Think there were circumstances at the time where I was away from my PS4 and RDR2. Forgot where I was at in the game. During COVID, there was an idea to start it all over again. But all those long horse rides and talking preamble to the action were too much the first time. Still open to trying it again on PC with mods one day.

Mafia (1 and 2, anyway) is and isn’t open world. They’re not of the GTA and Saints Row variety with activities and all. The open world is a map where the linear game takes place. Think The Getaway was like that where you had a detailed London but it’s a linear game.

I thought about teasing you about not finishing RDR2 but jesus christ that is a long-ass campaign.

Saints Row first game was weird in tone and didn't have a coherent world, but SR2 really pulled the brakes off and went for it. I spent a lot of time just driving around and re-trying the Activities (which became the core gameplay focus from SR3 onward), AND the story was surprising and dark.

Mafia is not an open-world game, I've repeatedly heard. Is it actually open?

:bow Sleeping Dogs :bow2
Not only a fantastic story, but innovative gameplay shifting between guns and melee that Rockstar has struggled with in EVERYTHING except Bully. Unsurprisingly, United Front Games developers had a number of Bully team members on staff.

Again taking stock of what I’d miss or change if I lived here long term. Full remodel of countertops. I’m not particularly tall, even amongst many people here. But it didn’t click until I went back home that I could wash my hands or dishes without bending down.

I didn’t particularly care for the campaign of GTAV. RDR2 I never finished. The mission design of the games isn’t for me. But just driving around the world is unmatched. Sleeping Dogs released near GTAV and I liked the campaign more. The actual open world part isn’t fair to compare. Same with Saints Row, Mafia, and whatever other open world games. Nobody does that part better.

I'm excited for it, but also know it will be broken as hell at launch. There were so many things wrong with GTA V at launch, and 10 times as many as that with GTA Online at its launch.

On later replays, it became clear how many things were not working in my first playthrough. It is a wildly accomplished game once it's working correctly.
