Sorry, I was streaming through Steam.

Some thoughts so far:

1 - 30fps is killing me. I hope the 60+ fps patch comes soon, like tomorrow or sooner...
2 - Mouse Acceleration/Input lag is present. Pointer feels too sensitive.
3 - The acting and story is top notch.
4 - The lighting is nice, but...
5 - Typical console blur is present and the characters (rendered in-engine) look a lot better in cutscenes than normal play.
6 - It feels like a much more fleshed out Mafia 2, gameplay-wise.
7 - The driving is solid, but at 30fps it is a little constrained.
8 - No crashes or issues so far and I am experiencing a rocksteady 30fps.

Need sleep now! More tomorrow!

yeah, that framerate lock is a bollocks. The game itself though, wow.. just finished the intro stuff - (2 hours +)

Story is equally as impressive as Mafia 2, voice acting is quality - there's even a semi-decent Irish accent.
But that soundtrack is top notch.

My only complaint after 2 hours is the 30 FPS lock, which is apparently gonna fixed anyway so yeah, class game.

Also, took this screenshot - if ye check the faces of people you've KO'd - they literally look like they've been KnockedTheFcukOut

According to IGN the patch might be out this weekend which will fix the FPS cap. http://ie.ign.com/articles/2016/10/06/mafia-3-on-pc-will-run-at-30-frames-per-second-at-launch

Reserved at Argos. Can't wait to get stuck into this.

Hmmm looks like a few wise guys might be sleeping with the fishes the weekend.......

Having work this morning, I flicked it on for about 15 mins after it downloaded, just to see how if performed on my computer.

Runs pretty good, have to admit

Anyone else try to

throw the body in the fire, at the very start?

I only got through the first part of the first mission before I had to go to bed.
I can't wait to get stuck in later on!

Anyone know if tesco is selling it and for how much? Not ringing an 1890 number to find out. Argos has it for 58 but gamestop, right across from it, is tempting at 75...

I fed the body to the alligator. He looked hungry

So is it worth spending €30 to get on cdkeys.com then? I'm always apprehensive about getting embargoed games but impressions seem positive here so far?

Hopefully they sort the 30fps thing though so I can 144hz the sh*t out of it.

Zero-Cool

Can anyone confirm if you have a base of operations in this like the train in AC Syndicate or vineyard in Witcher 3, like a a hq that builds and improves over time?

weiland79

any reviews up yet?

Quote from Hanger13 through IGN on 30fps+ patch:

"We currently have a patch running here at the studio that includes 30, 60, and unlimited frames-per-second options in the video menu, among other improvements for the PC version of Mafia III. We’re verifying the patch now to ensure everything is working as expected. If everything goes well, we expect the update to go live this weekend. We will be keeping the PC community up-to-date on the status of the patch throughout the weekend and thank you for all the feedback!"

Man you gotta go with gamestop bruh....the heavy metal sound track in store is worth the extra De Niros alone!!!! And then there is the sexy staff, I dont know but there is deffo something sexy about a 3 foot beard and 15 nose/ear rings.

Its how I pass my time waiting to be served, I count all the silver on the staff's faces!

biggebruv

game was only dispatched yesterday by simply games FFS ugghhh would that arrive by Monday does anybody know? its 1st class int delivery

TheDoc

Was holding off on this until confirmation of the 60+fps patch and it being stable.

Will probably hang of a bit longer, but the game definitely looks like one to pickup. Big fan of the series.

What's the driving like on consoles?

Not great, very similar to mafia 2.

Hmm, delayed review copies and considering how poor Mafia 2 was and the baffling amount of people that actually liked it (I mean really?) I'll be holding out for this one to hear some press reviews.

I thought if you expected an open world game mafia 2 would be disappointing and although it was short and simple, I found it enjoyable and engaging. Plus I liked the setting.
People like different things of course.

I avoided Mafia 2 for a year over the reviews and was sickened i did. Picked 3 up in argos earlier and looking forward to getting back into the Mafia world. Good ol Argos with the preorder bonus.

I can't even remember what Mafia II's diving is like it's been so long. Would it be more of GTA V style driving or more like Saints Row? Or nothing like those two?.
