Mafia III Gets Official Release Date, New Trailer

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

It seems to suffer from the same problem as the second game - a completely unlikable protagonist. Vito was shallow and it always seemed like he had no mind of his own because he didn't seem to be really interested and invested in anything. But there are at least two reasons for that. His voice actor wasn't very good (he sounds like he's bored all the time) and the game wasn't actually finished properly. It was cut into pieces quite obviously. Entire story parts were missing. Some 100+ missions were cut from the game.
And this guy just seems like a complete psychopath. And not the fun kind of psychopath like Trevor in GTA, just the mean gangster type of psychopath.

Vito was shallow and it always seemed like he had no mind of his own because he didn't seem to be really interested and invested in anything.

I always found it funny how quick Vito was to jump right back into crime. Gets home after some time in Europe? Oh, he wants to go back to the life that go him locked away and sent to fight in Europe! Gets out of prison after crime again failed him? Oh, he jumps right back in like nothing happened! But whatever you do, don't get involved in drugs, because that ruins people's lives!

So, yeah, he didn't feel like he had any thought process or motivation for anything, and any motivation he may have had always seemed at odds with something else but presented as being perfectly consistent.

Nah, doesn't look as manly and badass as GTA.

I watched the trailer and the first loop of the gameplay footage, and it's an immediate turn off to me because it looks a little too 'manly'; I half expected buzzword prompts like HONOUR!, VENGEANCE!, VIOLENCE!, NO WIMMIN ALLOWED! to flash up during that fairly nasty trailer.

I avoided GTAV for its tone and characters (still kinda want to just explore that world, though), and Mafia III looks even less appealing given it doesn't even have GTA's snark, poisoned by nihilism it may recently be.

Roll on the next Saints Row - I want my superhero dress-up sim with aliens and Austen back...

Cannot wait to play this. Delivering pizzas is going to be so fun.
