My friend just completed it and told me that it doesn't stand up to the standards of Mafia 1. Cant wait to get my hands on it and try it out.
Well I did as you suggested and bought the legit version.jojothedragon said:Always help legit guys. Do this
Just buy the retail version and the game will install without having to wait for massive downloads except the updates.
Or buy the game via steam, and install the ahem version without doing the crk thingy. Easy as pie.![]()

It was the biggest mistake I made. My internet connection is giving me more trouble than lately and it kills me that I cannot play the game because Steam wont allow me.
Anyways I have learned my lesson. Always stick with *Ahem* versions of Steam games. Will buy original version of non steam games. If game developers decide to use Steam then I dont wish to support them and buy the game legally.
I wish the game developers would offer a non Steam version of the game for a higher price. I would pay 900 bucks for Mafia II if there was a non steam version.
I bought the game 7 days ago but I was able to play it for only 1 day. My internet connection is slow but it allows me to visit TE and other websites. But as we speak I simply cannot logon to Steam and hence I cannot play an offline game.
I still remember the time I switched to original games because *ahem* games were too much of a hassle. Now the roles are actually reversed ! :bleh: (for me anyways)
Maybe he doesn't which is why the agony! Why so serious?Alias said:You do realize that steam has an offline mode that lets you play the games in it without an internet????

You don't need internet to play Mafia 2 , you can play the game very well in offline mode , there is a option in steam to do that. This is not like DRM which Ubisoft implemented in Assassins Creed 2.

I dunno why you guys have responded in such a disparaging manner when I have not directed my tirade at any of you.Alias said:You do realize that steam has an offline mode that lets you play the games in it without an internet????
Next time do a little more research before jumping the gun and spouting nonsense.
You have a very valid question. And no I do not download torrents as it takes me 4 days just to download a 300 MB file.jc36lect3r said:I don't get it, if your net is so slow, how do you manage to download torrents? You would have to wait months before a torrent completes. Mafia II does not require an active connection to play. I will try offline mode of Mafia II, lets see..
And yes, if you can afford it, always get legit versions, lot less of a hassle.

For your information, Offline mode works only for a day or two. You need to connect to steam online from time to time for it to allow you to play the game offline.
You remind of my days when CS Anthology was released. I wanted to play Condition Zero with bots and was very angry when I saw "Requires Internet Connection" in the box. What a PITA. But this is how it is nowadays, and there are even talks of moving to full time digital distribution in the near future. Yours is a one-off case, stable internet is taken for granted almost everywhere nowadaysBF1983 said:You have a very valid question.

I was referring to getting a pirated DVD.
I also agree with you about buying legit. I started working 3 years back so I make it a point to buy the original versions of each game I play.
But my bitter experience with Steam is putting me off from buying any more steam games.
I will however continue to buy original versions of non steam games. Waiting for Dragon Age Origins and Awakening to come out with Gold version or something.![]()
