Cops barely matter, they only care if you break a law while the blue indicator is really big and you get a perk to make them ignore you for only 1500 bucks. Is there really a point in hiding bodies, because it's not like metal gear where a body alerts the entire station. If anything, they're good bait for more stealth stabbing.

Thanks for answering my questions. I'm going to pass on this game for now since it sounds like the PC port is a bug-ridden mess at the moment, not to mention I've sworn to never pay $60 for a AAA game ever again.

Ok it looks much better with AA off. I don't think it's quite as bad as Arkham Knight where turning AA on literally got rid of some lights and stuff, but it definitely looks better without.

Cojawfee posted:Did you finish Mafia 2? Joe was killed for what he and Vito did. Vito was spared as a favor by Leo Joe definitely survived past the events of Mafia 2, just a debate of how long. Some people are saying he died like Vito said he did but there's no reason for the camera to focus on random fat guy bodyguard with the same face/nose at the end. Has anyone else seen that ending? Mafia 4 is going to be pretty interesting if that was sequel bait rather than DLC bait.

I haven't played through that in a while so I don't remember how it ends (though I'm pretty sure it doesn't provide any info besides what he did while Vito was in jail). The end of the main campaign is pretty clear that joe gets taken off and killed. Unless he somehow escaped from some mafia guys driving him somewhere and did something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-VcmPM8NdY&t=151s Edit: You mean the end of Mafia 3? I haven't finished it, so I don't know.

Guys, help, I think I'm about to buy this game. I can't resist what I've seen of the story and setting, it just seems really awesome. I'm down for some solid gunplay and sneakmans, as well as driving around collecting titty magazines.

Go for it. The gunplay is good, the main gameplay loop is rinse and repeat gunplay (which if you like enough is a good thing), and there are lots more to the titty magazines this time around. You can actually read interviews they had with key figures of the time and it's actually loving awesome.

Man either I suck at these types of games now or this game is harder than usual. Playing on medium and if I got a retaliation squad out on me it's hellish to fight them off, and enemy accuracy is better than I've seen in a game in a long time (i.e sprinting in other games means you don't really get hit much but you will get put down in this game if not in cover.) I like it this way though, the game hasn't really gotten easier as I've played and I'm still sticking to cover / running out of ammo / melee fighting and all that even in late game.

The missions are really repetitive but when the developers actually plan around them, they can be awesome (Like the hotel section). Honestly, I would say wait til it's cheaper. But if none of those things turn you off, then I say go for it.

I just finished the epilogue and that was great. The soundtrack is amazing and i dont know what the gently caress you are doing with this game but it runs well on my ancient r7260x. The patch corrected the clouds thing but still is too dark for me.

I'd wait until it goes on sale, but it's pretty good. It has good music and some of the most brutal gun play I've seen in a game.

Generally my combat routine (Just started on Vito's second district revival missions) is whistle and stealth kill as many as possible. Then, sprint towards them via cover skipping and blindfire with my rifle/shotgun. If they're reloading, sprint up to get the auto melee kill. The biggest pain are that everyone in this world have bionic arms and can throw molotovs from 90 feet with accuracy. Although it IS always hilarious that Lincoln blindthrows a molotov like it was laser pointed.

I'm actually going to be able to get this at a nice discount, so I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger. Looking forward to not playing it until tomorrow while I wait for it to download.

I think its more that people play the game for four-five hours in a row then come into the thread complaining that the game is repetitive (it is, to be fair), and instead of mentioning that they had fun playing the same mission types for four hours in a row, all they post about is how offended they are that the devs would think that a pc gamer in 2016 would accept the lack of mission diversity.

However, funny how I never had this issue with GTA 5. Because it had mission variety, changing of characters, and tons of things to do within the game. If they wanted to turn Mafia into an open world game, they should know that the reason GTA and RDR games are popular is because its a fully fleshed out open world with millions of things to do for distractions, as well as mission variety in the main game. Meanwhile, as we continue (Me included) to trudge through the same mission type, it appears that for the paid for DLC those will be unique missions with different gameplay. Which irks the poo poo out of me. So far, one cool thing has happened as I am on the 2nd of the 3 story missions after the "Sit down" with the crew. Set an explosive charge, which blows up a crane, then using the crane as a bridge to get to the boss. And THATS IT. We had fun playing the game for the first 4 hours. When it became apparent the mission type is going to be this way for the remainder of the entire game, and we just want to finish this thing to see the story, it becomes one of the biggest slogs I think I have ever played. And that sucks. Because had they just thrown in some unique missions Ala Mafia 1 or 2, it could have totally been avoided. Things not to do in game design 101, poo poo that was learned in 1987, isn't applied here.

Exactly. I've played a lot, but take a break after two hours like a normal human being is supposed to do.

I like slowly picking apart the various operations operations and watching the money counter drop like a stone. the biggest issues is it kinda feels(and is) a very late(cycle wise) last gen game.

I honestly don't really mind the lack of mission diversity. It's more that I'm in the early part of the game and there is just nothing to do but those missions... at least for the early part of the game. I'm still very early on. You can't even sleep in your bed seemingly after that first mission that allows you to do so. I know that seems like a minor thing, and I get the philosophy of not having too much extra stuff or trying to make it a life simulator like GTA. But I just want something to break the game up. And honestly, it doesn't need to be too much in terms of IMMERSION--but when you're making a game that is so story based, I think it's important to do stuff that allows your character to feel real and a part of the world. There's so much good in Mafia 2 that really should have been carried over to this game in terms of feeling like you actually exist in the world.

The missions you are doing now, you will be doing for the rest of the game. It isn't just the early game. I agree with you on the open world. I haven't even been to my home base once, because the only reason why I would go there is to stash cash, and I immediately had a perk to just call a car to grab my cash so if I die I do not lose half of my wallet.

GTA and RDR's side missions were crap (Horseshoes? Hunting? Triathalons? A terrible implementation of golf?) but Rockstar knows how to make an interesting world to muck around in. The world is OK in this but not on that level.

The one thing I hate about this game is every instance where it has a hint of something interesting in the world but it isn't implemented. There's all these auto shops scattered around but you can't do anything with them. I guess customizing cars comes later but it seems like it's something you select from that guy in the van. Lack of being able to change clothes sucks but then mafia 2 didn't really have any cool clothes either. In doing some more looking around, maybe this game really was made by 2K Czech. Wikipedia says around 40 people from there were sent to Novato which is where Hangar 13 is based. If they could patch in some things from the old game, that would be really cool. Make the game at least on par with Mafia 2 and I'd recommend it to everyone.
