It's the dumbest tip ever. In some stroke of harebrained genius they intend you to hold W during the first two horse speeds, but then not hold it when it's galloping (fastest speed). I don't know who you have to be to find this holding and letting go in any way more convenient than just holding W all the time, especially since as you've said - the moment the speed drops, horse stops if you're not pressing W. Just dismiss the tip - it's stupid.
Never underestimate how personally writers take professional criticism. Every writer I have worked with would be absolutely gutted by the slightest suggestion their work was insufficiently supportive of LGBT or whatever. Including and especially the conservative ones.
What agenda? To show that ethnic groups are not amorphous, homogenous blobs? Yes, that's a good agenda. If you see an issue with this, it speaks more about how infantile and incurious your mind is than it does about the game.
It's touted as a historically accurate game during a time period where outsiders were extremely distrusted, especially when they torched settlements, slaughtered innocents and sexually assaulted them. All things we saw play out in the first game at that. Henry is written for conform to modern day progressive ideals which, realistically, would get him and everyone around him killed or enslaved.

Yeah, but we are talking about cuman mercenaries here, i.e. glorified rapists and murderers, not your average cuman farmer forcefully sent to war by a baron.
A 3 platform AAA game in 2025 "nears 2 million copies sold", a success.
54 pages of posts and this is the most reddit post of them all. Congratulations.
Nah, I think you are just a 80 IQ retard.
For normalfags? nuDoom will probably rank higher. For the codex? Since this game is ultrabased it is almost guaranteed goty for the usual suspects.
When did I say it's "lul at dis dork, he dumb amirite"? You seem to be responding to things nobody is saying. The point I am making is that reactions he gets will be the reactions anyone will ever get if he is larping in the real world.
The game as a whole is not especially "realistic", though it can be educational. I've never said it is realistic, and I've compared it to Braveheart and Kingdom of Heaven, as an example of how far from realism it is. So you are fighting windmills too, if you think you are arguing with someone who will claim it's realistic.
Then why was there no wokeshit in Mafia 2 either?
The agenda is to preach sheepish tolerance at the population, including of violent invaders. Whatever. Henry has the option to kill the Cumans, including to initiate the combat from dialogue. The fact that they are even added in the way they are, speaks to how bad the writing is in this particular instance.
I don't think it's as bad as you portray it. In fact, it comes pretty close to greatness but then squanders it. The angle of meeting Human Cumans who were at Skalitz fits in perfectly with Henry becoming the "Cuman" and massacring Semine. It would work so well in a "Dune-into Dune Messiah" abyss-staring Nietzsche kind of narrative. But these fuckers have it all in there but then refuse to do anything with it at all. Instead of a pivotal moment, Semine is a minor footnote while Henry keeps feeling bad about killing Toth, and that's the story they're spinning. To quote the great philosopher JC Denton - what a shame.
Those poor cuman refugees...
Never played Mafia 2, but looking at the character list, he was considerate of the melting pot nature of the US: you have Italian- Irish- Chinese- Jewish- African- and Latin Americans.
this is hardcore copium, by taking the review count and multiplying by anywhere between 30-40 you get an accurate rough estimate of sales, tho in my experience it tends to lean more to 40 than less
yes, 35k of which 26k are steam purchases and 9k are key activations (which are not considered sales), retarded retardThere's 35K reviews, blind retard.
