Description
Mafia III is the third main game in the crime series with free-roaming gameplay combining fighting, shooting and racing, on foot and using vehicles.
This time the protagonist is Lincoln Clay. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War and part of a black mob. The game is set in 1968 in New Bordeaux, a fictional environment inspired by New Orleans, which consists of ten districts. There are busy city environments, but also large stretches of swamps, the countryside, canals … When circumstances force Clay to pay back a debt to the Marcano crime family, he is betrayed and his mob friends along with his surrogate father Sammy are all killed. Left for dead, he is rescued by his friend Father James and gets in touch with his former Vietnam CIA handler John Donovan. Clay is out for revenge to destroy the Marcano family and seize control of New Bordeaux. The story is told as flashbacks by survivors in different segments incorporating cut-scenes.
Next to the various missions there is a larger, faction/assets system where decisions influence the alliance with three important characters. There is Cassandra who leads the Haitian mob, Thomas Burke with ties to the IRA and the Italian gangster Vito Scalleta, the protagonist of Mafia II, who had to leave Empire Bay after killing the don Falcone.
Lincoln is mostly on his own and needs their support to hold the territory he captures. Territory does not only provide an income, each faction assigned to it also provides different types of services such as muscle, providing cars and locations or arms dealers, sabotaging phone lines to prevent back-up, bribing the police etc. similar to a skill tree where new abilities are unlocked. A district is taken over after a number of rackets have been captured along with killing the capo who leads it. Each faction also provides a constant stream of missions in the open world with a cash reward.
As in the previous games there is free-roaming gameplay where any vehicle can be stolen and driven. Different types of gameplay styles are possible, involving melee fights or ranged gunplay, with brute force or using a stealth approach combined with a cover system. Using a wiretapping junction box or with the Inside Man bonus it is possible to eavesdrop and see enemies through walls using Clay’s Intel Vision, similar to the Eagle Vision of Assassin’s Creed.
Enemies can be lured away by whistling. Missions include infiltration, killing targets, performing heists, destroying goods, stealing cars, intercepting drugs etc. Large buildings are often used for missions played inside that specific location. There is also a large amount of collectibles including different magazines, paintings and old album covers. Not all missions are scripted, some events are triggered based on actions in the environment or attacks by hit squads. When the police becomes involved, there is a blue search zone that needs to be escaped. NPCs will often report crimes and they can be killed to prevent this, but this often leads to a chain reaction.

review of Mafia 3 (Spoilers) — Games on DTF
The game, all the advantages of which do not compensate for the monotony of the gameplay.
7802
views
October 7 this year marks the 5th anniversary of the third part of the series released in 2016. In honor of this, one might say, anniversary, I decided to remember why this part did not win the love of the public, and also what problems led to this, whether it was possible to solve them, and in what aspects the game was still able to take a step forward regarding their predecessors. nine0003
About the studio and the development process in general
Let’s start with the fact that the development studio Hangar 13, founded in 2014 (two years before the release of the game) and under the patronage of 2K, is not particularly titled. At the time of the release of the 3rd part of the Mafia, they did not have large projects in their portfolio.
In the end, it turned out that the first pancake came out lumpy, and judging by interviews with employees, the management with a huge awl just below the belt is to blame for this. nine0003
Everyone in the studio was well aware that the project was getting monotonous and boring. Designers, programmers, testers — all unanimously asked the management to give them more time, since no one wanted to release Mafia 3 in this form. But they received a negative response — the authorities hoped that “it might work,” and wanted to see the final result first.
Kotaku
And although it was clear from open sources that despite the fact that the game sold well (about 8 million), in 2018 the studio went through a wave of layoffs. The team was transferred to churning out additions to Borderlands and remasters. nine0003
Daniel Vavra has shared a few never-before-seen details of the original script for Mafia III.
And, it would seem, this is the end for the studio. But the hangars were able to roll out of the pit with «Mafia: Definitive Edition», and, omitting the fact that the game for me personally became a strong simplification compared to part 3, it came in for the fans and returned the guys to the system.
At the moment, the studio seems to be busy with the 4th part, so I hope they won’t have the same problems as with the development of the trio, they have already filled enough cones. nine0003
Characters and story are the strengths of the game
The plot is simple: it’s 1968, the main character Lincoln Clay returns from the Vietnam War to New Bordeaux and decides to help his foster father from the orphanage where he grew up. All this brings him to Sal Marcano, the don of the Italian mafia, as a result of which all Lincoln’s relatives die. The latter is saved by Father James and a strong skull. Ultimately, teaming up with his army friend John Donovan, Clay goes on a slippery path of revenge on Marcano, his entire family and the business that he has built so systematically for so many years.
nine0003
A story about revenge? What can be drawn from it? I think the writers were asking the same question and… Get out, damn it. In itself, the idea of confrontation between two trained warriors against mafiosi is quite interesting. Gradual destruction of the business of the main villain, his family and life to pieces. It’s nice to feel like a kind of elusive whirlwind that destroys everything in its path. Playing the errand boy in the second part, I did not experience this.
