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.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
