The first proper mission after the intro stuff.
The chase down richie one.
Damn good
DAMN GOOD STUFF
Also that hop Lincoln does after coming out of zoom before he starts to sprint...just fantastic animation.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
The.Fucking.Facial.Animation in this game!! So goddamn good!
And these cutscenes are so well done, so many props and nuances. And the fucking music, and that fucking acting, how the hell did they get these performances? Goddamn it's so impressive.

One's more Blues-y I think, another is more distinctly Rock(modern for the time rock) and the other I haven't listened to enough but I think that's more older music and country maybe.
I mean it was directed by Haden Blackman, who did The Force Unleashed. The acting and facial performances in those games were top notch. I can definitely see some similarities in Mafia 3.
From my 4 hours last night, yes. Ran perfectly fine, without issue. 5820 oc'd/970 oc'd/16gb ram. Some people are having issues though with CTD it seems and other graphical glitches and apparently a loading issue now, but if you have a rig that can handle it seems like a no brainer to go PC. A patch is coming for the FPS and other things. So hopefully it can only get better. Plus mods and other PC exclusive tweaks are always a possibility. Already some custom shader stuff out there.

After only playing the game for about two hours, I'm pretty surprised by all the 'amazing' posts in this thread.
The presentation is good I guess, with the way they are telling the story like a documentary, but the overall graphics, and ESPECIALLY the missions and gameplay, seem so generic and tired. It's just get in cover, pop out and shoot, run to cover, repeat. Nothing new.
Let's just say I'm starting to understand why review copies weren't sent out, which is probably not a good sign...

Spent about 3 hours playing it. Absolutely blown away by the facial tech and the voice acting. I'm so invested into this story already.
I've had one ctd on PC and the clouds seem to be flying past wayy too quick in the sky making the shadows fly past wayyyy too quick. Other than that, I'm having a blast.

I know but this is like some next level shit.
Shame.
Hell of a motivation though.
Thanks for the impressions. Gonna pick this up tonight on Steam.
The voice acting is great so far in. Like I said I get an uncanney valley feeling from the animations but they do some of the best job I've seen in conveying actual emotion, which is so rare in games I play. Coming from MGS5 which I played last night the difference is night and day, although those characters looked good they didn't feel like people talking.
Helps that the dialog is damn good. I also love how the game seamlessly cuts to cutscenes instead of the usual bland fade out. So good.

Nothing new? What could they have added to a game set in the 60's that would feel new?

What did you expect? A Jet pack and wall running or something? Of course it's a cover shooter, not sure what you were expecting when every single open world game follows the same formula. If you're feeling burned from this game you only have yourself to blame, all of the pre-release material showed exactly the kind of game this was going to be.

Yeah this game is great so far. Nothing else to say. Framerate an lighting isn't great but everything else is very good.
I can't think of any other open world game with such a great atmosphere besides GTA or RDR.
edit: And the soundtrack...Folsom Prison blues...yeah man. Amazing

I have to agree with this. Hopefully it picks up eventually, but I can't see myself sticking with it long enough to find out.

I Fought the Law song question / mission spoiler
Did the game auto switch to that song after the heist police chase? Cause a about second before the song came on I press right on the D-pad to switch stations, and the song change and then they started signing I was like HOLY SHIT!!. So did the game switch stations/song for this particular incident and i happen to just press the button at the right moment. ( Which i think is the correct answer )
Or
Did I stumble upon something and if I didn't change stations they would have sing along with the song that was playing.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I hate it personally, barely use it. Too fidgety.

I finished the first couple missions and so far the story seems very interesting, the voice acting and the facial animations are some of the best I've seen/heard. It's a shame the game has (at least on PC) technical difficulties because the game itself seems to be really good. Kinda torn if I should keep playing or wait for that 60fps patch.

Umm what menu is the nonlethal/lethal takedown option?
YES, so much YES
Fidgety how? I'm talking about the roadsigns showing you where to take turns. Much better than some yellow line on the ground or having to constantly look at the map.

Matthew if you are listening, please allow UPS to move my Mafia 3 copy from their jacksonville location where it currently sits and waits.
Also, thanks for not horribly killing me and my family.

You didn't go to Option first. Look to the left of the top bar.
