Let me enjoy the game please...

I am really confused. Publishers like R*, 2K have made vast open world games like Mafia 2, GTA 4 ect... The amount of detail in the land is amazing, the physics are amazing, so are the graphics. But I can't enjoy the games. Why? Becuase every time I do ANYTHING in either of these games that is remotely fun (getting a car, runnint over someone, crashing my car, fighting someone) the **** police show up. I know they want to make it realistic, but I play games to have fun. I can go outside and be arrested, I don't want it in a game. I wouldn't mind if you could turn them off like you could in games like San Andreas, but you can't. I don't understand why devs would put so much time and effort into a games open world experience, if you are restricted by the police in really having fun in the game. Sometimes, I just want to get a car, drive around, and not have to worry about running away from the police if I crash my car or run someone over. It's a game, let me enjoy it.

That's the point, there hardly any cheats now for new games.

I completely understand in GTA but i think the cops in mafia will be much better

I don't know about you, but I would rather be arrested in-game than IRL, call me crazy though.

Mafia 2 is great when the cops be hatin on thugz.

I don't mind having to deal with cops in a game, as chases and shoot-outs can be quite fun. However, when developers take it so far as to make cops chase you for merely speeding it is just too much realism for me. There is a fine line that separates fun from too realistic. Above all, I want my games to remain within the 'fun' realm, and making me get chased by cops every time I go over the speed limit in a game is simply taking it over that line for me.

Yes, it makes you be more cautious, but driving along at Granny speed in a game that requires a lot of driving is just not my idea of fun. Besides, what is the use of having all of these nice cars to collect if you cannot get out on the road and enjoy them without having to worry about getting chased by the police for speeding, lol? I realize some will love it for the 'it makes me cautious' factor, but I just think it is straight up ridiculous.

I am of course referring to Mafia II here. While I still think I will enjoy the game, this factor really turns me off. I'll probably pick it up on the cheap later on. I am sure I'll enjoy it much more at around the $30.00 price range... or less.

Cheats really need to make a comeback. Crackdown did it right.locopatho

Exactly, it's not much to ask. You've built a huge sandbox, let me enjoy it.

If devs want to go for realism, they should give you the option of paying the cops off. :P