The story is told in the style of a documentary, from the perspective of FBI agent Jonathan Maguire. In 2016, an FBI agent reveals details of his own investigation into the events of 1968 years old in New Bordeaux. Somewhat reminiscent of the approach of «Call of Juarez: Gunslinger», with interruptions in the event of the hero’s death or key events taking place, additionally accompanied by interview inserts. The setting at that time was not as hackneyed as it is now, I have no complaints about it and the quality of its development within the framework of this story.
Not Bully Maguire, but Jonathan. Do not confuse.
As I said above, some of the information is transmitted in the form of an interview with Father James, the rector of the Catholic orphanage where Lincoln grew up. The other is through a recording of a meeting of the US Intelligence Committee 1971 years, where John Donovan, a colleague of the protagonist, testifies about his participation in the whole story and its nuances.
All this is extremely atypical for the game. It is quite possible that this was somewhere, but I have not come across such an approach anywhere else. It’s like watching a documentary or Veli’s Investigation with Leonid Kanevsky.
Staging in commercials and cut-scenes, editing, acting: all this deserves special praise, at one time I literally endured the main plot for them. One only cut-scene of the murder of the Lincoln family is worth something. The acting, like all their replicas, is just a dump of the head.
Plus the music of the sixties, I don’t even know what could be better. Thanks to this, when it seems that the main character went too far, the circumstances of the first major case immediately pop up in his head and such thoughts fade into the background. Developers do not shove drama out of place, and this, you see, has become a fairly common occurrence in our time. nine0003
By the way, there are several endings, and the choice is entirely on the side of the player. Those who wanted to know what happened to Joe will also be pleased. This arch, stretching from the end of the second part, was closed perfectly, it was really worth it. Despite all the monotonous horror of core gameplay that awaited during the passage, the creators were able to please at the end.
Lincoln Clay
In appearance, an ordinary martinet, blockhead or bouncer, but knowing his ins and outs, a quite interesting character emerges. Cruel and cold-blooded, a professional in his field.
He goes to his goal, not dramatizing every five minutes, as is now customary with us. At the same time, systematically, in an extremely cruel and demonstrative form, he cleans up the entire business structure of the main villain. nine0003
In the DLC, he is also revealed from other sides thanks to more intimate stories. Lincoln in the game is a kind of kindness with his fists, none of what he does during the game raised any questions for me, all the cruelty on his part is fully justified.
Just two tough guys
Back in the old days, 2016, BLM was not at such a level of promotion, so they didn’t stuff us with too much in terms of skin color of the protagonist and the oppression of everything and everything. There are, of course, accents on the greater attention of the police to our person, the attitude of sellers in stores and the ubiquitous Ku Klux Klan, but this looks logical within those times, without excesses. nine0003
For reference, the real-life actor Alex Hernandez became the model and voice for the character.
Again, his final choice and some of the decisions that affect the ending depend entirely on you. But I think in the future the developers will come to one canonical version.
John Donovan
Colleague and just a good and loyal friend of Lincoln straight from the CIA. Shirt-guy, jack of all trades. The right hand of the protagonist, his coordinator and informant. He acts more as a planner and he has plans, I must say, those are still. He is like Alfred for Batman, only he hates the communists and trolls him many times more. nine0003
Have you seen his suit and van? He’s perfect. And his hunt for the Kennedy assassin, you can release a separate game about it.
Generator of almost all jokes and humorous sketches in the game. If you want to watch it again after the storyline, you’re in luck. There is a separate DLC with him, where he has enough screen time.
I don’t know where these arts come from, he is not the right hand in this sense.
…
Sal Marcano
nine0002 Mafiosi of the old school, quite far-sighted, his motivation is clear and precise. The whole city is under his control, his people and relatives are everywhere, his clan is quite large. It’s not a villain who’s a villain because he’s evil. This is a mafia boss who is gradually trying to legalize his business and will go over the heads of anyone in order to achieve his goal, in order to subsequently transfer everything acquired to his son.
The death of the Lincoln family was not just a whim for him. All this is for the money that was planned to be given to the judge in order to legalize the casino. Because its construction already ate large sums of money from Marcano. nine0003
Unfortunately, Sal realized late enough who he really contacted, and did not attach any importance to the outgoing threat. In this case, not just anyone came out against him, but two extremely trained people and their henchmen.
