    I've been playing it for a bit. I'm enjoying it. The story is col, the graphics are great. Cut scenes are awesome. I mean I guess if you're really nitpicky there are some small issues such as clipping of certain things (dropping guys from carrying them an arm might go through a railing briefly). It's not bad though. I'll try to keep an update as I play (When I have time of course lol).

    Yeah i'm too nitpicky i don't think i'll be able to play it start-finish. bugs like those in big open world games dont really bother me too much, but the people who made mafia 1+2 literally said "hey lets get a new team to make mafia 3 so it feels fresh" and it's this teams first time making a game. I was mainly gonna get it for the nostalgia of 1/2 but that has been killed so i really don't plan on getting it now and it just seems more like "another open world game"

    Ya, the story and the era are what is making it the main positive for it. However, it's nothing overly unique. PS3 was all about FPS. PS4 era seems to be about open world games. There are some cool features and it's worth playing. I'd suggest picking it up to play eventually if you're not set on buying it for 60 bucks.

    I'll see how it plays out, one thing I'm a bit irked on is the language. I understand swearing is a common thing now a days but I just don't feel that's how people talked in the 60's. I mean the N word sure but stuff like f---, s---, b----, mother f---er etc.... I don't think that's accurate. I could be wrong though....?

    yeaht hat's how I see most open world games now, they have to be in a setting that i'm interested in. for example i'm an aussie and i go fishing a fair bit and like going out on boats/in the sun/beaches etc, so my first time playing assasins creed 4 was like "HOLY f--- I LOVE THIS WHAT THE f---!?!!?" But I know for a fact, it's pretty much just another open world game set in MA15+ pirates of the caribbean lol

    hearing really good things about the campaign. (your death screen shows your soldiers year of birth and year of death, before fading out and into a new soldier - i thought this was a cool as f--- little detail)

    That's just for the prologue, once you get into the meat of the game you just respawn when you die. It's a d--- cool feature while its in there, though, and the part where its just the two soldiers left was dope imo.

    Honestly I'll be hype for Mafia 3 when it drops it's price and fixes the bugs. I can only put up with a s--- release if it's a series I love (ie Battlefield.) I don't mind that after the first few hours the game turns into the same couple tasks plus boss fight because those tasks are mob s--- and that's what I expect in a mob game, but rn even with some of the good s--- like negotiating districts it's not worth a buy imo especially with BF1 around the corner.

    While I agree they should have focused on the gameplay, blaming it on a "bogged down narrative" seems a little far-fetched, the narrative is one of the few bright spots, without it the game is just the same level over and over after the first 5 hours or so.

    Definitely wait.

    I got back into the game tonight after receiving BF1 and Skyrim the past 2 weeks.

    At first the game seemed awesome but then the issues started showing...

    1) 2 enemies were sitting right beside each other at a bar. I snuck up behind one and did a stealth k---. Lincoln grabbed the enemy off his stool held him up and stabbed him in the back as he screamed.....the other enemy just SAT THERE didn't even react. So I stealth killed him.

    2) I was taking out an area of bad guys, decided to use a shot gun. I got one enemy in front of me and another like 10 feet away. I blow one enemy away and LITERALLY no reaction from the other enemy. I mean it was a d--- shotgun!

    3) I hijacked a car right in front of 2 officers and nothing happened.

    It's not bad but s--- like this just makes the game TOO EASY which makes me lose interest. When I was younger I'd play games on Easy but now that I'm an Adult I want some challenge. There's not much challenge here at all. I'm thinking of trying to finish it as quick as I can (no side missions just main story) and try to sell it for 40 bucks. A shame because the game looked pretty cool around E3.
