Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Hot Criminal Garbage (Jimpressions)

2K Games quietly shunted a remaster of Mafia II out the door, and playing it reveals why the publisher hasn't been particularly loud. It's a load of rubbish.   

A shockingly poor revision of a game that hadn't aged all that well to begin with, Mafia II: Definitive Edition is definitively inferior.

A car crashing into the middle of a scripted, INDOOR cut-scene is one of the better bits of "emergent humor" I've seen in a video game in some time. Pity it was entirely unintended.

So I was drinking coffee while watching the opening. When the car exploded into the house my drank went through my nose and onto my keyboard.

Yo Jim. Just a heads up. You can link your 2k account in mafia 2. I wasn't sure if you were aware. But you can absolutely link your 2k account. Don't have one? Feel free to sign up for valuable in game rewards. Hey, i read somewhere that you can link mafia 2 to a 2k account!

so selfish of them to put their short term profits over the perception of the IP
