I'll just add some other clips of the game to this thread aswell. So people can see what this game is for many players.

Many of these videos have been posted in these forums before. But also many people haven't been reading the forums before now. So it does not hurt posting them again. I think people have the right to know what they spend their money on. If they still want to pay 60$ after they know of all the issues, fine by me. But these videos show why this game had a review embargo to begin with.

reported btw. You simply can't discuss without calling others names, a good sign you have already lost, end therefor actually don't deserve an answer, and this is also my final answer to you. From now on you are being ignored.

When the final sales from Mafia 3 is revealed, i will link it. You will then see that this game has sold a LOT more on consoles than on PC. My best guess is maximum 15% on PC. I could not care less about your arguments, i am talking about this game, you are bringing in a industry as a whole, just to underline your arguments. You failed, i won. Look forward to the link.

report this "f.uck you" as well, what a child. now since you altered my quote with this kids act, i haven't read your reply since you don't even worth arguing with, i rest my case with you being a complete idiot and stupid.

[Shredder]

a 'burp' is just as good as a 'snip' to abbreviate quoted stuff. No one reads them anyway.

Let the rage flow, kids!

lol. You just lost it and ran of the tracks didn't you?
OP has valid points, and you just can't handle it. Must be hard being a fanboy of a failing game.

are you stupid or what?! the argument was about pc games sales as OP says its crap compared to consoles and he is totally wrong, we both agree that the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimized and aint worth it, review the comments history, sigh....

[jawohl]

5.8 is a liitle bit low. i enjoyed the game... sure not the best out there but i give it a 7,5

Some in-progress reviews from renowned critics

Rock, Paper, Shotgun
Oct 9, 2016
*So far what I’ve experienced has been decidedly mediocre at best, farcical broken AI at worst. It feels like an open-city game from at least five years ago, possibly ten, in presentation, depth and delivery. That it runs at 30FPS is the least of its present problems, because at 60 and 90 its early hours will still be a bland, dated derivative of GTA. It’s going to have to significantly step up, introduce some novel and intriguing new elements, or at the very least embolden its story to the point where it has something meaningful to say, for it to recover itself in my eyes.

Mafia 3 isn’t the best open-world game I’ve played, but it certainly isn’t the worst so far. My review, which you can read next week, will be much more in-depth, but I still haven’t fully decided what I think of it yet. I know I don’t hate it, but I’m not sure if I love it either.



IGN

I really love the big, story-driven missions where you confront and kill one of the major characters along your rampage of revenge. Particularly awesome was one that took place in a creepy abandoned theme park that was partially flooded. Sneaking through various attractions and getting into gunfights in a carousel was original, memorable, and a ton of fun...That being said, the path to these big encounters isn’t nearly as exciting.

Unfortunately, I was less impressed with Mafia III's gameplay, which is mostly unremarkable--at least during the game's very earliest portions. As with most third-person open-world games, much of the action consists of running, shooting, and driving. At first, I found Lincoln's basic movements to be relatively clunky and imprecise. Similarly, I found the aiming slow and unresponsive even when I attempted to increase the analog stick's sensitivity.



Forbes has given the game 81/100 score on Xbox.
Gameblog.fr has given the game a 50/100 score on PS4.

Reviews are coming in.

I wonder why

At its heart, Mafia 3 is a simple story of revenge, but its actors sell it to you with gusto, and the linear prologue does a great job of getting players invested. Unfortunately, as soon as you’re out in the open-world and you’re free to roam, it becomes a repetitive slog, not least because when you’re doing the same thing on repeat, it only serves to highlight the limitations of the rest of the game.

Is not there.


But there are tons of others. Sadly alot of them "not all" don't care to down right talk about the boring story, instead it become "its simple revenge story" "but lets not get in trouble with the political statement, so its still good acting, setting, etc" type of writing,

If you look at the userscore (3.2) atm its not just about 30 fps, bad optimzation. this is a awful game. yet when I wrote about this before release, I was mass for flamed for saying this about the GOTY

I've said this days before release, but people gutted me for saying it and labelled me all kind of things.. (thats even when one of my only pro's was the apperance of the main char)

But Mafia (started out as a pc game, that ported to console) are not just a shallow avg console game, that ports to pc to gain a quick buck.. I mean they lured with political statements and alot of Americans took the bait.. These same people are the ones that still defend the game (alot has conceded to my old arguements)


What people don't understand is that when you support stuff liket his you help support.

More console ports
More avg games
More political statements (games with that as the catalysator) rather than gameplay


So this does not just affect those that buy the game, also the other pc buyers..

It tells its story well, with smart writing and some superb characterisation that elevate its simple revenge plot. Ultimately, however, it never capitalises on its open world potential, instead succumbing to an almost constant lull of tediously unimaginative repetition that makes for a boring and dated open-world shooter.

IGN are payed reviewers so no gamer consider their review

I don't care about reviews and metacritic personally. You can form your own opinion if you play the game by yourself.

Everyone has different taste. Sure the game is not the burner, but it's enjoyable. Maybe they're going to fix the textures and AI who knows?

Looking at the publisher the game wont get patched at all and they don't care and have never cared about pc users (They wanna control the console marked)

Sure as I said reviews and userscore are just that, but still even without that most people didnt buy this becuase its an awful game, the few I have seen said they like it never actually arguement about why and when I arguement on the opposite they seem to dissapear. thats odd right?

There's never a good patch for bad A.I.

I'll skip it.
