Aaaarrrghh!!! I can't stop playing "Mafia"!!!

digitalwanderer · Dec 12, 2002, 07:21 AM

Damn it, it's almost 1:30 local time and I was up before 6:30 this morning and have to be again tomorrow and I still can not quit playing this game! It's just got me grabbed hard and will not let me go!

I'm just getting ready to blow up the brothel, and I'm supposed to stop playing NOW?!?

This is one scarily good game for me, seriously addicting.

Zardon · Dec 12, 2002, 08:04 AM

yes I absolutely loved it as well, I played it until I beat it.... fantastic game digitial, like being in the godfather

kinetic · Dec 12, 2002, 06:47 PM

I'm willing to take it off your hands until the pain goes away!

digitalwanderer · Dec 12, 2002, 07:00 PM

I'm trying like hell NOT to play it today until I get an actual chunk of free time to spend with it, I'm afraid of ignoring the kids. (Yes, it's THAT good!

)

Downside to this is what? Keep playing. I couldn't stop playing NOLF2 until it ended... I love the game

The downside is me kids, wife, cats, dogs, and house can't spare me that much time to play 'til my indulgence is sated. I'm not really whining, I'm just complementing the game in me own silly way.

(I was the same way with NOLF2 too, & HL, NOLF, MP, Sof, SoF2 (after finally getting it to run decently!

), and a couple of other really good ones. It's my best indicator to know how good a game is...do you want to just keep playing it.

Oh, did you finish Mafia yet?

I haven't played it at all yet today, probably in a few hours.

I just finished blowing up the whorehouse and getting away last night, I think I'm on "Intermezzio 2"..but I was AWFUL fuzzy by the time I finally dragged myself away from the game.

I haven't had a story grab me this much since "Max Payne".

DriveEuro · Dec 12, 2002, 08:45 PM

Oh, I personally didn't care for Max Payne. Too cheesy of a story line for me.

Wiz4rd- · Dec 14, 2002, 06:51 AM

I find mafia very addicting as well, only game in months I have actually paid for.

is it seriously that good?

maybe i should try it.... *heads back to tribes 2*

Zarathustra · Dec 21, 2002, 01:31 PM

Jesus I just knew that game would be addictive. Luckily I've held out playing it, hopefully I can last until after X-mas.

digitalwanderer · Dec 21, 2002, 02:16 PM

...it's the biggest challenge to me system since the Doom3 pre-alpha, the sucker will grind down the best of boxes in some spots.

Zarathustra · Dec 21, 2002, 03:27 PM

MUHAHAHAHAHA that sounds like a challenge to me!

fornicatarachnid · Feb 8, 2003, 02:21 AM

I've just got this game and I love it too ! Been playing it most of the day today and it

just gets better and better the more I get into it. The opening sequence is brilliant, like

being at the movies watching a real film, the graphics are that good. I still can't get

over the detail on the gangsters faces, they even have wrinkles and cuts from

shaving ! Got to dash, I have to go and collect some protection money

ToshiroOC · Feb 8, 2003, 02:41 AM

Its damn good, isn't it?! I just got it a couple days ago (and I hooked up my z560's about 5 minutes ago

) and its utterly kicking ass!

I'm a little stuck ATM on the mansion mission... but the free ride is still pretty fun, so I'm just doing that now

fornicatarachnid · Feb 8, 2003, 09:32 AM

Only just noticed Tosh, congratulations on your new mod status, you deserve it !

Kelsenellenelvian · Feb 8, 2003, 11:15 AM

Come Fornocatarachnid you know most of us would just have low-jack ports implanted if we could.

ToshiroOC · Feb 8, 2003, 07:18 PM

Thanks forni - I've been somewhat busy finding out the tricks of the trade, so I didn't start a thread saying, "w00t! I'm a mod!"
