Anybody else notice that almost every gamer who had it loves it but everybody who doesn't have it talks a lot of shit about it like it just shows that it's good.
Kailen Coghlan this is EXACTLY what I was about to write!
What are you talking about my dude. The game is... Not good.
I'll get this out of the way. Yes the story is interesting as fuck and I'm only a couple hours in but the performance is shit. The graphics are underwhelming for a game like this. The 30fps cap on pc sucks dick. There's so many glitches and bugs. The AI is pretty dam bad. Don't even bother playing on normal.
I like the music, they did that correctly at least as well as the dialog.
It sucks for me to say this but I don't really like how this game turned out. The story is really good so far but with the other issues, it's just hard to fully enjoy.
I feel like if they delayed it 6-12 months it would've been even better. The gameplay and performance just doesn't do this game(story) justice at all. It hurts it.
This is a 100% unbiased opinion.
i absolutley agree with you. the atmosphere and music are top notch but gameplay, graphics and framerate.,.it's really not good at all. not to mention the many bugs it has. i can almost say it is unplayable..
i haven't touched pc gaming since 2003 back when i was almost a baby all these people complaining about graphics have modded a game in some way and shape of form to get realistic textures 4k and 100 fps and im just sitting here with my xbox 360 thinking 720p 30fps is a great feature, mafia 3 and gta 5 (xbox 360) is no exception kiss my ass PC gamers
thelonestranger777 I am having so much fun with the game. The only time the games graphics look bad for me is when I'm driving. The gameplay is just so fun to me.
I have played almost 10 hours and i have to say it is an amazing game, yes it has its problems, the frame drops and the bugs but as a whole i would highly recommend it
What system are you on? Thinking of getting it for Xbox
No Name Yeah I really loved the first 2 games, so I'm sure I'll love this one. Just kinda disappointed hearing all about the framerate and bugs and stuff
Anthony DeLuca im on xbox one, if you look past the minor bugs, you will really really enjoy it
No Name bugs are in every game more or less, just got to look past them to enjoy the experience
lol i have played 19 hours and i still haven't gotten tired of it
This game's storyline is very interesting. Even though the missions can be repetitive, it's the intriguing storyline that makes u want to keep playing
Yeah I love the way they do the story here. And Lincoln is a very good character.
Highly intelligent, and very brutal.
Now all we need is sleeping dogs 2
the patriot WORD
Shame the studio went bust😭😭
Couldn’t agree more. One of my favorite games ever!
United Front Studios had to go out of business, so that means we probably won't ever get a SD2 or at least anytime soon , sadly.
Maan i want another sleeping dog the kung fu's awesome
everyone is bitching about 30fps...
While I'm just happy to even reach stable 30fps...
lel, I can't even run fallout 4 at stable 30fps, so fuck me, right?
bitch pls, I can't run skyrim at stable 30fps.
That was me like a month ago, now i've a new computer and i hate that
30 fps lock D:
More fps is better of course ;)
But I personally don't get eye cancer from playing with 30fps after playing a 60fps game for a long time.
I just don't get it, how people wouldn't play a game, only because its 30 fps O.o
i cant even run minesweeper at 1 fps DDSDSD XXDD XD!
As a long time Mafia fan I was super excited for this game. The story is amazing, my favorite part is that Vito is in the game and some of Mafia 2's loose ends are tied up. However, for some reason I get a huge Watch Dogs feel while playing this game.
also a mafia HUUUUGE FAN the only downside i had when seeing vito in the game is thinking: "why cant i be you"
I said the exact same thing when I played it! I think it's the stealth gameplay that makes it seem like watch dogs.
ZacCoxTV Why dont you upload anymore? Ive been subed for like 2 years
How does it feel like Watch Dogs?
vipermark7 it's the stealth mechanic imo
the missions are rinse and repeat. gets old fast. but the story is great
I don't mind a repetitive task if it's amazing, and it definitely is
@Mike Hunt does that happen every time? I don't remember such glitch
Mike Hunt y’all still discussing this game? Should I get it?
@@Cswyr777 Definitely
@@andytoskovic all my friends said it sucks but I think I'm gonna get it
You know what’s sad?, that the story, setting and characters were so good and the game itself didn’t do it any justice, devs were so lazy on gameplay, all copy and paste. This game could’ve been even better but they just played it “safe” one of the best things about mafia 2 was that every day and mission was tailor made. If they would’ve gone with the same format like mafia 1 We would’ve enjoyed it more.
Thats literally the only thing wrong with the game
What about all the bugs, and how the game looks. I still get visual bugs and it baffles me that they haven't fixed theses yet. Combat is pretty engaging, on hard difficulty. The driving feels pretty good, on simulation.
