    This is one of "worst" of the trilogy...story is very good as soon as all the characters and main protagonist but this has too much bug and fps drop sometimes,the song are very amazing and A.I. is very bad and has an amount of activities but its too repetitive but after all its still a good game with a good story.

    I played the first two Mafia games and I think the are genre classics. Mafia III is a bit of a let down. I like the graphics and the interview-style story, but it is repetitive and the AI is just bad. I hope the studio learns from the mistakes. Not bad but just not great. Overall rating: 7.4.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Для меня же эта часть спустя время переплюнула бледный сиквел, поскольку в плане постановки и сценария 3-йка явно получилась лучше. Работа по воссозданию эпохи так же проведена огромная, как и работа с шутерной частью, которая здесь одна из сильнейших со времен, не побоюсь этих слов, триквела Макса Пэйна! Именно она не позволяет мне сильно хейтить репетативность проекта. Спустя время оптимизацию отшлифовали и выпустили ряд очень годных дополнений, которые вносят того самого разнообразия предыдущих частей.… Expand

Сюжет очень странный в начале нам рассказывают интересную историю, а уже к середине игры всё превращается в глупую мясорубку где ты должен в стиле рембо всех убивать. Физика оружия улучшилась по сравнению с предыдущими частями, теперь приятно стрелять с разного оружия и даже хочется попробовать все виды ганов, но это всё также не дотягивает до проектов современной игровой индустрии. Физика машин отвратительна, машины чувствуются пластмассовыми. Игра оставляет смешанные чувства и как правило негативные, но несмотря на всё мне было приятно провести время за игрой, особенно когда я не думал что это продолжение великой серии мафия.… Expand

Das hat Hangar 13 leider positiven Kritiken gekostet, Kritiken, die das Spiel aber eigentlich verdient hätte, denn vieles macht der Entwickler mit dem dritten Teil der Serie wirklich gut. Im Gegensatz zu den Vorgängern gibt es in der großen Open World des Spiels nun nämlich auch diverse Aufgaben und Nebenquests aufzuspüren. Wenn das Konzept auch lediglich der Ubisoft Formel folgt, so viel gab es in einem Mafia Spiel noch nie zu tun. Star des Spiels ist aber die wieder einmal hervorragend erzählte Geschichte, die neben Cut Scenes auch durch Filmschnipsel im Dokumentarstil realisiert wird. Das ist toll gemacht und gibt dem Spiel eine ganz eigene Note. Dass es dennoch nicht mit Open World Spielen von Sony oder Rockstar mithalten kann, liegt vor allem an schnell repetitiv werdenden Nebenaufgaben. Wer vor allem aber an einem guten Story Spiel in einer Open World interessiert ist, der kommt bei Mafia 3 sicherlich auf seine Kosten.… Expand

Но вот вышла Mafia 3 и.....как не странно, я её прошел до конца!
    Что я могу сказать по поводу увиденного, так сказать.
    Ёлы палы, мы имеем клон гта! Только в 60х годах. Но клон очень качественный.
    Во первых в игре очень удобно стрелять. Это её выгодно отличает от той же Mafia 2.
    Ну сюжет так себе, хотя, как я понял, задействован протагонист предыдущей игры. Три группы борются за сферу влияния, а ты с их помощью решаешь свои вопросы.
    Графон порадовал. Выглядит игра очень хорошо.
    Порадовали, как это не странно, покатушки на машине, (ненавижу покатушки), машина тебя слушается, управлять легко.
    Порадовал стелс, да он однокнопочный и требуется доработка ии, но он работает.
    Напрягает однообразность заданий, 99% это убей и принеси, 1% узнай информацию. Всё. Из-за этого игра кажется очень затянутой.

    There's some good stuff about this game, but the people giving this and 8, 9, or even 10 are being insane.

    I really enjoyed the "simulation" driving in this game. It's at times wonky as hell, but overall I did grow to like it quite a bit. The shooting is very basic but it's passable.

The hand-to-hand stuff is pretty trash and not robust at all. I remember them talking this game up before it was released and pretending it had this deep, brutal melee system. It doesn't. At all. There are a few cool kill animations in specific scenarios during hand-to-hand combat, but that's about it.

    I like the world visually. It has some decent variety to it, and especially early on is a pretty fun place to be. But this game has the least "alive" world I have ever seen in an open-world game. It's actually kind of shocking. There is quite literally nothing to do in this game outside of missions. And the missions are essentially the same 4 things over and over again. Go here, kill a bunch of goons, and then kill the 'boss' of that area. Go here, collect a car/truck, bring it back. There's also some stealth in this game, and the stealth systems such.

    Back to the completely dead world, Mafia II had this same problem. But at least that game looked lived in. This world feels bland and boring after you play for 4+ hours. Also, in Mafia II there was some decent mission variety that helped hide the fact the game didn't have the most lively world ever. Mission variety does not exist in Mafia III, at least in the base game.

    The base game is pretty rough, but there is some DLC to this game I enjoyed a decent bit. The sky is ugly as hell, and some of the mechanics in previous Mafia games have been removed here. Speeding no longer matters, so there's no toggle to make it so your max speed is the speed limit. Gas in cars no longer matters, the mechanic doesn't exist. Trying to bribe cops is no longer a thing. I'd actually argue non-aggressive cops barely exist in this game. Whereas in previous Mafia games there were 'levels' of aggression the police would come at you with. Not here.

    I'm gonna give it a 5, but even then this is me being generous. Overall I do believe there's a really solid story in this game. Somewhere.    … Expand

    The graphics, however, are not great, the lighting makes everything look brown and muddy, even when it's sunny outside.

    Not many activities in the open world, you can't go to a bar and drink or eat, little elements like that are missing.

    Despite this it is full of charm and has some of the best visuals I've seen in a game of this type. Definitely worth your time if you're a fan of the gangster genre and open world gaming. I will advise though -just b line the story mode only the side quests are repeptitous and dialogue only no high quality cut scebes. To be found there.    … Expand

    Extremely mediocre. I thought I'd 100% it really quick and delete it because it's the largest game on my HDD.

    The driving model is one of the best, shooting and close combat are also handled well. Only stealth is a bit damaged by abusing the whistle ability.

    Its stealth is too repetitive, its gunfights too familiar, and its driving too boring to support anything else that’s going on. Despite how clever it manages to be in portraying the conquest and control of a criminal enterprise, the nuts-and-bolts missions feel like busywork, and it never fully explores the most interesting aspects of its setting. It’s better than Mafia II, but that’s damning it with faint praise.

    This is a game whose best moments are diluted by a torrent of filler, whose beauty is obscured by its technical shortcomings, and whose obvious potential is squandered by a lack of polish. That weird orange sky is, alas, the least of its problems. [Christmas 2016, p.110]

    It could have been a really great sandbox for one evening. It’s a shame the developers decided to extend it by over a dozen completely redundant hours, because they had fresh ideas for around one fifth of the campaign and made the rest of the game repetitive as hell. [12/2016, p.48]