But this is a disease of any kind of games with such a structure.
In the course of the main plot, it is noticeable how Marcano gradually wastes both influence and endurance, he has fewer and fewer options. At some point, he does have to go for broke. He even summons mercenary and hardcore racist Nino Santangelo. All this quite logically leads to the ending with Leo Galante. nine0003
A rather unpleasant type, this Nino Santangelo of yours. Lincoln dealt with him spectacularly as always.
His son Georgie is a typical father’s errand boy, a copycat who curries favor with his elder. As, however, the entire Marcano family and those associated with it. All of them are «especially gifted» personalities in their own way. Some — with a pretty strong gimmick.
Father James
So let’s say the bright side, trying to get Lincoln on the right track, maybe trying too hard. A fairly typical «correct» character, who nevertheless plays an important role in the plot, saving Lincoln, and in the end, depending on the choice, and vice versa.
To a large extent, it is revealed in the DLC associated with it. nine0003
Captains and main mechanics
The game meets us with several well-executed missions with a canteen, the destruction of a gang and a bank robbery, as if setting the player up for a bright story adventure and immersing them in the world of the sixties, but after a two-hour prologue, everything breaks off and the worst thing begins — the main game.
The problem lies in the fact that the backbone of the gameplay is based on the mechanics of wanking tasks of the same type and killing mini-captains, in order to then get to the story quest and finish off the leader, thereby squeezing out part of the land of the main guard. Next, we transfer the land to one of our so-called «subordinates». nine0003
The map is quite extensive, there is also a suburb, so you have to ride. Especially for side quests.
All this is repeated from time to time and the developers’ attempts to diversify this action do not really help.
That is, the whole scheme works literally like this:
1) We get a dossier from an informant who knows how to get to the henchmen.
2) We ride around the location, simultaneously burning something, breaking something or, of course, killing someone, choose according to your taste depending on the area. nine0003
3) After this splendor, having killed a little more or a little less deputies and inflicted sufficient damage on the business, we proceed to the plot task.
4) The story mission itself, after which the land goes to one of your captains, depending on your choice, which affects the ending.
And all this wheel of samsara is spinning from region to region until the very end of the main plot.
Strange metamorphoses often occur, some additional quests for some reason with cut-scenes and a camera in the dialogues, others with a static camera from behind the back of the main character. Moreover, this happens even within the framework of one chain, either there was not enough time, or efforts.
nine0003
And it seems that the scriptwriters did their best to explain this nightmare in terms of plot. Yes, we are taking the business away after all, destroying it from the inside, but this routine realism is a dubious excuse. They try to dilute this despondency only with story quests, captains’ chips and the core gameplay itself.
All subordinates will comment on the choice of the main character.
Each of your comrades in misfortune has their own bonuses, getting more land, they expand the range of services: they offer new weapons, improvements for them, modifications for cars and other goodies. With uneven distribution, the underprivileged will resent, and if everything goes too far, then the captain will stop helping you, become a mini-antagonist and a candidate for elimination. nine0003
For example, our old friend Vito — a rather lost optimism, but still not discouraged pensioner who crossed the Marcano road, issues a chain of quests related to Joe and can send thugs to help.
It is not entirely clear why Vito is so old, he is only 43 years old.
Cassandra — the wayward leader of one of the groups saved by Lincoln, allows you to call a van with weapons and ammunition to any convenient place. Or cut off phones so that witnesses can’t call the police. nine0003
Berg is an alcoholic and parasite who owns a car junkyard. The father of one of our friends who died because of Marcano. On request, he can drive a fast or armored car, or, for example, bribe cops in case of a chase.
Gameplay helps, but not always
It’s strange, but in this aspect, the remake of the first mafia that came out later loses dry to the third part.
Shooting is great for a third person action game. The weapon is felt, shoots differently, recoil, sounds — everything is at the highest level. Carcasses of opponents react quite brightly to hits. Gunplay is perfect, this is not Spec Ops for you.
nine0003
Cannons of various kinds are unlocked as the game progresses, some of them are obtained depending on the relationship with one of your subordinates. But I distributed the lands equally and closer to the final, all the good was revealed to me.
Lincoln has both his own health, consisting of three blocks, and body armor. Health is restored only within one rectangle, the rest is achieved by first-aid kits. Enemies diligently take you apart, so you shouldn’t be especially aggressive, they will calm down quickly. nine0003
Playboy stayed too.
However, it will not work to sit out in shelters, either they will go around and shoot at point-blank range, or they will throw grenades at them. The recent outsider is very similar to our patient in this aspect, the AI behavior pattern is almost the same. So, look for a compromise and act according to the situation. Cartridges also often strive to end, you are still not a walking box.
