Mafia 3 Walking the Walk - Tech, Art, Game Design Discussion

[@simonrockstream]

thise series is freakin brilliant, never stop walking the walk. It totally kills every other gaming channel

[@ACGreviews]

thanks man spread the word

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

+ACG In what way if any will Mafia benefit from the PS4PRO?

[@dodoubledragon]

Same, this guy is brilliant! I love the attention to detail in all his videos, it's a shame there's not too many youtubers like this. + His beard kicks ass ;)

[@christiangranum7387]

Hell yeah!

[@madrespeck5468]

Some of the stuff Mafia 2 did was so unique- running out of gas, having to obey the laws, going in lots of restaurants/stores buying stuff. It's a shame more devs don't try to add new/unique mechanics like these in their games.

[@ACGreviews]

agreed man

[@edwin11373]

Michael S, it appears that Mafia 2 was also designed to have few npcs and stuff to do because it was the story they were focusing on more and the game world was really secondary just there as a 'backdrop' and not as a 'playground' like GTA or Skyrim. In fact, before I bought M2 some people were saying that M2 wasn't a typical open world ala GTA/Elder Scrolls because you couldn't do much in there away from the storyline. Luckily, it worked for me. The story was so engaging that I didn't care that much if the game world was, though attractive, almost dead.

[@ACGreviews]

LOL I love not using any scripts GRADEYARD Good job asshat

[@NoMatureContent]

You said Mafia 5 once there too!

[@ACGreviews]

see comments above about contest

[@blazeburst100]

25:30 I didn't know you went to the future and played Mafia 5.

[@ACGreviews]

[@SteelTipped1]

It's kind of ridiculous how channels like this that meticulously and articulately discuss games without all the typical arbitrary bullshit are in the minority while all the gimmicky channels have sub counts numbering in the millions. I honestly hope this trend catches on where KZbinrs make the GAMES the focus of their channels, and not fucking lame ass skits, forced humor, fake outrage, overly opinionated reviews, and stupid gimmicky series'. *Cough AngryJoe/TotalBiscuit/JimSterling Cough* Keep doing you, ACG/Karak. This is by far one of the most useful and informative KZbin channels out there for gamers.

[@ACGreviews]

you rock man thanks!

[@Olracnoj]

It's March of 2019 and I'm finally giving this game the try it deserves, and I'm having a great time with it. Miss this Walking the Walk series, if you have the time this year I'd love to see another video like this for a game of your choosing.

[@jaan3352]

This has been said a million times, but I always appreciate how dense and focused your analyses are. It's very refreshing to see GOOD gaming journalism on KZbin!

[@vinniecorleone62]

Out-f**king-standing, you break down the minutia so damn well, one can't help but to have a deeper level of appreciation for the work & talent that went into the sound design & visual presentation for this fun & immersive game, even in spite of it's obvious short-comings, bravo bud. By the way I spent most of last Sunday which was quite rainy inside with a warm fire in the fireplace watching a mini-marathon of your "Walking the Walk" videos, a delightful afternoon & most fascinating.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks sir! They are fun to do and now go back and play Alan

[@kurono1999]

You could be forgiven for thinking: "cold war is over, Russia just nuked the shit out of us!" every time the sun rises in this game.

[@ACGreviews]

lol true

[@Sladey93]

One thing that really bothers me is the physics on his jacket. It is a combat jacket and would have been made of a fairly heavy canvass type material giving it quite a lot of weight. In the game it bounces around like it is made of jelly. Only a small thing, but something i noticed quite quickly.

[@lukeism2]

The game has rediculously bright sunlight. Sometimes hurts my eyes

[@ACGreviews]

agreed

[@markpartridge7425]

yep, iv'e also noticed the leaves on trees are super reflective, it looks like the trees have fairy lights in them sometimes. the lighting is so frustrating as it makes the game look really poor sometimes

[@robson668]

The skybox resolution and texture is also terrible.

