Mafia: The Old Country

Nicht wirklich gut, HARDCORE Gescriptet und viel zu auffälig

Buen mafia.

*deep sigh* So I loved the original 2 Mafia games... I really wanted to like this one, but after reading the first reviews I waited for a sale and I still feel betrayed. While the graphics and presentation are fine, the gunplay serviceable and the car-rides quite okay, the rest of the game is, sadly, mid at best. The horse-rides are stupid and feel clunky. The knive-fights are atrocious and repeated way too often. But by far the worst is the writing of the characters, story and especially the ending. Everything feels rushed, clicheed (which would be okay, its an hommage to classic Mafia-stories, if the characters had any depth to them) and plain stupid. [spoiler] "Oh, the house is burning down, I should totally ignore that and catch the daughter of my boss, to get her to her room, which is probably also burning to the ground right now. [/spoiler] Sadly, I cant recommend this game to anyone

gameplay normale, niente di eccezionale, ma da siciliano non posso fare altro che fare i complimenti al team per il doppiaggio in siciliano, complimenti veramente! rende il gioco molto più immersivo.

4.5/10 runs pretty poorly even with frame generation and DLSS on a high end system. at 4K it was running at below 40 FPS during the very beginning, over the course of the game at 1440p there were still parts with about 60 FPS with FG enabled. all the cutscenes are rendered natively without frame generation at a much lower but stable FPS, causing very short but heavy lags transitioning from frame generated gameplay at 80-120 FPS to each and every cutscene that plays at way lower framerates. classic difficulty is way too easy, gameplay isnt really fun at all, driving feels horrible when taking turns, shooting with anything that isnt a shotgun (preferably the pump action - the GOAT) doesnt feel intuitive, mechanics are not fleshed out and feel unfinished and overall the game does not feel polished or optimized. this game is the opposite of mafia 3. in which its not focused on gameplay while neglecting cutscenes and story, but neglecting gameplay while only consisting of walking sequences, cutscenes and the occassional shooting, stealth or driving sequence. the rest of the game (about 80% of playtime) you are watching a cutscene, following an NPC, talking to an NPC, or slowly walking or driving/riding moderately fast to your next destination. theres absolutely nothing happening story wise for a good 9 out of 14 chapters. in addition to that its hard to put into words how much of this game was recycled from mafia remake. i would personally say that it goes beyond just inspiration. also the fact that the knife fight mechanic is incredibly overused throughout this game and the fights are neither challenging nor fun in the slightest. theres a good 9-10 knife fights acting as boss fights and they are genuienly tiring and hilarious whenever they appear because you are stripped of all your weapons, every single person always carries a knife at all points for some reason and every single conflict is always solved through one of these. the story itself is pretty mid, the characters didnt interest me a lot besides a very few of them, the music is really good and [spoiler] hearing the mafia 2 OST at the start of the last chapter genuienly gave me goosebumps [/spoiler]. however the ending left me disappointed, yearning for more of a resolution and annoyed at how drawn out and poorly written and directed it was. definitely not worth it unless you are a die-hard fan of the series and definitely not for 35€ (during a sale, mind you).

nice story

I think Mafia 1 and 2 are masterpieces, but I was incredibly disappointed with 3. Pretty much everything about it, I thought the story itself sucked, the gameplay sucked, the setting sucked (who gives a single f about the Dixie Mafia? I have no interest in Dixie anything.) and I was just very worried about the direction of the franchise. I got Mafia TOC on a pretty good discount so I didn't pay full price, but I think I paid a few dollars for the first three so I didn't mind spending a bit on this one because the franchise deserves success. These developers care about their world and their stories and it shows. My initial thoughts after finishing the story; A return to the Mafia stories that I love! It feels like a Mafia game even though this is the only UE title in the series, the others all had a proprietary engine that set it apart from all other games. It's almost like L.A. Noire-esque in that I bet we look back in ten years time and it won't look great, but right now it's on the cusp of being next gen. The game is gorgeous although performance is not great yet. There was a time my 4080S was running it at under 30 fps in 4k so I had to turn settings down. The cars are so cool!!!! The time period, the location, the people, the clothing and down to every pebble on the road, it's beautiful. Some say it's a bit empty, but I guess this is how I imagine the world in that age and that area. Imagining life during this time is so wild to me because it was absolutely a time between times, a period of incredible change that is fascinating to see how people viewed various topics such as automobiles, cameras, drugs, and so much more. I am not sure why this game has gotten some hatred because it doesn't deserve it. It was a bit short, absolutely. I think that for the price and length of the game, the upcoming DLC probably should be free, but once again.... I still feel like I owe the devs a few bucks for the enjoyment I've gotten from their games. If you love the Mafia games like I do, you are going to love this as well. But get it on sale because if I had spent $60 on this I would not be nearly as satisfied with the amount of content for the price.

剧情是那种很老套的剧情基本上你刚开始剧情你就知道后面的剧情要怎么发展剧情整体的大纲是没有问题的但是我感觉最后的收尾收的太快了核心的矛盾都集中在最后一章才爆发总体会感觉最后的剧情会有点太赶了要是能多加几章来描述剧情会更加饱满一些然后就是这个游戏开车的桥段能跳过就尽量跳过吧开车的手感做的真的很差无论手柄键鼠（手柄开了自适应扳机会稍微好一些）而且游戏地图虽然还挺大但是开车基本上只能在道路上走空气墙和开不过去的地形无处不在加上游戏里没有小地图开车去某个目的地就只能开一会打开地图看一下而且游戏里的大部分车都跑不快开着会很难受虽然dlc会给商店里也能买到开的快的车但是在剧情中很少能用到基本上都只能用剧情发的垃圾车还有就是游戏中虽然有商城可以升级和购买枪械但是因为离家比较远而且没有传送加上剧情的限制导致就算想去商城也没有啥机会可以去所有如果想玩这个游戏就没必须要想着探索了(探索的收益基本没有）就一股脑推主线就行了还是一部不错的作品

Overall I rate this game 6/10. The story is fantastic with tropes and throwbacks to the originals. The environmental storytelling is also very good and the simulation driving mechanic with the shifting of gears is very fun. Unfortunately this is as good as it gets, the gameplay is mediocre with basic stealth and gunplay mechanics, a limited upgrade system and a less than basic interactable world. The knife gameplay mechanic is OK, however you can only use it in boss encounters. Overall it's sad to see the regression of such a flushed out franchise. I think Mafia 3's world was heading in the right direction, it just needed more time and to building upon what the franchise had already done. It doesn't need to do everything it just needs to do it well. At $50 AUD and $35 USD it's a good pick up.

WHAT A GAME. WHAT A MOVIE. I have finished over 23 games in the last 4 years and my goodness. this game and Ghosts of Tsushima are my all time GOATs story wise. Numerous times i was in awe traversing the Italian countryside. the story had my jaw dropped at a bunch of points. the gun play was fantastic. the graphics were fantastic. the writing was fantastic. THAT ENDING, my goodness. GUTWRENCHING. not going to spoil anything but i did not expect it AT ALL. i have played all 4 games now in the mafia series. this one is my favorite BY A LONG SHOT. story was so good but not too long. there was never a monotonous grind. if anything, i rushed through the game because i wanted to know so badly what was coming next. i just finished the game & my emotions are all over the place, as is the case when one watches a moving piece of art. the game is linear - (new free ride update probably makes the countryside more open and open to exploration). i loved that. i got to focus on the story and not on figuring out where i was half the time. 10/10 Game. Enjoy.