I feel as if you don't do these tweaks to your game it becomes more of a boring grind. The game has too many issues that I just gave up on the story and only played for driving/Combat. And if the story was actually engaging then I wouldn't have skipped all the cutscenes. Its more like a good premise with a bad execution.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AFTER 3 YEARS IT IS STILL UNDER COOKED
It wasn’t the devs fault. 2K only gave hanger 13 2 years to make the game which was tiny
As long as it’s really engaging and immersive then I don’t mind if it’s short like mafia 2. That experience was awesome. Really liked the playboy collection thing and the music and the eras.
So basically you don’t like his game because it’s not mafia 2 in particular?
Not really good kind of critique for a game lol
Is that pastor Morgan Freeman?
yinzr yes
+Gumla Really?
no
lol why everyone keep asking that
dank memes for sale No, it's not Morgan Freeman.
I love the main character Herambe is a badass.
lol

+moondog246 I'm gonna sue your microwave...
Anyone here because of Ps Plus August 2018?
JeanPaul Diego me...
What?
MrGAMECATCanaveral you get the game free
Me
Yep
After playing around 90 hours I convinced myself that this game is actually no way near as bad as everyone depicts it and doesn't deserve many of the negative reviews.
I actually loved it and found it way better then expected (because of the negative reviews)
What I enjoyed the most:
- story
- cutscenes
- dialogues
- characters
- music
- cover system
- stealth ability
- brutal executions
- combat
- character movement and physics
- shooting
- cars
- driving
- 60s atmosphere
- lighting system
- graphics (overall are great with some important minuses)
- inventory system (call for backups, ammo, kickbacks, cut the phone lines, police dispatcher)
- the city
- police and witness detection
- and so many other details
What I really disliked:
- the cutscenes are pre rendered and don't match the weather and clothes you are wearing
- Maybe what I disliked the most: sometimes the storyline becomes hard to follow and is complicated with tons of side characters (English is not my first language, that might be a reason) and sometimes I end up confused about who's who and what am I doing and why?
- some minor bugs and system crashes (that actually were not so often)
- repetitiveness of the missions (sometimes can become dull and boring)
- blurry and washed out colors (even though the graphics were not bad overall)
I think this game would have been so damn good if it was given a little more attention, care and polish.
Overall I'd rate this game 8/10
Fairest review I've seen for this game
When the comment gives you a better review than the video.....
All I can see in comments for M3 videos:
"Too much like GTA"
"Not enough like GTA"
OldTimeGamerChannel
The only thing in this game is the wanted circle on the minimap from GTA IV
Not enough like SR
OldTimeGamerChannel what the FUCK are you saying. gta had a great story. you can't compare this repetitive shit story to gta story.
OldTimeGamerChannel you missed all the Mafia 2 is better than Mafia 3 comments. They're not wrong tho.
actually there is an option in the settings for a different driving style similar to mafia 2's
Simulation driving FTW
Thanks for telling me this, i wasnt going to buy it because driving was my favorite thing in mafia 2, but i will now.
Thank you Battle Sheep, that information is what I have been searching for, for days! I was considering not buying the game because the driving supposedly sucked according to some people. I am so thankfull for your comment, I do not know how to respond. Thank you for the comparison to Mafia 2! :D
Yeah dudes. Simulation Driving is too much better than default :=)
Free on psplus lets gooo!
This Shit is super cinematic
Yes but the graphics look very bad on my pro... looks like blurred and has some kind of oily filter to it.
that why im watching the video
Vedaant Phaterpekar same problem with my pro
Playing it right now
"Cops being a little bit overly judgy"
Understatement of the century.
PREACH
Technically it's historically accurate 💀
At least they were right in Minneapolis...
Remember that Scarface game? Its like that but with better shooting and story.
polterghost scarface is so much better than mafia 3 tbh
no mafia 2 is way better
+Brian Campuzano I don't think mafia 2 was better it was just more Mafiaish (ik that's not a word)
Yes , mafia 3 endings are amazing !
Oh man..Scarface.. Nostalgia time. I need to go download some old game torrents now. Better than buying this crapfest of a game
Things I hated about Mafia 3
1) Limited to holding only two weapons.
2) Can't customize cars like in Mafia 2
3) Your unable to change your appearance.
4) Can't interact with a lot of things like in Mafia 2. Ex. Opening the hood of your car, drinking a soda to replenish health, or being able to go to a restaurant and buy some damn food.
5) Alot of the playboy magazines are the same from Mafia 2. There's some new one's, but FUUCCKKKK!!!
3) Are you a racist?
you can change your clothes
Gazebo Oh look another racist that thinks afro-americans cannot dress good.
you can modify your car from the weapon van at a later stage in the game
+Lopata991 How is Gazebo rascist? All they said is that you are actually able to change your clothes when you play as Lincoln, not that Lincoln can't dress for shit. You sound stupid.