[@jborrelli34]

You were absolutely built for this. I just watch this entire video like a 14-year-old girl watched 90210 in the early 90s. I get giddy and excited with your walk the walk videos. Excellent job. You're like my Dillon/Luke Perry.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks brother

[@Shawnredfield98]

I love these in depth videos. It makes me appreciate the work that goes into making video games. Great job like always.

[@ACGreviews]

appreciate that shawn

[@FelixIakhos]

This is one of my favourite gaming series. It baffles me how many people underestimate the 'soul' of a game, and are absolutely blind for what it is that makes their favourite games just that; their favourite games. Either way keep up the good work man, this is great!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@noLuckyStrike09]

I bought Mafia 3 for the pc. Pre ordered it even because I loved Mafia 1 and 2 so much. I played it for 30 minutes and it just didnt grab me. Too many gamebreaking issues I couldnt get immersed in it. I learned my leason. I will never pre oder a game again. Unless I beta tested it myself. I still feel sad about this purchace..

[@Eszuran]

I think the best "lived in world" was in Watch Dogs. The amount of things pedestrains do in that game is amazing.

[@ACGreviews]

Syndicate is ace. Its litterally amazing in whats going on

[@Eszuran]

This one I haven't plaed, but I have to now, I guess.:) I love to explore "living" virtual cities.

[@Benitopsp]

Great idea with the ''secrets contest'' to keep people engaged and watching these videos. Normally gaming videos are all in your face and about not losing the attention span of the viewer.. very nice to sit down and learn new things about a game that some people may not have noticed before. Keep it up.

[@ACGreviews]

Thanks its very fun for me too lol

[@FinnaFadeU]

The story is fantastic. Im liking some aspects of the stealth especially with suppressed pistols but the game gets brighter than 4 suns sometimes

[@aegresen]

MURICA What ruined it for me was the repetitiveness. After the first three racket takeovers, I wanted to remove the game but the story, the story kept me stuck to it like fly on honey.

[@norwegianimposter1926]

Love this! Just about (I think) to complete this game, the missions just keep a comin and I love chilling out to discussing games which is what this channel does. Always happy to help be a patreon dude.

[@yoshighomi]

ACG, I love these walk the walk vids... I hope you continue both this and the game reviews. You look at aspects of games that show both appreciation for the art and persuasion towards getting titles I probably would not have considered. I'm a big fan and hope you continue doing well. Great work man.

[@MrTdog89]

Totally agree man, this could have been the jewel in the mafia series and any series really, if they hadn't pushed it out when they did. But now indeed as you stated, unfortenately you can't say more than it's a good game. (on a side note, will you be reviewing Final Fantasy XV?

[@fightingfoos]

The other way this game disappointed me was that it wanted the racial aspect of it to impact the way people react to you in the game world, but really nothing happens. The police look at you but wont stop you. You can drive like a crazy person but they dont stop you for any reason. People will cuss at you but not get aggressive. Some will just stare. It didnt make me feel cemented in the world because the AI didnt act like I was even there some of the time. I completely agree that this game feels unfinished. A real disappointment to me at least.

[@ACGreviews]

yas its a bit beta

[@Addonais4ever]

I love this game and think its a solid 7.5-8.0 but your video really made me appreciate the intricacies of this game. Thanks for the informative video, you did a great job and i like hearing you talk about game design cuz you know what you are talking about.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet sir

[@shelby-pit9778]

InverseSquare the repetitiveness of the core gameplay loop and lack of mission variety just ruins this game though. I dobt care how good the story and open world is you just can't have this level if repetition and be a good game. The devs screwed it up man.

[@dxBIGBOSSxb]

Mafia 3 makes a great case as to why Bethesda's new review policy is not a good idea.

[@ACGreviews]

yes indeed

[@markpartridge7425]

i wish you could beta test every game for the developers karak. we would never get any problems lol

[@petrusmunteanu]

thanks to you I now have a different appreciation of games. You rock, man

[@ACGreviews]

thanks man spread the word of the channel if you can!

