    Re: Mafia 3

    I'm waiting for the final expansion in late July before playing any of the three as I figure that I could just go from one to the next until completion.

      Re: Mafia 3

      Started this up again earlier today after not playing for a couple months. The lighting is still horrible(ps4) and the game crashed after about 10 minutes. Even though I purchased the deluxe edition with season pass I will not be playing this again.

          I need to get back into this game. Stopped after beating the story, haven't played any of the DLC. Same goes for Watch Dogs 2.

            Re: Mafia 3

            When this first came out I played it, and it kind of fell by the wayside due to too many other good games coming out (mostly WD2, I loved that game) and the fact I just couldn't really get into it. I don't know why, the story seemed good and compelling, but there was just something I couldn't put my finger on that didn't draw me in.

            About a month ago I tried to play it again, got further than I did the first time, but once again, it just lost my interest. I've picked up Fallout 4 again and started playing that instead. I don't know what it is, but I want to really like this game, the story, the music, the era, is all good...but I don't know what killed the mood for me.

              The story in this game is very interesting and held my attention, but the gameplay just feels like you're doing a bunch of busy work. That's honestly what's kept this one on the back burner for me so long -- I just don't want to actually play the game. I'd like to complete it at some point to see how everything works out, but that's not looking very good if I haven't done it yet. Maybe I'll just Youtube it eventually and just watch it like a movie.

                I traded it in almost 2 months ago. Could never bring myself to complete the story, and lost interest in general.

                Mafia 2 felt much more special to me and I loved it. This one, not so much.

                  Sign of The Times DLC is a solid 10 out of 10 for me. Hands down one of the best DLCs in the past 2 years. That plot twist.........oh man, so wasn't expecting that.

                    I feel that. A very limited variety of missions and severe lack of side-missions/jobs/hobbies held this game back a bit. A lot of the things that tend to make Grand Theft Auto so great push Mafia 3 in the opposite direction due to their absence.

                    I feel like this game just skimmed its potential. There's a lot of great ideas and contributions here - 1960's New Orleans is such a cool concept, the presence of racial tension, the soundtrack. I just don't know if things were ever effectively fleshed out.

                    The absence of little things added up quickly for me. New Orleans looks awesome but it almost never feels alive. It's like I was in New Orleans but couldn't do anything in New Orleans. Look at the St. Louis Cathedral but don't go inside. Visit Bourbon St. but don't expect to see a lot of people or the ability to enter into more than one bar on the stretch. Visit the bayou but don't take part in whatever it is people in the bayou do.

                    I completed the game (I enjoyed moving on to new areas and destroying bad guys with ease) but I admit it was a grind at various points. In addition, I set myself up to believe that completing side tasks (finding all the magazines or electrical components) would yield some kind of cool unlockable or reward but no dice, not even an achievement. As a result, once I completed the story, I don't think the game has been turned on since.

                      I hope they think a lot before they get to start creating the next game. If they don't understand what was wrong with this game, maybe they better not make another one.

                        Re: Mafia 3

                        The problem with Mafia 3 and quite a few other games lately is the fact the best aspects of the game, they leave out of the base game and put in the DLCs. Ghost Recon Wildlands was the same way, so was Watch Dogs 2. The 3 DLCs add so much more depth to the game. With the 3 DLCs, I would give Mafia 3 a 9.5 out of 10. Two of the DLCs story lines were better then most games entire game.

                        Where Mafia 3 fails IMO is the lack of ownership. Sure you can rebuild Sammy's Bar, but you can't make income off of it. Sure you can build a pot farm, but you limited to that one farm and can't expand it to multiple farms. I also feel the money you get from the underbosses in the form of kickbacks is way too low. It would have benefited the game if you were able to buy businesses throughout the entire map, upgrade the business or hell upgrade the entire neighborhoods.

                        But to me, it seem like this time around, their main focus for this game was the story, which I'm fine with that because it was one hell of a good story. Maybe next game they can have both, a good story and a true sense of ownership with some sort of empire building.

                          Re: Mafia 3

                          To me, the problem with Mafia 3 was that it lacked all the attention to details that Mafia 2 and 1 had. And something was missing about the atmosphere. They created a nice 1960's world, but it was lacking. Mafia 2's world was so much better - in every way. It's like Mafia 2 was a PS4 game and Mafia 3 was a PS3 game.

                          Never finished the game, so I can't say much about the story (which was great according to...everyone), but story doesn't matter to me if the game as a whole is just missing so many touches. You can have the greatest story ever written, and I wouldn't care about it.

                          Unlike many here, I prefer a game with amazing gameplay, world, atmosphere and details - but with average story. For me the story just can't hold it together, if everything else is lacking.

                          Terrible AI, lighting effects and physics were just more reasons why this game was bad.

                          It's like the studio who created the game was told to drop everything that made previous titles great. "Just do the opposite, and be sure to release it before it is finished" (none of the patches mattered to me).

                              I just played the demo and really like the game. Wish I had seen the deal before, but will wait for the next amazing sale.
