Good thing I didn't preorder. Shame they do this. They should be confident in there work to know people will love it

This is exactly why I've stopped pre-ordering games, No review on release, No buy from me.

I can't see it being a fail as the budget is quite high and they have a decent track record but yeah, I'm with you guys, not handing over a red cent until I have seen reviews.

I absolutely loved the last Mafia (M2). I loved it when it was in the 40s, not so much the 50s.

Loved it when it snowed

With you on that, the snow time in that game was absolutely stunning for atmosphere and setting, everything just felt right.

I'm always in two minds when devs do this. On one hand (the pessimistic one), it often suggests that they are scared that some poor optimisation will shine through and stop early sales.

On the other hand (the ultimately optimistic one), I always hope that devs do this to stop some epic story from being leaked and too many spoilers being available before release. There is nothing worse than the best aspects of the game that have been kept as a surprise are ruined by early reviews.

Aye man shut your eyes and click for the conclusion on the last page, that's what I do

That's actually not that bad of an idea.. never thought of doing that

The first Mafia was one of my favourite games. It was so cool. I didn't play the second one. I didn't hear good reports, or at least it was nothing on the original. I'm curious to give it a go now. I hope the new one is not as bad as this news suggests.