[@bodnotbod]

Yay! It was a Walking The Walk video that first brought me to this channel and they are my favourite videos on here. This and the "Other Places" videos made by someone else (UltraBrilliant?) really allow me to wallow in open world graphics, because these aren't the sort of games I play but I love seeing the locations.

[@ACGreviews]

my thanks

[@StewartGrant11]

Great video, I have no plans or interest in playing this but enjoyed your thoughts and narrative very much. You have a really engaging style and I liked all the personal items too, like your dads fish business. Really makes these things a pleasure to listen to.

[@ACGreviews]

appreciate that man

[@rexappleby4981]

the art and attention to detail i can see is incredible.

[@Deadqueendrama]

I love watching your videos, please never stop! You're my go-to channel for reviews and interesting stuff like walking the walk! :-)

[@ACGreviews]

I will not

[@FJaypewpew]

Lol im just thinking of Lincon Clay walking around grumbling about all the things you are pointing out

[@pure0wnu30videosrs2]

Holy shit I stumbled upon this breath of fresh air of a channel on a Gamespot Call of Duty review video from an apparent fan. So much information. Love your honest reviews as well. But this is just great. KEEP MAKING THESE Just subscribed. I will recommend to all my gaming friends. You sir, are alright.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks Pure!

[@HunterRodrigez]

something i found to be incredibly annoying was the turbo charger sound in the fastest car you can get delivered. the sound of the charger is basically a high pitched, constant beeping, it almost sounds like tinnitus and it probably causes it too

[@ACGreviews]

ya agreed

[@brendanbeast123]

Really enjoying this game so far, despite it repetitiveness. Glad to see a walking the walk, love the series Karak!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks man

[@mulderscully3707]

Great analysis Karak.👍👍👍 The first time i felt this passionate about a game, was with Killer instinct SNES, second game was Killer instinct N64 and Sonic adventure dreamcast.

[@ACGreviews]

Thanks man

[@Lordsebastian101]

Oh i'm so glad you did this! i'm still on the fence about mafia 3, really seems like a poor unpolished package

[@ACGreviews]

thanks spread the word

[@ericnick4498]

Lordsebastian101 Narrative is fantastic. Better then most, that's a good enough reason to buy it .

[@shelby-pit9778]

Lordsebastian101 don't buy it! This is a rental unless you don't mind that the gameplay is doing the same activity over and over. The open world may be neat to walk around in, but THATS ALL YOU CAN DO. As far as narrative, the first few hours are nicely narrative driven but then the narrative stuff slows down for the majority if the gane.

[@Lordsebastian101]

Shelby- pit I play on PC so i can't rent, but yeah i think i'll pick up about a year from now for a few cents on a steam sale

[@C9Tyler]

Nice video man. Keep it up!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@greenviewproductions133]

25:30 Mafia 5?? Was you thinking about GTA when talking ahah

[@Syrupstorm]

Can you tell me a little bit about what is happening with the shadows at 39:47? I have noticed this in a lot of games and I've tried researching it. The best I can tell it's some kind of level of detail switching. It drives me absolutely nuts, I would almost rather the game keep a lower level of detail than have this blatant ridiculous transformation happening three feet in front of my character. It constantly draws my eye and I know some people hate the word immersion but it shatters mine.

[@BC3012]

Jesus christ, what a great vid. Subbed m8!

