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.
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.
