I have a name I made for Mafia III. It feels less like a Mafia game and The Punisher set in the 1960s lol. But yes I agree. Mafia IV needs to go back to its roots and be about an Italian/Sicilian-American man rising through the ranks of a mafia family. The problem with Mafia III is clearly the devs had a lot of ambition, but the ambition tripped over itself and it wasn't done that well IMO. Easily my least favourite of the three. Had some good ideas, but was let down by numerous technical issues, incredibly repetitive and stagnant gameplay etc. Matt190, Liberty City Executioner, Ivan1997GTA and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already had III installed so it just updated that install to the DE version. I finished II and am onto 3 now. Is it possible to pre-order the physical version and get instant access to 2 and 3?

I believe it is a digital only offer. I may be wrong. Although, you may want to wait anyway. The remaster of II was enough of a mess.

Original Light Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) While I haven't experienced any issues with Mafia II, Hangar 13 is developing a negative reputation for their studio. They're a new company, and so far everything they've made or touched has had issues. Not a good look for them.

I thought Hangar 13 outsourced Mafia II so they are creating negative reputation for themselves and for whom they outsourced it to. Also, a month ago I was saying that a Mafia I remaster would never happen. Take Two went above and beyond to contradict me.

Liberty City Executioner Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Mafia I is INCREDIBLY underrated. Mafia II is a good game as well. Mafia III though is definitely the black sheep of the Mafia games. GhettoJesus and Ivan1997GTA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmagmaLak Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 During the winter time, pedestrians on the street fall over quite frequently on the snow/ice. I can't remember if that was in the original or a new feature, if so it's quite funny. However, In the games current state it could easily a be glitch of some kind. Also, the achievement for killing 50 gangsters is glitched. Not been unlocked yet on Xbox. Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played 1 or 3. Do it! Spend the few bucks for the digital and get going. I'm enjoying my (I guess 3rd complete) playthrough of 3. I still don't understand why people like to not like 3. 3 keeps a good and diverse story while having the neat mechanic of assigning divisions to underbosses. They weave that in nicely and don't get enough credit for that neatness IMO. The weird thing 3 does to me is make me get all the extras. I never ever do that. I never collect the pointless sh*t. I never 100% a game. But in 3...I have to get every Playboy, Vegas pic, Hot Rod mag, and even every circuit board(or whatever they are). Of course the Playboys are great pieces of history. 2 might be my favorite of the series because of the period setting and well constructed story that works well with 'missions'. I only played Mafia I once in the day...on pc. Long time ago... Totally looking forward to driving slow and using my turn signals.

Original Light Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I finally encountered some serious bugs later on in the game. In Chapter 13 and 14, there was an issue with NPC's aimlessly running into closed doors. It appears that interior doors were supposed to be open, but were all closed which interfered with NPC's programmed paths when in combat. This made for easy stealth missions but it was immersion breaking. Also, Joe is not able to climb obstacles inside any interiors. So during some shootouts, I was completely by myself with Joe stuck way behind, making it impossible for me to finish a mission or exit a building unless I restarted the game. Upon loading it back up, Joe would spawn near me and the mission could be finished. If anyone runs into this issue, reload. A more minor issue is the radio volume significantly lowered after Chapter 12, and I couldn't revert it to normal volume levels even upon restarting the game. Last but not least, this is one of the more hilarious glitches I've encountered - in some scenes, Vito's hat is wrapped around his head. Looks uncomfortable. I definitely think this game is in need of some patches. It's not a terrible effort, but it butchered the original game in so many ways that I may find myself playing the classic version in the future, or I'll use some fan created mods that fix these issues.

I'm playing it on PC, and the 4K textures do make a difference. It's gorgeous, and even the original version looks great by today's standards. Mafia III is identical. It just has all the DLC included with the base game. There are no graphical improvements or bug fixes as far as I know. If anything, there may be some new issues from what I'm hearing.

Commander S Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Huh - so Mafia III DE managed to overwrite the Xbox One X enhancement patch (and I've read PS4 Pro users experiencing similar), but it did include the devs' vehicle testing level in the files: And there's more - most notably, the basic map layout for Hangar 13's aborted follow-up project, "Rhapsody": Mister Pink, Bloodytears1666, The Prince Algie and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodytears1666 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Berlin is very interesting take, wonder if some modders gonna utilize this map, this would be cool to expand Mafia III. Add 60's European cars. This would be like Driver's secret Newcastle, just a place to roam around. Also never heard German 60's pop music:).
