I know people will get mad at this but I trust them over shills on GAF tbh.

So you think no one can genuinely like it and we are shills? Maybe you should decide yourself if you like it instead of letting clickbait youtubers tell you what to like. And if you don't like it then sure you can find youtube videos that agree with you while I could find videos that agree with me.

That's fine, you do you. But I do wonder why? Is it because these random people make a video about it over us writing about it on a forum?

You trust those making a video to get as many clicks as possible while the gamers that share their experience with the game they bought with their own money are shills. Ok.

Yes, it is very obvious from the videos that this game is slop. On the other hand we have people here who spent money, which means they are invested into convincing themselves that the money was well spent. Also fanboys of the franchise who will defend it no matter what. Now sure you can also say the the youtubers have an interest in creating drama/negative attention. But it goes both ways and at least they present an argument in video form instead of "trust me bro" and "feels".

Again, you should judge it yourself. If you don't like it then it's fine, not everyone will do of course. Why does random clickbait youtubers words worth more than ours? If we are shills then they are what? Don't you think they are trying to earn money with these videos? You really can't see the irony in all this, can you?
I mean, the game is IMO nothing special, but enjoyable if you liked Mafia 1/2. Still, you call people shills while "trusting" the most obvious clickbait trash youtubers. How does anyone look at those thumbnails/titles and not realize what kind of "content" those youtubers make is beyond me. So many people with completely fried brains nowadays.

So have I:
No idea how I'm a shill only because I bought the game and actually enjoy it while even acknowledging the flaws I think it has.Well, I managed to get some gametime into this yesterday. It's incredibly good looking and Enzo just learned the ropes of the business. Constantly stopping during traveltime to see if there are collectibles. I think I needen't worry about that so early in. Stopped playing as soon as I hit chapter 4. Playing it in Sicilian cause why not? Good writing and so far very likeable (read believable) characters.
Gameplay is very basic. Everything you'd expect from an action/adventure game is in here. Doesn't reinvent the wheel anywhere so far, but also no hassle in learning unnecessary mechanics. Minor upgrades, (cover)shooting and simple stealth (proper description byHumdinger ).
I'm having a good time with it and can't wait to play more once I'm done with work for today.
That you rather have moving images (video's) than plain text is all fine, btw. I'm not "calling you out" because of that.
I do call you out, because I find it odd at the very least how everyone here is a "shill" only because MAYBE some people are fanboys or anything else you don't find trustworthy. Like you already said yourself: How is a Youtube any different?

Stop making an ass out of yourself with assumptions. I've never played a Mafia game, this is the first even though i got some for free on ps plus.

If people enjoying the game then they're enjoying it. Maybe it have huge problems but they are enjoying it and stating it on a related forum thread. That makes them shills? I'm getting really old and learning new things every day.
Also there will always be people like; "I don't like this game!!! You CANNOT like this game!!!!" I'm the center of the world!!!!
By the way: I don't own this game. I have the trilogy but didn't play them yet as well. So biggest "shill" here.

What are you even doing in this thread? I love when douchebags arrive in an OT where everyone's having a blast just to dump some YT vids trashing the experience expecting us to watch it
That's some good moves there Windom. For a Twin Peaks fan I'd think you'd have a bit more of a brain, but hey.

Both. Some are forced stealth, meaning if you're detected it's mission failed. However, so far at least, the vast majority of missions start in stealth, but it's up to you if you want to keep it that way.
That I don't even care about, tbh. It's calling everyone in here a shill and/or unable to form an (honest) opinion, is where the stupidity of his post comes from.

People like shitting on stuff that others enjoy. I've done it myself, so I get it. You get an ego boost from feeling superior to all those low IQ dummies who don't "get it." Never mind that you haven't played the game yourself and are taking your cues from Youtubers who hate just about everything.

Yeah, I just finished the racing chapter and flipped my car like 8 times and won lmao. It's so dumb
(Again, I'm a Mafia fan and I'm enjoying the game for what it is but I honestly can't fathom how some people think this is some kind of masterpiece)
