Patch is suppose to hit this weekend so besides tarnishing their name for a silly reason (3 days later) I don't really see the huge deal...

I, myself, will just start it a few days later than planned.... (So this isn't even close to a Arkham Knight debacle.)

camel_toad3514d ago

Ha yeh definitely nowhere near the Arkham situation.

It didn't take me too long to get used to the 30fps (console and pc gamer) and I'm having some good fun with it but I'm guessing with the patch to unlock the frame rate it'll suddenly feel like I'm playing a whole new game.

WellyUK3514d ago

It's unacceptable but to be fair no matter what you do on PC there is always something they moan about and I know as I am one.

Psychotica3513d ago

I am old gamer and I played for 5 hours yesterday, something I never do anymore. It's a lot of fun, it's not perfect and it's not as polished as GTA V, but it's worth buying.

_LarZen_3513d ago

I wonder if the majority of PC gamers that don't have the hardware to get above 30 fps in this game also complain about it? Just for the sake of complaining..?

juliotheman213513d ago

Not me got the hardware for it :p. lots of other pc gamers do as well. just turn down your settings a bit its not hard. cant do that on a console tho. stuck with that 30. but then this turns into a graphics/fps war.

CP_Company3513d ago

majority of gamers can easy pass 30fps,that is a problem.

_LarZen_3513d ago

Not according to Steam's hardware survey.

CP_Company3513d ago

you are blind? majority of steam users has 970 in their systems,that is not enough for minimal requirements play 30fps? are you drunk?

More people should be making a trip to this bayou.

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl1406d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood1406d ago (Edited 1406d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B1407d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius1407d ago (Edited 1407d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy1406d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long1407d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy1406d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad1406d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure1406d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad1403d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator1409d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke191409d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

Top 10 Mafia 3 Characters

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
