Game looks ok but the over the top explosions and Gears like gameplay make me worry. Also that soldier type hero doesn't really give me the Mafia flair.

Back in 2010, I used to enjoy the demo of Mafia 2, should I get it?

kraenk123045d ago (Edited 3045d ago )

You mean Mafia 2?! It's an ok game by today's standards. The story isn't bad but I felt it was a more linear and all in all worse game than the original Mafia (which I loved). It had pretty graphics (on PC) but the open world felt kinda lifeless and stale.

KurtRussell3045d ago

Yes, you should get it. And turn on sim driving in controls. Really good driving physics. Story is great too.

Kreisen3045d ago

I really dislike the main protagonist.

Funny the devs make the comparison to Henry Hill, i found his character to be the worst part about Goodfellas.

KurtRussell3045d ago

Yeah its so out of place, Mafia was always about grounded realism so this is quite disappointing.

smolinsk3045d ago

Yes the exploding crazy cars and the lead character is not good, a big turn off.

Is it me or is the article so absurdly written that I nearly didn't understand anything.

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)

InklingGirl649d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood649d ago (Edited 649d 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...

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius650d ago (Edited 650d ago )

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

XbladeTeddy649d ago

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

Yi-Long650d 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.

XbladeTeddy649d ago

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

MadLad650d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure649d 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.

MadLad647d 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."

Orbilator652d ago

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

Duke19652d 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