The developers started strong. The first hour of the game was amazing with varied missions, but after that it became a repetitive grind, i guess they just gave up.
I think at the time, where the game became repetitive, the devs were having problems to meet the deadlines
completed the story 2nd time after 2 years still found it amazing , love this game
I'm just starting. I heard get game got a lot of hate but I dont know why. I find the graphics are great, I'm not gonna call them bad because I can't do any better or anything at all related to graphics, the movement I thought felt amazing and the driving is hard but I enjoy it
@@haunteddreams7856 hey thats not how you review it like "i cant do any better" that just sounds pessimistic dud..until or unless you are an aspiring graphics engineer / designer.. You need to be confident in your judgement dude they chose to be graphic designers / engineers and thats just how it works... If they could do better you say it as it is dud
@@Hello-jm8qb ok the graphics are good, I've seen better.....
Movement is great
Repetitive missions but the actual story makes up for that
The driving to me feels fine. I have no problems with any of the cars.
He is saying the cars should be slower and harder to control like Mafia 2
The driving is closer to GTA than Mafia
Option in the menu to change the driving makes it much better.
well at least they got the speed right :/ to me it seems time appropriate
Same here man I love the driving, for me personally I find it harder than mafia 2 xD
Forgot to mention this game is repetitive as hell. No matter if you like it or not, doing the same thing over 15 hours is worth mentioning.
But isn't that for every game? What kind of games do you play? Repetition has been in games since two decades and repetition is only okay when it's done right. Some people don't mind this, and nothing's wrong with that.
Filthy Prank'd Sincerely i don't want to spoil anything. It's good enough to play it (i'm on PC, don't know how it is on console). It is repetitive in a cheap generic way of "kill unknown guys, kill their generic boss". You'll find yourself playing through main missions asking yourself "did i just play a main mission or was it a side quest for the mission?". Feel free to ignore me and enjoy the shit out of it. If you played mafia 2 you'll find yourself expecting more of what we've got out of mafia 3. That's all. No hate involved.
I agree the whole game is made up of side quests and then once you spend a shit ton of hours on these repetitve quests then you get the main story mission. Tbh I was expecting more like most of the mission are the same changing enemy factions, different boss name, and different location. Im sick of games, that have these type of missions.
I won't ignore you, and I agree with you too, I just wanted to point out that a lot of games are filled with repetition, just showed differently and can sometimes change. Its repetition is cheap in every way. I have the game on my PS4, and it's pretty good, but yeah, after Mafia II, I expected much more. Story is pretty good, but the way they made the game just seemed unfinished.
Yeah man its a good game story wise it's not a terrible game I just don't see why they have to do repetitive missions I mean the activities are boring. I didn't kind for awhile but then when you start getting up to the end it's the same shit.
Hi Jake, thanks a lot for the Before You Buy review. I just downloaded the Mafia III ps4 demo last night and it blew me away! The story, music and the driving is amazing... I'll definitely save up some money to buy the full version. PS: to fully enjoy the driving, set the driving option to simulation.
Driving is great with simulaton!
I find the driving awesome; the engine sound, the wheel spin...
The drifting is so satisfying
It sucked imo.
But I'm coming from gtav
Jonathan T gta has terrible driving
I wish they can make a street racing game that would be so cool. I prefer these physics over shitty need for speed
great video, but i totally disagree with the driving. It doesn't feel as heavy as GTA 4 and Mafia 2 , but it is far more heavy then GTA 5 and watch dogs, I feel that it's nice in the middle in between them.
about the grafiqs part I have to totally agree though. Its a mixed bag of really beautiful in doors parts but sometimes ugly textures parts outside. But i don't really care about it to be honest
true
"grafiqs"
Mr Maximum I couldn't agree more
gta 5 driving is perfect too me hahah
how?
I gotta call you out on this bro. everybody I know is playing this game, I've read a lot of reviews and reviews in progress, and I've played the game for over 25 hours so far, and everyone including myself all agree the mission structure is horrible. you literally do the same 3 missions for the whole game for some 30+ hours total. it got so repetetive, I get bored and have to leave then come back several hours later. I've never had to do that for a game before. sure it's fun, but so is bowling. ever bowled for 25 hours? it gets less fun. and I avidly defended this game, I heavily recommended it to people after I put in 10 hours, because I was still having fun then. 5 or 6 hours later, with only 6 of the 10 districts taken, I was appalled by how boring and repetetive this got. it was as bad as the original uncharted. cover, shoot shoot, cover shoot shoot. drive to location. cover shoot shoot. I feel really bad I recommended this game to people who are just now putting it on the shelf because of how boring it gets, I feel bad I made them waste thier money. i recommend waiting. a long time. at least until it's 30 dollars.
