Count me as one of the supporters of the new contract system as well. The old system reminded me of a slot machine. You put in your stats and the result came out. The new system gives us more control/illusion of control. I had a lot of failed missions under the old system. Not so much under the new.(2) When you talk about the new contract sytem you dislike (which is perfectly fine) you argue that "very, very few" people would like it. This somewhat clashes with what was said in this thread - I've seen quite a few people like it and consider it an improvement. That doesn't mean that you or anybody else has to like it, the 1 star can still stand, however I find it a bit misleading to claim some kind of majority here. Same for the "Let's all be honest" part referring to the same issue.
This is very much a comic-book mafia, perhaps a little less dark than if it had been written by Alan Moore.My question:
(3) How did you come to the conclusion that a mafia game with capos going all the way from rollerblading, via flail wearing, to pretending to be karate nuns; a game with toddlers tormenting a poor Wilfred; a game with off hand dialogue about ice cream is taking itself "so seriously"? - I mean, you can still slam it: not well done, not fitting the mood, too many emotional ups and downs to be coherent, absolutely unfunny, incoherent characters, so again I do not want to diminish your 1 star conclusion - this is your opinion and as valid as anybody else's - but I do not get how you come out of this game and consider it taking itself seriously.
Couldn't help but think of this Pomplamoose gem:Somehow I can actually see that, Isabel performing negotiations with other Families on MC's stead at times, and perhaps has Luna as her bodyguard in these meetings.
Actually, never mind. Luna will constantly shoot the kneecaps when negotiations don't go our way.
