I’m currently playing mafia 2 and I like it but I wonder if I should start playing mafia 3 after since I heard people say the game is dissapointing
Can somebody please tell me why this is the third Mafia thread I’ve seen? Are they on sale or something?
Edit: nevermind, it is all the same person. Would I be a dick for suggesting they contain it to one Mafia thread?
It’s an okay game, but far worse than the first two. They forced an open world onto it, and made it pretty repetitive. The DLC is more linear and feels a lot more like a typical Mafia story telling.
Oh man I remember the open-world obsession era. It’s still sort of with us, but a few companies are daring to stick with linear narratives that don’t allow as many branching paths, like Control or Alan Wake 2. Even non-linear narratives are being pulled off in non-open-world games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
I liked all three mafia games. I only just played them in the last couple years tho, so I had no idea what anybody else was saying about them.
The map looks and feels amazing, one of my favourite worlds in a game, and the main story missions are really, really good
BUT
To unlock said story missions you have to do multiple hours of open world tasks, most of which consist of going to an area and mindlessly killing everybody. If you enjoy grinding, you will probably like it, I have a friend who does, but I couldn’t bring myself to finish it because I found unlocking the story missions mind-numbing.
It’s disappointing, but not a bad game.
