And already played for 15 hours or so. At this point, I'm going to sludge through it to see the end of the story because I love the story, like the other mafia games. Until then, I'll bitch because if we keep blowing sunshine up dev rear end when it isn't deserved, we will keep getting 4 stop start launches with cut and paste content constantly. The point is the game could have been god drat brilliant, and that's what really sucks.

If the man paid for the game like everyone else and is playing through it like everyone else, I see no reason to stop him from posting. He has been pretty spot on with all of his criticisms. Some people can play through the repetitiveness but at this point I really only want to see the story and I am having some modicum of fun with it, but as soon as I am finished, I am trading it in. It isn't something I see myself playing through again. The whole race thing kind of disappointed me because I guess I blew it up into being something that it actually wasn't. Also, the mission design for the actual area bosses are so much better than the rest of the game. The amusement park, the hotel, the quarry are really thrilling to play through.

Yeah I agree here. And the scenes after that. When I hung the guy from the Ferris wheel I started getting really fired up to see some great things. Those types of cut scenes have happened once or twice since then, and it's those and to wrap up the story which keeps me playing. Really I hope to see something involved with what happened to Joe and some sort of twist which will make all the mundane worth while.

Getting close to the end here, it seems like the latter quarter or so feels less repetitive - at least the cool story missions are closer together it feels like.

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.  spoilers do not clickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6rIw7Gp12A

Protip: this is a mediocre open-world game with pretty good gameplay and story and pretty bad open-world things to do that aren't immediately story-related. If you liked the Mad Max game, this is sorta in the same area. I'm enjoying it a lot for all its flaws, but the Mafia games have always been poo poo on the sandbox elements and strong on the atmosphere and story beats.

wyoak posted: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. But I don't even really give a poo poo about having Lincoln go fishing or any dedicated side activities. I just want to be able to walk into one of these very pretty interiors they made and have Lincoln get a drink or dink around buying him a new shirt. Or literally just drive back to the safehouse to go to sleep. Just little stuff to make him seem like a human being. It's almost kind of the opposite of Mafia 2. In Mafia 2 you could get food, buy sandwiches, had realistic acting cops, an interactive apartment, and other stuff that was clearly built for this more open game then what we got. In Mafia 3, the game is a lot less linear and seems set up for you to set your own pacing. But the world is void of interaction. And it really just hinders the tone of the story they're trying to tell.

i walked into a store trying to get to an event in the back alley, and it said i was tresspassing, then the clerk said he store was whites only and told me to get out. thats when i murdered all those white people. that gave some life to the world, but it was an accident and 99% of people have no reason to go into that store. Also, no hyperbole, police chases in this game are the most unfun thing ever. Less fun than kidney stones.

I don't know how people get chased by cops outside of story stuff. I literally crash into cars and speed red lights in front of them all day without a buzz. The only time I alerted the cops non-story was lightly bumping on the car at the beginning of the game.

GTAV's moving of the handbreak to RB has resulted in MANY instances of Lincoln blowing through an intersection he meant to turn at while dumping wildly into the air. Also occasionally he'll pull up to somewhere he needs to be and put some "speed divots" in the ground to try and stop his car.

One thing I really like about Mafia 3 is the gun play. You can't carry a lot of ammo so you have to constantly switch to different weapons while fighting through an area. It makes it feel more real. I don't just have unlimited ammo like many other games have. One problem is why would I buy a gun? When I buy one from that guy, does that mean I get it for free next time? I see no point in buying something when I'm going to be dumping it about 30 seconds into storming some place.

It's good if you want a specific one handed gun, because your enemies usually just drop pistols.

Once you have the accuracy and ammo upgrades on the pistol, and the silenced pistol, you can basically snipe anybody within your range of vision with it, and as long as nobody is looking at them, it doesn't send you into combat. on the construction site mission, you can basically stand in 1 or 2 spots and snipe everybody from an insane range with the silenced pistol.

I like the difficulty in this game. Deakul posted:Too bad Mafia 3 is actually a better game than Mafia 2. honestly this. Now if we had gotten the full mafia 2 experience it might be a different answer but mafia 2 feels so stitched together(worse then bioshock infinite even) in every way its retarded and sad. for all the repetition issues, at least 3 does things with the open world and is very fun TPS mechanically. plus 2 is just goodfellas rewritten. it works in some places and doesn't in others.

