Mafia help

But awesome. It beats Vice City in so many way it's unbelievable.
Except for the painfully slow cars.
Its like a high speed chase with tricycles powered by dead hampsters

At least the patched version gives you a choice of difficulty levels in the dreaded race car mission.

You really think so? For me it's the other way around. Mafia is still an awesome game, though.
Exactly. Realism is the way to go. Which is precisely why I edited Vice City's handling.cfg file and halved all accelerations, decelerations and steering lock. Now the car behaviour is almost tolerable. However, now I can't complete one of Steve Scott's missions because PCJ600 doesn't accelerate fast enough to jump from roof to roof anymore. Unfortunately, I still haven't found the .cfg file which lets you change the graphics from "awful" to "acceptable", or one that lets you changes missions from "absurd" to "sensical".Commissar Lauren said:

Thats pretty sad Ratty. If you like realism so much why dont you play some real life?
I don't know, maybe because in real life I don't drive a Lamborghini Diablo and own a criminal empire?POOPERSCOOPER said:
yeah mafia is a great game, don't really know if it beats vice city, but it's a close fight. I didn't find the game SO hard, i kinda liked the challenge, besides, of course, the racing level. And the mafia cars are supposed to behave like that, just remember most cars around that period weighed close to 2 tons and usually had less than 60 HP. For comparation purposes, a golf weighs about 1 ton, and has something like 120 hp in it's basic config.
and ratty, did you know there's a genre of games around called "simulation"?

No shit?! I had no fucking idea...Macaco said:
Now I dare you to name a realistic action driving game, besides Mafia. No, Colin McRae Rally and TOCA Race Driver don't count.

Ah, Mafia, good times and good memories; Prohibition, rival family assassinations, and car jacking.
Anyone ever get frustrated with the Smith and Wesson revolvers in that game? I'd often times just ditch ANY S&W gun the minute I saw a M1911 on the floor, even if said M1911 had only a few rounds in its magazine. But I felt that the Tommy gun later on delivered in performance.
Ugh, that reminds me of the last Thompson-gun-wielding "boss". Didn't quite feel a sense of betrayal at the "stunning" plot twist but I'll stay vague since some haven't beaten it yet.

Simply put, no. Learn to use Thompson and Colt 1911 efficiently, as they are the best weapons in the game. Learn to use cover and save first aid cabinets only for when you really need them.
But really, what's the problem? I find Mafia considerably easier than GTA. And the race level is a joke when compared to some of GTA's crazier missions. I beat it in under 20 minutes.
Though the reason why I have so much trouble with GTA is probably because I tweaked handling.cfg... Meh, never mind, it's more fun this way.

Make sure the truck is parked right below the warehouse entrance and perfectly aligned with the concrete platform. When the foreman goes away to take a leak, get the nearest crate and deploy it into the truck. Repeat until all crates have been loaded onto the truck. You need to work fast. By the time you pick up the last crate, the foreman dude will be back and raise the alarm. The moment he does, guards will start shooting at you, but you will still have time to get into the truck and drive off.

I did not like Mafia very much. It was a pretty good game but I found it to be too slow paced, overall, for me. I really want to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Have you read about the new features in that game? WOW!
Well i tried that tactic the first time, but he was back when i had three crates left, so i got shot to pieces. Next thing i tried was doing his jobs, then making up that story, which buys more time than when he goes for a piss. So im loading the last crate onto the truck when the guy with the thompson starts shooting at me. The impact made me drop the crate and i couldnt pick it up again! I guess ill just have to keep trying...