Agreed. I played for 10-15 hours or so and Im getting a little bored - Drive to a place - Kill somebody, destroy something or interrogate somebody, and repeat, and repeat, every.damn.district.
***** you clearly rushed through it. Most people's average playtime is 30 hours, and since I've got 2 more districts with just over 25 hours in, that checks out. So either you binge played and did everything, which nobody could, even reviewers could barely stand rushing it for reviews, or you just breezed through everything. Wire taps? Side quests for the bosses? Did you do everything for the rackets, or just what was needed to progress. If you truly did everything to get the full experience, you'd understand that it goes beyond repetetive, even the actual story missions have the same formula, go here, kill him. I won't belittle your opinion of the game, but it was boring as hell. I'm not saying it's not good, I'm not saying it's not fun, but most games are ok to sit down and play for 4 hours straight, this one not so much. Like I said, I are the mistake of recommending it too early, and I regret it. I highly recommend waiting to people, as visually, story wise, the game is worth 60. Gameplay wise, it's barely 30. Obviously they put a lot of work in it, but the only word that comes to mind is lazy. The way they took the same 3 missions, and literally re labeled them over 50 times. I'm sorry, this was not what is expected of a open world game in 2016. And it was boring.
Jay Clark well thanks for this. I don't think I will be buying this game until the price drops
Jay Clark thanks a lot
Had a hunch this was the case
Dude the purpose of that is too dismantle Sal Marciano's criminal empire
Mafia 2 is still the best game ever
Fuck yeah
Mafia 1 hasnt aged well at all. The story is great, but the graphics, animation, textures, environments and gameplay are outdated. Mafia 2 on the other hand has aged much better since its not as old and its much more graphically pleasing. Plus, Mafia 2's mechanics are way smoother and not clunky like Mafia 1's.
@@mortezahesamzadeh556 No its not. I already explained why Mafia 1 is NOT the best in my previous comment you dumbass. If you can't read, thats NOT my problem.
@Not my President The Last Of Us is a fantastic game but its a completely different genre and type of game from Mafia II. Thats like comparing Mario Kart to Call Of Duty. Two completely unreleated games. If you gonna compare Mafia II to another game, at least compare it to a similar type of open world game......
@Not my President TLOU is the better game. Im not arguing that. But again, I personally dont feel its a fair comparison just because the games are totally different categories. Also, theres so many amazing games that have been made since the dawn of time that its hard to just narrow it down to only one. Thats why people have a top 10, top 20, top 50 or top 100 list.
I really enjoy it. It has flaws, but the story is great, the soundtrack is amazing, the gunplay and combat feels crunchy and satisfying, and with the patches and DLC , it's a good, solid game.
This guy does know that there is a simulation driving option in the game, right?
+Zac Davis yeah. It's still not that good.
I mean i understand where you're coming from, but I'm just REALLY hooked on this game. By the way, thanks for replying!
how do I turn that setting on i don't see many setting for anything I got it on ps4
John cham I think its in the pause menu
found it thanks
If you want better car driving, then just switch to simulation goddamnit!
I know I noticed that in the settings and switched it
That setting was also in Mafia II, which i think is a nice choice to have.
The thing he forgot to mention is there is no fast travel in mafia 3 so you basically have to drive all over the map to different objectives, so if the driving not smooth, it can get aggravating. I remember having to drive for 10 - 30 mins in mafia 2 cause like he said the car were slow and that definitely sour the thrill to a hit on someone.
It's a cool option to have that
does it really fix it I never played but want to buy it
The driving looks like simpsons hit and run
@The Executer It's a picture, if you can see it, it's working. They don't really do anything else.
It’s a blue towel on a broomstick and it’s laying on a table look closely
Yea the vehicle handling was terrible
I honestly thought your profile pic was a vagina. Had to double check.

This game reminds me of Scarface: The World Is Yours, damn that game was awesome for the PS2

Aaron Martin
Exactly, people would do anything for money
You left out the fact that it doesn't have the accessible gas stations that were in Mafia, or you can't get anything from civilians at all, like what's the point wasting ammo on them if you get nothing from them? otherwise yes the story is good, I just feel like they focused too much on the story and left out some very basic elements like the ones I listed. Mafia 2 and Mafia 1 are still a hell of a lot better IMO. But I really don't think it deserves the backlash it's getting though. Also I find it retarded that there are stores you can go into but you can't get anything from them, there only there to rob? What???? it's like, they forgot almost.
This game wasn't made by 2k Chezch who used to make the older, beautiful mafia games
Kevin Porth Mafia 2 was repetitive
Jay W. and mafia 3 isn't? Every mission is the same. Do damage to a racket, kill he boss.
