Why No Prerelease Review for Mafia III Doesn’t Spell Disaster

ThisGenGaming says "One of the big releases this week is no doubt Mafia III. There has been a lot of buzz circulating this game. However, recently it has taken a bit of negative attention. It has recently come out that review copies of Mafia III will not be available prior to release. The first reaction to this for many is “uh oh, what’s wrong with this game?” And it is good to be skeptical of new games that don’t offer review copies."

It's locked at 30 fps on PC so it's a disaster at least for PC gamers.

Brisco2816d ago

crazychris41242816d ago

ACG's review said both the PS4/Xone have issues with crashing and pop in, he recommended waiting until it's patched due to all the technical issues regardless of platform. Shame too, the game was looking good.

Red_Renegade2816d ago

how many articles is this site gonna make to milk this game? bad review that was too early, talking about the day 1 patch, and now this about no early reviews? no credibility.

TGGJustin2816d ago

These articles were done and up on the site before the review ever went up. They just now got approved on here which is why you're just now seeing it.

Goldby2816d ago

Their 5/10 review was up yesturday. Stating its a bad game for technical issues, repetative gameplay and boring story.

Then make an article saying that no pre release review doesnt spell bad news ywt their own review said it was bad.

Its one thing to talk about negative press pertaining to a game.
Its another to address issues.

Its a whole other story when you are putting out reviews just for the sake of clicks and then article contradicting your own review just for clicks

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)

InklingGirl708d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood708d ago (Edited 708d 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_B709d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

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

XbladeTeddy708d ago

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

Yi-Long709d 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.

XbladeTeddy708d ago

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

MadLad709d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure708d 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.

MadLad706d 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."

Orbilator711d ago

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

Duke19711d 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."
