- Mafia 3 was a fun play. But the game was Kisses fingers like an italian chef beautiful. Hanger 13 and 2k messed up royally on this game with mundane repetitive BS disguised as game play. Could have been game of the year for sure if they developed a proper game. Such a let down, well anyway. Here's Wonderwall...

I still remember when I was playing mafia 3 and my grandma just sat and watched me play for like an hour, she said it was really accurate; the only complaints she had was my driving and she said that White only stores weren’t as common in 1968.
In Louisiana back then. No. Earlier yes
Did mafia 3 definitive edition have free roam after campaign?
@@GM-qy7om Depending on what ending you choose, yes.
@@Kiryu_Maji what did i choose to have a open world?
@@GM-qy7om everyone lives
the game was too repetitive and enemies were so stupid that even the stealth approach was boring
Yeah and the kill animation is always the same too. So you'd just whistle and every single dude would come to investigate in the same way not ever questioning where the other 5 guys who investigated disappeared to :/
true in mafia 3 just get a silenced gun and stealth combat becomes so easy and repetitive but still a bit fun
@@Go.DGanka69420 lmao I do this too
@@ThexDynastxQueen stupid & glitchy
Stealth? Enemies have X-ray Vision for no reason hiding in this is nonexistent. because the player has no hiding at all. Times where all enemies know your location and immediately go to where you are taking cover. one of them dies all of them go into battle mode regardless of their location they know everything Lincoln does killing him instantly.
i can see why so many players are not engaged with this game but I've platinumed the game just because of one simple mechanic... you can call da boys for backup!
Talk that talk! Lol
And you can put dead bodies in your car’s truck and I think a lot of games don’t have that detail I swear I spent so much time driving the bodies to feed them to alligators
@@yunghitnit666 i feed most of time underbosses to the alligator
@@yunghitnit666 Sleeping Dogs is the only other GTA clone I can think of with that mechanic
couldn't platinum because of glitched trophies 😒 the racket bosses kills doesn't pop up
Man the only thing that got me through the game was the story. I loved a lot of the ideas they had like the upgrade system, building up your gang and bringing in revenue and some aspects of the combat but man the mission design just held it back so hard man. That story was so worth the boring game part though, especially since I got it for free.
maybe u’re just being “pretentious”
I wanted to like it a lot, but I felt like having CIA backing really neutered any sense of scale of build up or excitement for me. For me, everything else was pretty great
@@nobodycares4321 Honestly with the CIA being what it is IRL I didn't really find the CIA's presence distracting at all especially since it was just the single dude helping Lincoln.
@@PretentiousAdonis And see I understand that, but to me - and this is just on a personal level - it made me feel a lot more expendable, or like I wasn't even exactly in charge... it was only one guy true but all the high level techno stuff and it's just my opinion like I said, felt it diminished the underdog story a bit. But see, I came expecting San Andreas and it was more of a GTA5 situation if that makes sense. I still liked it enough to buy it though lol
It was to repetitive
This was a lesson in how to create a boring open world that gives you no reason the spend any time there outside of missions. This could be a completely linear game with a small area, and it wouldn't make a difference because the open world was dead anyway.
I agree, they spent so much time making the open world as well. It was just a really weird decision to have no reason to explore it.
The ubisoft approach of littering the map with something to do every few metres is preferrable to it being completely dead.
@@floatinghamstick Bro atleast in those games you'd have a reason to do shit in the map. I have done side missions in all AC games(pre shitty RPG era) and absolutely loved exploring around the worlds because they are just filled with content.
Yea once you complete the game and DLCs there's nothing else to do except mainly grow and sell weed or go racing .. but I still loved it I recommend at least playing the DLCs, they're free if you have PS plus premium .
Mafia 3's racket missions are so repetitive.
As an idea it is great and could have worked better if the racket missions wasnt copy and paste
I loved Mafia 1&2. I just couldn't get into 3. I don't care that they're essentially linear games taking place in an open world. So long as the story missions make use of the open world. I appreciate the Mafia series generally doesn't "Ubisoft" their games with tons of activities that fail to serve the story.
it definitely isn’t for everyone and I feel that if it didn’t have the title of mafia it would’ve done better but I love the game and it’s DLC
@@imbadewaykimbi4623 you literally spends the entire game taking down the mafia. If it isn’t Italian guys you all aren’t for it I get it but this is as mafia as it gets.
