Mafia 3 Hands-On Gameplay: Taking Over New Orleans One Crime at a Time


Recommended Posts

The original Mafia shotgun was the best shotgun in the history of gaming.. loving blasting people with that thing. The story and the map were also ahead of their time and underappreciated. Enjoyed Mafia II but it wasn't the same caliber as the original. I really REALLY hope that Mafia III delivers like the original did.

So far this game has been mediocre at best. Do we have a thread for it already? This is really the only recent one I found, but so far the game is so repetitive and the graphics are not that great. Disappointed for sure.

There's no Official topic and this is the most recent topic about the game. Doesn't seem to be much interest from the GH.

 

I'll be picking it up much cheaper down the road from a Steam sale. Hopefully they patch it and fix the issues by then.

I wish I had waited for a sale of some sort, oh well. I will say, the first patch so far did fix many of the PC bugs I had on launch day. I think it will get better, but hopefully the repetition declines as I go further into the game.

Is this game that bad? Or just buggy?

 

I was hoping for a good story. 

 

Loved Mafia 1. Mafia 2 was OK. I had high hopes for story missions on this one.

 

Anyone played a fair chunk of it? Feedback?

 

Thanks

The story isnt bad, I am only ~4 hours in, but it is super repetitive. Go beat these guys up, take their stuff, go talk to one of your goons. Rinse and repeat. The game has bugs, mostly visual, nothing that has stopped me from completing a mission or anything. I will say, patch 1 made gameplay a lot smoother and fixed some of the graphics issues. I would wait for it to go on sale or a few more patches, not worth the $60 bucks in its current state.

4 hours super repetative does not sound promising. 

 

I will wait then. Thanks.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
