Mafia III is a big "f you" to its predecessors

There’s an attractive quality to the crime stories of the first two Mafia games. Two protagonists down on their luck—Tommy Angelo in the first and Vito Scaletta in the second—find success through a life of crime, wanting nothing more than to rise through the ranks, to be wealthy, to be a “Made Man.” Mafia III doesn’t care for that.

Agreed.

I think Mafia 3 has one of the best stories in the series, but each to their own. I think it's more of what this game doesn't offer compared to its ps2 counterpart as shown in the video below.

And that's just the small things

The guy that's being shot looks like Michael from GTA V.

A big F U to the previous games which I really could not get into. Good as far as I am concerned as I am really enjoying 3, and did not like the other two games.

MilkMan2811d ago

Nope. Game is dope, technical issues and all. Nothing a patch or two can't fix. My two biggest gripes? Repetitive dialog from enemies and combat can be very easy. However, like I said a few patches and these things can be resolved.
I'd rather plays a game that has a solid basis as opposed to a game that plays well but I don't know why I'm even playing it or worse yet forgettable.

* My brother played it at a friends and said it was pretty good.

They aren't the type to go on chat forums and gather opinions before playing though so they just played it and liked it as it was.

Or at least that is what he told me...it was like GTA or Saints Row kind of.

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."
