The game seems pretty good story and cutscene wise so far, but holy poo poo is the game blurry. I've disabled DOF and motion blur, as well as put AA on low, but the game is still blurry as hell, which makes me a little ill to the stomach. Has anyone found a way to make the game not blurry?(resolution is set to native resolution) Also, I'm finding that when I am looking around while driving, the view move seems jittery, like it jumps notches while it moves rather than moves slowly. All other framerates are fine.

I've eliminated a lot of blur with disabling DOF, Motion Blur, AA on low then using DSR ( setting AA to low also helped a lot with the lighting aura effect you'd get during sunrise & sunset ).

ZombyDog posted:I've only gone 1.5x DSR so far, and so far there is absolutely no difference in frame rate bewteen DSR and running at 1920x1080 ( I did make the effort to check when I was playing around with it ). Your 1080 will have way more room to move than my 980 so you should be able to push it way harder assuming the UI all scales correctly at the higher resolutions. Yeah unfortunately scaling up after 1440 gets way hosed and the ui text is all tiny as gently caress which sucks. My performance atm is rocky as hell. Luckily I was able to fix my issues by using the reshade profile which I love the look of. Might tinker in the nvidia control panel see if I can get some better AA than what is in game as it makes the game look awful.

I could very well be it's just buggy but it doesn't seem to crash consistently in the same place, or increasingly, for other people. Could be your download was corrupted. I'm assuming they're working on another patch but has there been any word on what it will include?

At least they finally said something about fixes; I finally gave up and put this game down for a while after the 3rd time of doing a 4k roadtrip in a tractor trailer only to have it crash within a city block of my destination.

My new favorite bug is calling the ammo van into an area and having it not reverse and always try to go straight which then leads it into the armed area and every AI on the map freaks the gently caress out and points at the van while you can shoot them one by one in the head.

The patch seems to have gotten rid of some of the blurriness. It did not fix the bonus mission bugs. It's really annoying because the mission markers move around so I think "Oh, maybe the boat/truck is actually there this time since the location updated" but no, still nothing.

To be fair, the patch is only a hotfix which was advertised to fix the blurriness. Though why it is 1.2 GB large is beyond me.

I'm pretty sure this game isn't done. As if they had a checklist of things and only got down some of it before shipping the game out. The characters, acting and story, are mostly pretty great. The art and design are fine from a visual standpoint, but there is pop-in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0igqedtkGw and the lighting is so broken that you can't see poo poo when it's dark (even after calibrating) or during sunrise/sunset (worse when driving):  Other annoyances:
I should have waited to purchase. However, sometimes the bugs/glitches/nonsense go into so-bad-it's good territory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsaSPOb7xmU

Those are private, not unlisted. Driving in this game is loving HORRIBLE but not due to the cars. I literally just tried to drive over a dead body that was treated like a huge immobile object that hosed my car up like I hit a wall. I was BARELY going (slow enough Lincoln would have STEPPED OUT of the car instead of bailing) and hit some railroad tracks. The car jumped 20 feet in the air and did a complete flip before landing on the wheels. And then the game crashed again. As much as I loving love this series this game is a literally unplayable buggy mess on every single platform apparently.

Some of your videos are set to private but in general I would agree with the points you brought up; the characters are generally pretty great and the story fairly solid but there are glaring flaws with nearly everything else. While the world is much larger than that if Mafia II it also seems that much more devoid of things to do other than drive back and forth. They also tried to create a really pretty and detailed looking world but with whatever the hell they managed to cobble together its hard to see most of it because the game is a blurry mess most of the time. Whatever isn't washed out instead is hard to see because it looks like I'm trying to view it from 50-100 feet away with my glasses off rather than the nice, sharp image it should be. I haven't come across all of the wacky poo poo that other people are reporting but I have used the 'lure everyone into the same room and murder them one-by-one' trick a few times. The strangest graphical glitch I've seen so far has been with boats and water:  I seem to remember this being a major glitch with the AssCreed pirates game where boats would instead just be divots in the water. No idea how they managed to reproduce that here... The sky also looks horrific, like something you'd see in an Unreal engine game circa 1998, how they managed to gently caress something so simple up is beyond me... it wouldn't be so bad if the schizophrenic weather and lighting didn't constantly call attention to it.

