Mafia 3 Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" - 60fps Added to PC version Now Score Same 

I wonder if Luis Fernando Lopez ever got this much hate... Let me think.. No... Is that character black?... Yes... Is a game shitty for capping FPS shitty? I'd say yes again. Franklin Clinton... Everybody is OK with that.......Now Is the game on PC ok? I think not. 30 FPS cap? What the actual FFFF? Muddy textures that look like the entire game is being rendered at 720p and then upscaled higher resolution. Giving it the bad picture quality.

thanks for another good review ACG. you have my respect good sir.

he was dominican basically hispanic

that made no fucking sense at all

having both easily

that's because so many people preorder regardless. Their game will shift millions of copies whether it's ass or not. Sad really.

TheTjam84 ***** Which is exactly why I don't preorder, nor buy any game until it's heavily discounted and patched to the point where it's not broken. And that would explain why the newest AAA games in my library are no less than a year old... That's depressing to think about... At least there indie games, which (for the most part) don't suffer the poorly-optimized fate that a lot of their bigger-budgeted brethren suffer.

*mafia 2 was good*

horizon zero dawn looks very optimised in graphics, just need it to come out for Acg to do a review

I recently finished Mafia 2 for the first time and I enjoyed it a lot.

Always looks too good to be true, why I've stopped pre-ordering

It's fun as hell though. and I haven't had any bugs

Can consumers stop pre-ordering / buying on launch day :(

you're a dipshit

LOl this was my first pre-order, probably my last too.

What bothers me even more is that they already were working on a patch? I mean that means that as dev they weren't at all worried about LAUNCHING with that issue but at the same time knew it was important. That shows some next level balls

ACG Yup, lets just get this shit out there & we will worry about the patches later lol wtf kind of mentality is this???

ACG NOW it won't let me download Gears 4 off the Microsoft store! says I own but won't let me download

That store bug killed me. I had to download it elsewhere(another drive) them fucking move it hahahaha. I am not laughing at you. I literally am not sure how that store even works

Same here dude, both my friend and I are unable to download it. His reset back to zero when his download reaches 100% and mine just resets to zero when I pause or stop the download. Not to mention the fact it won't let me initiate the download now.

+subject_17 me as well

Dewd Soup Sleeping Dogs was True Crime Hong Kong

PLANET RRR yes, I am aware of that.

10 ₩

Sadly I believe they had announced a Sleeping Dogs sequel but it got canceled.

"YOU NEED A PORK BUN!!!!"

Anon 4ever u do realize this game is single player only right?

k

so true, mafia one story was just amazing.

THEFLUFFYARMY you realize there were different mafias right? I mean... you can't stay the same forever eventually people are gonna want something new

Mafia 1 was classic

Mafia 1 was classic but Mafia 3 story Mafia 1 story look like kiddie story.mafia 3 is amazing

yeah i guess racing games are also rinse and repeat, since you just you know - fucking drive. dumb casual.

ReFL3X Filthy casual.

CyclonicDeath Yeah definitely a casual. I've played 3 hours of the fucking game and you just do the same shit again. It's the definition of a casual game and you aren't even that good at trolling tbh.

CyclonicDeath XD have a good night anyway and enjoy your trolling you're good at it.

ReFL3X hey sorry lmao cheers

glad you liked it

+Lloyd Franklin The thing is Angry Joe sucks at games

Angry Joe sells out occasionally, I actually unsubbed from him, but I gained a bit of respect with his No Man's Sky review which is totally on point. When he's pissed, he's pissed, and definitely says what's on the mind of many disappointed (or soon to be) gamers.

I thought so too, until I saw Joe thought Suicide Squad was a good movie...

Don't sleep on my man The Black Hokage

thanks

God of War 4 doesnt even have a release date yet....

thanks

+Mr Maximum gaming is not nor will it ever be a fucking charity. If I bought a music cd and it randomly sounded like shit or skipped songs i would return it. Devs dont getca free loan

I see u really pissed at it. I can understand, luckely i didn't encounter any weird things on ps4 yet... and cd's can't be patched xd so yeah I would also return those

+Mr Maximum lol who in their right mind would buy something on the hopes of a pstch lol. Its no place to have a victim mentality.

wtf a victim mentality ? seriously....

+Mr Maximum So you are happy to buy products that do not work like they are supposed to?. You must be everyone's number 1 customer

and playboys..lol

Buy it on sale. It crashes a lot.

123doomdoom yea on Xbox one shir head should have got a ps 4 an now your prolly gunna say you have a ps 4 but I play it on mine an it's never crashed

swagmaster shappy same here.

don't. the missions are the same there all kill. confront someone

Revilleza Lucky I'm with you. We don't spend extra money on high powered PCs for goddamn 30fps

Still don't understand the big deal with framerates.

