Tobias writes "Over the last few weeks, I’ve charged through every possible Mafia III video. And there’s not much about it that isn’t exciting: the soundtrack, the characters, the setting and the new take on crime storytelling. But then again, maybe you’re just excited about the 1960’s open world. And we are too. But Mafia III is shaping up to be a lot more than the typical open world crime spree. The game aims to totally immerse the player in the setting and the time period. And on top of this, it’s shaping up to tackle a number of provocative themes. So here’s what we’ve learnt about Mafia III, so you can know what you’re getting yourself in for."
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."
Never before have I wanted a game from a series I've never previously entertained. The whole package of Mafia 3 could make this a damn awesome game.
A million trailers/gameplay videos/articles...thank you for making these next 11 days all the more harder to get through 😁
Having played and loved Mafia 2(and 1 after), I feel the need to say how far the devs have seem to come with this one. I'll be the first to admit that I groaned when I heard about the time period and the main protagonist, because I wanted Mafia 3, not "this."
But man, everything I have seen about this game just continues to impress. Not only did I get over not simply getting a bigger, better Mafia 2(with a 3 on it), I have come to be really excited about the protagonist, time period, and setting. The gameplay looks so much more refined from combat moves, to the motion capture(the latest thing that really has impressed me), to the systems in the game in regards to hurting the earn of bosses.
I'm curious(not concerned) about how long the game will be, considering the previous ones were not very long games. I do wonder how deep it may or may not be. If it continues to have a great story, rewarding collectibles(see; playboys), and a real sense of place, I don't see how this could disappoint. Would love for it to be super deep, and a good bit longer than the others, based on how much you want to do as far as hurting the earn of the various bosses.
This game seems like its oozing quality, it looks stunning, I can see how 2K wants this series to stand side by side with the GTA series as their 2 top tier sandbox IP's.