Nevermind the fact that they said in the beginning of the game, that you'd attract the attention from cops for breaking traffic laws, nope, not fucking true! This game is an atrocity!!!
true, in the mafia one wen we had a one police car aside... wont forget that real feeling.
You can change the driving settings and it may improve it. Personally i love the shooting in the game, it feels realistic and has weight to it
Gosh THANK YOU!!! I've been scrolling through videos trying to get overviews of the game, and dude, you're just so straight forward!
I played Mafia 3 it is the best game I have played for the whole year
I've been playing it all day and all night
thats kinda sad considering the whole game was a let down
second best, I think Uncharted 4 is still a bit better, third place for Deus ex and 4th Doom
Uncharted 4 for me followed by Hitman. Dishonored 2 didn't come out yet, I think that's gonna beat all three (I'll get Mafia III after I play the shit out of Dishonored 2)
your opinion is subjective
This Lincoln guy reminds me of Connor from Assassins Creed 3

I know this is an old comment, but I agree with you completely. Both biracial, both are like a foot taller than everyone else, and both of them are completely savage. And not in the bad way.
This game is like “side mission: the game”
well, I'm absolutely inlove with doing the same mission over and over and over and over again
Pros
-Great story - You care about the characters, and really want to make the antagonists pay
-Great setting - New Orleans is rarely ever used in video games, and this game uses it's feel and uses it well
-Great Music - Older music is always fun and settling.
-Combat system is fun. Using stealth is very pleasing
-Lots of hours needed to beat the game
-Wide Variety of Weapons
Cons
-Very repetitive game play - Older GTA mission feel.
-Graphics are only decent - graphical errors here an there
-The map, although big, doesn't feel free. You're either blocked off by Crocodile filled water, or fences too large for you to climb
-No fast travel - For a big map, you'd think they would've made a fast travel system. NOPE
-Only a few cars are worth even driving - Also, when you wreck, everything goes crazy and weird.
Rating: 6.9 out of 10 - It's worth the 60 dollars, but if you're unsure, wait till it drops to 40
RedlegFan19 thank you, im trying to find sombody who will give me an educated point of view on the game. you are my hero
BrockTheElephante OfWisdom did you but I did and I feel that the racing was the most fun after the main story
I bought it for $15 just now on the PS store, hopefully I like it.
RedlegFan19 I loved mafia 3 but I still found this comment extremely fair

I wanted to play Mafia II back when it came out but I never ended up playing more than the demo just because it wasn't on the top of my list of games to get and I was on a budget. However, I picked up Mafia III because I love storyline centered games and it looked very intriguing to me (also the writing is just fantastic, which is what I look for in movies, books, etc.). Upon having played it now since like the day after it came out, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the action. I love games that do it all out with the gore and violence and all the stealth kills and assassinations Lincoln can do (I feel) really pulls you into the grittiness of a man with so much hatred around him exacting out his vendetta on those who robbed him of everything. Not an expert reviewer or anything like you guys are but I thought it was a 10/10 in my book. Plus, I mean, who doesn't love executing Klan members with an AK, right?
mafia 2 was way better than mafia 3 trust me i played both was little disappoint on mafia 3
Personally, I loved the game. I've played it through twice. It definitely represents the period and has solid game play. I'd love to see more games just like this.
Yeah
Great vid, but my biggest con to mafia 3 that wasn't mentioned was the lack of activities to do, you cant buy food or drink, get a shoeshine, order food at a diner, play with the jukebox, car wash, gas station, cops dont give tickets they just shoot u, and YOU CANT SAVE CARS!!
Blame 2K who pushed the game out before it got finsihed. Now all of those things will be released in update. Maybe some of the things won't but in next Mafia will.
-- So basically... Immersion =] or as MxR would say "Immersive as fxk". That aside, I think people are enjoying Survivor Sims more and more where Eating and Sleeping actually effect you and/or benefit you.

Can you rob stores like in mafia 2? Buy food from takeaways and cafes? Are there gun stores? Can you fill petrol in cars again at gas station? Can you buy clothes like suits in mafia 2?
Dani Wiseguy No to all your questions it's a good game but so far in my opinion it's not better then mafia 2. I'm still playing M3 some of the missions can be repetitive but overall it's a good game I give it a 8/10 while mafia 2 was a 11/10 lol
No to all my questions??? WTF have the developers been doing for the past few years wanking? Fuck sake seems like all you can do is missions and free roaming seems very boring and btw mafia 2 was 11/10 best game i ever played!
Dani Wiseguy well you can rob stores but it's not the same as it was in Mafia 2. I was a bit disappointed with not able to customize cars and change clothes. Working with Vito gives you that mafia 2 feel a little bit
Yeah but vito is a grandad pensioner now hardly a wiseguy.......