[@eiadtarabulsi]

I am really enjoying Mafia 3 due to its great setting, interesting characters, solid story, awesome music and top notch voice acting. As far as the shooting is concerned, it feels good. The hand to hand combat is alright and the executions are brutal (albeit the same each time). Mafia 3 has a lengthy solo campaign, numerous optional missions, collectibles to find and upgrades to attain. However, the game's biggest problem comes down to the structure of its missions. You always end up either eliminating the main bad guy or interrogating him. Granted, there is a different twist for each mission (destroy or steal a vehicle, sabotage weapons, eliminate a certain target, etc). The game does so many things right which makes the repetitive nature of the missions all the more noticeable. The game doesn't shy away from racism, police corruption and prostitution (things that were prevalent in the 1960's). Hangar 13 delivered by making an edgy game that explores subject matter that doesn't get touched on in modern gaming. Its a shame that such an amazing game gets held back due to its repetitive mission structure. Another issue is in regards to the sunlight which is way too bright which does bothers the eyes quiet a bit. Also, I've noticed a lot of texture flickering on the PS4 version. I don't know if anyone else has experienced that issue or not. On the plus side, I've spent a pretty good amount of time playing the game without experiencing any crashing problems so far. As a side note, I heard that Hangar 13 utilized the same motion capture technology that was used in L.A. Noire which is why the voice acting and facial animations are so good. Thanks for another great Walking the Walk video. Keep it up Karak!

[@ACGreviews]

I can see that

[@ericnick4498]

Eiad Tarabulsi This was truly fantastic. Sadly we have people calling this game a bad game undermining the potential sales moving forward.

[@noLuckyStrike09]

Eric Nick I have to respectfully dissagree with that. I think they shot themselves in the foot by delivering a rushed game. Gamers letting their voice heard,warning others is a good thing. Because it's just wrong how some companies can get away with these Smash n Grab releases. They got the cash dont give a fuck about the game anymore, dont patch it etc. and leave us with a ripped off empty feeling. If you love this game more power to you, that is great. But I dont think you can the community out for making a scene about this title. I do however think that the creators of the game didnt want this, I can see this was a diamond in the rough and was just rushed. I have the feeling there was a big influence from higher hand in the troubles surrounding this game. Again I wished I could like this game so so much. Because I love(d) the Mafia franchise, but I think this was the last stop for my Mafia ride.

[@ericnick4498]

noLuckyStrike09 They are planning to patch the game as well as giving free content to add more variety in gameplay. I do agree it should have no been rushed but the game is literally getting unreasonable hate. We have people actually going out of there way to destroy the game and developers. Ignoring all of the good and pointing out the bad that past Mafia games had. Even going so far to call the game racism for the game to represent actual themes and tones people had in the past. It's quite sad really.

[@noLuckyStrike09]

Eric Nick Alright some of that I agree on. In my case it was because of the bugs and weak AI, I could not immerse mysef in the game simply couldn't. The story started of so wonderful!!! I also want to add here, I play on a pc 144hz monitor and the game was horrible blurry 720p, 30 fps and the lighing was aweful from the start I tried to play through but I couldn't. People don't buy a game for 45-60 euro for it to be "Planned to be patched".

[@Giablo1]

the sun looks like your on the surface of mars when its going down, but i liked this game quite a lot.

[@ACGreviews]

agreed

[@kingghxstgaming]

I just want the patch 😔

[@ACGreviews]

me too

[@markpartridge7425]

the game looks great for the most part when you slow things down but as soon as you jump in a car things take a nose dive with some really weird dynamic lighting and weather. the clouds look like they're straight out of a ps1 game and there's times when it looks like its on an acid trip where the sky is on fire.

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

I'll probably pick it up when they've fixed a few things. SLI support is a big one for me, this game obviously needs a bit of horsepower so I'd like to use both my GTX970s to get decent framerates at 1440P.

[@Rogerio_FM]

Hopefully the DLCs will use the bayu. I say that less grudgingly than usual, the game is a nice length even with the repetitiveness.

[@ACGreviews]

I would love it

[@cjh7234]

Best channel out there!

[@mcbain3764]

Great analysis! Enjoyed the video very much.

[@ACGreviews]

Thanks Chris

[@SaisukeMutsu]

You should do a Walking the Walk of Metal Gear V. So much effort from the developers to apreciate.

[@ThousandPoundPig]

That lighting system just seems wayyy too weird for me! Your audio is a lot better in this video compared to your ones before this, nice one!

