DSV Test ASIN 5

The game : Pros:1) The story. PERIOD. No other reason is needed to buy this game.2) Setting. The game is set in the 60s and they have captured the time period quite well. Plus they've captured the racial tension at the time quite well. And yes, you can kill some KKK members.3)Shooting and driving feels violently satisfying. Hearing the roar of American muscle while you shoot some random gangsters with your Tommy gun, priceless!4)Vito is back and boy does it feel good to see an old face! Yes, Joe's disappearance is explained.5)The massive open world is just so pretty to look at.The cons:1) As much as I hate to say it, this game is a s***ty console port and is plagued with numerous graphical bugs. 30 fps cap, blurry/muddy look etc. Patches have removed the frame limit, but even still people with gtx 1080s are barely touching 60fps. My recommendation is to run the game at 30 fps.2)Before you can get to a story mission, you have to do these repetitive mini-missions, which is pretty much rinse and repeat.3)The world is not as immersive as mafia 2, remember opening windows, shoe shining, buying food from a hot dog vendor, changing clothes, customizing your vehicle? These are simply not there in mafia 3. However, the game developers have promised to release an update allowing you to customize your characters clothes in the near future.The package : 6 dvds, one key for the game, one key for the pre-order dlc and a massive map of New Bordeaux. After installing the game you'll still have to sit and install 6GB from steam, esp because 2 patches have been released for the game.VERDICT: If a story is more important to you, more important than 60fps then buy the game. I know it's not great, especially in 2016, but trust me it won't spoil your experience.7/10. - 3 for the optimization issues, I was really looking forward to playing this and they let my expectations down.

Initially the game wasn't working and I had to contact amazon to initiate a refund. I bought it then off of G2A and heres what I think-Owning a GTX1080, even on ultra settings(MSAA OFF) at 4K I am not able to get a smooth, visually pleasing game performance. Optimal was 1080P at 60FPS with MSAA ON.The game stutters occasionally.It is a not so challenging game and often too easy even with the most difficult of settings.No fast travel feature hence it can take ages traveling across the map for something like a 5 min objective and then back again to progress further.DO not buy the game unless you're a die hard Mafia fan. Wait for the prices to drop and then buy it as it isn't worth it just yet.I'd recommend a GTX 970 or higher for optimal game-play.

Guys don't buy this game it's very hard to install and you have download 8.5gb from stream

This game is amazing!!! I love the series

Does not run on my pc. Also amazon does not have return policy on this.

The game comes with 6 discs , still 5-6 gb files are to be downloaded via steam client in order to play the game (total size of the game on pc is 40.6 gb) . The game also includes New Boadeaux street and map guide along with family kick back pack (preorder bonus).pros;-1. Splendid graphics.2. This is the first truly open world Mafia game.3. Soundtrackcons;-1. Random crashes.System config used to test the game is as follows;-amd fx 8350gtx 660 2 gb ddr58 gb ram1600x900p resolutionAlthough the game runs just fine with almost no fps drops, the game was patched by 2k (on 9 oct patch size= 1.2gb) it is no longer capped at 30 fps.

I'm so much anxious to play itIt may be delayed due 2 reasons for it I need the game in PC & the cost was too much for me before to buy&I trust the products which are used by steam

Very good game better than mafia 2 graphics awesome juat best. At 1.7k its a fine product

I'm playing this game now for the second time. Its the most fun of any PC game that I have ever played, and is realistic enough to keep me interested all the way to the end (if there is an end -- I haven't found it, but seemed to eventually run out of new missions). Have had no problem playing the game with an older PC and newer graphics card (Core i7 2600K CPU, RX 480 graphics card, and 27 inch Monitor -- played full screen wiith HDMI 1080 output/input.