Dani Wiseguy yeah well he only 43 years old and he's not much of a wise guy because they took everything away from Vito when Leo exiled him
I just started and finished this game in 2021, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Are missions rinse and repeat? Sure but they also have their own unique story behind them. My theory/opinion is that most were put off by the realism of the times regarding race issues. Lots of N-word being thrown around and certain races being portrayed in a not so great, but again realistic for its time, kind of way. I’m gonna try out the dlc since it’s free at the time of this posting.
the dlcs were a lot of fun. i played all of them
In 2022 this game kinda slaps honestly
I just started playing this last week. I love the soundtrack!
Bad frame rates and graphics= bad game. Yeah its definitely 2016
rare pepe I like the graphics
I personally don't mind graphics that much, but paying for an unoptimized product doesn't feel good.
rare Pepe graphics are good(if u play it,you won't say them bad at all),the shadows are great and while playing you will feel like ur in a 1960's drawing.
rare pepe it also has a terrible repetitive story. It feels like a chore to play this game.
mediocre graphics, bad fps

"Dont buy it now - wait for devs to fix this broken garbage full of bugs and poor optimalisation."
Hope I saved your time...
That's not a summary of the video.
Thanks fam
It should be.
"Don't buy it at all".
Just watch some walkthrough on CZcams.
Game implementation by the devs doesn't deserve to be paid.
you serious ? i haven't played it yet.. preordered it though. but this looks fucking awesome
Thanks so much for this video. Amongst the negatives you pointed out I want to add the fast travel: It doesnt exist lol. Fortunately the map is small, but it can be annoying because some missions have you go here, only to go there, only to go here and there and at the end, you HAVE to go all the way across the map to reconvene. It wouldve been nice for a fast travel at this point. Not a game breaker and I love the story and game but just an annoyance I wanted to mention,.
As always, thanks for making these informative videos. You guys are awesome!!
As someone who was raised on old school I LOVE this game, whilst the driving is a little off (although remember these are for vehicles in the 1960's) i love how the cats look and the little touches in the game (like advertising for the cars in Playboy magazines). My only complaint is that the controls dont feel as smooth as I think a next gen game should and that for some reason the crocodiles dont attack you aswell
This was a really excellent review! I have played mafia since the first (along side every GTA) and I have always loved it for its differences to gta. I feel you've nailed it in the review. The only thing that I would add is the controls are odd and not intuitive. I found myself having to pause and look up how to do things like change the view when driving which interrupted the feel of the game. The first driving scene with the van/truck and the default driving view I felt I couldn't see....i totally agree re the driving. It reminded me of my disappointment when driving in watch dogs. Still it's early days and I'm sure that unlike watch dogs I won't give up on it and the story will overtake these minor disappointments.
No Name thanks. Give it time it's a only been 20 minutes. Besides, if someone reads it or not doesn't bother me. :)
René Skyggebjerg hi there. Yes I eventually found it. I like it too.
simulated driving is the best
at least Mafia have an undeniably good story. Unlike watchdogs, total disappointment from graphics to story.
Dom Hawtin us it alot like the godfathers? Cause i love those games
I wonder if this game will take the Guinness World Record for the amount of times the N-word is used in a video game. Mafia 2 is holding one for the most amount of times the word "fuck" is used, after all.
HelloChief117 they are trying to set records
HelloChief117 It probably will
Do you mind explaining the difference then? Because what you're saying is that "banana" with a british accent means something else than "banana" with an american accent.
borderlands10 Thx for explaining it to him.
Shit, someone had to explain it. Although they might just dismiss it by saying that I'm white and therefore can't know anything about the word. That would be a foolish thing to say, why it would almost be... racist to say that.
Just downloaded this ready for when i finish ghost recon wildlands which should be this week. Is it worth a play through?
I thought the driving was fine. Did you use the simulation controls or did you use normal driving. there are 2 modes. I spin out in the boats enough especially cause the turns come you quick, if you watch mini map close like I do. they seem far off, then oops I've locked up my brakes lost control n hit something.
I've been loving it so far. The only thing I actually think is worth complaining about is the repetition but other than that I really like it.
tyler moran I'm enjoying it, it has issues but nothing's perfect. I'm playing it on ps4, and I have noticed some ridiculous glitches such as the light and dark fluctuates so badly, sometimes you turn the camera and it becomes night time ffs 😂 and some basic things such as mirror reflections don't show your character just make the game feel a little half done..
Lol I was driving (ps4 too) and it went dart-light-dark-light, it was kinda enoying
tyler moran The only thing i'm comlpaining about is that they should have included customization when the game was released instead of making it a free dlc. Also, the game just feels like they didn't work on polishing it.
tyler moran graphics are amazing but the repetition gets a little annoying. still super fun to play though
1:39 Morgan Freeman?
