https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZokdmzvDGA So between Watchdogs, AC Unity, Pro Skater 5, Homefront Revolution, No Man's Sky, Recore, this and a bunch of other games I don't remember at the moment, can we assume that AAA game developers are just cutting game testers out of the picture entirely and using consumers for QA?

LOL!

I ran into a few on the PS4. Aside from crashing, which frankly should never loving happen on a console, (Especially when it is obvious it was happening in the same drat spot for everyone after the soup kitchen area), I had an NPC I needed to interrogate for Vito and after I did so, I killed him, with a knife to the head. He got back up, pointed his finger at me (Without a gun in it) and yelled, "I'm coming for you now!".... Then the zombie corpse with the imaginary gun chased after me for about 2 minutes and then vanished.

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
So far the worst thing about this game for me are the Cops. They are such horse poo poo. Sometimes I can lose them pretty quickly, most times I feel like they chase me for 10 minutes before I even escape the circle. They love to do the whole spawn cop cars in front of you thing, even when I break LOS.

lol jesus this looks like poo poo.

what can you even do in this game that you can't in GTA anyway, besides writing and characters that aren't legit retard-level

It's not poo poo; I don't think the engine is as good as GTA V, but that's not saying much since almost no engine is that good. It's got some pretty typical open-world jank.

Mafia 3 has great gunplay - things get destroyed and people get hosed up by bullets. It's much more kinetic than GTA; you're moving around from cover to cover much more.

Mafia 3 is a decent game.

I've done some googling and it seems that the reason the game won't start for me is because my CPU has SSE4a instead of SSE4.1? I'm able to run MGSV, Witcher 3, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Hitman etc all with pretty good settings, I didn't even consider that would be an issue. Welp, guess I'll have to wait and see if that gets patched

Had my first glitch in 5 hours on PC. As I arrived at a jetty, the boat I was meant to get in whizzed up and about in the air all over the place like a balloon with no knot, taking damage as it did until it blew up and crashed into the river, creating a boat shaped bottomless hole for the water to pour into.

So apparently the PC version is also locked at 720p and upscales from that. The PS4 version is 900p and upscales. The PS4 version is literally the best looking version of the game. What the actual gently caress?

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)

It might be a fantastic game, but since I couldn't play it for longer than 20ish minutes without it making GBS threads the bed I never got to find out.

Not sure about the 720p, but that does make sense since no one can go past 1080 resolution without it completely crushing the resolution. Which leads me to believe it's 720p upscaled to 1080p and everything after that gets crushed.

Yeah about the cops, if you commit crimes in the black neighborhoods they tend to not care... Do it at a country club though, and they will be after you for hours.

Also, I think when people see massive shadows hit the game it could be the clouds creating shadows from the sun. Not entirely sure on that though.

Finish taking over the starting district for Vito - there's actually a plot reason you can't call for it yet.

Really enjoying the game so far. Missions are a bit repetitive, but the shooting and driving are both fun, AI is mostly competent if nothing special, and I've (touch wood) not had any real crashes/glitches on PS4. The story's good and the character writing's great - Sammy and Ellis are the most fleshed-out guys who die in the prologue I've seen in a game, and I keep getting surprised by how genuine stuff like Emmanuel opening up about his family, or Burke revealing there's more to his personality than 'drunk Oirish rear end in a top hat', or Nicki telling you she's gay comes across.

Plus, all the cutscenes with the Senate Committee are great:

:mad:: Mr. Donovan, did you conspire in a criminal enterprise with Lincoln Clay to murder Sal Marcano and multiple members of the Marcano crime family?

Plus, the PS4 version isn't nearly as blurry as the PC version either, there's still a fair amount of blur due to the upscaling but it's still better looking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALoQyGj9R00

Again, the PS4 version is a little sharper looking. Still not great, but it's shameful that the PC version is graphically inferior to the PS4 version on top of the 30 fps lock which I thought sucked, but could live with. Is this another dumb decision some idiot suit at 2K thought was a good idea? It's either that, or there is some bug that prevents the game from using higher graphical settings because this video shows very little difference between low and high settings.

Geez. I'm willing to bet all high settings really do is put on a bunch of post-processing effects that just smear vaseline on everything because that is a pretty drastic difference.

Spoiler conjecture on starting plot: I'm trying to guess whose going to kill Lincoln's dad. It hasn't happened but it has too. I'm thinking his brother is going to do it.

Was going around the open world and went into a restaurant with a bad guy. Lured him back towards the office and performed a stealth kill from around the corner. Lincoln jumps out, stabs him in the throat, and then starts ushering him back into the office. But, thanks to the small doorway, this happened.

You mechs may have copper wiring to re-route your fear of pain, but I've got nerves of steel.
After playing for a bit, I think the game would have been much better if all that filler missions between actual "story" missions were cut off. But then it might be ridiculously short...

What's the general concensus? I'm getting a mixed bag here. I loved Mafia 1 because of its storytelling but Mafia 2 felt like a huge disappointment for me, so I'm kind of wary about this game. I admire its setting and the presentation looks great, but I can't get a bead on the gameplay.

I don't know anything about what they are doing and usually I would agree - I have seen enough screenshots of injector preset fallout/skyrim to know the usual artifacting and loss of fidelity you get from sharpening but that simply isn't the case here. I don't really care what you want to call it but this cheap work around does show how bad the game is by default.

More than Star Citizen will ever be.

So, I've got a weird glitch on the PC. Traffic has decided to go berserk. Cars will just randomly decide to start doing donuts in the middle of intersections. Every intersection is a huge traffic jam with crashes and cars on fire everywhere. Sometimes they'll just swerve into the middle of a building and drive against the wall until they clip through it and explode. It's chaos everywhere. Like the riot from GTA: San Andreas is permanent. It's pretty much impossible to do the tailing missions. The target always crashes before he reaches his destination. Anyone else getting this glitch?

Like I said everyone should make sure to check the in game graphic settings. I thought things looked blurry, with everything set to high in the launcher, but looking in game everything was set to medium, and after correcting that the game looks fantastic.
