I love the touch in the second one where they honk the horn while you're trying to carjack them. Also holy heck that fog effect in the background looks great.

The only thing I'm worried about is the music might ONLY be used in missions by the sound of it. The Rolling Stone article makes it sound like there's no GTA style radio. EDIT: nvm, confirmed by other sources there's car radio and of course it's heard in clubs and such.

It's stricter than an embargo. Review copies won't be available until the public release date. My guess is there's a very significant day one patch. Unfortunately the last time we saw that was No Man's Sky.

Hakkesshu posted:I'm pretty sure doing promoted content without disclosure is against Youtube's TOS now and I don't think a guy like Angry Joe would risk a kerfuffle like that, but I have no idea how he got it. If there are others then yeah it's just them sending copies out to Youtubers which makes sense since no one reads reviews anymore. It also might be a press demo that includes only part of the game.

Replace Battlefield with Civilization 6 and I am guilty of similar crimes

Considering the youtube bots have nailed developers over their own game soundtracks turning it off makes sense no matter what.

And if you can grab a leader alive you can force them to work for you for continuous income.

Deakul posted:The biggest, absolute biggest mark against the game is obviously the open world. It does nothing with it, it's more of a wide open stage for the story to take place on. There's no side missions and no activities... there's some fun collectibles(vintage Playboy mags!) to hunt down but that's about it. It doesn't bother me THAT much but I'm just laying it out there for potential players that want GTA in the 40s.(get The Saboteur if you want that maybe) Jimmy's Vendetta is literally the side content stripped out of the game by the publisher, which is why the open world is so worthless. I never played any of the DLC though. Everything you've said about Mafia 2 is true. It's absolutely beautiful at selling atmosphere and story. Just expect the open world to waste your time at points.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:The side missions are kill everyone. Hopefully the main missions aren't. There's apparently a 2 GB+ day one patch. Hopefully that smooths some things out.

Utnayan posted:They need to address the 60fps issue and the day one patch better resolve the pop in issues as well. According to one of the streamers, they talked to a dev who appeared surprised by the lock so it's likely a bug.

This all just makes me glad I bought on PS4 rather than PC (my PC ain't great in the first place.) For now though, I'll unbookmark the thread as it's become a dumpster fire.

real_scud posted:Jesus, just realized that this game doesn't sync your saves to Steam. That's about the easiest steamworks integration you can get in a game and they haven't even bothered to do that. Sadly a lot of games still don't use steam cloud.

BigglesSWE posted:There's also a nice little soundbyte I discovered by accident. I drove around with a character who was in the middle of a speech, and when I busted up another car he stop talking (as is usually the case in these kind of games). But then he said "where was I", and started talking again! GTA V does that but it weirdly only is in some conversations.

Afraid of Audio posted:yeah my biggest problems are the keyboard control scheme and the lack of a mafia 2 style driving mode There is a "simulation" option in the game settings that makes cars handle closer to Mafia 2. No speed limiter still, I think though.

Kontradaz posted:Maybe I'm low brow as gently caress, but the story has got me captivated. And the music... the music! Fantastic (that scene with Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" was sublime) Not that far, but I loved the use of I Fought the Law EDIT: nvm, just got there EDIT2: Holy crap, amazing use of CCR right after.

Poil posted:Didn't they forbid anyone from making any reviews until the release date or such? And the thread is full of people complaining how it's extremely repetitive and buggy. They didn't forbid anyone, they literally did not send review copies until release date which likely means the game was a complete shitshow before the first patch instead of just being very buggy but mostly playable