@@dox1802 yeah that’s a good point
You are more kind of a Punisher/Rambo mix ^^
Mafia 2 is actual cheeks compared to mafia 3, and the definitive edition of Mafia 1 was pretty great graphically and story wise but other than that it was a pretty basic and boring game.
I’ve been playing mafia 3 recently and I love the game. I like the fact that it’s extremely detailed from the world to the missions. The player is allowed to basically take on missions when they feel like it in whatever order they choose. I can’t say the game is boring at all but it is slower than a GTA 5. And I never beat GTA V but mafia 3 I can honestly say is under appreciated
I mean have you really though? Cause the last Time i played a mission it always plays out the same why becoming repeating theme where the enermies are not challenging enough leaving you wanting a better combat system where the enermies don't die in 5 minutes or where the enermies don't rush you killing Lincoln clay within 5 minutes of starting the missions.
Yes it maybe detailed but we are playing a game here not working on the national art gallery. I can't Open a single door in the game cause they don't work. The game can't function without bugs and crashes. Graphics glitches all the time. Lincoln clay can climb some obticles mostly he can't climb anything else.
You have very limited numbers of guns. Where you can only have two guns at one time. why is this designed like this? Mafia 1 or 2 had way more guns to choose from and more than two slots for guns. So you have a lots of different play styles when it comes to gunplay and the combat system in the game.
Gta V is better than Mafia III in my opinion but Mafia II are better than both
The main thing that kept me playing was the story I really did like the the story. You could even alter the story a little bit with the rackets you assign to your underbosses. It's just that there is no sense of difficultly or challenge in Mafia 3 and you're mostly doing the same thing over and over again. Sure you can do these missions any way you want, but the format is mostly "go here, kill these people, interrogate this person, take the racket, assign the racket" and it just feels like you're doing side missions most of the time. It's an average game in my opinion and should definitely get more love for its story. The only reason for the hate was the gameplay, the story is always great in my books.
Bought it in 2016, just finished it in 2021. It wasn’t that bad I enjoyed the fighting and shooting, the story, and Lincoln Clay grew on me the more I played it. The repetition of the missions were annoying as hell though. But I did like to shoot and kill a lot so not too bad for me.
Bought it at release and still have not finished the game
Make sure you download the free DLCs for the game. Three new stories to play through, pretty fun
@@Fuaarrkk don't forget growing your own customizable strains og weed
Seriously it took you 4 years to finish the game
@@superflyerzzI guess you will never finish it I had to finish it because the way they kill his family was so brutal I had to get the revenge
I always get goosebumps when I boot up mafia 3. The world, the setting, even the color of the whole game combined with the bomb music makes the game good enough for me. I love games where you seek revenge (watch dogs 1 is perfect for me too), but yeah - the Gameplay ELEMENTS are boring, but the gunplay and mechanics are top notch
I loved Watchdogs 1 as well. I haven't tried Mafia 3 yet because of the bad reviews. Would you recommend to play it just to enjoy the main story? (I don't really care about collectibles and stuff like that)
@@juanjbrieva5168 yes! ABSOLUTELY 💯. Know why? Because of the perfect atmosphere, sound design, music, and tight gameplay. Don't get carried away in the side quests cause they're boring, do only the main missions and you're gonna have a blast
Except its not a mafia game
@@titustelesco2870 yeah it should've been something new from hangar games instead of a mafia title
@@edinademovic4261 or just make it an actual mafia game next time
Losing Daniel Vávra was a big hit for 2k and you can feel it in Mafia 3. He was definitely one of the masterminds behind the Mafia series. But he went to make Kingdom Come: Deliverance which is another masterpiece in world building, storytelling, ambience and soundtrack. Really recommend it. If you felt immersed in the 40s, KCD will definitely take you back to 1404 medieval Bohemia.
I love KCD, I'm a Bohemian.
@@evzenvarga9707 I'm Brazilian and Czech Republic as a whole is such a beautiful and culturally rich country. I would love to visit Prague and Bohemian countryside one day!
I feel like mafia 2 will always be my favourite game the cars the music the style and good ol joe and Vito
Am I the only one that kind of hopes they make a game somewhat similar but only based on the Irish mob.....by the way I agree on how well the soundtracks are..... and the realism Mafia 3
Realism with glitches and bugs from the graphics breaking apart.