[@AdrianRaiden]

That's yet another good walking the walk. Ever thought about re-visiting GTAV or perhaps an older title like GTAIV or Mafia II? Anyway, great channel and I think we all appreciate the work you do.

[@ACGreviews]

Thanks and I some of the walking the walks are older games

[@AdrianRaiden]

Oh, I forgot to mention the lighthouse here is actually based on the West Rigolets lighthouse. It was left to rot in 1945 so that's why it seems abandoned and probably used by criminals, therefore some pizza slices and a bed.

[@patrickmartinez4571]

Hi Karak, know it's been a long while for this vid but at 33:42 you mention the ground reflections (not being very good) what quality were you seeing that made you think that? I'm a sucker for reflections (to a detriment) and sometimes just cranking reflections looks "good." I like your insight. Telling everyone I know.

[@Reppinpurpleboy24]

Didn't care for mafia 2. Mafia 3 was disappointing unfortunately. I blame 2K for forcing this game out when they knew it wasn't finished.

[@ACGreviews]

ya

[@JCity17]

Nice work! Keep it up. This is also a request for True Crime: Streets of LA! Please

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@daniellkieffer]

Keep up the great videos! I love the reviews podcasts and the walking the walks particularly. Have you had any formal training in game development or is it just years of experience with studying games and speaking with developers? As for Mafia 3, I really loved most of the aspects of it, especially the story. It got so much right particularly the city, the soundtrack and the main story missions, but the lighting and weather systems just made it bizarre looking at times and I really wish they would have fleshed out some of the district side missions with some variation or at least make them unique. The racial stuff just got to cartoon levels at some points even though that is a difficult subject to capture in a game. The shutdown to the game menu happened more times than I could count, but other than that, I don't remember any major bugs that were more than annoyance; did get stuck in places I wasn't supposed to be a few times. The game didn't live up to my expectations, but I would say it was good.

[@ACGreviews]

Most of the latter but a bit of the former and thanks!

[@daniellkieffer]

Thanks for the reply. Big fan of you, made an off-color/misinterpreted comment on that deus-ex review (I prolly just suck). Keep doing what you do brother.

[@GRAG3R]

ABsolutely love your critiques & reviews, Karak. I totally love how you accidentally said "Mafia 5" around 25:30 though (at least, I think it was an accident?). Genuinely made me laugh haha.

[@ACGreviews]

see comments above

[@GRAG3R]

Oh god, sorry man. Haha.

[@AstralFrost]

Great breakdown. Very detailed, as always. I lost the comment I was working on but yeah, lots of things about the world that I noticed, good and bad, but overall I think it's impressive. I just wish it had more time in the oven. Interestingly, although bugs were a major point of discussion, the gameplay got more criticism than I expected. I know that some expected a sandbox, and Mafia has never been what I'd call a sandbox. Here the criticism is probably harsher because the world is so big. I've heard a lot of complaints about it being empty and repetitive. People generally expect more to do in such a vast game space. I guess it didn't bother me because my frame of reference was Mafia 1 and 2. Although I wonder if the world is too big for its gameplay, I think that hemming in this world, condensing it, would do it a disservice. If it's all about creating a sense of place, you've got to make room for that place you're looking to capture. I really thought this game would be a sleeper hit. Not sure what the sales are like up to here but clearly it's not been received as I had hoped. Overall, I think it's pretty good, but that they've missed an opportunity here. I guess I would blame the publisher for that. There's just no way Hangar 13 wanted this game out the door so quickly! Because they've put too much love into it to release a damn beta. I can only hope that we'll get another Mafia and this isn't it for the series.

[@ACGreviews]

appreciate that

[@shaddy_got_a_melody]

Waiting for your next podcast man, you gonna do it anytime soon?

