Hey man, crashes are just part of PC gaming - why do you expect the devs to have a game that runs without crashes on every spec? It's impossible. 2K tried their best :(

We are entitled brats. Expecting a game to work without crashing. And the audacity we have when buying a poo poo product.

2k got caught and they're doing damage control, from what I've read the game's physics are tied to the fps cap very badly so this isn't going to be a patch we'll see within the first week.
30 fps caps were tolerable 10 years ago, technology has gotten better now. I didn't build a gaming PC to play things at sub-par frame rates.

This is a pretty big gently caress up, I'm tempted to get a last second refund.

Just going off twitch streams here, game looks super repetitive very much like Mad Max or an Ubisoft game.
Meet (contact) who sends you to interrogate (dude), then optionally kill 2 (named dudes) and disturb 2 (locations) until you did (x dollars of damage). Kill or recruit (sub-boss of the day)

Like I wouldn't mind the cap so much if it weren't loving with the audio, having music clip every second or two is incredibly offputting.

UPDATE [10/6 / 6PM PT]:
We currently have a patch running here at the studio that includes 30, 60, and unlimited frames-per-second options in the video menu, among other improvements for the PC version of Mafia III. We’re verifying the patch now to ensure everything is working as expected. If everything goes well, we expect the update to go live this weekend. We will be keeping the PC community up-to-date on the status of the patch throughout the weekend and thank you for all the feedback!

Maybe they weren't aware of it, or didn't think it was a problem? Pretty loving clueless either way. But glad it'll be fixed soon I guess.

Are you a game dev offended people are criticizing them? I don't really care if this game flops or not, but I have a right to criticize the poo poo out of it left and right as I see fit.

You're implying people who are criticizing the game are adults who are just crying about it. Not because the game has flaws, but just because we're crybabies. Instead, we should just not buy the game. I get that, I support that - but I'm not crying, I'm just pointing out how dumb this release is.

Word is that it's repetitive as gently caress, but the story missions are well written and good. Just a slog to get to.

I'm about to play it in an hour and a half. But when people talk repetitive basically they are just referring to that. When you take over territory. So in a way you can still do that.