JUST TAKE MY GODDAMN MONEY!
John Bo I thought it was souja boy?
John Bo yes specially the head size is smith
about to be free on ps4 so this helped a lot, thank you
If it’s free then why wouldn’t you just play it? Lol. Anyway, did you like it?
I actually really loved this game. Got the collector's edition for 30€ because it sold so poorly. The story, music and atmosphere are so great and I really enjoyed the gameplay. It lacked on variety, but I was pretty much okay with that.
TIP. If you want it because of Mafia 2, do not buy it. it's a HUUGE dissapointment
Graphics aren't everything I mean look at CoD 2 it was a great game and its graphics were meh
Without spoiling it, did they at least give some kind of closure for what happened to Joe? I played Mafia 2 when it came out and replayed it a bunch and I instantly wanted a Mafia 3 when I beat it the first time. Damn cliffhangers XD
I appreciate the input man :) I was honestly a bit disinterested in buying it since it seemed like they were basically demoting Vito and making him a sideline character. But that's good to hear you get to do more than just give him territories to run for you. And I hear that about the guns. WWII and cold war era are my favorite types of firearms.
Exactly my words !
the main missions are so fucking repetitive, and they also feel like they are side quests
You can switch driving style in the game menu
You could change the driving mechanic in the options menu from a more arcade feel or a driving simulation feel 😊
Thank you ! Keep it up! You guys have saved me time and money on many occasions and I really appreciate you!
Well, you actually advertised the game instead of what title misleading means.
We've been doing these for over a year. It's a review style video. If we like the game, that doesn't mean it's an advertisement.
What I meant is that from the title I thought I will hear many of disappointing problems that game has, as well as that the game's graphics are nothing like the trailer, or expectations. But u have a nice flow on talking.
Actually it kinda does. And this advertisement is just as misleading.
This game is a dumb down Mafia 2 not a beefed up mafia 2!
Mafia 2 had more too do, Better particle and other FX. Better Ai and the list goes on.
Mafia 2 felt like a mafia game. Mafia 3 is a repetitive piece of shit that looks and plays like a beta at best.
what about the repetitive missions??
"Not that graphically demanding' Can Intel HD 4400 run this?
how do I us my pre order stuff I just started playing and can't get none off the content
Great review I loved this game, hope there is a a 4th chapter and can’t wait to play the collection in August 👍👍👍
What game doesn't have a rocky release these days
Elijah Elliott-Ebanks FIFA 17 didn't
Not hard for FiFa when making the same game for around 20 years :P
Overwatch.
uncharted 4 overwatch
Every nintendo game?
I started playing the game and, as a longtime Mafia fan, I think is great. I just don't understand why the game's developers decided to give the weapons different names from the ones they have in real life. Do you know how weird it is to see the Kalashnikov (AKM) being called Pasadena (as if it was invented in the US)? Or the Colt 1911 as Masterson (sounds like a name more suitable for a credit card company)?
It's because of licensing - they have to pay fees to the arms manufacturers to use their real names. That's why so many games have generic names for real life weapons like GTA V just has 'combat rifle' or whatever for an M4. Big AAA games like COD and Battlefield spend a decent amount of their budget just to get permission to use real gun names.
Thanks for a solid, honest and efficient review. I was on the fence... until now.
I like how on the boat heist at the start it played born to be wild
You don't understand why they would have a 30fps cap for PC version? Really? It's because they just ported the console code straight to PC son!
yep
that's why the game crashes more on consoles than on pc
Actually, since the patch dropped, I can't get 60 FPS on a 980TI with low settings so clearly it's not that great of a port.
Khinzaw Thein Really? Wow, that's sad considering how mediocre the graphics are.... But I guess this should have been expected considering it's coming from a noob dev and all.
thx for this video, it convinced me to buy the game
Wait can someone explain do you work with the mafia or against them or what?
Just got this on discount in Nairobi this month. Thanks Jake
I literally ALWAYS watch this AFTER I buy the game (while it downloads). I need to stop that, I've been sad multiple times..
They turned Mafia into a GTA clone
A boring and stupid one aswell
Mafia was always a GTA clone
LOL
No, It's more like an Assassin Creed clone w/o climbing.
no is not !
6:22 it's me when the radio starded playing ring of fire
2 years ago and 2 likes
m2 had that great transition between time periods as well as seasons.. and hence the effect it had on driving as well as the whole car customisation side to it (which really did affect how the minor details performed)... m3 taking that out, making it more standardised - sorta put me off playing the game, however in saying that, m2 finishes on the story and there really wasn't much open world gameplay after, which is what m3 sorta fixed..