Probably, I just went random and started taking down districts. Not much of a big thing choosing which one to start with though. I've finished the game, good poo poo. 6.5/10. (make sure you watch after the credits scene) End game spoiler: I chose California, Burke got murdered by me, Vito took over For anybody new, the greatest poo poo ever is the ability to turn off switches (i.e peeps can't call police and sentries can't call in reinforcements) and the ability to get police off your rear end (comes into sooo much use) and then I guess the ability to call in enforcers (this gets you out of so much poo poo.)

So is this game hosed for non-microsoft controllers or is it just me? I usually use a DS4 with DS4Windows and I'm getting no button prompts on screen. Also I can stream to my Shield TV and the prompt issue exists there too. On top of that, you can't bind controls to M4 or 5 if you're rebinding the goofy rear end keyboard controls. I wish there was an ini that I could edit.

There's a ton of really stupid poo poo in this game but I blasted a redneck in the face with a sawed off lever action shotgun from the inside of my car while Sympathy For The Devil was on the radio and I enjoy that immensely. Also chokeslammed a cop and this too delighted and amused me.

Okay, I'm enjoying this game so far but a few things are confusing me. 1. I just killed the redneck leader and hung him from the ferris wheel, and it unlocked an 'optional chapter'. I completed it once, saw some dialogue, but the same mission is still listed there. Is it infinitely repeatable, and if so, is there any other actual story behind it after the initial clear? 2. I only have the one underboss so far, but can someone explain the handing out territory/unlocking perks poo poo to me? I don't get it at all. 3. Are there any hidden missions or anything or does the game basically point you towards them all? 4. Is it supposed to be raining -all the time-? Even when the sun is out? 5. Why does the bayou look like this? Everything has a border of light around it.  EDIT: Just watched that Mafia 3 vs. 2 video linked above and wow. I didn't realize 2 had aged so well. Makes me sad that 3 feels so.. buggy and unfinished, despite the great story, gunplay and cutscenes. Verranicus fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Oct 10, 2016 |

So Cassandra has her her guy, Emmanuel Lazare who you can run weed delivery missions for, but only once per racket ( there are two rackets per territory, ie the Church and the Cinema in the Hollow ). 2. Despite only being 18 hours in I've only started on one of the Capo's turf ( Enzo Conti ) but after the initial territories, when you take over a racket you can choose which Associate get's that racket and it should tell you the bonus you get from each of the Associates. Ultimately there are 10 bonuses per Associate, and each racket ( and the additional mission per racket ) increases their earnings which in turn gives you the higher level bonuses. 3. Game pretty much points you to them all 4. Nope, the weather should be pretty dynamic between overcast & rainy and sunny 5. No idea, looks like result of visual settings or limitations of your GPU.

That's weird then, because it's raining 95% of the time for me. I'd agree with the GPU thing if the game didn't immediately go back to looking normal again once I crossed the line between the bayou and another territory. Only seems to affect that one area.

Finally got around to playing this and got four hours in last night. It's fun! Technical notes: 1. Graphics-wise the game seems not super well-optimized. The biggest FPS/usage drains for me were Reflections, and in non-urban areas, Shadows and AO. But Reflection Quality is clearly the biggest drain of it all, even moving it to medium increases GPU usage by nearly 30%, and starts knocking 5-15 frames off near a lot of cars and/or water. Hopefully this'll improve with patches. 2. CPU usage, for me, is 60%-100% across all eight threads, so that's some good CPU utilization, right there. I still lose frames due to the CPU being overworked in more dense areas like Downtown, but that's normal for games like this. Happened in GTA V too. 3. As far as the game's looks go, I'm satisfied. It looks at least as great as GTA V with my settings (High Geometry, Low AA and Reflections, Medium everything else) and runs at a constant 60fps except for the CPU-bound scenarios mentioned above. 4. Controls, driving, in particular, are excellent. Very responsive. 5. The crashes can gently caress off, though. I've already had two crashes to desktop following cutscenes. Super mood-breaking. Glitches-wise I haven't seen a lot, and even then just clipped/stuck ragdolls, but I did have the superfast cloud bug once and it was p funny. But, overall, with the 60FPS patch, it's an okay PC port. I think I'll enjoy this game to the end, since (as an Assassin's Creed fan) I don't mind repetition.
