Cojawfee posted:Post patch and the game is a bit better but it's disappointing. The game is most definitely rendering at 720p and upscaling which is very disappointing because I'm only getting 40-60fps with an i5 6600k and a GTX1070. I'm playing at 1440p and all the steam notifications and the overlay are twice the size they should be, not to mention they are all blurry. I really hope there's another patch that makes the game actually render at the resolution I choose. I can't believe console ports have gotten even worse over the years. I thought oversized UI from Bioshock and Oblivion were bad. Really sucks because I am really enjoying this game. This sums up the PC gamer mentality perfectly. Let's just play the drat game.

But Sweet Jesus I have no idea what the hell a couple people are trying to do with saying the story missions make up for the rest. Whether its a side mission or a story mission, it makes no drat difference Its always the same drat mission with a different person. All the way till the end.

Up until then, and after that for another 7 hours, it went back to the same drat poo poo. Am I missing something here? How are people differentiating the story missions? They are the same subset and set with different names.

This game is broken in hilarious ways. I was rescuing the one dude from the lighthouse, and after fighting through the guys there was a boat, so i figured i would take the boat and it triggered a side mission for one of the under-bosses. so the clock is still ticking on the rescue mission, but now i'm doing the weed delviery. i get that done, and the dude i'm rescuing pops up beside me so i order a car and drive him to the marker, but it won't activate, it's still saying i have to rescue him. time runs out, i restart, and now i'm stuck with him and his car inside a garage. i would imagine you're supposed to open it from the outside and then get in the car, but i didn't do that so now i'm hosed i guess.

'Witcher 3 style dlc' seems like it's actually just releasing content that should have been in M3's actual release had they not rushed a dated half-finished port out the door. Might as well have tagged the thing with Early Access.

Hey man I am a jaded gamer too and am worried about it getting samey but you seem to be playing a shitload of hours per day and maybe that is hurting your experience? Doesn't explain the graphics complaints though, I think it looks great.

This game would be infinitely better if there was a "story only mode" so you didn't have to do 10 randomly generated "dismantling" missions to get to the main targets.

Nah, the game looks like poo poo. The character models look great but everything else looks worse than the last gen version of GTA V and even if it isn't upscaling from 720p, it looks like it is. I can handle repetitive missions, I loved the Mad Max game and that was repetitive as all hell and I like the story and setting, but the game just feels really unpleasant to play and I think the horribly muddy visuals mixed with the framerate cap is what caused that. I'm not even that big of a framerate snob, but if a game is going to be 30 fps it better drat well look great and Mafia 3 simply doesn't. The framerate has now been fixed so it feels a bit less unpleasant to play, but it still doesn't look too great and it's putting me off from playing more of it. It's surprising, really because I never thought I was much of a graphics snob and I still enjoy playing older games that have aged like milk visually. But something about Mafia 3's graphical style just does not look good to me and in fact I'm fairly sure the trailers looked a hell of a lot better which makes me think that some idiot suit at 2K mandated that the PC version had to maintain console parity, or there's some serious bug going on where the only settings that stick when you set everything to high is the vaseline blurry post processing. Either is possible, given how the game was clearly rushed out before it was ready.

Tae posted:It really sucks that you can only carry 2 weapons and apparently one of them has to be a pistol/magnum? Because Shotgun is by far the best weapon because you can one-hit kill via blindfire. I wish it was like Mafia 1, one long weapon to hide in your jacket, and two pistols. And if I'm remembering correctly (I haven't played Mafia 1 since before M2 came out) you could also use a second 'long gun' but you had to carry it and couldn't hide it.

Cross posting from the PS4 thread: After playing Mafia 3 a bit more, I really can't recommend it for full price. The game has crashed on me multiple times, and there are other reports of it crashing on people. The story showed some real promise when the game started off, but now that I am in what I assume to be midgame, the story has been pretty non-existent and has simply been replaced by kill this guy that you know barely anything about to take his territory. The mission variety is abysmal, with some missions even taking place in the same spot as other missions. And the race thing while I guess a step up from other games, I still can't help feeling disappointed by it. Outside of the N-word and the broadcasts and some shots, it just feels so invisible.

The story is intriguing but so far I've only killed one of the ten bosses (about to do the second), and if this loving structure never changes... hoo boy. I think what separates this from something like GTA V is that GTA hides its basic loop with all sorts of neat tricks and story content. Mafia 3 flat out just tells you to go do x y and z to bring down a number before getting the boss. It does this ten times, then the game is over. Bleh.

The thing with GTA V is that it actually seemed like they individually designed their missions and they are somewhat scripted. This they kind of plotted out enemy patrol roots and placed them and called it a day.

So do this game finally let you goof off in free roam shenanigans or is it very heavily scripted like the last two games? Also, do they make you obey traffic laws in this game? That poo poo got old real fast in the previous games.

I was really tempted to pick this up but after reading the feedback from the game so far I'm kinda glad I didn't pay full price for this - Mafia 2, as stripped down as it apparently was, was at least pretty polished and solid. This kinda looks like a buggy mess. I doubt it'll have a place in the Halloween sale in a couple week (but lol if it does) but maybe for the Holiday sale it'll be knocked down a bit? Or when they get close to releasing the first DLC.
