Tomb Raider 2013 had a good cover system, Lara just naturally hid behind cover during firefights if you were close enough and it never felt sticky.

Those games... well the first two, haven't played Shadow yet... also benefited from their combat rewarding movement a lot despite having a cover system. Also a heavy helping of stealth. I felt like a constantly moving predator in those games, while in Mafia 2 I felt like a stationary gun turret.

Beyond retarded. But not so retarded as doors having a fucking glowing icon on them.

Shaking a fist at an intentionally whacky easter egg and calling it "beyond retarded". P. much sums up this entire thread.
I haven't played much of the original Free Ride mode, but wasn't theer whacky stuff like this in the original as well?

Yep, Freeride Extreme had a giant godzilla thing that comes out of the water, a guy who can run at about 120mph, and other whack shit. Of all the things to critique DE over, Fun Alien Head Easter Egg has to be very low on the totem pole.

Lmao Dan just had published another long-ass interview about all kinds of nonsense and among other things he was asked what his unproduced Mafia 3 script was about. So apparently it also took place in the 60s and player played as both italian-american mafioso and a police officer who investigated the mob, JFK played some kind of role in it. He cannot publish it or go into detail because technically it is owned by Take2 and he is super pissed it wasn't made because he was proud of it and thought it was better than M1 or M2.

Anyway, fuck this game is sexy

It seems he uses enhanced draw distance that comes with widescreen fix mod and a water shader mod. I used those two as well on my last run + usual forced anisotropic filtering and 8x SGSSAA from nvidia inspector, game doesn't need anything more than that.

Salute for playing the best version of the game. Have you installed some kind of graphical mod, the game looks great on these shots.
I installed the remastered modpack
https://www.moddb.com/mods/mafia-remastered/downloads

Very simple, no fussing. What surprised me, even my xbone controller works for driving after I mapped it in the game.

Looks pretty sweet. It doesn't make any changes to the game other than the graphics, right?

It mentions having new models for the default cars. Does that mean he just put in higher-res versions, or did he change the art style as well?

I'm sure I'll like Kingdom Come when I get around to it, but a medieval Poland sim doesn't get my dick hard. A 1930's gangster sim though? Be still my beatin' heart...

I actually like Kingdom Come more than Mafia, and I consider Mafia a masterpiece. KCD is still more ambitious and immersive though. Then again I like open world RPGs with beautiful worlds to explore and high quality writing, sadly there are very few like that.

I haven't noticed any other changes other than graphics. The car model on the screenshot above is improved from the original I think.

I wasn't too crazy about the medieval Bohemian setting either but I think I'm more interested in Daniel Vavra's direction than the games themselves because no matter what he does, it'll be good. He's three for three so far. I'll cut him a little slack on Mafia 2 knowing that he got fucked on that one but it was still good.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is easily my favorite game of the last twenty years by far.

At first, I was annoyed by them giving you the ability to skip the driving but after I realized they removed all the stuff that made the original's open world good, I started skipping all the open world segments. Seriously... The fuck is this bullshit?

I tried this mod. The game looks great, but the loading times are now ridiculous long. Like 10 minutes to load a mission.

That only happened to me on the first load. Every other load has been quick (usually around 30 sec)
