For now, let's go back to 10 May this year, a dormant Twitter handle stirred to life with a solitary word (followed by a full stop, so you know it was nice and classy): And what's wrong with rebranding a classic batch of wine in a nice new bottle with a sleeker design, a more attractive label, user-friendly cork, a new lighting engine. I never completely understood this phrase or why it had to represent a bad thing, especially since old (or 'aged', if you prefer) wine isn't always a bad thing. Screen grab from Mafia: Definitive Edition There's probably a lesson about pitfalls of piracy contained in that story, but let's move on and talk about Mafia: Definitive Edition - that releases in a few hours - and more importantly, the fact that I actually got to see it through to its conclusion.
I didn't know that until last week, because no sooner than I had completed it back in 2006 or so, the game would crash, returning me to my home screen. There's a cutscene that triggers at the end of the very first mission that sets the tone for the rest of the game. Numerous reboots and a couple of days later, we were in business. Installation took forever, because it kept falling apart citing the absence of some file or another. As was the way with discs of that nature, the copy of 2K Czech's (formerly Illusion Softworks) Mafia I received, was a mess. And it didn't last long.Īfter all, someone had acquired a dubious-looking DVD - covered with all manner of scratches, but accompanied by the 'guarantee' of " Nahi kaam kiya toh waapas leke aao" - from one of the fine gents who peddled their wares in the underground walkway leading to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Our last run-in occurred just under a decade-and-a-half ago. I'm pretty certain you don't remember me and I sure as hell don't remember you.