I just mentioned what the big deal is. When you're used to 60, going back to 30 in something as close as a PC monitor made me nauseated to the point that it's unplayable.

I feel like your overreacting. But whatever man, you do you.

Well considering it's my system, my money and my enjoyment, I think it's my right as a potential customer not to waste them on a poor console port that is locked at 30fps. Just as it is your right if you want to support this practice on mediocrity. What I don't want to do is be arrogant enough to impose my view on you that I can judge whatever you're doing is under or over reacting about something, but hey, you do you.

Yeah. Tho, I am used to wait few months after launch for game to be finished. What cant be fixed is that gameplay wise new games are unimpressive.

rob finn between this and watch dogs, bf1 better not disappoint

I never ever pay full price for a game anymore. I buy them used or get them on sale, doesn't matter what game it is.

Actually I haven't experienced any problems since the day 1 patch.

The Frame rate patch is coming this weekend. Good lord.

You mean Arkham Knight and AC Unity :)

alphakillson my game crashed over 2 times when i did the ferris wheel mission...

Toxichydra67 I still haven't crashed.

The population actually seems about right for New Orleans, Los angles is a much more populated city so it makes sense for GTA 5 to have more people. Though the highways could be more populated in Mafia 3.

Well gta 5 got boring after the story and you couldnt enter buildings so it makes sense that it was more alive outside and better graphically xD

σπάνια γυναίκα είσαι συ! 😂

in what way is it dead?? Gta5 map was like an empty shell i can drive through in 30 seconds , this map is soooo much better more personality, more buildings to go it with different vibes , everything about this map is better lol

The NPCs are lifeless. They have interesting conversations but thats about it. U run into them and they won't. U crash into their and the most they'll do is honk their horn. They barely interact

GTAV is a truly remarkable technical achievement

its like they would rather focus on fun gameplay and interesting stories, how awful

forza horizon came out alright.

because of day one buyers, don't forget the preorder ones

Positive Voice what has the colour of the main characters skin got to do with how the game is? Typical people in today's age always play the race card it's embarrassing!

I hope they have the yakuza next in Mafia.That ould be awesome.

Well hopefully they can fix the crashes and bugs, then it would be a very decent game

playing on xbox one. Played 8 hours straight and it didn't crash once. Also the fps where not as bad, at least not very noticable. Ocasionaly a little stutter. Graphically some weird light and shadow effects, but it looked beautiful at times. If you would compare this to a gta and a watch dogs it would be right in the middle. What makes it really interesting is the story though, just like all of the mafia games before.

really is very good bugs like this really dont affect me

U spamed almost 2000 videos but only 51k subs Sad af

Patrick cellar door only reason is about to buy it is for the story. In my opinion I'd rather the gameplay be mediocre and the story be amazing then the gameplay be outstanding and the story be lackluster

thanks

a patch of 4gb didn't change SHIT. ...do what most people are doing it, Refund if you got it and just Pirate the fuck out of it.

Publisher forced release

No, the Publisher didn't Force Release, the Release Date was announced several Months ago

We will never know, but i do think the devs wouldn't want to release a game that cleary needed more polishment. It's not hard to imagine that a delay must have been requested, but not attended

lol

Jon Smith Yep, I just came from Reddit and I can confirm this.

Not yet! But a car-customization and clothing update will release soon.

Lawa Ye what you said cuz those army fatigues getting on my nerves too

sources for that update?

Hahah I agree, looks shit

Check the twitter account for Mafia 3, the developers announced clothing customization and DLC last month.

Dylan Palmer Legion and Overwatch are great though, and how more AAA than Blizzard can you go? Also, there's Uncharted 4.

and Forza 3

Waqib Hussain I mean, that's a bit of an aggressive question. I would never play Mafia III even if it was heralded as a great game, because I don't like this genre of game. I would only ever base my opinion of this game by reviews from people because I'll never play it. I watched this review because it's supposed to be a GOTY contender, but it seems it won't be now.

overwatch

deus ex mankind divided was pretty awesome...certainly one of the top game of the year...

thanks Alfred spread the word

make gaming great again!

just get bf1. tomb raider sucked. skyrim hd is a ripoff and skyrim isnt that great. watch dogs 2 will suck. just look at watch dogs 1. Ubisoft always downgrade their games. i dont know about the last guardian tho.

Mick Habich Skyrim is the best game ever

I have enevr played the old skyrim But i am looking forward for that. The only game that i have pre ordered is bf1 but not the premium.

