MindsEye |OT| The Benz Presents - Mafia 2077

Lmao, I stumbled across this clip of CohhCarnage about to start his sponsorship stream for them and they immediately contacted him to pause/cancel the sponsorship.



I guess it's been THAT bad? I've never seen or heard of anything like this, but I totally get it. Especially if they've already started sponsorships and they were a shitshow for various reasons. I heard one streamer was stuck troubleshooting issues during the entire sponsorship stream, lol. Sounds like a super easy sponsorship for him.

Still ain't worth it.
 
First review is up on metacritic:

"MindsEye is a dumpster fire, no doubt about it. While it was to be expected given its ridiculous time frame of being announced and being released, this is a game that might've been big if it had gotten a little more time to cook. The story is decent and interesting enough while having a common theme, which is hard to do, and the visuals are good enough to be in that $60 price range. There are a lot of problems that need to be fixed, performance and frame rate issues being the most critical, especially since it crashes regularly during gameplay.

Additionally, the gameplay loop and actual gunplay mechanics need a lot of improvement to become a good contender in the third-person action shooter space. We recommend avoiding it until significant improvements have been made to address the performance issues, and even then, wait for a sale to at least not regret buying this rushed mess."

smart.
Contract sponsorships to make it seems like everything is fine and cancel last moment after people bought the game... probably some idiot said that on some meeting there

I wonder if it was this guy. After crashing a bunch of times and having a bunch of technical issues, he was supposed to read off his sponsorship outro but he couldn't keep a straight face and just ended up cracking up.



One last thought from the old Eurogamer interview. Benzies said:

Everywhere is for players, MindsEye is kind of, for us - for our egos.

Guess their talent doesn't match their egos.
 
I've just tried out some of the side content, and it's fine? Game looks good enough, getting 90fps at 4K epic settings, DLSS ultra and frame gen on GFN.

Seems like a generic, 2013 playing third person shooter, which I'm ok with.
 
The game is NOT an open world game ala GTA, Saints row or Watch Dogs. Its a lineair story with the world purely as a backdrop. Yes you can free roam but there really isnt anything to do.

Set your expectations. Judge the game for what it is and not for what its not.
I would love If publisher charged me for what a game is and not for what they wish It was.

Its far from the 'disaster' some people are trying to make it out to be.

"some people"

you mean professional reviewers, people who bought the game, Steam users, paid streamers, news publications, people who have watched trailers and footage from the game, the developers themselves, and the general population at large outside of you and like 3 other people?

I hope the BARB guys will redeem themselves through the patch. Hands-on impression ITT thus far seems like that's what it really needs. My impressions will probably be based on the post-patch version.
 
Not buying the game but my impressions from watching a few streams

- Story seems interesting
- Well animated cutscenes
- Good music
- Horrendous AI and very basic combat
- buttugly characters. I haven't seen a single character I would call pretty
- Driving seems to be pretty good, at least the streamers I watches said that
- Full of bugs and performance issues
- Dialogues are hit or miss but mostly miss

Yeah, I want this game to turn out good and, with the amount of money they've raised with their investors, there has got to be something left to keep BARB going while the sales remain terrible.

Pre 2013 dude. This is like something from 2007-2011. Which is fine with me.
 
It looks like most of the issues are happening with the console edition, I have seen two people who beat the game and said they have no issues on PC.

There's plenty of issues on PC, they're just either easily brute forced through or can be minimized through settings.

I digress. Buying this on console is stupid, and I'm not saying that to be glib or mean spirited. One of the major selling points of the game are the user creation tools and user created content and that only exists on PC right now, with no word on when or if it'll be considered for console.
 


"People who saw our preview and are saying the game looks like an unfinished mess with poor performance are lying, in fact we think some of these people have been paid to shit on the game"

- Game releases-

"Ok so it is an unfinished mess with poor performance. But don't worry we are working on finishing right now !!!"
