Nah, the X has HDR and it didn't look particularly good. It was an odd implementation, and even though I have no analysis tools, I swear it ran worse when HDR was on.

Ouch, I've beaten Mafia 3 and I know the scenery would have looked awesome with a good implementation. Still, I'm getting back in so I can play Sign of the Times.
Enjoying it so far and I have noticed that at times it is pretty rough as you said... I had to kill this gang leader Baka, and yeah, I took down all of his fellas, and I found him in a room. I shoot him down with 3 to 4 shots. He falls because he's dead, supposedly. He is literally there, laying down being dead, so I approach him. Little did I know he wasn't dead. He just gets up in a super weird move and kills me, lol. I had little life left.
The DLC is incredible. Sign of the Times is probably my favorite, but they were all really good. They introduce mechanics not found in the original game and really freshen things up.
Yeah especially after they patched some of my initial concerns. I jump quite a bit in that game.
Didn't wanna start a thread, but damn, Mafia III runs like bung hole on the PS4 Pro. Shoot outs with more than three characters on screen cause shocking slow down. Plus the physics system is messed up. If you knock over a chair it just bounces all over the gaf. It looks rather rough too, most character models look like clay (not the character, the material), and the image quality is yuck.
The kill animations. My God they're dreadful.
I can't fathom how this looked/ran/played on launch.

Yeah, the DLC is fantastic. I didn't even realize those missions, area, and even weapons were locked behind DLC until I looked it up.
Eeeeek! Quite fancied this game but not even gonna bother DL it now!
I believe it runs quite well in X1X?
What's up with the dead by daylight servers? Me and my friend can't invite each other to a group or find a game. Is no one playing this or are the servers just not there?
Mafia 3 is alright so far. The graphics are so ehhhhh though to be honest.
Dead by daylight is fun with friends but I can see it getting boring. I wish that you had different ways to escape the area instead of just starting up generators. Maybe there are different game modes I haven't found out about yet.

I was going to make a LTTP thread but i'll just post it here since we're all talking about it.
Is it me or is the beginning of Mafia 3 incredible?
The introduction and world building with the music, environment, and characters are something else. Also, the format of the storytelling seems almost... revolutionary? Can't recall this storytelling style ever being done like this before in a game.

Hmmm I can't seem to start Mafia III when booting up.
Get stuck on infinite loading screen right after adjusting brightness and choosing difficulty.
I see its a common problem online. Disappointed by the 2k devs such a bug still exists two years later.
I'm not inclined to delete and re-download 60Gb.

Mafia story seems interesting so far but the missions are kinda boring and samey so far. At least the cover system is decent.
Think I might just be burned out on the Gtaish open world formula. Driving around between missions and nothing really organic feeling happening in the world.

Very under rated game. I am really enjoying Mafia 3 so far. It can be a bit repetitive on the missions, but overall it's fun and engaging to play.
Mafia 3 is a very mediocre game, in my opinion is not worth.
What is worth is the dlc, I played only one of them (on PC, the one provided with the game when it was included in Humble Monthly) and I was amazed on how the dlc is good and with variety compared to the base game which is ALL the same.

I'm doing Mafia 3 right now and I love the ambiance, the missions are a bit repetitive but I can get over it, I like the game
Their error is the game design which is to conquest the different neighborhood and I can understand people not liking it
And Dead by Daylight is awesome, I play with a friend, we join a public session and play with other players, it scares and you're stressed when the killer is chasing you, I love this game !
It can be improved especially in the menu, for example, when you finish a game with a friend, you are separated and you have to invite your friend again

I'm really enjoying Mafia. I suppose it does help that I'm only a few hours in so the repetition hasn't really started yet, but there's some strong stuff here. The narrative devices are neat.
Quite enjoying Dead by Daylight, only annoyance I have right now is when you get matched up with a killer who just camps the hook.
Yeah, those campers are really annoying but you can use that precious time to fix generators like a madman
I'm surprised that I am enjoying Mafia III way more than Dead by Daylight, because multiplayer is really, reallyyyy my jam, and I usually get hooked on this kind of games. That hasn't happened yet with DbD, I supposed I should give it some more time.
Mafia III, however, I absolutely love the ambiance, being set in the late 60s really works for me, and the story so far looks interesting, and not only that, it's told in a very captivating, original way, I believe.