Quick summarizationGreat story 10/10Amazing atmosphere 10/10Graphics 5/10Optimization 4/10Voice acting 10/10Interaction with open world 3/10Driving 4/10Soundtrack 10/10AI 4/10Immersiveness 4/10Rushed release. The story is 10/10 but the rest of the game is hard to get over. It is a hard game to play if you really loved Mafia I and II. This isn't what a AAA game should like. It becomes clear when playing that they had an amazing story and I mean an amazing story line but didn't have the gameplay to back it up. You end up doing the same tasks over and over to the point you know what is going to happen. Not only that but the game is an open world which would be great if you had things to do besides the main story line.Yes they are releasing races, car customization, and clothing options but for people who bought and played on release day it makes little to no difference because the vast majority of players who were hyped aren't going back to the game. For instance look at the pre-release videos that showed you could feed a body to gators! That great and is really cool but in my entire playthrough i didn't have to do this or even need to do this once. And what that brings me into is the AI the AI is last gen maybe even two gens ago with them not giving a crap if you shot someone right in front of them or even hid in plain sight.And since we are talking about gunfights what happens if you attack a person on the streets? They call the cops but what if you take them out before they can someone else calls the police and you can do this enough times no one ends up calling the police and you just killed 10 people. Even the police aren't as good as Mafia I and III. Mafia I you run through a red light you get a ticket had to follow speeds and traffic. Mafia II removed the red light rule but kept the idea of getting a ticket or fine for doing things you aren't supposed to. Mafia III go as fast as you want hit other cars it doesn't matter. Yes we all heard it had a 30FPS cap for PC. And the keyword here is had now with the patch you are will be able to get a whooping 40-50 FPS with top tier hardware.But what do the graphics look like do the entail this level of stress on our rigs? With patch so minus the random sun glares and thing like that & graphics are around the same level as Mafia II. With some aspects of Mafia II graphics beating Mafia III. Mafia II had far more immersive little things that just added to the atmosphere. One of the most notable things in Mafia III is the fact they have a huge rail system but we have no trains or trolleys that they showed in the preview videos but we kept the track. But hey at least it is open world right? This was really sad and kind of a major disappointment(I was prepared to spend 100hrs in the world but I completed everything that was out there in 37 hours. If you just came from playing Mafia II where you could buy items from shops, help a random lady with her car, and even crash into buildings. Mafia III on the other hand is a watered down version of this where you can do the essentials and that's it. (They have Pawn Shops and restaurants but the most you can do is rob them for a few bucks no real interaction). This game has a ton of driving and is something that was super fun in Mafia I and II so how does it compare? Imagine you put soap all over the floor and then walked on it. I use this example because yes you can walk but it hard. To go along with this the car's damage models are hard to actually distinguish. One of the biggest let downs for driving is the fact that you don't really have to do anything to steal a car like you did in Mafia II you just sorta do it. The game is a ok game is it worth the 60 or 50 bucks on release day nope was i crazy excited for this game to come out yes. Was it a tab bit of a let down yes. This game is definitely a bargain bin game for like 8 bucks and not a AAA game as much as it hurts me to say this. But on a second had one of the best soundtracks a game has had in years.Thank You for reading this.

I hope to bump this product up to five stars in the future. As you'll see there are some really annoying issues right now.I never played the original Mafia, but I did play Mafia 2. That game was decent, but had some issues that prevented it from being a truly great game. The best thing about that game was the story. It was one of those games that really felt like a movie at times. That fact peaked my interest in Mafia 3.Jump ahead a few months, I'm sitting Mafia 3 PAX East panel and feeling that interest grow. I thought to myself, "If they only pull off half of that, It'll blow away the first two games."Jump to now. Thanks to good old Amazon shipping, two day shipping ended up being one day delivery and I got to give this game a nice workout.GRAPHICS: The graphics are decent. They are not quite as impressive as GTA 5 on ultra or The Witcher 3, but they are more than adequate for a AAA game.PERFORMANCE: In the words of Eric Cartman "I hate you guys so much...". The developer crapped their pants on this one. They made a cardinal error when releasing a PC game. THEY PUT IN A FPS CAP!!! Seriously?!? I know why you did it. You didn't want to delay the PC version of the game. You placed a 30 FPS cap on the console versions and you thought it was something you could patch out of the PC version. It still sucks and it's why you re losing a star until you fix it.STORY: So far it's really good. In many ways it's better than 2. I love some of the throw backs to the older games.GAME PLAY: They did some really fun things with the game play to open it up a little and make you want to play it more than once. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say this: THINK HARD before you make a decision. I put this under game play, instead of story for a reason. As you play, you'll see why.CARS: I like to put this into any open world review. The cars are good for an open world game. They are not great. I'm still waiting for someone to make a GTA style game that has cars that handle like Forza or Need for Speed. It seems like it should be possible, but no one has done it yet. Besides that there are lots different cars that run the range of performance.ACTION: If you like a game that feels like an action movie, this one will fit the bill. At times I wish they had scaled it back. It pushes the boundary and feels violent for the sake of violence. I do not enjoy that. I've never found mindless / pointless violence to be enjoyable.GLITCHES: You are going to find a few. They need to do so patching. Thankfully the auto save kicks in on a regular basis so you shouldn't lose much progress. Why? Does it crash? I haven't had it crash yet, but I did get stuck in a door. I wish I had captured a video of that. It was not fun.OVERALL: This is a great open world game with a good story. It needs some polishing, but I'm sure they will patch out most of the glitches. There are no real deal breakers in regards to the game play, so this one gets a green light.

Product stopped working half way through the game with an error the activation code was invalid contact the Manufacture, "2K.com", only their response is they do not deal with any problems their product may give its users, to contact the vendor. Now how in the world do they expect the Vendor(Amazon in this case) to fix their software??? DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY There is plenty of similar software from manufactures that care about the customers that pay $59.99 for their products!!

Not very fun compared to Mafia 2. Game mechanics aren't that great and it's super repetitive.
