Mafia 3 was announced with an amazing cinematic trailer back at Gamescom 2015. This game was rumored for quite a while and when it was revealed there was nearly nothing to be disappointed about. After wondering what 2K’s teased title was for so many years fans of the Mafia franchise were ecstatic to see that the game was finally making a return. Mafia 3 stand for more than just an amazing looking game because their title is showing gamers that the industry still has faith left in it.
More people should be making a trip to this bayou.
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)
I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.
"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.
*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...
I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂
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.
They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.
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.
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."
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
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."
I think the big note here is how so far it has not contributed to console wars. Its a game for every player and that's nice. Xbox One players don't get anything first and neither do PS4 players. With third party titles that's how it should be. No more of this Rise of the Tomb Raider/Street Fighter 5 crap. Its getting old already. I respect games that don't do that because so many of them now do even if its DLC like COD does. I own both systems and I think its getting out of hand.
Maybe it was just the demo they showed but I dont like the number of explosions in the game. In the car chase demo, the enemy cars would easily explode after crashing. Thats fine for Just Cause 3 but not Mafia 3. The franchise is supposed to be down to Earth so instead just have the cars crash, thats it, no explosions.
Other than that the game looks great.
I am not even going to click and read article because title is bullshit. I saw 25 minutes behind-close-doors and it´s just copy-paste of Godfather mixed with Mafia. Nothing new, or impressive
fetch-quest is the future of open-world gaming!!
thats the weakest point for me in mafia 2 hope they did something
'True to the Franchise'
Haha
They shouldn't have opened the article with that, because it's where I immediately stopped reading it.
