ThisGenGaming says "If you’re not living under a rock, you know that Mafia III has just been released, and gave a bitter taste to those who bought it. 2K revealed Mafia III at Gamescom 2015 with a cinematic trailer.
It’s an open-world, action-adventure game, set in the late 60’s, on the fictional city New Bordeaux, recreated from New Orleans. Players assume the role of Lincoln Clay, an orphan and Vietnam War veteran, with the purpose to build his own crime organization to confront the Italian Mob. The map of Mafia III is larger than Mafia and Mafia II maps combined. The game encourages the player to take different approaches to every situation, eliminate your enemies, call for backup before or during a fight, or use stealth tactics throughout the mission avoiding enemies."
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."
The game wasn't even that hyped thought, if at all.
People just got excited near the launch of it
Has there been a negative reaction from gamers? I haven't seen it.. The only negatives I have seen were from the critics and who cares what they say? They don't know shit most of the time.
Critics were the ones hyping it up in the first place. So progressive, showing racism in a new light blah blah. Then they turn around and trash it so it's the gamers fault for hyping it? I don't think so. It was mildly hyped at most, everybody knew it wasn't a real mafia game. People act like it was on a no mans sky level of hype, it never was.
Gamers or certain sites?

There is a good place to dump blame.
Gamers overhype things? Are you kidding? That hasn't happened for at least 3 weeks
How was this an over hyped game? The only people hyping it were social justice millennials that got hard over the fact they could kill the KKK
