unlabelledView post →A few more hours into Mafia III and i'm starting to see some cracks. This game is good but it's not Mafia or Mafia II. Side content is just too repetitive. However, The story and Characters is what keeps me going so i'm probably just gonna B line the story and enjoy it as that.
unlabelledView post →The more I think about it the more it seems Mafia III is a rebuke against fast travel. Ive got no clue if it’s in the game at all based on where Im at, and nothing has indicated it’ll make an appearance, but I hope it doesn’t!
unlabelledView post →finished Mafia II for the first time in well over a decade. Still a straight up banger of a game and it's re-entered my top 10 games of all time list. Definitely my favourite in the series. On to Mafia III now.
unlabelledView post →People say GTA Vice City has the best video game soundtrack. But imo it's not even the best GTA soundtrack (IV is far better) but I'd say it's between Mafia II and Mafia III for best ever. Both are insanely good - III probably edges it for me
unlabelledView post →I've always said that if Mafia III had the resources devoted to it that GTA gets, it would have been a runaway Game of the Year. Also I really want a Mafia sequel which continues the Lincoln Clay storyline (or at least is a spinoff with the John Donovan character).
unlabelledView post →Mafia III is genuinely a really solid game. On par with the other two games ngl. Makes me excited for when I get my hands on Old Country.
unlabelledView post →Mafia III at some KKK to kill (you didn't even get the option to spare the boss) and Red Dead Redemption 2 had some former confederates to kill. But you're right, compared to nazies, not many game have confederates.

unlabelledView post →Mafia III had its challenges as a game but it was a quality title that got real about how racism and class worked together and white folks did not like that. Add that to playing a Black character that could defend themselves against hate in a visceral way, and you understand why it quickly vanished
unlabelledView post →Mafia III It frustrates me that we have hundreds of books, movies, music, etc. about being black in America, but very few games. This is pretty much the best game involving, but not limited to, that theme. One of the best written stories ever, but also a fun & satisfying GTA like as well.
unlabelledView post →Mafia III, even for the time of its release, is not a *great* game, especially for a person that doesn’t really have the time or energy for an open-world game. But I’ll say this - The actors in it are fuckin’ capital A Acting. The protagonist’s psycho CIA agent best friend makes me clap like a seal

unlabelledView post →I don't care what anyone says, Mafia III is a great game, just bogged down by forced side missions. It's worth a playthrough for the story.
unlabelledView post →I almost forgot they made a linear Mafia game. So weird. That whole franchise is so weird. But we did get Mafia III out of it, an impossible game that will never get made again. So I guess it’s not worthless.
unlabelledView post →genuinely surprised to find this game is actually good, feels like Mafia III didn't land.
unlabelledView post →I loved Mafia III, and I'll echo how cool it felt. I also think I agree it'd be stronger as a more linear game rather than open world, but I'd miss driving around 1960s New Orleans listening to Etta James without an objective hanging over me. youtu.be/SgNXTPEsbac
unlabelledView post →Just unlocked the Mafia III DLC's and i heard they are a lot better than the base game in structure. Gonna start the Faster, Baby! DLC and then finish the base game after before doing the other DLC's. Heard it's benefitial do finish this specific DLC as soon as possible 🤔

unlabelledView post →I played that entire game and never encountered them. I recommend Mafia III, because you're forced into encounters.
unlabelledView post →Mafia III is technically a replay for me so I’m not *that* invested in the story; more like a walk down memory lane for me. That said, this time I’ll take it slow and get all the side misisons and get that loyalty up 👍🏻 Glad I got the prologue out of the way so next session is all business 😎
unlabelledView post →If this actually ends up happening, it'd be: 1) cool to get another Saints game that, based on the time period, could also have a vibe of a Mafia III successor 2) sad to see it rise from the ashes of Volition, who's shuttering was a Short sighted choice from heartless corporate owners
unlabelledView post →Wow. What a fucking shame. The support that game would have gotten from the community would have fed generations. Look at Mafia III
unlabelledView post →Game #32 finished in 2025, Mafia III. Just in time for Mafia: The Old Country! Can't believe I actually played through all 3 within the year! That's saying something. Really enjoyed my time with it. You can check out my full review here: minimap.net/user/cassiek...
unlabelledView post →Game #26 completed in 2025, Mafia II. And so it has been decided. I will play Mafia III before The Old Country comes out. Didn't really see that big connection coming at all. While I didn't like it nearly as much as the first game, I still enjoyed it. 7.5/10
unlabelledView post →I feel so bad for Alex Hernandez, the main character's actor. Man always gives some great performances, but both "big" games he's starred in (this and Mafia III, funnily enough another sandbox game) had both terrible launches and not entirely well tought mechanics. Poor dude.
unlabelledView post →16. Mafia III Too repetitive for most of the game and the game is riddled with bugs. The game was still enjoyable but i def had to b line the main story. The city had stellar vibes with great music so there is that. Lincoln is a great character with a good story 5/10
unlabelledView post →them pivoting hard from the Mafia III gameplay structure is the single best piece of news about this game (other than the price of course)
unlabelledView post →GOOD! GOOD! I tried playing Mafia III and it's the most tedious fucking slog *except* for the linear, narrative-driven action segments, the rest of the game was tiresome drivel and I'm glad the devs agree!
unlabelledView post →I feel like the driving in Mafia III is soo good for that sort of game. And I wish me games were similar to it. Like gta
unlabelledView post →oh, excellent - excited to dig into this after my shift. Mafia III is the game that broke a lot of my fast travel habits, so it's going to be great to read your thoughts on that!
unlabelledView post →Mafia III feels like the last triple-A game to do it. Maybe Wolfenstein 2 the year after?

unlabelledView post →What were your most disappointing games/game of 2025? Mafia III Fantastic story and characters. But man, I couldn't stand its repetition. Post Trauma This was more of a puzzle game than Survival Horror. Forbidden Siren I loved its atmosphere and ambition. But poorly executed and very guideless.
unlabelledView post →Mafia III gets a bad rep but the gameplay is amazing. Some find missions repetitive but what game isn't at times?
unlabelledView post →Mafia III isn't a perfect game, but you do get to play a Black Vietnam vet and plow the Black Power equivalent of the General Lee into crowds of KKK members while "Folsom Prison Blues" plays on the radio, so it is the Greatest Game
