Mafia 3

glitches and weird side affects are pretty standard for open world games, can't really think of one that doesn't have them like GTA, witcher 3, etc. The big things that piss me off are glitches happening constantly, a shitty story, or extremely long loading/saving times (and a lot of them).

Just Cause 3 is for example super glitchy, but still super fun especially when you can get some crazy glitches but then the 2-3 min load times every time you try to do a challenge makes the game a shit show, plus the main campaign was short and stupid.

Few hours in, its all right. No glitch issues, game loading times are really good (10-15 seconds from reload) and story is ok so far. Visually its pretty meh, looks like a ps3 game to be honest with meh textures, shitty faces, and buggy lighting. Driving is abysmally bad, with cars handling like RC cars or something. Combat is also terrible - gunplay isn't crisp, melee combat feels floaty, takedowns are really lame usually, and all around it just feels second rate. They also use way too many cutscenes, its like 10 minutes of gameplay, 2 minutes of cutscenes for every story mission.

All in all another 6/10 game, worth a play eventually but I wouldn't rush for it or anything. This is a game that will be $30 on black friday in a bit over a month and $20 next year. After 3-4 hours of play I get kinda bored and have to stop.

yeah i haven't found the game to be overtly SJWish in any way really, while you play a black dude and kill lots of white dudes you also make friends with lots of white people, and lots of white people call you N* and stuff too. Certain neighborhoods if you hang out people call the cops on you just for being there and black. If you do a carjack/robbery in a black neighborhood the police dispatcher says "if any cars are nearby, check it out" but if you do it in a white neighborhood they say "immediate police dispatch required!" and cops come right away, lol

It was also dev'd by a studio in the czech republic I think, and it has a very european "be ethnically sensitive" vibe to it. For example all the hookers so far are black and controlled via drugs, and all the johns are white. Nobody seems to dress up, everyone just looks frumpy. Its weird.

the game is way too ubisoft though, every fucking mission after the prologue requires you to clear out a bunch of shit to attack a sub-boss who leads you to the next sub boss and its just hours and hours of that. an endless grind of bad tower clearing, like someone played way too much Assassin's Creed and Far Cry and then designed this game. The combat AI is just awful too, there are millions of ways to cheese everything so you just sit around bored waiting for shitty NPCs to come to their execution spot.