That's a great idea! I'd love to shoot up some micks 😃
@@ajaxlewis7664 LoL
Well Irish people are white so you know what that means. It’d be racist
@@josephbrotherbear2124 and bears shit in the woods, what's your point?
The best thing about Mafia 3 was by far its setting and soundtrack
man I gotta say, compared to mafia 1, even the remaster, mafia 2 still shines. at least in mafia 2 you can do realistic shit like go get gas, go get a change of suit, go get a damn burger or a beer. mafia 1 remaster allows you to do none of these things aside from a very linear story. man oh man I wish the mafia 1 remaster incorporated elements from mafia 2
I thought they would have so I bought it at real ease and by the time I got to the race part and was like fk it …this sucks lol.
You can get gas in the remake for 1
I remember getting this game on ps4 as a demo then got it for free through ps plus membership and I totally loved the story and realism of the world like going to a shop or a bar that you're not allowed to go in because of the segregation that was in that time and the whole aspect of having multiple business fronts was cool at first however I had a couple of glitches in them like the game sometimes would give you a mission where you have to drive to a location and steal a car loaded with supplies but when you arrive there nothing happens or having to sneak into a police station to retrieve a van full of weapons but the stealth system doesn't register because cops for some reason will know exactly where you are, but however I love the soundtrack it's one of the best things in the game as well as cars and have abilities such as cutting phone wires from witnesses or calling backup or have someone collect your money and they deliver them to your safe house.
Lmfao segregation was officially gone by '68 buddy, and most places (even in the South) were letting black people shop/eat etc in 1968, was just yet another way to nonsensically highlight racism and place it front and center for an audience that simply wants entertainment.
@@CommanderLongJohn that's interesting
I feel like this review ended before it finished. I was enjoying it but was really surprised when it suddenly ended, because it seems like you touched briefly on everything but didn't go in depth about any of it. Maybe that's the whole point of a short form review, but you spent the first third talking about other games. For a long form retrospective that's fine and expected, but I wish you would have been a little more thorough with this one.
Thank you for the comment. Appreciate the feedback
@@MrHammers thanks for not being salty 😜😚
No worries! Truly appreciate it
The DLC was the only thing that really salvaged Mafia III for me. It added that extra story I was looking for.
On an unrelated note, they got most of 60s and 70s New Orleans. My dad watched me drive around and we talked about places that actually existed that were similar to the world. Maybe that helps.
This game was great! I was able to kill kKk…
Man I can’t wait for that part lol
The only problem with this game is that there is really nothing to do in the open world and also really no side quests that don't have something to do with the main quest line and yes it is repetitive but the gameplay and story is what kept me playing
I wish it had fight clubs or a boxing club because Lincoln has some pretty badass moves
@@Miltypooh2001 something interesting is that Muhammed Ali's original name was "Cassius Clay" and Lincoln's last name is "Clay" interesting detail, probably not related but anyways.
@@juanpabloponce9334 yea they kinda say this in the game sometimes
@@justinhainsworth7726 for real? I will replay it then
@@justinhainsworth7726 do you have like the moment when someone says it? I'm looking for it on yt but can't find any reference
I don't agree, at all. I'm taking this all day instead of 10 years of GTA V. FIrst of all, it's a new idea. A vietnam war veteran taking the Italian Mafia in 1960's New Orleans. The city is very well done, the soundtrack is tremendous and very accurate, there's some big moments connected to that, like going to kill Sal Marcano listening to Bad Moon RIsing. That said, I bought the game at release, and since I changed systems I got the Definitive Edition early this Fall. Since 2016 I've completed the game 5 times, and all the bonus content and DLC was worth it. I like the gun gameplay, the finishers, the driving mechanics... and I've only found minor graphic bugs. It's definitly worth it and believe me when I firstly took it with a grain of salt since we couldn't play as an italian. Was I wrong.... I loved it
You're not at all in the wrong for liking it, as it really can't be called a bad game. However, that doesn't mean it isn't really generic, with shallow systems and an even more hollow world. I don't think I've ever heard anyone praise the gunplay, but I do actually agree. Though that is completely undermined by staggeringly stupid AI and using the same cover shooting mechanics as every third person action game of the mid to late 2000s
That's most people's problem. First of all the Chinese Triads and Tongs were engaging in organized crime centuries before the Italians were and if people weren't so closed minded and actually read history about various organized criminal organizations they wouldn't be so butt hurt about not playing an Italian.
