This game looks pretty nice. Im definitely going to pick it up. Never got to experience a mafia game before. Im excited for the choices you get to make in the campaign.

Bansai3208d ago (Edited 3208d ago )

It's a shame you're gonna start your Mafia experience with this one. I'm not impressed by what I saw so far, especially when compared with what the previous 2 offered the day of their release.

slate913208d ago

From the impressions I've been getting though this seems more open world than the past two games and puts you more in control of your own decisions?

jb2273208d ago

You will most likely be in for a big treat. I never played the first but the second game was easily one of my favorite narrative experiences in any open world last gen. You should definitely try to get your hands on a copy of that game at some point if you get the chance. If you like Scorsese flicks and period pieces it should be right up your alley. I honestly preferred it to any GTA game from last gen. There isn't anything in the way of distractions or side content but the story missions were so good it really didn't need any of that. Also really cool to ride around in those old cars listening to the 40s & 50s tunes on the radio.

Main protagonist looks like idiot, but other than that, it might be a great game.

Valenka3208d ago

April 26, 2016. Sounds plausible, especially since it's a Tuesday.

nucky643208d ago

yea - but it sure is going to be a crowded spring - uncharted4 - darksouls3 - doom4 and now mafia3. if they all stick to schedule, it'll be an amazing start to next year!

Valenka3208d ago

Very true. I'm looking forward to it; at least the selection won't be slim pickings.

Paytaa3208d ago

Wait Doom 4 drops in the Spring?! Yeah I'm going to be so broke. God dammit.

nucky643208d ago

absolutely looking forward to it - I want to play all 4! i like having these kinds of games early in the year instead of everything coming out at Christmas time.

DragonDDark3208d ago (Edited 3208d ago )

Pretty bad release date if you ask me. Lots of games are releasing near it.

sprinterboy3208d ago

Came to comment "placeholder" gaming journalism at its finest once again/s

showtimefolks3208d ago

original was a master peice

2nd was very good but had its faults like a big empty open world

will this have any disease jobs or activities? I felt like that was one thing missing from mafia 2. also I hope they don't require us to drive all the way back home just to save and over the story forward

mafia 3 looks very different. I live in new orleans so for once lol

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl689d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

LucasRuinedChildhood689d ago (Edited 689d ago )

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood689d ago (Edited 689d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B689d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius689d ago (Edited 689d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy689d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long689d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy689d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad689d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure689d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad686d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator692d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke19692d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

Top 10 Mafia 3 Characters

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
