The comment son steam forums say it didn't do shit. Sounds legit.
What a surprise.
At least Batman AK had somewhat good gameplay and story.
But this game is crap on most levels.

UPDATE 10/14: We just rolled out a hotfix on PC that addresses blurry rendering for some players, and other stability improvements.We’re still working on more fixes for Mafia III and will share more details in the coming week. Thanks for the feedback!
The previous hotfix uncapped the framerate and nothing else (That they actually said at least.) and it was also around 1 GB apparently, I didn't check that myself though as it had already been downloaded when I checked Steam on the morning but that's what I read at least.
Yep that's the problem. The main story seems great, but it's surrounded by crap I guess they had to lengthen the game with shit, because it's required to sell these days. Most people would rather collect bullshit for 50 hours instead of play a great story for 10 hours I guess.
Well, only played for ~1h so far. But the first impression i got was not really good.
The shooting is great, the best I've seen in this kind of games. The weapons feel right and the bodies physics add a great feeling of satisfaction when killing someone. Not to mention that Lincoln is a bad ass and he moves like one with a weapon in his hand.
The story is great so far, the most I've enjoyed in a Mafia game. The documentary presentation works really well and the characters are not only plausible but well written and perfectly voiced.
These two things keep me playing despite the huge number of bugs, the poor optimization and the grindy mission design.
Mafia games always had the problem of having a big world with not much to do in it. The devs tried to fix that in this game by adding a lot of filler content which was a good idea, but it was a terrible decision to force all that content into the main story. All the good missions and story sequences are diluted by this grind...

so much right in one post
Personally i have 0 technical issues, but there is nothing to "cure" the game from the forceful grinding.
Thanksfuly i also really enjoy the shootouts. the guns feel great and the impact and death animations on the enemies..... YUMMM!! makes shooting them and watching them stagger realistically with every bullet impact, then flopping to the ground so lifelike.... umm... death like??
Anyway - it rivals GTAV's euphoria and surpasses it, IMO.
Anyways, If Hangar 13 had taken 50% of the small repetitive main missions you need to do [to smoke the under bosses out] and allowed them to become side content you can do later (meaning you do more damage to marcano's operations with every tiny mission you do, allowing you to skip these small missions) that would have kept the amount of content of the game, allowed players who love those missions to do them later YET allowed the story to be more condensed and purefied the main story line, thus having almost the same content only a better game. that's what im thinking.
persoanlly i am doing all of the missions cuz i like them, as repetitive as they are, so i dont mind this, but i totally get those who don't like them as much and just want to move faster between set piece to set piece. legit complaint.
There is a lot to do in the game (a lot of it is the same) but why force it on people who want a traditional mafia game (which is a linear story game)?

i dont know why but it kinda sctratched by yearly assassins creed itch so far
but will probably wait for some extensive patching before playing more
hehe. i get what you mean. this game is a lot like AC. i always wondered how a modern AC would feel like and Watch dogs and Mafia 3 are my answer, i guess.
Man, i miss AC. i love AC:U and hated AC:S (because of the combat, and i love a good combat system) and i can't wait for the egypt one. so for now M3 will have to do...
and maybe WD2. we'll see how it turns out.
Just finished the game at around 30 hours, without side crap, as if most story missions werent already repetitive ubishit.
A game with far better story and writing than GTA5, but at the same time far worse gameplay.
Many gameplay mechanics are simply fucked, and the repetitive takeover missions are a travesty, especially after you realize that the fuckers copypasted whole building interiors 1:1 into buildings of other missions, fucking unforgivable lazyness.
It's really sad, I had to force myself to play through these shitty missions because the story was really gripping.
I just treat it as a Rambo game, cause Lincoln Clay is pretty much a black John Rambo anyways.
I was thinking black Punisher.
Vietnam vet comes home to his family, family is killed by mobsters, he declares war on organized crime and uses his military training and psychological warfare to dismantle their whole organization.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Disagree. The start may have been very good and probably better, but the lack of consistency and open world aspects in the game just aren't close nor comparable with the parody, action genre GTA V is in. That's like Witcher 3 being compared with Dragon Age Inquisition.

Yeah, I resisted for 15 hours or so because I really wanted to see how far they could go..but had to give up eventually.
Whenever there's an interesting plot development, the game punctually breaks the mood and punishes the player with the "damage pl0x". Every. single. time. It almost looks intentional, made by professional trolls xD
So I decided to inevitably uninstall the "game" and watched this instead:

i found GTAV's story a lot more interesting. M3's story (thus far, im not at the end yet. i have 2 more districts to take over) is a simple revenge story where nothing changes on the way. no interesting connections to new characters and no change of intentions for the partagonist or anything. its well presented, but the plot is nothing special.
However, GTAV's missions, as varied as they are, are very scripted and linear. there is no way to complete missions in GTAV any differently a second time around. 10 different players will complete these missions 90% the same way. you cant form strategy, you can't make up a plan, you cant be creative, you cant use stealth, you cant deviate from the plan forced upon you.
Mafia 3 at least gives you a way to tackle the smaller missions more freely.
and yes, there are a lot of copy paste of interiors, but it has SO many interiors to navigate through and use as a part of exploration or mission taking for flanking, ambushing etc. GTAV has none of that. i feel like M3 has more unique interiors than GTAV, and then it copy pastes them over and over again with small variety on top of that.
GTAV is a fantastic game, but Mafia 3, a mediocre one, surpasses it in a few aspects and i like giving credit where credit is due.
So, i finally got pissed by the performance and put the game on the lowest settings. To my surprise, the game not only plays at almost acceptable framerate, (40-58 fps), but also looks better than on high settings! WTF

Isn't this just due to the fact that putting AA on "low" makes it look much better (which was discovered the first day of release).

Not only that, but the reflections make everything looks "glassy". On low it's a lot more real.
