engine from 2007
Whining about Civ 5 makes no sense and you haven't even played them so how coan you know if they are better or worse than the oldies?
Let's see. Awful popamole shooting in tight corridor with badly designed levels thanks to stupidly pre-placed cover instead of normal gameplay from Mafia 1, lack of ability to shoot from the car, health regen, terrible melee combat where you just hold the block button and become unbeatable, absolutely attrocious AI that can't even hit you unlike in M1, GPS in 40s, etc.
Totally like Mafia 1. I wonder where did you see the simi...
What crap are you saying? You don't remember the shitty corridor shooting in the first one? What about the last level in the museum against 100 goons? Or the Hotel you're meant to blow up? Don't talk to me about shitty corridor shooting being exclusive to Mafia 2 cause Mafia had it in spades, and with the clunky animation it was a fucking chore.
What do you need to shoot from a car for anyway? Mafia 2's levels are designed differently and so that's not necessary. That's a pathetic complaint especially when they'll just make missions like this for the DLC if they aren't already going to be in the one being released in a few days.
Health regen is a bit sucky, but fuck it, that goes with every game released these days so it's hardly a revelation. In the first Mafia if I was half dead I just restarted the checkpoint anyway so it's no biggie. What AI are you talking about? I get hit often, though with the health regen it doesn't matter that much. In the first Mafia the AI was shit as well, relying on massive health damage with every hit and waves of goons from all sides constantly firing to get an advantage. In Mafia 2, you have at least some possibility to sneak up on fuckers.
GPS in 40's? Now I know you're full of shit! There was GPS in the 30's in Mafia! Sure, it didn't have the 'red line', but you had everything on a map which showed your location (GPS) and you had radar of all the vehicles including police! Stop with the shitty strawman arguments. If Mafia had nothing at all and you had to use your fucking head then your argument would be valid, but as it is it doesn't.
Oh and when I joined has no fucking bearing on anything, you've got a join year of 2007, so according to this you're of the popamole generation as well.
