Mafia III - Xbox One

Gameplay of this game might be good and all but it has lots of issues. Game wont start untill you reset your console. Game wont save most of the time. You have to rely on pure luck. Game freezes and crashes more than you can imagine. Most of the time. It just wont start. It has become a headache in just over

I'm in awe how many people are being over critical of this particular title But, I'm sure these are the same Internet hipster that will blindly donate to crowdfunding games Then when those games are released they'll c/o about the investment Gamers in 2016 are bloody stupid and only wear the consumer "hat" When a big bad Publisher does them wrong But, small shady developers get a pass at screwing them I've been playing video games very long (My first home console wasn't the PS2 and I actually went to arcades and put quarters in Arcade cabinets to play games Mafia III is simply phenomenal in every sense of the word Is it perfect? no but, it's minor short comings can be over looked When i first learned of the setting I didn't think I'd like it But, then when more info came out I was all in One thing I'm calling out 2K Games on is the stupid apology the game has before you can even sign in I understand we live in a phony outrage society But, you want to show a portrait of a real time you can't apology for language and images Them doing this just bothers me You never see any type of warning or apology on the nighty news! One other negative towards Mafia III would be the interface it's so confusing going into settings is a massive pain everything is split up into 4 different section you can either chose lethal take down, or a non kill take downs (You can only switch that in the settings which will drive anyone mad It interrupts the flow! I could be wrong on this The interface is so blah and outdated.... If you play it you'll know what I'm talking about its very hard to try and explain (I would've gave the game a solid 10/10 if the interface wasn't so confusing it takes a chunk out of the enjoyment level Story: Is the major selling point It does was Call of Duty: Black Ops should have done It tells a smart story during one of the modern eras most darkest times Between the racial tension, and anti-war It's 1968 and you are in the south and you are a man of color I don't want to ruin the story for anyone it's really smart and enjoyable with slick twist and turns The prologue settings up "how" to play is long and super enjoyable Maybe one of the best prologues I've ever played to a game Graphics: Are a mixed bag (All the cut scenes look fantastic the facial animation/capture is on par with L.A. Noire the game itself runs very smooth I've put a good 40+ hrs into it the game itself crashed on me one time There's a lot of saves spots that will help trust me For a open world game it's solid (No open world game to date has been flawless don't be fooled Even if you have a $15,000 high end gaming PC it's not going to be flawless so much going on screen there are minor bugs, in all these games even the Golden child GTA5 Could this game run on the previous generation hardware???? I doubt it.... it would've crashed or flat out killed any XBox 360 or PS3 Controls: after maybe 20minutes tops you'll be good to go everything becomes second nature The driving at first is a bit hinky (It's not Sim style driving it reminds me of Sega's Crazy Taxi) Different vehicles handle differently.... But, you can chose Sim style driving if that's your thing If you drive a 18 Wheeler you have to use some logic unless you drop the back end, the sea crafts handle ok (more or less mimicking Sleeping Dogs) Breaking into building is balanced and easy using weapons is easy, the hand to hand combat is "there" it's not terrible but, it's not perfect it's above average Audio/Licensed music: The audio is really good DTS 5.1 the games score fits, every voice over cast members fits in this world (There's all types of smart written dialogue even by the back ground characters the radio stations are awesome with great 1960's music from R&B, Country, and Rock & Roll almost all the licensed music is gold Game play: It's a open world set in 1968 Louisiana The world itself is crazy huge (made up of a factory district, middle class, down town, slums, swamps, then more of a higher society Depending on where you are you'll be talked to differently depending on where you are In the High Class area of the city the people talk down to you, cops watch you more and will also say crazy racist remarks to you some buildings/stores have signs that say whites only (If you walk in there the owner will walk at you very fast and try and kick you out and threaten to call the police! The AI of the Police is a mixed bag sometimes they are a bit thick and easy to outsmart But, if you get to many of them on you they will shoot you up like Bonnie and Clyde The AI of the enemy gangs on the other hand are very relentless and smart if you encounter them the wrong way You can play the game two ways run and gun or be smart and go in stealth Stealth is the smart way until you get a idea of patterns and how different AI think The Stealth is streamlined and easy to pick up it's like Manhunt or the first couple of Assassin's Creed games I'm not a fan of pure stealth games this isn't one of those The gun play is balanced not arcade but, it's not completely stiff The open world itself is very much a live with a day/night cycle and a weather cycle Plenty of items to Collected for all those people out there with OCD You collect Playboy Magazines, Auto Magazines, Pin-up Art, Propaganda Posters, Classic vinyl records, and religious paintings you can also come across these green cylinders Once you have enough and you get to a point in the main story campaign you can plant wire taps (A Easter egg aiming at Watergate) Which gives you icons where the collectables are I've put at least 35hrs into the game I've barely scratched the surface Check out all the images I've posted If you love American History/the underdog open world games like Just Cause, Mafia II, Mad Max, Saints Row, Sunset Overdrive you'll love this game It's one of the best games of the Year I've played 9.5/10 MS Gamertag: Duckman 1979 (Look at all the still images and videos I've made on this game) I really enjoy it

El juego llegó exactamente como lo pedí, está nuevo y sellado, funciona bien y me está gustando la historia.

This is a great game. Sorta like GTA meets LA NOIR. It arrived the next day as promised.

This game is awesome, but it definitely needs an update and fast there are just so many major glitches in it that make it impossible be able to complete the game at 100%. For example on some missions that you have to steal a truck out in the bayou, you get all the way down there and there's truck to steal. Or on the "weed boat" missions, you have to go to the bayou and steal a boat full of weed and delivery it to a marked location, and it's really frustrating to drive all the way down in the bayou (which by the way is a long drive) and, no boat steal, so you can't finish those missions I think that the one main thing that is more important than anything, especially since Christmas coming up... THIS GAME IS NOT FOR CHILDREN! In fact it's probably not for some sensitive adults. You have to remember that this is the deep south in 1968, and you are a black man. A black man in the 60's and after MLK has just been recently assassinated. You can't count how often the "N" word is used. Like I said, not for kids. If you grew up in the 60's, you are gonna love the soundtrack! Nothing but 60's music Protest songs like "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire to"Love Child" by The Supremes. 100+ songs. It even has real content in the news breaks such as James Earl Ray's extradition back to Tennessee, and the guy in Texas that hijacked the plane to Cuba. All in all, this is really an awesome game, i would give it a 5*, but they have got to give it an update to fix this very important glitches...

La referencia con la serie de GTA es inevitable, pero no por eso es malo, no duden en darle una oportunidad.
