Why on earth didn't they just release this as Early Access?

I find it fun and not very samey, if anyone is looking for recommendations. Each racket seems to have a big target like the supermarket or the dump and the rackets are just long enough that I can get one done in about an hour, maybe a bit more, before going to bed. Only had one audio glitch and I'm on Xbox

I find the game is best played in spurts. Play for a while, kill some people, take over a racket. Trying to play the whole game in one go leads to boredom.

I played most of the game listening to a podcast about ancient India.

spooky like this! posted:I'm on the PS4 and trying to do the Guns racket and I think the game has become completely loving busted. I did the trainyard with the map and an informant but nothing else showed up on the map so I can't progress any further. It seemed to me that if you didn't have bugs planted in all the junction boxes then some of the objectives didn't reveal on the world map. When I planted bugs then everything was fine. Remember, bugs reveal enemies.

Zoom your map out further, and look at your objectives screen. I think some guns rackets were in the bayou.

I normally play games I'm anticipating with all the lights out and my secondary off for MAXIMUM IMMMERSIONSSSS. But for this one I've taken to turning on subtitles and watching Giant Bomb or YouTube on my secondary. It's just become a chore and it's not a Bad Game per se, but every element about it so far has been tedious and janky to the point where I have to fight the game to actually make progress. The crashes have (knock on wood) seem to have stopped thanks to 1.02 so I can finally continue playing but instead of getting to play the next awesome story mission like I would in the previous two games, they took the wrong direction here. It's like they looked at the criticism of Mafia and Mafia II's lack of open world stuff to heart and then went in the completely wrong direction with it. They've basically made Ubisoft's climb-a-tower-and-unlock-things bullshit into THE game with some mild breaks in between. As much as I love the shooting and stealth murder and all that stuff, the complaints about repetition are valid not because of how MUCH you do it (the shooting is AWESOME!) but of how LITTLE you do everything else. Also, the driving is loving HORRIBLE, but not because of how the cars handle but instead because of how the world handles them. Every tiny object is made out of loving concrete. I tried driving into a phone booth to stop someone from calling and lost an entire health segment. It is the worst open world driving I've played in the last few years.

That seems really like something they should mention, especially because the random racket stuff doesn't show up when you have the map zoomed all the way out.

Abuse the gently caress out of the cover system and unless you're using a shotgun always go for head shots. Some dudes take 7 pistol rounds to put down for some reason but a head shot is always lethal.

I only ever use a pistol unless I'm totally out of my primary weapon ammo or if it's just the wrong weapon. The latter only ever happens if I have a shot gun and I'm far away or if I'm way too close with a rifle. I don't really use the automatic weapons much, I stick to either a shotgun or a sniper rifle. With either of those, someone is going down in at most 2 shots.

I think i need to gently caress with the speed and maybe lock on because lincoln is slow as gently caress when it comes to fighting dudes. I quit the riverboat missions after getting hosed up like 5 times. most because i didnt prepare before the mission because i didnt have loving money.

What are you spending money on? I had almost 70k until I bought some guns. Don't buy health or body armor, you can find health for free almost anywhere and body armor is at most rackets. Are you not stashing the money in your wallet? When you die, you lose half the money that you're carrying but you don't lose any money that's stashed.

I keep a silenced pistol as a sidearm for when I'm too lazy to go around knifing everyone. My main weapon is usually the AK-47 or M16 knockoff as they chew through every person and car in a few hits no matter where you shoot them and are still very accurate at a distance if you burst fire them. Ammo is pretty plentiful as well for the most part so I rarely run out after clearing a room.

You can buy ammo. I buy ammo all the time, it's 200 bucks at the most from what I've seen. Health is just way too expensive for something that's free in any gas station or bar.

Being lazy and buying armor and adrenaline refills is a perfect use for money that you don't otherwise spend on anything in this game.

Also make sure you are regularly picking up your kickbacks. I am not sure if you get another one until the one that is pending is picked up. The only time you should really be low on money is after you go on a spending spree buying upgrades, everything else is chump change.

I don't get why they made up a fake Klan and then spend all the time introducing it mentioning the real Klan and saying how they're pretty much exactly the same.

It was answered earlier in the thread but as a legally recognized organization they have rights and this is probably as close as you can get before you infringe on them. Even still I think it's questionable whether they might have a suit but I am no lawyer.

It can be but if you get upset about it you can always just not use it.

its not kalled the klan because it is not the klan it is a fiktional krime syndikate that in the games fiktion is assokiated with the klan and they mention this in the game and you find straight up klan poo poo at their explosive krime dens and does it matter if they say the name Ku Klux Klan or not? do white pointed hoods and burning krosses mean anything else?

Meanwhile Take Two was happy to embarrass Lindsey Lohan for suing them over GTA 5 but they have a lot more money.

That girl wasn't even named Lindsay Lohan and she still tried to sue them. If 2K had actually named the group "Ku Klux Klan" and treated them as evil villains (no matter how true it would be), they would most definitely be taken to court. I don't see what the big deal is. There's a group of racist rednecks and you get to kill them, why complain about the name?

They include an organization full of murderous evil redneck assholes, but then also namecheck the KKK as a separate group, so that any lawsuit would involve the KKK having to prove that they have more in common with the group of evil redneck assholes than with the actual named KKK in the game.

Rushed trough the game, finished at just over 20 hours. Skipped a lot of side stuff. It was good. The credit scene was very good. Going to play trough it all again and do all the side stuff, and choose a different path.

Speaking of the Southern Union, feels weird that the "Rescue Human Trafficking Victims" quests are optional. Like, I don't want to tell hangar 13 how to design the game, but... Edit: I also killed every motherfucker in the audience of the auction regardless of whether they were civilian

# ? Oct 21, 2016 03:28 |

Me too. Not only did I kill everyone at the auction but I loaded up on grenades and spammed them into the ceremony as well. Not a single loving klansman survived either encounter in my game.

In the mission where you pretend to be a boxer you can outpace your dumbfuck escort and break the scripting completely. I'm so close to rescinding my, "Mafia III is not a bad game." e: And I'm there. I just punched my opponent THROUGH the cage and now the fight is broken. gently caress this lovely game. Dark_Swordmaster fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Oct 23, 2016 |

You don't even need to outpace him, I had him turn around and run out the door just before they closed, so it broke anyway. Regarding the racism and stuff, does anyone remember if any racket boss other than the KKK one takes away your choice of recruitment? I'm thinking especially of the Hollow prostitution one, because it's really weird if you can recruit one type of racist human slaver but not the other. Honestly it was really weird anyway how willing Lincoln was to work with racist racket bosses, so when I reached the KKK one I was a bit surprised why they hadn't done that earlier.

I'm currently doing Burke's car poo poo and SEVERAL TIMES as I start towards one of the police impounds I'll just get a message that the car was randomly destroyed and I need to go find another. I know exactly what's happening, I've witnessed it. The same double-spawning behavior that causes underbosses to show up twice often happens in police lots. I was in one once and allofasudden a police car spawned in one that was already there, shooting them both up fifty feet into the air and exploding. e: And of course the loving crashes are back. gently caress this lovely terrible game.