@@amante104 See but I have no problem with it! I actually loved the story and Lincoln's character and background. He has a motive and can be the "one man army" he is in the game based in his special forces days. However since I'm a big american mafia "fan" and an italian descent myself I like to see that portrayed in gaming. About the tongs, I love Sleeping Dogs and Wei Shen.
@@amante104 the mafia is italian there are no other mafias the game is called mafia 2+2=?
@@SuperDZONI96 Everyone knows that but the point is they are not the only criminal organizations that exist in the world. I'm definitely sure you are one of those people who didn't know that.
Damn dude surprised you don't get more views this is very well done!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it my man
This was developed by hangar 13 games primarily, the creative director of the first 2 games Daniel vavra created warhorse studios with 2K Czech coworkers and created kingdom come deliverance.
Mafia 1 & 2 were really good (i’ve only played the Definitive Editions though) but Mafia 3 wasn’t very good in my opinion, i got bored towards the start of the game so i ended up selling it lol but Mafia 1 & 2 I still have because they’re masterpieces
Definitive mafia 2 just adds outfits and cars from 1 and 3 to your wardrobe/garage, and it has that weird graphic filter which I think is ugly, oh yeah and it has more bugs than original but it's essentialy the same game just different port with few tweaks here and there.
Definitive 1 is literally 3 with 1's skin, gameplay, animations even some models are straight from 3. The story is worse than the original (they made several rewrites, and completely missed the point of certain events) lvl design also feels dumbed down, the original was much harder with really agresive AI, not only were they smarter, they really wanted you dead so much they would try to beat you to death if they ran out of ammo and couldn't find another weapon to use. it's also much more detailed, especially when it comes to the world, for example you can prevent having wanted lvl by killing cops before they reach phone booths because in the original they have to call the precinct for reinforcements to start some bigger pursuit, and there were no mobile radios back then, so if you silence them quickly there won't be anyone coming after you.
This is why mafia 2 is the only one I enjoyed.
@@Killa-rd6hj Mafia 2 is one of the most overrated games online
Bro I totally agree. I remember I was about half way through the game, and I realized I was doing the same thing over and over and over. It made the second half a huge slog.
The problem with mafia 3 was that it didnt feel like a mafia game at all well only when you run into vinny but mafia 3 feels more like a hitman game honestly
The soundtrack made the game fun to play.
The worst for me is that I’ve bought the Definitive Edition for console and it’s downgraded to hell, feels like playing on super low with my old pc. Just hoping that Hangar 13 gives some attention to this and fix it (what I find very hard)
Did the regular game look better than the definitive edition on console? My God, does the chrome on the cars look horrendous.
I have the definitely edition and it feels fine.
Are you playing on last gen or current gen? Because I was thinking about buying this for series x
@@DariusDareDevil i have it on Xbox series s and it’s great ! No crashes, a few bugs but that comes with every game. The graphics look amazing 🤩
After Mafia 2, which wasn't even completely open world, there was no way to be impressed by Mafia 3's open world. It just had lower standards everywhere. I wish M1 remaster was created using M2's engine.
I mad at that you are hella underrated, you deserves a lot more subs for the effort you put in your videos
🙏
My biggest complaint is that they made it in a historical period just like Mafia 2, awesome i love the 1960s and it's music. Except, the setting is no longer that important and just feels like a backdrop instead of part of the story. There are no passing of seasons, there are no historical events to experience(like vito experiencing world war 2, the hard winter, being ejected from the military, passing time in jail, experiencing the new time once he gets out of jail), they ignore the thing that made 2 so cool to me - you experience the era to a degree. They spend so much time telling us how much of a badass the main character is in 3, but we don't experience the build up or learn much about his childhood or experience the early years he had like we get a glimpse of with vito.
Mafia 2 perfectly sets the time and tone of the series with the setting and encapsulates you in that time period. Mafia 3 kinda drops you into the 60s and says "Racism and machine guns, have fun!"
And don't get me wrong, i enjoyed shooting the klan members for my first go through but the story left so much to be desired and that's the thing i enjoyed so much about 2. 1 Was good on that too but never got into it as much until the remaster and haven't finished it yet.
