Crabtree posted:Mafia 3 looks to possibly be the first successful Godfather game that balances you being the guy that can do anything, but also be head of a criminal empire. It be boring if you didn't get to do exciting poo poo, but you can try to maintain an organization and call in for reinforcements and weapons. sorta. It looks to me like it has the faction take down elements(slowly destroy rival rackets,officers,whatever,then shoot a big cheese) then hand it over to one of your dudes to run. the story feels more like if the punisher worked with lesser criminals to take out a crime syndicate. i mean Lincoln is basically African american BJ blazkowicz(head injury and all). except instead of nazis, he is decimating mafia dipshits, white supremacists and white southerners(so basicaly nazis). which sounds loving awesome. i cant wait for this game. Basticle posted:The gunplay was excellent. i believe alot of them were moved to the new studio making mafia 3.

drunkill posted:When the game was revealed a year ago I was skeptical. Not because it had a non-white protagonist-- which set off all the other fans-- but because the driving looked pretty terrible, way too floaty and the cars burst into flames when the wind blew. But they've made a lot of improvements it seems. I kinda hopped their would be a nam mission just as an intro to the prologue. it sounds to me like they have more of a saints row 2 story set up.(mutiple small factions with under one big faction) tide in with story main missions and ton of side ones and various smaller missions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REiXl6QE9VI

Abu Dave posted:I wonder if Mafia 2 aged well. I don't care that the world was "dead", Mafia 1 was equally dead. Those games aren't open world they're just wrappers aroudn the stories. the story/campain holds up well enough even though its clearly stitched together. the world is basicaly dead though.

Cubey posted:For what it's worth, I played it when it went free on Xbox a year ago and it was perhaps the most mediocre, forgettable game I played all last gen. The only part of the whole game I remember was when you were in prison, and I only remember that because it was really, really poo poo. yeah thats the issue with the game. basically the plot while pretty good at points feels more stitched together then bioshock infinite and since most of the side stuff/other weapons/half the story were cut, it really shows. characters appear and vanish in the story, a major "twist" about your dad is revealed in side quest in then resolved. it just kinda shits the bed. alot.

Sure, he was armed and might have killed the two mobsters but he probably died. well maybe the second part might be true. but apprerently, he was sent their as punishment by leo now he works under the marcono who hates his guts.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Mafia and Mafia 2 are EASILY my favorite open world crime games outside of GTA and I'm so loving excited for this one. With that DLC announcement last week I'm even more excited since 2K is one of the more disgusting DLC publishers. 2k has weirdly always been my favorite publisher next to ubisoft. Most of their games (apart from any poo poo randy "the retard" pitchford and the burch sibling/the rest of gearbox poo poo out) are really good and they tend to take risks (like spec ops the line and to a lesser extent the bioshock series) the mafia games are great and 3 looks like it might be my game of the year. http://www.vice.com/read/why-mafia-iii-should-tackle-race-head-on also apparently it goes head first into the race stuff. so i am curious how well it will be handled. Walker was always one of the better if not Good thinkpiece writers so i trust him well enough.

Crabtree posted:On other hand, I'm not going to miss the opportunity to shoot digital clansman. You put them in a game and I'm going to kill them no matter how many cops get in my way. yeah. their are klansman in the game. they are called the southern union and they hold most of the rich neighborhood, where they cook meth and pcp. blackguy32 posted:Meanwhile, I am hoping that they don't take race head-on because all of the previous attempts have been pretty drat embarrassing. But we will see. It's a subject that I don't see playing out too well if all of the past iterations, the solutions have all been violence and shootouts, when during that time period, you had to be smart to succeed. I had problems with Django Unchained for similar reasons. I see what you mean. I hope they go full force with it. No games really go that far to see how awful bigoted assholes were/are. games like DE-MD try and do ok but its not the same thing. and personaly, i want a django unchained type of game. Accordion Man posted:They are actually tying it in with the gameplay. Like that Vice article Dapper_Swindler posted mentions how the cops swoop in if they get a call from a rich white neighborhood but they can just outright ignore anyone reporting you in the slums. Also the devs said if you just hang around the rich white neighborhoods for too long people will call the cops on you. this and other stuff apparently.

