Should I buy this game or RDR2?

[dimitriosflessas]

I regret not buying a larger SSD hard drive and stuck with either buying this game or RDR2. I usually don't like asking things like this because we all have different taste in gaming. Tight on money again since I'm saving up for a truck this late for or early winter.

Well RDR2 gives you 10x more gameplay time + oniline mode. This one gives you a very beautiful story.

I would recommend this one but if you looking for a game you can play for a long long time then RDR2.

RDR2 is game for 60 hours Mafia 20 hours
RDR2 dont have bugs like mafia, because this game has 1 year and issues were patched to this time.
I have both games on steam, mafia didn't even launch. Lot of people has same problem

Well RDR2 has more replayability and a much larger world to explore. Still this is a great game. I have both and I can tell you that I love them both in different ways. But they are completely different games. So it all depends on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for a game with a lot of replayability and a big open world to explore with a lot of sidequests and stuff to do after finishing the main story go for RDR2. However, if you are looking for a more linear experience go for MAFIA.

They are both good games. You can still explore mafia world in the free ride mode. However there is not as much to do in mafia's world as RDR 2's world.

It depends do you like more realistic games or arcade. RDR2 for sure if you're towards realism.

RDR2, it has far far far more value.

I love both games.. but rdr 2 can give you 100 hours in story mode if you do everything. Mafia is short but great.

If you can only choose one go for rdr2 for more game time

Now they are in the same price, so no question...

You will get 10-20-30x more playtime out of RDR2, between 60+ hours of single player/story missions and online RDR2 is undeniably more bang for your buck, I bought RDR2 like 2 months ago and already have 110 hours on it, just from online, I have only played the first 2-3 missions in single player. Mafia will only give you 10-20 hours of gameplay, maybe 30-40 if you replay the story. I finished the story in about 10 hours on Hard, planning on replaying it through on Classic difficulty, as much as I love the game free ride is basically useless IMO. there's basically nothing to do other then shoot people, there's one secret kind of car mission in free ride, so there could be a few more little secret collectible missions but that's about it. When it comes down to it RDR2 is more worth it, just in terms of content and value, but Mafia is a lot of fun and I did love it,

RD2 is a MUST buy for just about anyone. Mafia might help fill the time.

[SynTaXx]

both games are great!

RDR2 is more immersive, it's kinda ironic when you travel in past, and remember that Mafia used to be the brand that was paying more attention to detail and now, Rockstar created such an immersive and detailed world, that just overtakes everything we see in Mafia.
Yet Hangar13 had a chance and what i see is only regress...

I will also disagree about the story, both games had great story lines, RDR2 tells you a story about the end of wild west, and a guy who put too much trust in a wrong person so he tries to redeem himself.
Pretty solid if you ask me.
So go for a RDR2, i don't think i played anything better in my 21 years of gaming.

[Dregora]

Kinda hard to give you a solid tip, but if you're looking for value, RDR2. Mostly because there's so much more to do and realism wise it trumps mafia.

Mafia is a good gangster story, but aside from it's story doesn't have a whole lot to offer, where as you can just ride around in the world of RDR2 and find all kinds of things to do that feel very organic.


Overall i'd have to say RDR2.

RDR2 is the better game no matter what. This one is decent, but considering the playtime you get out of both you shoud go with RDR2 and get Mafia on a sale later.

You can't compare the two and trying to force a comparison doesn't work. Red Dead: Redemption 2 is a game made by one of the largest developers in the world with a ludicrous budget and as such obviously provides much more content. This game is made by a much smaller developer with a smaller budget as a remake of the original early 2000s Mafia: it has quite a bit of content and is long enough, but it is not Red Dead: Redemption 2 and it is not supposed to be.

Which time period do you like more? If you like the "Mafia" period, you might as well get this. If you are more into the "Wild West", Red Dead: Redemption 2 might be your choice.

RDR2 !!