I get your point, and i do like mafia 2, but i still feel like mafia 3 is under appreciated for what it is.
And you get lincoln backstory as you progress the story along. I understand why u like that they put vito through various places. But if they do the same thing with lincoln it probably wont work as well. For someone whos not from US, mafia 3 shows me how bad racism can be, and i think lincoln handled it amazingly, we might not get full experience to that era as you said, but driving around new bordeaux and seeing how different people live on one side of the city compared to the other also shows it to some degree imo. Heck, in the poorer side of the city theres no police patrolling, they tried their best and i personally love the world. Their only drawback is for sure the repetitive missions.
Honestly, one of my biggest complaint with Mafia 3 is that it left too many unanswered questions from Mafia 2
I am going to start playing these games. Hope I don't regret it. (Great video)
The 1st one is a little dated graphically these days, if that's something you can get passed it's a really great game. All 3 games have an amazing story, world and voice acting. The gameplay has just deteriorated along the way. If you have PS+ on PlayStation, Mafia 3 is free right now
Alfredo Pichardo no problem man, let me know how u feel about them if you get around to playing em
Alfredo Pichardo the first game is getting a remake and it’s dropping this August
The definitive edition of 1 and 3 are definitely the peak of the series.
Personally i love action in ACTION games so i have no complaints, i like the mission mechanics (it can get repetitive sometimes), i always liked the sense of realism in the mafia games, and i love the story i thinks its rather engaging, if mafia 3 is on sale I recommend you give it a try
Thank you!!! Finally someone who understands my pain! Everyone keeps telling me how good this game is and I just couldn't get into it.
Even though I agree that all those problems with Mafia III are legit, I still love it. I'm taking the overused "it's just misunderstood" route but I mean it sincerely.
i wouldnt say its misunderstood, just lacked in certain aspects, the mission level design was dogshit, and thats the main reason i hated it at first (also the bugs) but after some time i decided to give it a second chance and just go through the missions and i really liked it. the dlcs were also great so i hope they learned something from the game.
@@jarlboof Yeah I really loved the story, world and radio as tho it's sadly still topical it is cathartic in a way to play but on release it was too barren and repetitive on the actual game part for me.
I really want it to make a comeback tho as we need more competition for GTA and a great game is here.
It’s not «misunderstood», it’s badly designed
If they had just called it Godfather 3, everyone would have been happy and not be misunderstood
I found the main story missions to be really good along with the story but when I look back all I can really remember is having to do all those objectives to weaken a lieutenants hold on an area before you can take them out.
Like I enjoy that stuff in games where you can just do the story missions but it makes it easier to clear out areas first like in Far Cry 3 for instance.
But having it be mandatory to do the main story just felt like a grind.
I had a bug were everytime I would die, turn off the game, or change my outfit the game would make me RESTART on the WHOLE GAME. I restarted five times and still haven't finished the story.
Dont forget...you can park your cars in all 3 mafias with your wheels turned. Only game I've seen that lets you do that. Small detail that speaks volumes about this franchise. Love mafia ♥
i thought i was the only guy who noticed that
@@cesarortega7870 I'll admit it...I've gotten back in the car after parking just to turn the wheels out and get out again. No shame
They only added that in after people complained. Mirrors still don’t work but they did in mafia 2.
I kind of feel this way about Mafia DE. Lack of body styles in cars, no places to go to like in Mafia 2 (cafes, clothes stores.) no one to call on the telephones. What even is the point of freeride in that game other than the special cars. Really hope they can remaster what was supposed to be a remastered game.
I think the next step for a Mafia game would be one that allows you greater control over. You start off as an associate, become a made man, and eventually end the story by working your way up to be the boss. From there, you have open control to negotiate with other families, order hits (and since people would want a piece of the action, carry them out), manage rackets, appoint capos, pay off police or politicians and balance your need for violence with your ability to stave off heat, etc. You can expand your family from one city to another (Vegas, anybody?) and make decisions to keep your underlings happy and loyal, or face the consequences by dealing with betrayal. I think a Mafia game like this, starting from the early days of the Prohibition maybe all the way to the 50’s, would be absolutely awesome.
This would potentialy be the greatest game ever 👍
The series never delivered on the promise of the first game.
I waited patiently for them to shore up the game's short comings. But somehow they delivered less and less for each iteration. The 2nd game was agonisingly empty and underutilised.
