    I'm more impressed that you have 150 hours to find for game time

    Apparently I'm not allowed to criticise a game but also like it at the same time. Ya'll should be game journalists.

    I thought it was kinda daft to state they will never crunch, when they are developing one of the most ambitious titles in development today. ?‍♂️

    It's well worth the asking price. Don't let my criticisms change your mind. I'm enjoying myself a lot playing it, but those are the glaring issues I have with it. Keep in mind I've never played the first Mafia, only Mafia 2.

    5 hours ago, blackdog said: I was already pretty much of the idea, but after Dux's "review" I'm definitely not getting this at full price. And maybe never. I'd rather keep my good memories of when I played it back then.

    I'll install Mafia 2 Definitive since they were so kind to upgrade my copy, hoping it runs decent (the original seemed to have the same CPU single thread bottleneck of Crysis).

    Gave it a quick blast last night before bed. Pretty good!

    My major criticisms/thoughts:

    The car chase stuff is weird, it plays the game for you with those checkpoint things you go through. Why don't the developers trust me to drive my car through a narrow gap or over a jump? I gotta watch a quick cutscene instead then be dumped back into the game in whatever direction I was pointing the car before the cutscene. "NO FUN ALLOWED WE DO THE STUNT DRIVING HERE!"

    The faces look fucking weird man. I can't get past it. Serious uncanny valley shit going on here. Wouldn't be so bad if the game didn't have a lotta close ups. "Yeah lets just make the faces really flat, bright, and basically just make it look like they are robots wearing rubber skin." (I know there were probably issues and or reasons for why it looks like this, but still, sloppy. The game has the camera in peoples faces A LOT, this shouldn't be an issue, it should be something we are going "wow, nice faces!")

    Why does my dude stand in the idle pose like he shit his pants? Look at him, he stands really weird with his hands out and legs sorta bent. Looks broken.

    The part where my two boys get shot and beat up in like chapter 3 or whatever in that house. I went in and abused the system. Stood upstairs, in a room, pressed Q to win on a guard, made a noise doing it so everyone else came upstairs to see what was goin on. I hid in a side room, with the door open. Eventually guards would wonder in and I'd press Q to win on them. I repeated this for all the guards, probably 8 to 10 of them. Each one came up and I pressed Q. Takes me back to that other really easy console game for housewives and pre-teens, Overwatch.

    This is a console port, the keyboard bindings are god awful terrible.

    Solid 60fps on maximum maximum full power details.

    Good voice acting.

    No real rewards for exploration that I've noticed so far. Like walking up the stairs in the back of your boss mans restaurant. Second time I walked up the stairs (first time was blocked) I was like "bet there's gonna be a cool collectable or something up here now." There was sweet fuck all. What's the point? Just keep it blocked instead of enticing me with sweet possibilities.

    I was too late with the first mafia, thought it was a clunky awkward ancient mess with a great aesthetic and setting. I really wanted to like it as I loved mafia 2. Will deffo give this one a go.

    If this means that Todd stops releasing broken, buggy games, then great.

    I'm gonna get hated on, but I'm just gonna come out and say it. It looks like a unity asset flip game. What happened after Serious sam 1 and 2? Those games had great art direction.