I like the game very much, it's fun as hell. Stealth, shooting and brutal takedowns are amazing. Slightly bad graphics, bugs and missing fast travel option are the only cons I can think of.
I love this game, amazing weapon use & graphics, the story is believable and makes you feel as if your actually in this time era. It's an engaging game, beautifully put together
I'm here 5 years later just bought and started playing mafia 3 and am very much enjoying it. I'm actually still on the first mission and its on easy with the aim assist on but i can already see and feel the quality of this game. Thanks for the tip on buying this one. Mafia 2 on ps3 is next on my list👍
Love your videos/commentary Jake!
I have a question to everybody that bought Mafia 3 and/or 2.
Have you ever played /seen/heard of Mafia 1?
Of course I am an older gamer. First mission taxi driving. I played that game with 4 of my friends and we all talked about it in my country. Mafia 1 was THAT popular.
Yea watch out for guy in black trench coat
Yep. Loved the game. Id still play it today, on PC though with mods to make the game more interesting because the game doesn't have certain features that i didn't enjoy. I also loved Tommy's story the best, better than 2 and 3 imo
Nope
Yes, and no it is not better than 2
I played a demo of this 1 month ago and honestly I couldn't stop replaying it my girlfriend is getting it for my birthday this month and I'm more excited then I've been all year and this video really helped me decide on if I truly would like it or not
what console does the dlcs come out first
As a long time Mafia fan that is kinda enjoying 3 I can even admit that Mafia 3 was released way Way to early the games clearly not finished and was just shuffled out the door I mean not giving out review copy's ? Pretty Shady
And can someone reply telling me if they can fix these problems or is to much to fix
+ScotchGaming (Scott Prentice) they are going to fix some (like lack of customization) but the thing about graphics and AI is a lot . i dont think they can fix it . don't listen to some people who only talk bad of mafia iii . i preordered it and i love it . played about 10-15 hrs only crashed once . (xbox one) . it's not the best game coming this year . but still a decent game .
+Ali shariaty I've got it as well & yeah I'm really intrigued and enjoying the story & world but my games crashed 4 times the graphical bugs like the sun & sky is off putting & blinding at times. Also if I go on Netflix or CZcams quickly it turns off the sound on Mafia 3. It's really heartbreaking cause I've loved the Mafia series for years & have looking forward to this since it was announced
ScotchGaming It's like they were thinking that if you wanted to know what the game was like you'd have to buy it.
ali shariaty are you a Persian? Anyway I should say they ported badly on the PC and people are talking about PC . But I'm sure if you had a play on mafia one, this one was shameful for you.
Absolutely spot on. I loved Mafia III as a mafia fan, but it has severe issues. 7.5/10 is the perfect score for it.
When I played it was buggy. I got stuck in a mission where I had to get in a specific car but whenever I touched the car it floated away, resultingly if I went too far away I failed the mission
Hey never found this series before, nice work! Great content :)
Btw 30 fps cap are done most time because of pirate games. Kinda "buy the game if you want to play 60fps soon"
Almost every time games hit the shelves at the same time they are pirated, so it's maybe a good move. Since for buyers it will change soon.
when u mentioned the songs it really piqued my interest... i almost want to buy it just for that
Wait till its on sale
this is funny because for some reason they picked all the songs which I really hate and put it in mafia 3 lol
Yeah the game out had a great foundation. Great story, location and boss fights were cool. But shit graphics. Also wish they added things in the game to make it more dynamic.
Nut in cut scens the graphics were gareat
I love this game, I got all the DLC and most trophies, I find Lincoln’s story amazing and the gameplay is really fun, not to mention the amazing soundtrack full of Creedance and the Stones. And u even get the grow weed.
I got a good strategy to play this game when it comes to assigning your districts. It starts by making your first racket assignment, because this means that this is who you are going to give the district to. Give it to anyone of your choice but from there on out just keep assigning the rackets until you have the sit down. at this point do not give that person another district. give any other one the district. once you have given the second district give the third district you get to the person that has been neglected the previous 2 sit downs. then keep repeating this process and you will have a balanced game.
I hate all this "gamer vision" shit, I don't want to be able to see through walls. No one can see through walls. It's the most un-immersive mechanic ever. If I'm playing a game set in the fucking 60s, I don't want to have high tech cancer support mechanics. It defeats the challenge of stealth games.
Nuggets I know it's not realistic, but they said it was because the character was in the army, and he can tell where people are by sound. I do kinda get annoyed as well that so many games do it for seemingly no reason other than for convenience, but at least this one has its reason
It would be nice if you had the option to switch it off..
Nima In some games, it makes sense, not this one though.
Nima just don't use it
Nima "high tech cancer support mechanicas". You sir should be a poet.