I once found a working train station at one point.
This station did not feature in the main game *in any way*. That summed the game and the series all together perfectly. I beautiful sandbox without a game to go with it.
On a different note: Mafia 3 was all about American racism. Mafia 1 remake featured ZERO black people.
it had black npcs, it was a remake
Not everything has to be about black people
Whys everything always gotta be about black people? There are other races of people in the world you know, not just black
To be honest, Mafia 3 become my favorite of the series. Repetitive? Maybe yes. It's avoidable if you don't try to do all collectables at once, and you do along with story missions - and this game has a good story. This is the first of the series that is actually an open world game, that is, you're not stuck to a mission as you leave your bed, and most side jobs can be done in any order. Not to mention that collectables aren't "locked" to specific missions, which I found kind of frustrating on previous games.
Just a small touch the studio that made the 1st one didnt work on the 2 other games simply it went bankuropt the guy who wrote the 1st one offerd his help and wanted to work on the 2 but they declined he shoved his ideas recently he even said he got 89 pages of text for mafia 2 they used not even a half for the first mision… now look how 3 ended up what they did to this frenchise hell even Vavra (the writer of the 1st game) said in a podcast that he wanted the 3rd game to put you in position of a cop… i wonder what would mafia looked like if the original czech studio worked on it .
I don’t mind how mafia 3 repetitive is but the story is amazing
Hardly, felt like a script written by a 10 year old
I don't get why people are saying the story was amazing. It was a boring vengance story.
Oooof regarding the glitches on Mafia 3, you’re very lucky. My copy no joke decided to completely break apart and it refuses to render any textures or collisions if I drive into the French Ward. I will fall through the map and fall into the endless void before the game hard crashes. It has gotten so bad that it almost bricked my PS4. I’ve tried reinstalling the game after delete all my Mafia 3 save files several times and still something happens where the game just won’t function properly.
It’s sad too because I’ve played it from start to finish alongwith all the DLCs a few times and really enjoyed it.
The Reason I like Mafia Series because stories that's always stand for "Act and Consequences"
But In Mafia 3 I didn't found that. it's more like Gta where you can just killing mafia member without fear of retaliation .
I don’t understand how people can’t see (Not saying you can’t, cos you definitely will once I’ve mentioned it) but it’s literally just taken the gang system from Saints Row 1, 2 and 3.
Difference was in SR3, those missions would take you to different locations with different objectives, you’d get a call saying what you needed to do and it was fun because it’s Saints Row and it was just over the top. But this game was like Saints Row if it took itself seriously, but it still came off as really corny.
@@maxpayneful4328 I understand what you mean. That's how I would say this game is closer to The Godfather. don't get me wrong I like the gang system as you said before. but mafia games usually place a deep meaning into being part of the family . the benefits of being part family come with consequence that makes a mafia game masterpiece
The environment the story and the driving was very good and enjoyed the combat both stealth and all out clay just looked so badass killing and something I dreamed of in a open world I wish they somehow fix this same settings
I always thought it was super cool how in the mafia 1 you use your turning signals
Me who enjoyed every single mafia game: *triggered*
I never played any mission in Mafia 3, but I can tell you that the buildings are amazing and general atmosphere is so beautiful. It could easily compete with a GTA game on the level of atmosphere. Sad to see the wasted potential
Atmosphere was nice, but in GTA you can spend dozens of hours or even hundreds without doing missions because the world is alive and random things happen all around you. Same goes for Watch Dogs 2. In Mafia 3 you would get bored after an hour because there was nothing there. Once the story ended there was no reason to walk on the streets, it was completely boring.
I really enjoyed playing Mafia two and Mafia one ,
Mr. Salieri sends his regards .
I actually loved mafia 3 , preordered it and loved it . Sure it has its issues , glitches , freezing , crashing , but I still love the game .
Terrible Ai, repetitive missions, a big city with nothing to do…. Can’t forget that !
There’s a glitch that doesn’t let you complete “sign of the times” if you’re replaying the game at all, and it basically ruins apart of your next playthrough.
The gameplay is perfect to me, but the glitches still ruin the game.
I just want, like, a really long video essay on some game from this guy.
Same, and they out and out told you! This is how the game is going to be! Great cutscenes, that's it
I’m currently finishing up the story, and it’s like pulling teeth at this point. Rinse and repeating for 40 hours isn’t the greatest.
