placidcasual Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is this any good? I fancy it, but the AI looks bad. Game-breakingly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Started to play it tonight but I'm not sure about it so far. The biggest pull of the original was the actual Mafia stuff and I'm not sure how changing the main character to a non-mafia member will work.

I've only played around 10 minutes of it, and the only real thing I can say is that I think the driving's quite shite. Not played enough of it, though.

Bert Raccoon Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Stuck it on my Christmas list so let's hope Santa delivers. Looks great but I'll be interested to hear what the gameplays like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Stupid question, but what is he then? From what I've gathered so far, he's a mixed-race Vietnam veteran who is helping his old friends take on the mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It's 1968 and the rules have changed. After years of combat in Vietnam, Lincoln Clay knows this truth: Family isn't who you're born with, it's who you die for. Now back home in New Bordeaux, Lincoln is set on escaping a criminal past. But when his surrogate family, the Black Mob, is betrayed and wiped out by the Italian Mafia, Lincoln blazes a path of revenge and redemption through the Mafioso responsible. It will take more than a few friends to make it in this new world. Intense gun fights, visceral hand-to-hand combat, white knuckle driving, and street smarts will all be needed. But with the right crew, tough decisions, and some dirty hands, it's possible to make it to the top of the city's underworld. It's time to create a new family on the ashes of the old.

Homer Thompson Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hmm. I can just about sum up a meh Shame as I really enjoyed the second one and was quite looking forward to this. Might go back and give the first one a play instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Keep with it, I'm finding it brilliant, visually superb on the Xbox too. Getting past the first bit was frustrating but now I'm into the game and into doing my own things I'm loving it. Find the setting absolutely fascinating too.

1320Lichtie Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Amazing Skybox graphics There's a problem with the PC version so can't comment on that but the graphics on console are absolutely superb and the best I've seen in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the black Mafia that gets betrayed by the Italian one (Not a spoiler first thing you do in the game) and seeks revenge by creating his own gang.Pretty sure the Mafia isn't just an Italian thing, applies to any gang of organised criminals. Although that's where it originated from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully get a bit more into it when the story expands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics are unreal but the driving seemed a bit off. Hopefully get a bit more into it when the story expands. I've not played a game in ages but got this and will get battlefield 1. Finding myself doing and enjoying all the wee side missions purely because of the map being so interesting and they all seem meaningful, driving takes a while to get used to. Favourite part of its the different variety you've got when doing missions, enjoying being a sneaky b*****d at the moment. Eta: know what you mean though, would like to see Mafia 4 return to the old school Italian style New York one. They games are always good fun. But really enjoying the story that's unfolding in this one. The attention to detail about events going on in this time period is superb, loving the music too.

WFAANW Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Steal a car in Mafia 2 as a white guy and no one bats an eyelid. Steal a car in this and abut 40 coppers are after you. Far too realistic for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
