Imagine how kino Mafia would be if Vavra got to finish writing Mafia 2.

You're about to get in your first fight pretty soon. You don't kill anyone in it, though :^)

Honestly, I think those kinds of slow starts are kino in theory, but I just can't imagine myself caring for open world sloppa in 2025.

>>717721779 (OP)
Isn't that like 1/3 of the games runtime?

You're approximately an hour and a half away from the first segment where you shoot guns and kill people. After that, it's another hour before you do it again. Hope you like taking pictures.

Just put me in the world already. I don't want to play your 2 hour linear cinematic bullshit. If you're going to do this, make it shorter.

I really think Oblivion is a good example of how to frontload your story is a meaningful way that doesn't feel offputting.

there's actual dust being kicked up in this image and it's still way clearer than OP, was it a memory sequence or something

>>717723591
The game looks clear as fuck most of the time. must be the volumetric lightning during that scene. personally i don't see the issue.

>You got it, Mr. Aziz. I'll deliver those bottles before you know it.

Sounds comfy. Can you just play the whole game making wine and delivering orders around the map? I would rather do that than shoot

>>717721779 (OP)
it's bizarre that people willfully pay full price for shit like this knowing that it will be on sale for half-price or more in the coming months or year. also, if we're just going full italian why not have a game during resurgimiento? that would be way more cooler and action packed than this derived crap.

>>717721779 (OP)
cleant it up, goyslop

does this game have cute italian girls?

>>717721779 (OP)
Sounds kino
Also, that's pretty standard mafia game setup. The game gives you some boring monotonous wagie job that you hate to make you want to kill people and commit crimes.

Probably should've waited for a sale. Audience seems to think it's a mid experience and I agree. Even at $50 that seems too high for the experience and time you'll get out of it.

I didn't say anything about pirating, retarded namefag. It's no secret that games become heavily discounted months/year after release because all modern games inevitably flop and need to recoup their losses.

Gameplay:
mafia og > mafia 3 > mafia remake > mafia old country > mafia 2

Cinematography:
Mafia old country > Mafia remake > Mafia 2 > Mafia og > mafia 3

The game is only 50€, not even full price, just dont be a poor salesfag.

I'm an OG Mafia fan and am unironically pissed they removed the open world YES FUCK YOU IT'S BEEN A PART OF THE SERIES SINCE THE BEGINNING AND THE THING TO DO WOULD BE IMPROVE IT INSTEAD OF JUST FUCKING REMOVE IT

Is it any good?

For reference for me it's Mafia CoLH > Mafia 2 = Mafia DE (Parts of it are better than the OG but a lot of it isn't the ending in particular is a lot worse but everything with his wife its great) >>>>>>>>>> Mafia 3

>>717726147
You're mocking people for paying full-price. I'm mocking you because you clearly still want it. But I don't stop there. I mock everyone who pirates this because they're not better than retards paying full price. Get it? You're beneath me. The desire in your heart to even try this slop makes you nigger cattle. I don't make the rules! God does.

The game's actually pretty kino. I do like the slick and "to the point" mission design, compared to whatever the fuck Mafia 3 was.
And I already can tell shit is about to go down, because the MC can't keep it in his pants.

>>717723364
15 chapters, how quickly you speed through them depends on the person.

Sounds amazing. Buying this.

>>717722853
Now it looks like a late 360 era games lighting

>>717732207
Compare it with the intros to 1 and 2 though. In 1 you get immediately into a car chase running from people, and only the next mission after is a slow one because he goes back to his normal job. 2 is just non-stop really, with the only dogshit pacing killer being selling those gas tickets which is just a full circle around the map on a time limit. If you fail, no checkpoints. Not one before you start, the closest checkpoint was before the mission even starts.

The mine section should've been longer. I hate how the mc forgets his dead friend quickly after the escape.

How does this compare as Mediterranean kino compared to AC Odyssey and Dragon's Dogma (Gransys is based on Sicily)

i genuinely know nothing about mafia games and i have no interest in them
But i really want to play mafia 3 with the sole goal of finding the place from the video where the kid is shitting himself. Like, a quest

Is this a Mafia game that actually takes place in Sicily?

>>717734135
Try it, you might actually get surprised by its niggerkinoness.

>>717734386
Yes, it even has a full Sicilian dub

>>717734647

>>717721779 (OP)
I don't mind movie games as long as the gameplay is good.

Death Stranding is a good example. Great game even if I don't like Kojimbo's shitty ass hollywood wannabe cutscenes.

But this shit is literally just cutscenes with some filler walking segments with barebones shooting and stealth segments. It's legitimately depressing that people have gotten to the point that this game is very positively rated on Steam. It's insane. It's not a videogame at all, it really isn't.

Why even make a movie game these days? You could just watch the full playthrough on Youtube and it would be the same as if you bought it yourself.

Imagine the same game but in Roman times

>>717735857
Because mocapping a bunch of cutscenes with C-list actors with a shitty script some retard millenial wrote is infinitely easier than desigining a good game.

Do zoomies really consume this shit?
I watched like 15 minutes of it and the writing is so fucking laughably bad. Have standards fallen so low? This shit literally looked like it was written and acted by ChatGPT.

>>717736216
Jew love to romanticize the Italian Mafia in films, they were mostly played by jewish actors and were a low tier B-movie genre for mass consumption, guilty pleasure so average Mutt can fantasize about beinga violent successful criminal.
It was the gangster rap of its day and itaisnas were barely above nignogs.
Then Godfather made it KINO for boomers who grew up in the 40's and 50's, but by 70's Feds all broke them up.

All the immigrant groups had organized criminals, Irish, Jewish, etc, but Jews preferred to use Italians because their big-nosed semites could pass for one and they love shiting on Catholics by proxy.

The game is the same as mind(mutt)eyes, locking the sandbox open world and only get to play it after beating the game. mafia is even worse because you cant kill civilians and the map is empty with nothing to do.

1.) Player is retarded and takes forever to do anything. If you play you can do it as fast or slow as you want
2.) Player picked X when you wanted to pick Y during a decision

Now that you can skip more precisely on Youtube 1 is less of a problem, but I still vastly prefer playing at my own pace. Not really relevant to Mafia though there's no decision making at all

It's such a shame that the game is so beautiful, and yet it all serves as window dressing. It seems like you can't interact with the world in any meaningful way. Can you even rob stores? Perform heists? Recruit thugs? Run a business? Pay off politicians and cops. I can keep going. It will be cool if the devs could add most of these features in freeplay mode in the future.

>all screenshots
post it in motion pussy

>>717753152
the free-ride mode of mafia remake (i think the original had something similar) is the most barebones mode of freeplay imaginable. the only meaningful thing you can do is drive and kill people but when laying it out like that one would say, 'what more do you want?' Something like what you mentioned, robbing stores etc instead of just a shallow experience that I can get from gta (which does it better anyway).

abeebida babida boobida!

>>717753426
Imagine in the next installment, they forgo the story all together, and prioritize on these suggestions. Running a criminal empire sounds amazing. And they should go in-depth with the politics of the underworld. Sponsor politicians who will help your mob by providing favors. Paying off the media. Assassinate journalists. There is so much potential.

>>717753152
>Can you even rob stores? Perform heists? Recruit thugs? Run a business? Pay off politicians and cops
mafia was never, and will never, be a gta clone.
play gta.

>>717754534
>mafia was never, and will never, be a gta clone.
In 1,you have literally nothing to do other than drive from one mission to the next. There is nothing good about insisting on an open world and then filling it with nothing. 2's devs thought the same, but unfortunately they ran out of time before they could fill the open world with content. Should've taken a cue from the Godfather games