dublish posted:Between shutting down human trafficking and fighting against corrupt cops, I'm getting a very family-friendly-mafia vibe from this game. Not sure how I feel about that. your not really doing to make a mobsters. your basically a vigilante who lets some other criminals who are less hosed up pick up the pieces and if they look at you the wrong way, you kill them. Dark_Swordmaster posted:I'm secretly hoping this is sort of Forrest Gump-y and the DLC links Lincoln with every major US historic event in the 60's and 70's. Can't wait for the Watergate stealth level. me too. a boss fight with where you fight and beat/kill G.gordon liddy could be cool. Accordion Man posted:It might, but the idea of going all Dukes of Hazzard while fighting Klansmen sounds like a cool idea at least. and geoge wallace is the boss hogg and it ends with lincoln beating him to death in basement. Captain Scandinaiva posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kqlTOFETuI they have said their will be multiple endings apperently. the game is presented(framing cutscenes and other stuff) as a old documentary and senate hearing. Donovan(the cia spook) is there being "interrogated" about his role in all of it. and the pastor is shown as an old man in the documentry. so clearly neither die. idk i have read pretty much every article out on this game. its kinda sad.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:What stuff? The AI is dirt simple in GTAV. If you stand next to anyone, anyone, for more than 10 seconds they just immediately try to kill you. apperently if you wander around in rich neighborhoods as franklin long enough, the NPCs will call 911 or if you stand near cops as franklin.

SeanBeansShako posted:Oh you can do non lethal too? awesome, going to only kill when needed in (gently caress the) Mafia III! well melee i mean. like you can just choke someone out or just knife everything. i know in one mission, you kill a corrupt judge who is also proceeding over a zimmerman/trayvon like case(two black guys run into a white assholes yard and he murders them in cold blood and bullshits stand your ground) and you can hear the judge talking about how he is going to rule in white guys favor because "a white man should defend his property" then he goes to buy drugs/hookers from the mafia and the player blew him up(i think theire is more then one way of doing it)

Utnayan posted:Sadly, I actually have to ask this question this time around after the abortion of the release which was Mafia 2. Because aside from all that, I loved Mafia 2, it's writing, and the story and all the game play. And I can only imagine how great Mafia 2 would have been with Joe's Adventures not being renamed Joe's Adventures to sell as DLC, and having that finished and completed design in the game to take over when Vito went to prison (As what was intended about 2 weeks prior to launch). Not to mention the open world that was cut to sell as The Betrayal of Jimmy (Preorder DLC) and Jimmy's Vendetta. yeah. wasnt like everything gutted. like the melee system, the side missions, half of the story, a ton of weapons and stores. its sad because there was a great game there but it didnt happen. SeanBeansShako posted:It's got a multi layered under/over armour system one of the few things Fallout 4 did right and hopefully that'll seal the deal in removing one piece outfits from RPG's forever. Also, bad rear end looking setting with a meaty combat system! yeah it looks indepth as all heck. cant wait to pick it up. also kinda want gore in it.

I am curious because i know depending how it goes it will probaly be a thing in alot of reviews,for better or worse. blackguy32 posted:While the open world was barren, the part that really made me realize it is the section in Mafia 2 where the game tells you to raise money, and basically the only way to raise money was by stealing cars and selling them.

Tatum Girlparts posted:I just checked this out, boy it looks cool. I absolutely was in love with Mafia 1 and 2 but didn't have high hopes for 3 given the context of development hell and all. Watching gameplay, and hearing the devs talk about how they're doing the model of 'we'll do free updates for little poo poo like outfits and our big DLC will be proper story stuff' got me sucked in. I'll probably wind up preordering given these gameplay videos and all. yeah pretty much. which is a nice change of pace. though some of the bioshock infinite stuff isnt far off(well the racist ideals and stuff, even some of the propoganda and the language) from the believes of the turn of the century bigots. poo poo like fink and other poo poo are basicaly right out of the gilded age. I listen to the dollop to much.

The alt right will definitely get pissy over it especially if it gets good reviews(which it probably will) Prokhor Zakharov posted:The fact that 2k dropped a serious review embargo coupled with how hard they're pushing this game everywhere else (commercials, email blasts, Internet ads, youtube) makes me think they know they have a buggy pile of poo poo on their hands and are trying to get as many early buys frontloaded before reviews/word-of-mouth kills sales. maybe that too. from the various LPs/previews of it, it seems pretty stable and unbuggy apart from your occasional open world meshing bad with mechanics glitch.