+Trippy Mc Trip holds you by the hand and is linear do you hear yourself.. 400 hours plus gameplay and its linear your really funny... yet somehow the game is rated as one of the best rpg games in the world a top among the top yet it wasnt awarded for its linearity, congrats bravo youve been stupped

you dont know what linear means

Hear, hear. The current Plus games don't grab me, so playing this one instead. It's a reasonably good time, though I agree about the padding. I think the basic storyline would have made a phenomenal Max Payne style linear game, while as an open world it's just so-so

yeah i think mafia 3 is pretty good

I'm with you

I like it too so far

With so many amazing gangster movies out there, I have no idea why you'd want to play this broken game for the story.

Cloud Stratus Don't know. Maybe because I love playing games.

Loved Mafia 1

Oyeah! How would a game be if the same team, with the same energy as back then when they made mafia 1, made a game today? :o

yep... is getting worse and worse...not buying this.

Game james Some missions was boring yes. Worst graphics? Do you even know what games Mafia 1 was up against at that time? Rather prefer some realism into the driving handling, rather than todays "babywheelchair" physics seen in a lot of open world games. I didnt say that they would do the exact same game. I was wondering what if the same old team had the same compassion as they had with mafia 1 but instead with todays technology.

Mafia 2 is pretty good, i liked mafia 2 because i like italian mafia, so mafia 3 is just gta 5.5 to me, boring for me,

I'm not buying this. When i Heard about Mafia 3, I thought ok give me somethign like Mafia 1, story driven linear (not open world I'm tired of that)game based on some real Mobsters from 20s 30s or even later like from movie Godfather somethin like that.

It doesn't seem like a "Mafia" title to you... Oh, great another nostalgic cliche fan

Mafia 1 was also open world. It's an integral part of the series at this point, you can't take the open world out of Mafia.

yinyang not in a GTA manner

RandomUser M Well I dont want, atleast i dont want it always :) I love it in a rpg obviously, but can't say for other genres..

brendanbeast123 me too mate lol

shouldn't be that bummed. the bugs will get patched in a few days most likely. after that, you will have a great game with a 30+ story with great pacing and fantastic characters. plus more story arcs are coming in dlc.

I'm going to wait until that happens. And IF that happens.

Nah man, I've been playing this game for the past 8 straight hours. Epic story, good gameplay and descent graphics. Worth buying, definitely more so than anything thats came out over the last year so far.

I've played 15 hours so far, no crazy bugs, no framerate drops. This is my GOTY. I wonder if we are all playing the same game lol

lol

Talked about in the video

you did, I was talking about the comments section. everyone else is so concerned with the graphics instead of actual game play.

I see sorry. Its very hard to tell on a thread this busy

no worries, I should have stated that from the beginning, also, good review.

Syuna I was so hyped it was my birthday october 9th my mom got me mafia 3 i played it was good for a few hours it's so repetitive even saints row 3 is better

appreciate that

Agreed. Like all new releases I have an interest in, I always check to see if he has a review up before I purchase.

Wolve Rine hey! Me too 😀

Wolve Rine its free??

They already did, they're called GTA Vice city and GTA Liberty city Stories

YOU KNOW IT, MATE! well, there's a VERY good reason why R* games run without so many crashes [apart from the xb360 graphical 'catch-ups' on GTAV, but, considering how OLD xb360 was when it was released, it did an excellent job of actually getting such a modern AI and graphically superb game to RUN on such an old console!!]. If you have ever played "The Ballad of Gay Tony" , a DLC for GTAIV, you will see that it's an early tester for the UI of GTAV. Even some of the guns etc are tried out in TBoGT. a lot of the structures and poor quality graphics on the buildings in GTAIV were a hangover from GTA:SA [my fav GTA of all... PC version ruled but i later played it on PS2 and it almost looked as good]. Also, R* have a top range of coders that stay loyal AND, above all, supportive to the fans of the game. HOW MANY DLCs IN GTAV WERE FREE? GUESS. ALL. ALL DLCs IN GTAV ARE FREE. ON ALL FORMATS! because they know when being greedy loses you credibility. COD could look like a bag of dicks but the sheep would still buy it cos it's as simple as using reflexes. the gameplay is the same every tiem you play it. Granted, the WW2 CODs and COD:MW and Black Ops 1 were superb but the MW2 [ok-ish] etc and BO2 and 3 were so lame. the same old same old , rinse and repeat. you do the same old thing over and over again. Just like reading one of those right wing wankathons by Tom Clancy... wave the flag, god bless amerikuh! urghh... at least GTA takes the piss outa modern Western culture and does it in a funny way.

+Narred Darr Wasn't RDR riddled with a lot of bugs and glitches too? I know it was for me.

Narred Darr That was a nice lengthy reply that had nothing to do with what anyone here said. Good job man

Narred Darr God bless amerikuh, indeed.