Stealth is also available in the game, it is made to please, as in all such projects. Opponents are dumb, they don’t see anything, they don’t generate interesting situations. In short, it’s just there, some story quests are tied to it, although you won’t get any benefits from using it in the game itself. Unless you admire beautiful finishing moves, feed a man to a crocodile, or clear out some of the opponents until you are discovered. nine0003
For many, this will probably be a shock — but in the game you can carry corpses. Why is this needed here? God knows.
The physics of the car is quite pleasant, the realistic mode has also remained. I can compare it with both GTA 4 and the second mafia. I would not say that it is straight crazy, but definitely better than in the same GTA 5. The difference between a sports car and some kind of rattletrap is immediately felt. There is also tuning in the game, to reveal all the advantages of which you can in the races.
nine0003
The hangar was able to come up with a fairly pleasant navigation system to tasks in the car, convenient visual signs along the way.
Music & Graphics & City
All the cult music of those years is in place, no one here began to save money. Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Sam Cooke — there is enough musical variety in the game. In addition to songs from the 60s, the game contains tunes recorded by Jesse Harlin and Jim Bonney. nine0003
The song from the trailer (Nobody Wants To Die) was a collaboration with Ice Cube. Its full version was released quite recently, along with the credits of the Definitive Edition of the first part.
There were a lot of problems with the engine at release, from optimization to very strange lighting, and there were enough bugs with collision. But the picture itself is very nice, and for the game of 2016 it is doubly good. At the release in 16, I played the game on the GTX 1060 and even then I did not notice any critical performance problems in the game.
nine0003
Mirrors are scary.
The city remained only a decoration, as in the second part, beautiful of course, especially at night, but empty. Do not expect any advanced simulation here, this is not Watch Dogs 2 for you. Unless the behavior of the police has changed a little, by the way, witnesses call it, running to a payphone. Those who like to call the police can always be eliminated.
The pursuit of you takes place in a certain field of action, if the circle is red — the active phase is in progress, if it is blue — it is enough to leave the danger zone and wait. nine0003
What was not enough, and why it was not on the release
Schools with the same type of running around partially overlap the story missions. I still remember many of them. Amusement park, rescue of an old mafioso, buffet, fistfights, literally destroying a barge, storming a skyscraper. And I have listed only a part, if the whole game is like this.
….
The developers were not even too lazy to make a bunch of options for the death of the main antagonist in the final.
nine0021
And the funny thing about all this is that the developers from the Angar have corrected all this uniformity also through DLC, in which everything is much more concentrated. At the same time, they threw new mechanics from above.
Faster Baby — in this DLC we go to the small town of Sinclair to help our like-minded girl deal with the local sheriff. Threw a new location, new weapons and cars. Most of the missions are driven. Lincoln learned to slow down time and throw grenades out of a car window, and added traps like in NFS in order to break away from his pursuers. All this will be useful to you, the police in this area treat you much more aggressively. nine0003
Cool mini-game about growing marijuana — we are given a greenhouse, with upgrades of lamps, fertilizers, different types of grass.
You can earn good money on this.
Stones Unturned is a buddy movie that expands on the story of John Donovan. They confront us with the traitor Connor Aldridge, who left Donovan to die in Vietnam.
We are waiting for a new location — an island near Cuba, on which there was once a military base of the communists. Now a bunch of mercenaries and the jungle awaits us here. nine0003
Cars with turrets appeared, which made the chase even more fun. Assault on outposts, new heavy weapons to boot, sniper support. Cool quest line with Robert Marshall, who orders us victims in the trunk.
Sign of the Times is the third and last DLC, where the «Angarites» decided to hit the mystique, where without it. We will investigate the ritual murders on behalf of Father James. We have to find a mysterious cult and deal with all its supporters. nine0003
The mechanics of searching for clues or simply investigations have been added to the game, in the manner of Batman or L.
A. noire. Yes, it is greatly simplified, but that does not make it less interesting. They gave out a slowdown when shooting, new cars and weapons. Allowed to restore the bar, destroyed at the very beginning of the original game.
This time I especially liked the story, locations and characters. Trips and galloons are in place.
The worst thing is that most of the players simply missed all these wonderful additions, scoring the game after the main plot. If all this had been in the game at release, as separate quest chains, the situation would have clearly improved. If we were given just quests, but cutting out entire gameplay elements and mechanics from the main game, of which there is already a shortage, would be extreme. What the publisher was thinking, I don’t know, although who am I kidding, about the money received from the season pass. nine0003
Conclusion
Yes, it’s been a dark time for the studio, but I’m glad things are looking up and they’ve managed to pull through.
