Mafia 2: Racist or Realistic?

Mafia 2 takes place during a time when segregation was the norm in American society.

Does Mafia 2 cross the line, or do you think that there's another layer to the way the game addresses racism that has perhaps been overlooked? How do you feel about the way other developers have handled this issue in other games?

its realistic, but it draws a line because if you notice when they talk about black people they dont say N**** but back in those times im sure that they used that word regularly. Also werent black people still treated as slaves back in that times?

Darkfiber5751d ago

Isn't that the same thing? Everyone in the world is racist, wake up.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1220d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1220d ago (Edited 1220d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1220d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1220d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1220d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1220d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1220d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1220d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1220d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1220d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