[@fightingfoos]

Thanks for doing this video man. I really wish I hadn't bought this game, like you said the lack of interactivity and things to do in the game killed my desire to play it. Interesting video, although I wish you had talked more on the lighting in general not just dynamic weather effects. For example as I'm sure you've noticed because everyone has to have noticed this, when you're in some areas it's like the lighting around you will for lack of a better term, bleach your character. Or he becomes almost chameleon-like. The light just doesn't connect with your character in a realistic way. I really don't know what that's about and I thought you could've elaborated on that. It looks so bad. Happens a little in this video when you're towards the back of the store at the end there.

[@ACGreviews]

absolutely

[@motley17cru]

When he drives the car Around 28:26 it's got a white outline, looks so odd

[@razamadaz3417]

nice narrative karack.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@gyloir]

Great video as usual. I enjoyed the world design a lot in this game. It just feels so natural/authentic. It's such a shame that it has almost no interaction with the player though. You should be able to pull into gas stations, fill up, go into stores and buy things, etc. btw a little type, you referred to it as Mafia 5 at 25:30 :p, I think you got it tongue tied with GTA V.

[@ACGreviews]

ya lots of work about nothing its odd

[@andymcdonell2715]

Great work mate. I'm almost utterly loving this game, and not. If they patch all the little leaks right... You're spot on about palette cleansing, well put, it takes a bit of settling into. Not a game to be rushed. cheers

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

[@claydavis8924]

I love these videos man. any chance to get a W3:Blood and Wine one?

[@ACGreviews]

no srry

[@claydavis8924]

aw that's a bummer oh well thanks for the reply , like as always keep it up.

[@jamesbrenner94]

First? yay! lol love ur stuff man! is there going to be a CODIW review?

[@ACGreviews]

Hopefully

[@Kohbruh]

yea, he's back!

[@ericnick4498]

Man i really love this game. Narrative is fantastic, gameplay is fine but incredibly repetitive.

[@flextits4883]

Eric Nick I actually began to hate the story as I went through it because of the laughably cartoony depiction of racism. The Southern Union in particular were just so over the top and stereotypical.

[@ericnick4498]

RedLightning007 Stereotype or not, that's how it was. The hate was unbearable back then.

[@johnfarleyjohnfarley9466]

RedLightning007 Indeed and during the time we have a gangster clinton calling a quarter of the American population deplorable just instantly stuck out.

[@2fast404]

Mafia 2 had the same fucking problem. Great story, but meh gameplay. Not to mention the bullshit timers in mafia 2[and its dlc].

[@ericnick4498]

RedLightning007 Whatever it's your opinion but that's how it was back then. Sure not everyone was like that but that only represented a small minority. "Shallow and unrealistic" yeah doubt it.

[@norwegianimposter1926]

the lighthouse has a mission based around that area

[@ACGreviews]

correct

[@Yura-Sensei]

That concrete stadium reminded me of soviet architectural legacy we have in our country

[@franciscor390]

I beat the game from start to finish, i'm a big mafia fan, but so many aspects of mafia 3 are simply terrible and the world for mafia 3 is one of those, it feels extremely dead even in cities with npc's which barely react to what is going on, they simply do their thing and that is to walk down the street back and forth. There's not many places you can enter and you can't interact with anything compared to mafia 2 , strange and in many ways not finished and lacking personality.

[@vishansilva8546]

franky Mafia 2 was also dead as an open world and Mafia 3 open world really didn't really feel all the dead TBH I liked the way npc's reacted to me and the way certain districts looked but Thts just me loved both games.

[@RiotnRespect]

Vishan Silva Mafia 2's open world was still better than 3 in my opinion. Npc's reacted more to what was going on and you could go in restaurants and eat and have your shoes shined and a bunch of other little things. The little things add up and sadly Mafia 3 lacks most of them. Search up Mafia 2 vs Mafia 3 on youtube and click the first video.

