@uninspiredcup: This has god tier camp, gameplay and QTEs that happen 'during gameplay'.

Why didn't you like it ?

Hidden & Dangerous 2 is waaay more like Where Eagles Dare than RTCW.

It's also the best WW2 shooter, has one of the best campaigns in any military shooter and it's not heavily scripted or railroaded at all.

Blows CoD, BF, MoH away, but would probably a bit much to handle for your average consoletard, as there's a lot more to it than just go forward and shoot the baddies that pop up on the screen.

Mafia 1's combat was great. You couldn't auto-pilot the combat, like you can in popamole games. You lost a lot of health when shot and the guns had a lot of kickback to them. You can also get stun-locked from a shotgun blast, which meant you were as good as dead and a single shotgun blast from close range usually just killed you right then and there. Same thing with tommy gun bursts.

Every story-related combat encounter in Mafia 1 was intense and memorable. The encounters were usually set up incredibly well, and combat was lethal so you had to pay attention. In the fourth mission you were fighting a handful of guys at a shitty motel, and it felt great when you managed to pull it off. In the fourth mission of Mafia 2 you're gunning down policemen by the dozen, and it barely registers with you because the cover system is basically doing the fighting for you. Just pop those moles at your leisure and proceed to watch the next cutscene.

I bet it'll change a few things like getting pulled over if you go over the speed limit, ect.. but it's not gonna do stuff like add recoil, bullet damage and re-design encounters to compensate for the more challenging gameplay that would bring.

Why does some other company even need the 'Assassins Creed' rights to make a cool game in different historical type settings like that ? So they can use their shitty characters and such ? lol

Doesn't make any sense.

@ghosts4ever: Your boy Mack's sounding a little scared about this remake and he's a massive Mafia 1 fan, as you know.

Maybe mods will fix this too ?

STALKER being developed and dumbed down for console players ? hahaha

....good luck with that.

Original Sin/s had a great turn based combat ENGINE, but as Maroxad stated, there was a lot off about them too. The 2 main things being Larian's half ass ruelset and the crappy itemization. Then there's more subjective things like the goofy writing and childish artstyle.

Like him, I'd rather have turn based instead of rtwp, but as an overall package, I'd also go with Baldurs over Divinity.

DAO came out at a time literally NO traditional style wRPGs were coming out, (outside of the super rare indie like KoTC) so fans would basically take anything they could get at that point.

Not that it was a terrible game and the different origin stories was a cool idea, but it was far from being a proper spiritual successor to BG and not even close to being among the best EVA.