I just finished the game and had a pretty stable experience. The murder pile issue occurred a couple times, I think the script can just get on a broken loop where rather than send everyone after you, it just goes to the next enemy in a group so they march into your body pile one at a time. That said there were quite a few times I was in tough spots because the AI was smart about flanking me so that was fairly enjoyable. Lincon is not a bullet sponge, something I noticed that felt similar to GTAV. The stealth aspect was fun but it was something that they occasionally turned off during the boss fights which can be really annoying. Driving was pretty slow and there could have been some fast travel methods even if it was just calling a taxi to take you from one phone booth to another. As a fan of CCR and Sam Cooke the soundtrack was probably one of my favorites of any game in the genre. The story was pretty solid and I found myself liking the main characters. There could have been a bit more push back, and intrigue from your underbosses but that plays out in the post game so I see why there wasn't. The last level felt, ironically, unfinished. I'm not sure what I was expecting by that point but I guess it wasn't more of the same. Props to the game for making Shotguns not garbage at mid-range like a lot of other games do. Although the "accurate" silenced pistol probably had a lot better range that it should have. I was practically sniping with the thing. World felt pretty alive although shallow, but I liked the number of random houses, buildings, that you could get into. Inching further and further towards the day that we can play an open world game where everything within the borders can be entered. Bushes being impassible and impenetrable was some lazy loving design. Dead bodies being eaten by gators was a nice touch and pretty helpful corpse disposal. The cover system alternated between being acceptable and too sticky. Making the "leave cover" and "switch cover" happen on the same button was a stupid move. There were a few "HaHa can't go here yet because [plot] areas that are really dumb to stick collectibles behind." Speaking of; while the Playboys were the type of thing that are obviously for the "straight white male", it was pretty cool that they kept some of the articles. The interview with Kubrick was neat. The album covers was also a nice change of pace from the usual as it fit with the times and helped engross you into the period. The language was acceptable I suppose. There were only a few times where I felt like it was less "here's some hate speech for tone" and more "the writer has an excuse to write 'friend of the family' as many times as he can in this dialogue". I thought the graphics were fine. I'm not the type to complain about them. Similarly the performance was good, no slowdowns, maybe 2 crashes the whole time. Not any major bugs to speak of other than the AI occasionally being weird. Overall, this was my first Mafia game and I liked it more than Saints Row, though not quite as polished as GTA. Grade: B+

The Aphasian posted:Bugs https://www.twitch.tv/lothire/v/94261650 I've mostly come to accept that most big title games will have bugs these days. Mafia 3 is one of the worse offenders and would be the worst, had I not experienced a game-stopping bug in AC Syndicate right at the last mission of the game. Thankful to have finally finished the drat thing. Collecting all the playboys/vargas paintings must have added a sizable bulk to the already long process of story mode grinding. All that wiretapping, and scraps in which to do it, then having to find stuff underground or in buildings was a huge time sink. The things I do for 1960s titties.

Uninstalled until it's patched into a functional game, if ever. Jesus, what a buggy shitshow. What seems like a great story and probably the best gunplay of any game I've played, but it's wrapped in a festering turdtilla of bugs, absent polish and unrealised potential.

If you're on PC just cheatengine the wiretap materials. It's a bit complicated since you need to use a debugger, but the instructions are pretty clear on the CE forums. Saves a shitton of time. Because I gave myself 99 wiretap materials and I've used almost all of them with three districts to go.

Apparently the address for wiretap boxes ties into how much a captured business earns you, so putting it at 99 will really hamper your income. Incidentally I put mine at 5000 and boy was that silly when I went to get paid

Because the game still kinda looks like the same crap as it did earlier... guess we'll need to wait and see what 'fixes' they have coming down the line in the next official patch.
