FAST TRAVEL MAFIA 3 SERIES

If M3 had made the 'filler' missions optional, the game would have been much better received.Д®h, that's a pretty flimsy argument. As such, these missions are seen as filler, even if they're well-designed.

FAST TRAVEL MAFIA 3 SERIES

The series has always been story-driven and M3 deviates from that by offering a bunch of missions that don't advance the story in any way. The previous games were criticized for not utilizing the open-world in any meaningful way. Critically, the game was criticized for being too formulaic. Not as well as GTA, obviously, but well by Mafia standards. However, you'd never know this unless you actually tried the game.ДЇailed in what respect? Critically? Commercially? Commercially, I think it actually did pretty well. It certainly wasn't perfect but it explored some interesting themes, introduced some interesting characters and fundamentally improved the core gameplay mechanics of the series. I'm glad that they tried something new with Mafia 3. Refusing to play something for such petty reasons only hurts innovation and leads to stagnant franchises. Or when people dismissed Prey because it had nothing to do with the original. Or when people dismissed RE7 because it was first-person. Or when people dismissed HITMAN because it was episodic. It reminds me of when people dismissed Splinter Cell: Blacklist because Ironside was no longer voicing Fisher. Personally, I think dismissing games for things like that are silly. It's simply an observation that he dismissed the game because it didn't match his preconceptions. Again, this isn't an accusation of racism. Therefore, he didn't want to play as an African American. As far as I know, there were no African American members of the Italian mafia. He said it himself: he wanted a game where you played as a member of the Italian mafia. When he saw that the protagonist was black instead of Italian, he dismissed the game. Perhaps I should have rephrased my assertion to appear less inflammatory. That game has established such a high bar for these kind of games, and the online component has given fans of the genre ample reason to stick with what they already had. And GTA is the real elephant in the room. Failing to meet such basic expectations will naturally turn people off who were expecting something different. The publisher should have given more thought to using the word Mafia and/or how they used it, because right off the bat that will cause many people to expect a story based on the NY families, Capone, the Godfather movies, the Soprano's, etc. Mafia by itself means the original.ДЄll in all, I would blame the publisher and GTA. Other organizations would typically be known as the XYZ Mafia or ABC mob. It's true that other organized crime has been referred to by some version of the word mafia, but most people who hear the word mafia without another adjective think the Italian Mafia. But I think you're missing something in your first paragraph. Click to expand.I think you're right in assuming many people dismissed it when they saw you did not play as an Italian or Italian American.