Mafia 3 is the best game I’ve ever played
Mafia 3 was the gateway for 60s music for me. I remember going through a phase playing the game where I would only listen to its soundtrack and other 60s music and nothing else. I safely got out of that but if it wasn't for the game, I wouldn't never have given my beloved band CCR a chance today. Yeah the missions suck, repetitive BS. The glitches I experienced in my 20+ playthroughs weren't really game-breaking like locking me out of missions but more so as flying cars, invisible people, and slowly floating corpses, which I enjoyed very much. And yeah, story good too. 8/10.
I really liked the fact I can dirtnap the kkk in the game

So good
I wanted to like this game so bad. I beat it in 2019 and just yesterday on New Year’s Eve 2021 I tried to play it but got bored in like 30 minutes… the controls are awful and after you beat the story there’s nothing to do but awful boring missions
Great Video.
Loved first 2 hours ,demo got me hooked everything that came after really boring.Still enjoyed it. Music and rainy sunsets ,sweet
What killed the game for me was the bland gameplay loop. Nothing to spend money on except for weapons, zero environment interactivity which is something that M2 excelled in.
Great story and soundtrack though. Even better than some of the recent ones.
Yeah it was dreadful getting a decent completion of this game. And took me a long time to start playing this game.
The main problem of this game is indeed its repetitiveness. What also pissed me off here was the loss of money when you die so in many missions you simply cannot progress when you are running out of ammo and cannot replenish it. Some missions are also difficult like hell, when the game throw at you hordes of enemies.
I tried, I really did. I was so excited my best friend saw me watch mafia 1 gameplay and finish the entire 2 game just to be disappointed at Mafia 3 entirely. I tried to give it a chance but I really couldn't, it should've felt more detailed following tradition, the story is great but it got shafted. (When I mean detailed at every corner this game felt it was missing something, then the bugs didn't really help)
What put me off of Mafia 3 was that I’m supposed to be the boss of a criminal syndicate, yet I still need to do busy work like driving out to the bayou to steal trucks.
I agree with you in the fact that once you wanna do something else than missions, it feels "empty". I get the same feeling with gta v but less pronounced as there are small events here and there, without speaking about cars and tuning. But still, for me personally, gta iv was the most "complete" in the sense that there are so many details, interactions, missions/jobs you can do. Wanna be a police officer/fireman? No problem. Wanna earn some money? Let’s be a taxi driver. The possibilities there are so huge compared to the two newer games, they don’t even come close when just talking about vanilla/remastered versions (without mods).
I just played through this one. It was ok. I guess that mission giver glitch is just part of the game. Happened to me entirely too often. It was on sale so I cant really complain. The story was meh like mafia 2 but i liked the little details of gut shooting a guy for him to lay on the floor a few minutes and bleed out. Probably wont play again.
I played 3 first in early 2018 and loved it the story was pretty good but the missions were very repetitive, I played 2 in December of 2018 and loved it even more than 3, the game is just miles better in story and characters
Mafia 3 is not a bad or boring game, there is a lot that could of been way better and done but they proofed already that they could make a comeback with Mafia Definitive Edition, basically remake.
The DLC for this game really addresses several complaints people originally had. I guess the feeling of the game being rushed was because things were left out.
But racing, outfit changes, bullet time, skilled driving, new map areas, new weapons, more characters, mission types etc. are all brought to you via dlcs.
LOVED this game, at first. Then HATE, HATE, HATED the story and thus the whole game by the end. And the girly magazines you collect are not from the appropriate time period - INFURIATING! Great video!
Damn homie, wicked script on this one... great video!
Hey thanks bro, glad you liked it
Well some characters you can feel for, alot of the npcs are just standing there and the camera just sits in the corner looking down; no cinematics
I enjoyed mafia 3 because of the gunplay and the high detailed world also the soundtrack but the mission were the same that and there was noting to do after you beat the game but it was still fun
3 is my favourite and the only one I wanted to and did replay. I've beat it 2 or 3 times and I'll definitely beat it again in the future.
I got through the opening and was hooked even the first couple missions afterwards and then. I just started doing the same thing over and over again and never finished the game despite how good it was at the start. It's rare something can hook me and just as fast lose me.