[@vishansilva8546]

RiotnRespect yea your right to a degree but Mafia 2 open world still lacked a whole lot and was still dead TBH.yea it has a lot of the little attention to detail stuff like restaurant to eat and some other little things.and npc's never really reacted all tht much TBH so Mafia 2 open was still lifeless Mafia 3 is the same but npc's react a bit more in my opinion from Wat I experienced.espically when I commit a crime or point a gun at them and with certain neighborhoods I go to but Thts just me.mafia 2 did have the attention to detail stuff I'll give u tht.

[@catsmoo6432]

there are a lot of issues, and finishing the game just makes them more apparent. Like hearing dogs, yet there are no dogs. I don't think there are animals, outside of gators. This really needed more time , and I really hope they fix the wonky chrome bug. As a side note cars reflections reflect people (albeit blurry) but mirrors do not...

[@ACGreviews]

agreed

[@MyNdFrEaK420]

Karak man entertaining stuff

[@ACGreviews]

thanks man tell others

[@davidriley8316]

The defining moment for Maifa 3 for me was, I went into a store for a playboy; and I used the front door. This little old lady (at least she sounded old) told me "to get out, you N word." This wasn't a villian, just a person. It really made me think that the 60s must've sucked. I felt very uncomfortable, as a white guy I never experienced anything like it. It's a shame they packed it full of samie missions. I feel had it been more like Maifa 2 and focued purely on story (and less buggy), it would've been a masterpiece. Awesome video.

[@ACGreviews]

agreed its pretty crazy

[@packattack1496]

I really enjoyed the story and the motion capture was pretty precise, but the draw distances and constant pop in really took away for me.

[@ACGreviews]

Ya some oddities here

[@nunomagalhaes38]

another great vídeo,do you have gta5 review?do you recomend this game or gta5?thanks for this videos

[@ACGreviews]

I do from years ago.

[@nunomagalhaes38]

ACG ok i will check a walk in the walk on skyrim remaster? 😃try one Day,thanks

[@robbiebankovic]

Awesome breakdown of the game! Still loving the game at times...but it does feel like a beta - Any idea when there releasing updates/patches?

[@ACGreviews]

appreciate that and no idea sir

[@jwconglomerate332]

I loved the rain effects on the game, if you notice when the ground is dry, you can see the individual drops landing on surfaces like concrete, and slowly the concrete gets more and more wet. And I agree with your comment on the interiors, why did they make laundromats that you could enter, or stores or restaurants if you couldn't interact with them aside from the occasional collectible or register/lockbox to loot? And to go so far as to highlight these locations on the map made it all the more jarring. I thought maybe you could wash your blood soaked clothes only to realize, nope, this is for naught. Great video.

[@youngknight5589]

Julian Watkins a lot of people seem to claim Mafia III is bad because it's an open World game period but my problem with the series is that it struggles with how that open World is designed you have all these things in here but they're just there there's not gameplay or narrative purpose so it's just like what was going on?

[@lukeism2]

Hey man, are you planning to do a watch dogs 2 walk?

[@ACGreviews]

yes

[@ajsingh4545]

How about Dishonored 2 walk? Please?

[@Traphic420]

Hey Karak , have you tried working with devs or being a Q&A or a beta tester?

[@ACGreviews]

I have before yes

[@Traphic420]

Nice, well I love your videos. KZbin is your home now. (:

[@wretchedslippage3255]

Something about the art style of this game puts me off. I dont know why.. Its kind of hazey, everything looks plastic or something.

[@motley17cru]

has he done a gta iv walking the walk? loads of detail in that game that he could appreciate

[@MikeVernonProd]

Fantastic video. I enjoyed the open world of Mafia 3 but the lack of basic things to do killed it for me. It really feels barebones. A real disappointment as I was really hoping this game would be something special.

is mafia 3 worth getting on the ps4

[@etsyosbourne4120]

I was almost afraid there wouldn't be one for mafia 3

[@ACGreviews]

dont be afraid brother

[@kingghxstgaming]

It was still kinda fun, can get repetitive tho.

