Don't know why it wasn't on the d-pad or a tap vs hold thing, early on there were certain scenarios where I wanted to kill some people but not others and having to pull up the menu, slide to options, go to game, switch from non lethal to lethal or vice versa, and then back out is really cumbersome. One other thing that's not a huge issue but has been bugging me is that for some reason, you have to pick between lethal and non-lethal takedowns in the options menu. It might be a thing where you get tailored missions after you take down the rackets, or it might seem less monotonous if you have multiple gangs/territories to go after at once. Still early so that might change, and I hope it does. There's no really unique mission objectives or designs, you just roll up to a building and kill everyone. My biggest concern so far is that the missions don't seem that fun- the prologue is really tight and awesome, but I'm in the middle of taking down the 2nd operation of the first gang and it's mostly generic so far- roll up to one place, stealth takedown/kill everyone and take all the money/bust up the racket, then kill the pimps/pushers, then get to the final guy and kill him/bring him over to your side.
Though maybe it's more cause they didn't really tune the game for full stealth. Might bump the difficulty up from medium to hard because it's actually been really easy for me so far as a stealthy guy, the whistle is way too good lol. Have low aim assist on and the shooting feels good for an open world game. You can choose to go stealthy in pretty much all scenarios if you want, which is generally how I play if I get the option. It's really cool to have collectibles with something to them in a game, instead of just getting pickups that do nothing or just unlock a picture or something. I also really like the collectibles, yeah you get your boobs from the playboys and pinups but there are also articles written in the magazines- I got a couple playboy articles as well as a Hot Rod magazine- that I assume are from the actual issues of the magazines.
Performances have all been great so far as well. Love the documentary setup, and everything from the characters to the dialogue to the bios written about the characters are really well done. The story/writing is really the highlight of the game so far. Though as I said I really don't care about framerate as long as it's above like 20 and isn't hitchy lol There's definitely a blur effect going on but I don't think the game looks bad, it looks pretty nice to me actually. Don't notice frame rate that much and ofc it's locked at 30, but only hitched like twice, really briefly, when driving quickly. I have a Sandy Bridge i5 2400 and a 760TI and I could run on medium/high fine.
Anyone that doesn't have a beast PC and is playing Mafia 3 may be kind enough to chime in on their experience?ĭepends on your definition of "beast". Nothing about it has stood out as amazing to me yet but it seems to have potential to be a pretty good game, everything I've played of it so far has been fun.Īlso having dudes not fully die and just lay there moaning or begging you to put them out of their misery is super dark.Īs someone who has a somewhat old PC now, I am hesitant to try this game out. The camera work when driving is good too. Driving feels good too, a little exaggerated though I found the realistic driving mode less so but still a lot of fun. The animations also look pretty decent and chain together well, stuff like Lincoln actually changing hands when switching which side you are aiming on with a pistol. A good oomph to a lot of the guns as well. Gun handling seems good and the levels of auto targeting are nice to choose from. It plays pretty well, nothing spectacular for an open world shooter but totally competent. Seems to be running at around 30 and looks pretty good (though some of the lighting effects are a little too intense I find).
The PS4 version seems to be fine technically so far.