This is a very accurate review of the game. The story is very good, so I will finish it and will 100% the collectibles, but this review is spot on. The game play really reminds me of a city builder game on mobile, where you start off impressed and then you realize the game play is shallow and you are just logging in daily, doing the same thing, until you eventually stop playing it.
I like the story. It’s like he’s a black punisher
Crashes were a big thing on my ps4 pro. Even with HDR off running 1080p lol. Game was rushed and outdated.
I don't like how you don't play as a member of the Mafia. They could have done the Irish mob, that would have been interesting.
I think these mafia games have the best shooting out of any game.
the whole series lacks I things to do in the world but at least 2 made it a little more interesting in the beginning with the wanted system, robbing stores, and speed limit if they expand mechanics like that and give us more to do and see along with the story it’d be a perfect game
For me the game just feels unfinished, and the graphics are a mix too
That’s true sometimes it looks really nice and sharp, and other times like you’re in an unrendered concept of the map, but it never renders hahaha especially out in the bayou
Chrome becomes blurry
The first area, with the amusement park level and all those missions were amazing. The rest of the game is nothing like that.
I agree with you on all your points, even that the game gets boring and is sometimes poorly fleshed out, but it's one of those games, like SC : Conviction or Max Payne 3, to me. It has a litany of immediately apparent issues, but the combat is made so satisfying... Not through the gameplay alone, but by integrating the narrative in every combat encounter in order to enhance the power fantasy. By having characters discuss our protagonist's recent actions before combat, realising when their numbers thin out and commenting on how terrrified they are that we'll spoil their party. I remember a particular line from Splinter Cell, when you infiltrate Black Box and the security officers, I believe were splinter cell trained on Fisher's own established program, Start pouring in the office areas , boasting, insulting and taunting. After dispatching a few of them, they'd start losing their confidence and sound way more scared. At that point, some NPC would sometimes blurt out 'GODDAMMIT THIS ISN'T SOME REGULAR CIVILIAN WITH A GUN, IT'S SAM FUCKIN FISHER... WAKE THE FUCK UP AND PUT HIM DOWN!' that line is probably my favorite in gaming history, for how encouraging it was. Arkham games did it better though, by having NPCs mental states actually affect gameplay, by altering their routes and combat behavior, like shooting off perches. TLOU2 did something similar but it was more to guilt trip you than encourage more carnage. Still cool though...
I agree with you on nothing to do. I see basketball courts and football stadium can't use them. And I know there's boxing but am not allowed to complete. And the DlC is why I'm glad I bought it. I enjoyed building Sammy's place up and doing the races and getting extra cash
What if Mafia takes place after red dead redemption 1 think about it
Red dead redemption takes place in the western days, Mafia in the 30s, to 50s and gta in the modern times it just fits in so good
Mafia 3 is actually the only one I haven't beaten, and it was because of a game breaking bug I encountered about 80 percent through the game where I couldn't speak to a mission-giving npc. And I just didn't have the energy to repeat all that grinding again.
I loved this game. Tho I agree it was repetitive but it didnt bother me I didnt mind driving or the shooting. I was too immersed in the story. The sound track and collectibles were good. However I do understand how some may get bored and ur right nothing in the open world to mess around with. But overall I really liked it
all i know, is that one of the last couple mission of mafia 2 were you whack someone old made me jaw drop
Mafia 3 to is one of the best games regardless of being repetitive the story was Ausome and i just started the dlc an enjoying every moment mafia definitive edition was ausome also
People be like it's so repetitive then play Warzone for the next 2 years
The gameplay of the game is really bad. It hurts the game. But the Story is fantastic and the protagonist is excellent. Lincoln’s such a badass.
I think there is a pc mod that allows you to play only the story missions, that way it is a pretty good game.
Where do I find this
The issue with mafia 3 is the story has such a good plot that u wanna keep playing but missions are rinse and repeat damage a gang area costing them enough money to spawn boss then kill the boss and move to the next area with no variation of mission. The game play was fun but the story mission just felt like a choir nothing compared to the older games
Mafia 3 gameplay was what held it back from being a truly amazing game. The world building and atmosphere is top tier. The characters are great and fit their respective factions and backstory, story is better than most games storylines. But omg the repetitive gameplay and fetch quests makes me want to puke.
Way to be dramatic. Never once thought of the game as repitive, you supposed to kill every single group. That's what makes it so realistic.
