I'm beginning to think the creators of this game have never played a video game, let alone made one. the timeline flashing all over the place and constant cutscenes and gameplay flashing in and out and loving tailing missions. what the gently caress

I like the story alot so far or at least how they tell it. i am sucker for documentries escpialy tragic/crime ones and they nailed that perfectly so far. plus the shooting/hit reactions are loving great.

Traffic didn't bother me once I realized nothing matters until a cop is within vicinity. Otherwise I'm speeding, crashing, and running red lights all day.

this. just play like a conservative GTA style(dont run down everything/avoid collisiouns) and stay out of cop radar. thats it.

The Haitians are pushing into The Hollow (sammys/black mob territory) so you go out there for some payback/to teach them a lesson after finding out Sammy owes money to Sal (which is the reason you do the heist)

The 21:9 menu was so broken to the point where i couldn't even start the game until I turned it back to 16:9 and then back up once I was in game.

I've tried rebinding, reloading, reinstalling, and even changing graphics settings, and nothing. It works when I'm driving just fine, but as soon as I'm walking around, gone.

Anybody have any ideas? I'd really like to get past the tutorial mission...it's degrading.

Nobody? Ugh, I can't think of anything that would cause this.

The most user-friendly game I've ever played



Far as I can tell, the default config does not include a mapped Interact button. One of the community layouts probably does, at least.

And I guess it's always going to be a roll of the dice figuring out which PC game devs thought ahead to scale resolution to 4K. Mafia 3's as bad as Mass Effect 3 in that regard, the text is like the fine print on a satanic pact. Is that something that's coming along in the patch along with framerate throttling?

What? I think this game could be one of the best of the year. It's really excellent and brings a lot of nice new touches to the genre.

I was a little bit worried about it getting samey like some people complained but then there was the amusement park and everything kicked back into high gear.

p.s. oh there are PC port issues? Running great on PS4 (not trying to sound smug)

The PC version is locked at 30, but there's a patch coming in the next couple days to fix that. There's also a bit of your open world jank, but I expect that from any game in the genre, honestly. Even Rockstar games have poo poo like bird people.

I haven't had any technical issues but I know I'm in the extreme minority as even PS4 players are crashing. But so far the game's run like a loving champ and I just did a seven hour marathon without a single issue.


Game is REALLY GOOD! Except police chases. Those aren't fun. But everything else is pretty drat fun and so far I'm excited for the "go here, kill guys, do specific thing, repeat twenty times" loop.

The voice acting and mo cap are some of the best I've seen in a game. The combat is so brutal and satisfying, as are the sound effects and soundtrack. The 30 fps surprisingly doesn't bother me much.

Nobody's right, obviously, but FWIW, I've seen a lot more positive reactions than negative ones, besides the "repetitive" comments.

And I've done a lot of reading, since I'm not playing this until the PC patch comes out.

Really the worst thing about this game right now seems to be the bugginess of the PC port, which is getting addressed in the coming days. Supposedly.

It's ok. The story and presentation are good. But the gameplay is sorely lacking. It's repetitive, the combat is really nothing special and neither is the stealth. I'm playing just to see the story then trading it in.

Spec ops the line is the game it reminds me of.

Downloaded on PS4 last night. After I chose the brightness, it went to the installation screen where it seemed to start at 13%. Almost an hour later, it's at 19%. Would it speed up if I put the PS4 in rest mode or something, or would that gently caress up the game?

The story is great, but the gameplay is sadly very repetitive. You'll be doing the same thing for hours and hours with very little variety.

The stealth is also pretty busted so it's really easy to toss a screaming doll, and stealth kill the 4 dudes just staring it that don't notice you neck stabbing the guy less than a foot away from them.

I honestly kind of wonder if the inevitable Mafia 4 should just ditch the open world entirely. It's never been put to good use in any of the games so far. Have high polished and memorable missions instead of developing an open world which devolves into repitition and bugs.

Then again 2K would probably laugh the devs out of the door with that suggestion because open world games with a lot of busy work to do are what sell these days.
