MindsEye |OT| The Benz Presents - Mafia 2077

Chuck Berry said:
Ok so far

+ Cutscenes look pretty awesome. And the city looks straight up like Cyberpunk 2077. Production values seem high.
+ Story is already intriguing regardless of how predictable it's supposedly is
+ Great to hear Lincolns actor again
+Controls feel good
+Haptic feedback with the triggers
+There is licensed music and the OST is pretty sick so far

-Fuck man that framerate. Def not a solid 30 and there's no performance options. Big yikes indeed. It's already kinda choppy in cutscenes and walking around. Nothing game breaking or detrimental to the experience (for me) but it's noticeable as fuck. Hopefully that gets fixed up.

How's the gunplay?
 
Shooting is tight but lacks punch. The haptics do the heavy lifting and even then it feels sorta weak. This needs to fixed ASAP because the shooting is fun and responsive.

Driving feels super solid so far in the buggy

Well they obviously they thought that Hernandez was the best fit for the role. Like really? You're asking "Why'd they hire this guy?" 😆

I think they wanted rather make a statement. Like, look we have the same actor like Mafia, all Mafia aficionados, please buy our game :messenger_beaming:

This game looks like something you'd find in a gamestop garbage bin where they throw away all the crappy games they have in stock and it's discounted to hell just to get rid of the inventory. The name is generic, the gameplay looks like 360 era jank, and the premise of the story seems boring. Nothing about this game looks worth buying unless it's 20 dollars or below and you want to give it a try.

Good to know before hand. Appreciate the info
 
This is already going places. Spec Ops The Line vibes right here at the moment. I miss these simple cover shooters man. And it feels GOOD.

The music during this first flashback sequence 😲😲😲 They knocked it out of the park with the licensed stuff so far.

*Rockstar wishes they had shooting that felt this tight (aside from MP3). The Benz knows what's up. It's why he left.

Lemme know when you can SharePlay it. 😁
 
This game feels like some CP2077 third person shooter side story.

It's not at all as busted as everyone is making it out to be. AT ALL.

It's just really simple and straight forward so far. Which is really fucking refreshing.

Just please fix the framerate and make the shooting feel a little weightier 🙏🏻

Also

+the black supporting female isn't played by Debra Wilson

I caved about 20 minutes before release and pre-ordered, been playing it since 6pm, it's good, there's lots of jank, the framerate is definitely all over the place even on PS5 Pro, but it's ambitious and i like this kind of game, the story is excellent so far.

I'd say it's got huge potential, needs a bit more time in the oven.
 
I can't stress enough how awesome it feels to finally play a modern day traditional TPS.

I've missed this so much. And now we have Gears and Mafia in August. Hells fucking yes.

Looks 360 era? I better check this out because that sounds like a great thing lol
 
There is this certain quality about this while having some not yet annoying slightly rough edges. If it's a first effort, it's pretty decent so far.

One of the boys is playing it now on his system so he will probably beat this before me. Not bad so far and we went half and half on the bastard!
 
They should have just released this shit as an early access game. People would have thought to give it more time and said it was ok. Instead they shot themselves in the foot releasing it like this
 
This feels like if something like Watch Dogs 1 was linear. I hope some sort of focus/bullet time eventually gets added. It's begging for it (unless you get it eventually)

If you drive in the first person view the framerate actually stays pretty solid. Driving controls feel like Watch Dogs 1 to me as well.
 
Also one thing that NO ONE has pointed out -

There's no map screen. There's no button to press to see where you are in the city. You just go from place to place without knowing how large any area is.

Pretty outrageous. And I love it 😃

He's borderline becoming just as bad as Dreamcast Zitface and White Trash T Shirt with his facial expressions for his videos.

Dreamcast guy is definitely a grifting a-hole. He just hates everything now just so he can make money. It's sad how much of a sellout he's become with his videos.
 
For whatever reason my screenshots won't upload

But the shotgun feels good 🙂 Finally got one almost 4 hours deep. And it still feels like I'm at the beginning.
 
Definitely feels like some buyers remorse cope posts in here at the moment. I think best to wait a week for that to die down before the real honest thoughts are laid bare.
 
It's a shame they had to release it in this state. It kinda looks like something I would enjoy other than the excessive cut scenes if it wasnt so bug ridden.
 
The game feels like such an anomaly in 2025.

It's a straight up barebones story driven TPS. When the fuck was the last time we got one of these? Uncharted? Quantum Break? Gears 4/5?

*I realize QB and Gears have a weak ass upgrade system but they're two of the nearest "cover based" tps's that we've had

Last one I played is an indie called Scars Above. I loved it. Got the plat.

The one I'm playing now is Vanquish.

All of those have upgrades and shit and don't have a cover system so no, none of those qualify. Nice try though!

posted that list because I wanted to show that third-person story-driven shooters do still exist in recent years even if they've evolved beyond the barebones formula you're talking about

So my list was to highlight that the genre isn't dead or an anomaly, it just grew up and got more complex, unlike what Mindseye seems to be aiming for

I meant anomaly AS IN barebones dude, because we don't get them anymore. This is like the gears or max payne days of the early 00s. I'm not saying it's just as good as those, but that's what it is. Just shoot and go forward.
