Finished, best open world since Assassin's Creed 2

I think so too, aside from RDR

Joe is up there in the rank of Barry Wheeler. Fat guys in videogames

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #125 on:** September 02, 2010, 11:50:40 PM »

He's pretty great. I liked a lot of the characters.

the best Joe line is

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Henry "what do you guys know about this group"
Joe "the chinks?"
Vito says chinese immigrants or something and Joe nonchalantly follows with "That's what I said, the chinks."

It's a taste of all the racist shit he would be saying in the following chapters.

He's racist way before that, I LOVE the racism in this game. God this game is awesome.

Can't see why so many reviewers shat on this game. It's focused and polished, much more than something like GTA4 or Assasins Creed. I don't see the issue with an open world game having fuck all to do outside of the main missions, if you're desperate for things to do then there's some stuff. It just strikes me as reviewers totalling up bullet points and giving a score.

Would this be any better game if it had man dates or rampage missions or taxi driving missions? Not at all, you're a mafia member. Docking the game for what it isn't instead of what it is.

The story is decent enough too. Reviewers fail again.

chronovore · « **Reply #129 on:** September 04, 2010, 09:07:29 AM »

Well, in truth, other than the distracting and troublesome man-dates you mention, there's nothing to do in GTA IV. Compared to OWGs like Saints Row or Red Dead Redemption, or even Red Faction, GTA IV is a vacuum outside the main storyline.

there's a lot of anachronistic stuff in the game, and i know they were just going for a certain mood, but the music bugs me a little - i like it, but none of the rock and roll songs were around in 1951 ("no particular place to go" didn't even come out until 1964, for instance) so it kind of draws me out of the game a bit

This was driving me insane. I had to keep checking to see what year the game was in, hearing Long Tall Sally which was 1956, Buddy Holly didn't start releasing records until 1957 and John Lee Hookers song was from 1961.

Exactly, yet it doesn't get pinged for it.

@ the Derek fight. Didn't realise I signed up for Gears of Mafia. Fucking distinguished mentally-challenged shit.

the collectors edition of this game is dirt cheap. Should I buy

edit: alright cheevo guide says one playthrough required and no bullshit online. This is a plus. And tits

iconoclast · « **Reply #135 on:** May 11, 2011, 01:12:03 AM »

The game is awesome, and it has a good story & characters. One of my favorite games of 2010.

so yes.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #136 on:** May 11, 2011, 01:49:03 AM »

Ending and cut content aside it's good fun. A bit too much taxi work but nothing offensive as it's not a long game.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #137 on:** May 11, 2011, 03:11:58 AM »

sweet as, bought.

the DLC is cheap this week so if I'll scoop that too if I like the game

Got Red Faction Guerilla too

pilonv1 · « **Reply #138 on:** May 11, 2011, 04:30:46 AM »

You never played RFG?

nope!

shit son get into it first

Cravis · « **Reply #141 on:** May 11, 2011, 08:12:43 AM »

The setting and atmosphere were ace. Really enjoyed it. I believe the DLC is going to be XBLA's Deal of the Week starting Wednesday.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #142 on:** May 13, 2011, 12:17:57 AM »

just started on this, game is fucking awesome. Will get the DLC

The Sceneman · « **Reply #143 on:** May 13, 2011, 04:11:50 AM »

goddamn this game has the best collectibles ever. I got a boner looking at one of the pictures omg

just played for about 6 hours straight, just beat chapter 8. You guys were right, the game is great! A lot of reviewers dinged the game unfairly. It's much better than GTAIV

naff · « **Reply #146 on:** May 13, 2011, 10:05:08 AM »

Yep, played a bunch with scenester tonight as we polished off a bottle of whisky. A+ would play again *hic*

demi · « **Reply #147 on:** May 13, 2011, 10:07:13 AM »

Did you like the part where you wrestle with fat guys in the shower?

naff · « **Reply #148 on:** May 13, 2011, 10:09:13 AM »

Sent them to find another guys ass to drill that's for sure

The Sceneman · « **Reply #149 on:** May 13, 2011, 10:10:14 AM »

it was pretty good.

The fat guy was like: "we can do this the easy way, or the hard way". Could be a Fleece Johnson reference?!

I beat the Derek fight. Was easy when you just run to the back of the warehouse and work from there.

man this tip saved me from pulling all my hair out! I just beat Derek on hard

pilonv1 · « **Reply #151 on:** May 16, 2011, 06:17:18 AM »

Derek fight was a cunt.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #152 on:** May 16, 2011, 06:48:02 AM »

were you playing on hard?

Just beat the game. Last mission was a bit annoying on hard, but not too bad. Just gonna mop up the cheevs now, then get into the DLC

awesome game!

The Sceneman · « **Reply #153 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:01:50 AM »

hmmm I'm reading that the DLC isn't that good. Does anyone here have it? I'll grab it tomorrow as it's cheap this week only. Being the completionist I am I'll need to get all the extra achievements.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #154 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:02:34 AM »

No

One of the DLC is just some shitty score mode. Bin it and go straight to the awesome Red Faction Guerrilla

The Sceneman · « **Reply #155 on:** May 16, 2011, 11:01:18 PM »

ugh, man Mafia 2 would have been a very easy 1000 if it wasn't for the the damn wanted posters. At least they aren't the most worthless collectibles ever, i.e each one is a weird picture of one of the pasty Czech guys that made the game. I suppose you gotta give them credit.

I'm gonna DL the DLC for this now, but start playing RFG for a change of scenery

demi · « **Reply #156 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:36:38 PM »

The DLC sucks ass. Enjoy driving for even more hours. Lol

pilonv1 · « **Reply #157 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:53:56 PM »

I'm glad now they cut it out. Would have been a brutal game with it included

The Sceneman · « **Reply #158 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:56:59 PM »

drive 1000 miles

demi did you get 1500?

demi · « **Reply #159 on:** May 18, 2011, 12:25:48 AM »

I didnt get the DLC. It sucks.

Chek out my map I made for RF Guerilla

The Sceneman · « **Reply #160 on:** May 18, 2011, 12:33:24 AM »

yeah I just picked it up cos it was cheap(er). You get to play as Joe which will be cool!

So if I get this, I should bag the vanilla version, and not the Platinum Hits version, which has the DLC built-in?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #162 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:10:09 AM »

if you can get the Platinum version for a comprable price I would get it.

The DLC is OK. I played a few missions in "Jimmy's Vendetta" last night. Theres a lot moer blowing shit up. In one mission I had to blow up 6 gas tankers and a bunch of goons. The scoring and going for multipliers is fun. Not bad DLC for 5 bucks

pilonv1 · « **Reply #163 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:31:26 AM »

You can play the story without the DLC so it doesn't really matter. If it's the same or near the same price go for it.

I just assume that some of the DLC was cut from the original game.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #164 on:** May 19, 2011, 10:22:42 PM »

I kinda regret buying the DLC now. Theres one fucking TROLL of an achievement in Jimmy's Vendetta, which is drive 1000 miles. I see myself having driven <200miles by the time I've done all the other achievements, which leaves 800miles of grinding $:-\$ There are various methods of getting it which involve just leaving the 360 on, so I'll probably try those while catching up on PS2/3 games.

Danke. I'll keep an eye out for it then.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #166 on:** May 25, 2011, 10:49:20 PM »

okay I started playing Joe's Adventures. This is MUCH better than Jimmy's Vendetta. It actually has cutscenes, new locations and setpieces, and adds a bit to the main story of the game. It's still padded out with fodder missions but at least theres a payoff.

Relatively close to 1500'ing this
