    Give the devs a break

    i've been reading the forum and alot of ps3 owners obviously arent happy with the ps3 version, which is completely understandable. But forgetting all about the other versions of the game, i'm not too pleased myself but i think the 2k czech devs did a good job considering (correct me if i'm wrong) that this is their first time at developing a full game for ps3, sure it could be better, but no game is perfect

    Just get a 360 or a gaming pc if you are a true Mafia 2 fan.

    ...Or just not care whether the PS3 version is not as good as the other platforms?

    I don't think I should have to go out and buy an xbox 360 or spend hundreds of dollars on a gaming PC just so I can play Mafia 2 and be a 'true fan'. The devs should have made it equal with the 360 version and PS3 version, and making the PC version amazing is understandable but not bringing the PS3 up to what it's capable of doing might just be laziness.

    i'll admit hate is a strong word, i'd put it down to personal experience, my friends xbox got rrod when i was there and after about an hour we managed to get through to microsoft, it was very complicated, it took 3 weeks for him to get it back, they sent it off to germany and said they'd fixed it but gave him a new one. when my ps3 started playing up i phoned sony, took less than 10 mins, and they could send a courier to pick up my ps3 a few days later and give me a new one. but it fixed itself eventually.

    It wouldn't be the first time that the PS3 is getting the short end of the stick. This is mostly due to budget restraints, since they would need an entirely seperate development team to code the PS3 efficiently. Porting it over is much cheaper and usually works without noticable performance issues.. usually.

    So then wouldn't it have been easier just to keep it on the 360 and PC?

    I'll be using this post as my diary, so if you hate reading about someones life, please ignore.

    Oh, I see. Well, I dislike (hate being too strong) the PS3 because my older brother had a Playstation all his life. I remember when he bougtht it, it was used and most CD's were pre-copied and not the real game, you know? I remember there was this game where you could control this sort of crane/excavator and crush cars. Then he sold it and bought a PS2 and quickly opted for the PS2 that was much smaller (I have no idea if it's the first Playstation or the 2nd as I was under 10 years old for this). Now that he has a PS3, he's bragging so much. I rarely get to see my brother as he works a lot and lives an hour away from me. When he does come see me, he brings his PS3 and doesn't want to know anything about my 360, which I try to please him (not in that way) with.

    That's why I see most PS3 users as close-minded. I know most 360 users are close-minded too. It's rare to see a gamer that owns a PS3 and a 360, even rarer when they play both daily. I wouldn't own a PS3 but I enjoy playing games on one.

    You're still invited in my tree house.

    Also, I have a dream! A dream where Xbox 360's will be silent (this doesn't mind me at all, but hey, people keep complaining) and that dust shall not land on it. A dream where Playstation and Xbox 360 can be together, holding controller in controller. My dream is just a dream because this will never happen. Console war sucks.

    The Wii seems to be the only "console" not in anything. PC think they're the best, consoles are going against each other and all this while Mario is jumping around planets on the Wii. We failed as gamers.

    if only, but microsoft and sony dont like each other so this will never happen, your right, console war does suck.

    but the thing that puts me off the 360 the most is how microsoft want even the free things like demos to be for gold members only, and bbc iplayer which is why its not on the 360. its a shame bcoz i wanted to play the mafia 2 demo on the 360 in my house

    probably cause the demo's u try to download, or they are gold exclusive (like the PS+ has) or they are new, and still gold exclusive for some period before they are released to silver accounts.

    Guys... Is the missing grass really that much of a big deal, or is there something I am missing?

    The grass is no more an issue, the new base of people's whinning is now the multiple reviews popping around the internet, notibly Kotaku and IGN to name a few.

    Never a dull day on here.
