>no motherfucking preload

what the fuck?

>pre-load on PC with strong CPU and fast NVMe
>shitty PC with average SATA SSD downloads the game on release faster
Pre-load is a meme if you have a decent connection

games have been shift after mafia 1

>>717498860
i tried the stress test and lasted 30 minutes before i uninstalled. it's almost impressive how bad they fucked up despite having a literal decade to work on the sequel

>at least we've moved on from trannies being LE BIG BAD
Yeah because they lost the culture war

Decrypting is also taxing on hard drives, I wouldn't install anything with Denuvo on my PC either

>>717501421
>taxing on hard drives

oh no, how DARE we ask our hard drives to do their fucking job

>$33 in a keyshop
should i?

>>717501590
sure

>>717501587
It will kill your hard driver faster than it would have if you just downloaded the fucking game like a sane person with first world internet.

Just like FitGirl repacks kill your drive as well. Just get better internet. Preload shouldn't be a thing at all

>>717501587
I meant comparatively to a normal game download, it's putting 2-3x the work on an SSD so I'm agreeing that it is a meme. And yeah, I think about the wear I'm putting on my hard drives recently because they're $150 with frequent reports of failure so it would be a huge inconvenience if it died from decrypting too many preloads or something.

>>717502084
The only value those repacks have are archiving purposes, if the links for older games on those sites haven't expired yet.

>>717502098
you're one of those fuckers that takes 30 seconds to get up to speed after the light turns green, aren't you?

>>717502334
No it has zero value. Disk space is cheap. You don't need to compress anything. You can buy up to petabytes these days.

>>717500282
This isn't a win for jeets though, the guy isn't getting flown into a Westcuck country and he's still stuck living in a shithole like Canada

>>717502429
No, I had a hard drive incident a few months ago and lost like 12 years of data. There just isn't a good reason to pre-load if you have an internet connection.

>>717498229 (OP)
What if this game sells less than Mafia 3?

>>717502910
What the fook are these scores? 2 was an easy 8/10 on launch (1 was a 9/10), 1R and 3 were an equal 7/10

>>717503285
Mafia is not knwon for receiving good scores. if it's above 75 it's kino

>>717502910
yes thats why i said sure. i wish it had a preload

So is it actually a linear game? Is this MindsEye 2?
>inb4 ummm actually Mafia 2 was linear
Not really, it was no GTA but there was still a lot of comfy stuff to do in the world and the city was nicely simulated and fun to do sandbox stuff in

is it as good as mafia2?

>>717505309
theres an open world anon its not linear-linear

>>717498731
>she thinks that's fast
american-kun...

>>717503125
It probably will, there is no buzz around this game.

>>717505609
>theres an open world
MindsEye has an open world too but you're never allowed to leave your mission and explore. It's just one mission after another with no free time in between and if you stray too far from objective, a black woman screams at you and you get a game over. So that's a linear game with an open world

>>717505803
its the same as the other games anon. theyre just too stupid to simply say theres no activities or side stuff.

Some positive review summaries:
>Mafia: The Old Country successfully builds on the winning formula of the first two installments in the series. It places its gripping narrative and fantastic characters at the center of an adventure that is exciting from start to finish
>Mafia: The Old Country is an excellent prequel to the Mafia series. There’s so much to like in the 10-15 hour experience, whether it’s the excellent writing, stunning cutscenes or the enjoyable moment to moment gameplay. While it has its flaws, Hangar 13’s latest is a well-crafted love letter to a series I’ve loved for many years.
>Mafia: The Old Country is a traditional video game, and that’s a good thing. Next to the trend of games as endless online experiences, the narrative of Enzo’s rise through the ranks of a criminal family is small and discrete, like a sawed-off shotgun tucked inside a crate of lemons.
>Mafia: The Old Country harkens back to the old days in more ways than one. While the gameplay is more of a standard third-person action affair, it’s refreshing to play a game that doesn’t require you to wade through padding to find the good stuff. With a stirring narrative that commands your attention and visuals that fully capture your gaze, The Old Country is exactly the place to holiday as the summer comes to a close.

ooooh fuck the game is gotta be shit then

The devs are probably in the bathroom so can't setup a pre-load.