[@mrajkipper]

Found another secret error: 40:09 "Sleeping Dogs 2" should be "Watch Dogs 2" :)

[@ACGreviews]

Excellent all 3 found. Free Game being given to someone who commented timeline ends tomorrow at 11ampst

[@kaimerk1099]

I want Mafia V too :(

[@kingghxstgaming]

It had so much potential 😢

[@mrsmilescam1550]

So ive heard people say they think this game flopped. Im sure they mean the pc version and not the consoles, right?

[@ACGreviews]

Sales versus cost total

[@MrBasinator]

For example when Lincoln was walking through the garden while those people were drinking tea. It's quite odd to see a random big black man taking a walk in your garden. So you just continue to drink tea then?

[@ACGreviews]

exactly

[@austin4rr]

Looking forward to the Red Dead 2 walking the walk in a year!

[@ACGreviews]

so am I brother

[@deathrow989]

Was that a bin in a fucking phone booth? Awesome

[@ACGreviews]

2nd secret found! ONe more and i give a game away for free

[@IbrahimAhmed-ng5zf]

realy enjoyed your video and i feel sorry for one of my favorite games ever mafia series to have all this wrong things in it but i still gonna play it i agree with you that they may rushed it up sadly that they did that

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@Wanderlauch]

39:25 Mafia 3, Ladies and Gentleman! :D

[@Traphic420]

HAHAHA, 1i wish he recorded when he flipped over the car lol

[@2Ursos1]

I had to install a mod that reduce the bloom and fix the sky box a little to play this...it was the buggiest game that ive played in a long time.

[@Kohbruh]

I don't know if you have the science channel but on right now is a show analysing the effect video games have on the human brain. you gotta check this out dude. 😂😂

[@ACGreviews]

funny timing

[@Kohbruh]

ACG definitely interesting, watched it twice. good WTW though. I was wondering if it was going to get one. Question though, (not related) the last and only elder scrolls I played is oblivion, is skyrim worth a look?

[@ACGreviews]

*shrugs* I thought so but if you didn't get it already I can't say there is some reason you should stop many years of a pattern of not buying it

[@Kohbruh]

ACG good point. The graphical update and the intrigue of the 4pro perked my ears. lol. thanks, holla at you next video. be easy bro, and again great content.

[@ACGreviews]

ps4 pro apparently has the same restrictions on mods. If your doing console Xbox is the only way to fly. The S at least upscales to 4k but more importantly it has 5 gigs of mod space versus 1

[@larryjohnson150]

Love me some WTW!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks hard one to do

[@larryjohnson150]

I think this one may have been more interesting due to Mafia III's problems. By that I mean its easy when you're playing a game to spot weird issues, like ones in Mafia, but for someone like me that plays a lot of games and only has the most basic idea of how they work its cool to have an explanation of what causes it and what might correct it.

[@markpartridge7425]

the game is so close to being great but the weird lighting and weather effects and the skybox that looks like its from a ps1 game makes me feel like the developers didn't even play the game themselves or have anybody bug testing it. i will be pretty pissed if they don't patch this

[@foseball5652]

Oh yeah, this game existed, totally forgot.

[@vishansilva8546]

Guess I'm the only one who loved this game yea it has its problems but overall I really did enjoy this game.yea it is a bit repetitive but I didn't mind it.i was emeresed in the open world it made me feel like I was in the 60's and the racial tension in the game was a good aspect in the game I liked tht since Lincoln was black he was not allowed in certain places I like how npc reacted when I went to a all white neighborhood they would call him racial slurs and a whole bunch of other shit.and you see police harassment on the street.its pretty well emeresed for the tht time period accurate.i like how agressive the police in the game is also.and Mafia 3 does a great job with it story and writing TBH I loved the game.

[@ACGreviews]

I am pretty open about liking it

[@vishansilva8546]

ACG yea I know glad you see the flaws of the game yet still enjoyed as I did.hopefully they put out a patch love your channel.

[@ClVlLlZED]

still waiting for an open world game where people actually react when you crash into their car, most of them just keep driving like nothing happend =/
