Fun fact, The Suicide Squad (2021) was a box office flop, whereas Suicide Squad (2016), the only academy award winning DCEU film, was a box office smash hit!
Taking out enemies with cameras, gadgets and traps in an open world is pretty nice. Gameplay a bit different in every game.
The story in the first one, wasn't that interesting to me and a lot of reviewers talked about how wooden Aiden Pierces personality was. Also suicidal killer cop cars that will run over everyone and everything to get to you, hehe.
Second game is different in story and setting (San Francisco), mechanics and controls slightly different. I liked it, but again not for the story, same with the third, where everyone talks in street slang bruv...but the open world, stealth, drones, puzzles and hacking made me sink 60 hours into that game. Haven't played the DLC for Legion, one can play Aiden Pierce, but I am not sure it is worth the price, even at discount.
Hated the main character. The guy in part 1 was a vigilante out for blood. But the second, you’re some millennial, happy, hipster hacker. It makes no sense running around the city tearing shit up with the second protagonist
Now if ubisoft could go under too. I’m still pissed the splinter cell games are such a shit show on PC and they have the neck to ask for full price with the bugs and multiplayer being disabled. They can get fucked
Part 2 is polarizing, half the people love it the other hate it. Part 3 is just trash, it’s the one I played last and barely remember any of it cause it was so bad
I didn’t like the protagonist in part 2. It made no sense to me, tearing through the city, blowing up shit, killing people, as this happy, hipster hacker. At least the first protagonist was a vigilante out for blood, so the carnage made sense.
Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.
No info yet but I would be very surprised if it gets cancelled at this stage. The remakes sold very well apparently and Mafia 4 has been in development for quite some time already.
Gotta agree with you there. Mafia 3 was a decent game but it didn’t really fit the tone of the series. The fact that they nailed the Remake of Mafia 1 makes me hopeful for the sequel.
What specifically didn’t you like about 3? I haven’t played any of them, but we’ve had a drought of crime stories in games lately, so I’m looking forward to seeing another one come out (that isn’t Yakuza).
Personally I feel like the game doesn’t respect my time as a gamer. There are too many time-constrained mini games and mechanics. Having to wait for the things to overlap so you can break open an electrical box? Why can’t I just rip it open immediately? He takes too long to get in and out of vehicles. All the collectibles were weirdly spaced so they were a little far to get to on foot, but way too short to just drive around collecting them (read again about how he takes too long to get in and out of cars). Too many oodjob missions as well imo.
The first two had a slow burn story where the semi open world progresses through time so it was a character in itself. Cars felt like cars of the era esp 1 there’s like one mission you get to rip around town. 3 squandered an interesting time and setting for saints row like open world full of nonsense
On the one hand, it kinda devolved into a generic open-world time-waster, where I and II were mostly story-based action-adventure games. Car handling, as someone else said also made the game what it is for a large part, driving a Model T felt like it was from that era. The low acceleration especially made car chases high impact, which I haven’t seen done in any other games. The story was actually about the Mafia, as in Italian-American organized crime, and I felt it got diluted by the change of atmosphere in III.
I don’t think III is a bad game, it’s just not a Mafia game. They could have sold it under a different name, and made a proper Mafia III.
You have to conquer areas of the city to proceed with the story. You go to some place like a factory, kill everyone, leave, a boss of the factory becomes alerted, comes to the factory, you go back and kill everyone again to get to the boss, kill or hire the boss. And that’s like 80% of the game. I think there were 20-30 repetitive missions like that with 0 substance. But Mafia I and Mafia II are fully focused on the story.
gamepass and other subscription services wouldn’t exist in the first place if steam had some trial gameplay, i know you can buy something and refund it in the first two hours but average gamer doesn’t know this