This girl Riley said "sky looks like microsoft paint." Lmao I'm done.

riley mohler great comment +1

lol it was already proven many times. Or are you thinking all those folks here getting crashes right that minute are also a massive grand conspiracy to prove your point?

I never said that. Just stating my counter experience. It's not affecting everyone (or even most) from what I can tell. Let's apply some decency and not make assumptions about people and avoid putting words int heir mouths, shall we?

You didn't state your counter experience. You didn't pay attention to the comments, video, or description.

The word experience is clearly stated in my comment... But alright I guess...

my cocktail is Hudgens

It's been two years since you posted but this is still what we need.

Bustin Dem Nutts lol I don't mind being black in a game but this game fuckimg sucks I bought it. Graphics suck, sick black guy in a mafia game...... No one except 100% Italians can be made. They should change the name this game ain't mafia. This game is legit horrible they really fucked it up. If we could create our own family this game might actually be decent. Game legit got boring after an hour

@tommy mclean Well everything you described is basically godfather 2... build your crew, build your family, take over rackets etc etc.

buckwang obviously mafia 2 is emotionally connecting and my fav game of all time while mafia 3 is disgraceful to the franchise

buckwang How is it disgraceful?

Savage _Tv it sucks ass it doesn't even have the mafia feel it feels like i'm playing a soft core violent manhunt

It does not suck and it's nowhere near manhunt

i agree so far no problems i only had one crash and thats it.

Lol that's a problem. you can't say you had no problems but it crashed on you

ya its odd

193sora193 your profile pick has goty potential, not this.

so i guess we know why they didnt want anyone having pre review copies...

+Dustin Schulte thats gteat

glad you like the videos

that sucks man

+The Careless thats good

same here

It doesn`t crash after it was patched

It just went on Humble Bundle for one of the three games you get from next month's bundle if you pay early for the monthly.

Everyone forgets about Inside, Uncharted 4, Dark Souls 3 and Overwatch. All of which are considered to be great games across the board.

LT GFX how did it suck?

Ralf Ortiz So many hyped up games have been mediocre

***** well tbh there were not a lot of games driven by hype. Uncharted 4 and Dark Souls 3 last time i checked deserve their GOTY more then Skyrim which is a game that previously came out and most definitely COD. Also DOOM seems to have met many people's expectations. Overwatch? Though i do not play it; many love it. Also the year is not even over yet. We still haw titanfall 2, Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy, and the last guardian. Yea we also have watch dogs 2 which the hype seems to be low.

Overwatch meh. Uncharted 4 disspointing. Dark Souls 3 and Inside are good.

And for some reason you categorize this game as a SJW release? I wonder if you think games like Dishonored 2 is also SJW simply because there is a female protagonist.

I'd argue it's not. This is coming from a guy who thinks movies like mad max fury road was hijacked SJWS. Dishonored's choice between playing as corvo and the girl makes sense. she was in the first one and it makes sense that she would pick up arms and fight. there is context. she isn't a Mary sue that was thrown in for the sake of girl power. Just cause it's a girl doesn't mean it's the work of SJWs.

WatchDogs2 has fgts in it

So because the main character is a minority , there is sjw agenda behind it. So, I guess you didn't like or play gta San Andreas or gta v(Franklin)And you probably didn't like the last of us, or any tomb raider because you play a women. (Part of the last of us)You don't see me saying I don't play games with white protagonists because it asserts the idea that the only important race are white people, that would be stupid thing to say. Also, mafia 3 takes place in the 1960s. The civil rights activists were the SJW back then., but the civil rights activists were actually fighting for something important, not like the over sensitive sjw today. damn, smh

Give me a game where a white guy can go around killing blacks as part of the story and then tell me this isn't SJW? Get real

solarneddy I'd love to see a redux of Mafia 2 with a more fleshed out world.

true

So ACG is this game still a wait for sale if they fix the BIG technical issues. I'm just a huge fan of the 60's so waiting is killing me.

dont know. I would need to play it again for awhile to see

do you plan on playing it again?

I downloaded the game from xbox live and haven't experienced any of the problems people are talking about.I make mods and learned the hard way that you shouldn't just rush and install a game on your pc without making sure everything is updated, even if it seems to be unrelated to whatever the problem may be, it might just be the right fix for it.And anyone talking about video game repetiveness should also mention the gears of war franchise and this is coming from a fan/frequent player of the games.

ya its got some issues

lol ya

not enough actually. Should have covered a bit more

@TheMotherFudger lol speak for youself.

I feel I may have started something just to clarify the review is good but I felt that was too much about graphics and fps rates which doesn't bother me story and overall gameplay make the game not visual

Tim Wood Your absolutely fine man. That other poster was caught and reported for abusing other members in the same video and was banned.

no worries was a good review this is a game I've been waiting for a long time and finally get to play but still waiting for the thing to install lol