Dead By Daylight is the perfect kind of dumb fun before the September craze. I suspect it's going to get old real quick, but for now I'm hooked (ha. ha.).
Shame the server issues are still ongoing though. Could only complete a single game in an hour earlier.
Aside from Friday 13th are there any other games in the genre ? That do things better preferably, because there's a looot of room for improvement here.

Yeah, it's amazing.
Seems very marmitey though. Lots of people think it's crap too.
Maybe older people like it, dunno? Love the news stories on the radio. The sound track is incredible but I wish it had at least triple the tracks.
Maybe I just haven't given it enough time (having played about 4 matches), but I just can't seem to get into Dead by Daylight. Everything just feels so clunky. I'm sure it doesn't help that I played with randoms online and of course nobody has a mic.
I kind of feel like I'm just running around a dark maze with one task.

Dead by Daylight is pretty neat, though sometimes I just can't see any way to escape the killer. They can be so fast that any number of obstacles are overcome within seconds, and the reach on some of their attacks is bogus. Saw my friend make it through a window and get about five feet away, only to get downed by a swing from the killer on the other side.
Although my biggest issues with the game are the long loads and longer matchmaking times (with a party of 4 survivors). Connection seems iffy at times too, and can ruin a game.

How you clear areas is so dumb on Mafia. Unless I'm during it wrong I seem to always be clearing the same area twice.
Once without the boss present and a second time once you've done enough "damage" to his raquet and made him come out of hiding.

Loving what I'm reading here about mafias story I need to get started on it, I wanted to clear out some more of my back log before Spider-Man (just beat wolfy 2 great game) but I might just try to play through this
Edit: don't want to double post and I'm not sure where to post this so I'll just update this , just played through the first couple hours and holy shit that intro was fantastic the story telling was like a really well done and directed version of what far cry 5 tried to do with the cutting to interviews but it does nothing in this case but add to the story and over all presentation.
And man Lincoln is such a Savage , I dig the bearded look more though . I also gotta appreciate some of the animations in this game the shooting feels decent but can be wonky with enemies that are closer to you but the little animation when you stop aiming and start to move in a direction looks really awesome and natural

There's an unranked mode where you can play with as few people as you like (bare minimum 2), but if you want to level up and whatnot within the main game, you'll have to get randoms. You'll always be getting at least one random to fill the killer's postion.
I know some people prefer to listen to their own music during open world games, but fight that urge here. Make sure you guys listen to the radio in Mafia 3, especially when a show is playing. There's some really amazing stuff there. The atmosphere is out of this world.
I wish the DLC was on sale so I could recommend that.

Mafia is pretty boring to play unfortunately. Thinking of dropping it? Are there any twists to the story or does it never go beyond the basic story it sets up?
I'm loving Dead by Daylight. Played it late at night when I was high and it genuinely scared the pants off me as a survivor.
im starting to get into dead by daylight, very fun and funny game.
Here's a full match of mine, ended up sacrificing all the survivors lol.
So determined to save their teammates :P

Mafia 3 was a nice surprise when it comes to the story, the beginning and end are really great, but the progression and same type of mission repeating to exaustion makes me say this was one of the worst open word games i ever played. If it wasent the story giving me an extra incentive to progress in the game i would probably have droped the game short after the beginning.
Also nice music selection and collectibles. Playboy magazines with the centerfold playmate and some of them include full interviews to personalities of the 60's, like interview with The Bettles or Stanley Kubrick that can be read in full.
This is a game that would be much better without an open world, and just being a linear game.

It wouldnt be that much of an issue if you didn't have to drive SOOOOO much. LIke so many missions were literally driving to the other side of the map, and then you would have to drive ALLLLLL the way back.
Like, why?!
Yup. Thats why i dont see the need of an open world for this game. Aside from the collectibles there was absoletly nothing to do. Was just driving from Point A to Point B. The missions was all the same to all districts with little variations. Just the missions to confront the bosses had cool locations, and some nice stuff here and there. And they play the same way they could play in a linear game.
yup. the open world is just boring. there is no reason to stop on your way from point a to point b outside of finishing your playboy collection lol
yeah been playing it half of today, it's very exhilarating being a survivor.
