The Hitman movie should have him carefully line up a pistol shot, whiff it as the target moves, then shoot him like 10 times in a panic. That would make it realistic to the games.

I'm probably in the minority, but I really liked Mafia 2. I know the release and DLC situation in that game was a total mess, but I think when those games are at their best, they do atmosphere and sense of time/place just as well as Rockstar, only without resorting to lame gross-out humor. Both the Mafia games are weird relics, and in hindsight only the first one is really interesting in a historical sense just because of how far ahead of everything else it was when it came out. They both sacrificed conventional playability and open world tropes in favour of putting you in the setting and making it feel authentic, and I think that's an admirable goal even if it definitely rubbed many people the wrong way. They can do better, but I think if Mafia 3 just ends up being another Ubisoft-style open world game that'll be a bummer.

It's weird because a lot of design choices in the Mafia games are basically indefensible, but I find myself unapologetically loving those games anyway. They did so many neat things with storytelling and just general subtlety. Mafia 1 ends with the protagonist being gunned down as an old man in his garden, and there's a mission in 2 where you end up being the instigator of this event, and no special attention is drawn to it whatsoever. If you hadn't played the first game you'd never know, and I think that's cool as poo poo.

I really wanted to like Mafia 2, and sort of do in spite of myself, old guns are cool. It was just so obvious that the main game was hamstrung for DLC purposes, and one of the developers even said as much. A Mafia 1 HD remaster is something that'll never happen and I'd totally buy it.

I've been trying for the big boss emblem on MGS4 lately, the requirements are straight up insane, it's never get spotted, never use a healing item, and don't kill anyone and finish it in less than 5 hours

not even the no killing part is easy since you're restricted to 50 rounds of non lethal ammo and you can't buy more ammo

plus the guards have super human hearing and vision, the first part before meeting up with metal gear mk2 took me like an hour to do without getting spotted

I kinda wish alerts worked the way they do in MGS2 where you can stop the alert before they use their radio

I managed to get this back before they added trophies by following a guide really closely. Just wait until the motorcycle chase and the final boss fight, I did a lot of yelling. Having the solar gun already helps a lot.

and then in ME3 Shepard starts talking for entire scenes without your input and I'm all "what the gently caress stop doing that shut up" which I guess circles back around to my problem with the witcher and the start of this conversation.

In conclusion all internet discussions are circular. Thank you.

The first Most Wanted (2005 one, not Jeff's FMV favourite) was a fantastic game and still probably one of the best.

Most Wanted 2005 and the one after it, Carbon, were my most recent favorites. NFS: Porsche Unleashed is still the best NFS game though.

I have 3 traditional model kits I've been meaning to get around to for 3-4 years now, so snapping a kit together and doing some light detailing with a marker sounds easier and quicker in comparison to hours spent with little testors enamel bottles and glue.

Also spending hours of time and working real hard on something that in the end sort of looks bad is an important part of any creative process.

I can understand that as a developer it must be really frustrating to spend years making something and then see a bunch of people immediately pirate it, but the idea that if piracy didn't exist all of those downloads would turn into sales is really god drat stupid. It's like one step away from "Downloading music = literal physical theft".

You wouldn't download a car, would you!?!?!?!
