WHO HERE HYPE FOR MAFIA 3?
>black guy in mafia game
Just give it to rockstar already
>>333590308
who the fuck is this literal american? where is the italian?
>>333590308
My wife's son is pretty hype.
>>333590959
>gamescom demo
>"yeah you can do a car torpedo"
>mc just casually flips out of a speeding car and everything explodes
were once
>>333593335
WUZ
I'm pretty excited actually
>>333590308
After Mafia II I don't expect anything anymore. The series is and still mediocre as fuck
>>333590308
It won't be good "Mafia game" and you know it.
But it might be good game.
>>333590308
After Joe died I don't want to play it anymore
No Joe No Buy
>>333590308
yup cant wait
>>333595481
>Joe
;_;
A FUCKING MOOLIGNON
>>333595481
>annoying loud friend everyone has
Fuck no.
>>333596220
>fat friend who shot his boss to save you
Aren't race-based criminal groups meant to be super racist? Why is this about a black guy? Or is the whole group black?
>>333594254
MAFIOSOS
A CHARCOAL BRIQUETTE
>>333590308
>Make a huge scene about racism
>Main character isn't even fully black
Devs are hypocrites
what the fuck happened
Mafia was a literal 10/10 game.
Mafia 2 was a 6/10 at least.
This shit looks like 3.
>>333593094
i think recognize that kid
https://youtu.be/iXYmFqEkCGQ
how is a black person even considered mafia? its Italian, thats where they fucked up in this game also with the bs cars blowing up. May as well play burnout on the PS2
>>333590308
Pretty hype, as long as it's as atmospheric as mafia 2, i'll be happy. hopefully they made every store unique and enterable, wanna buy all the property
>>333595220
Don't talk to me or my mom's son ever again.
>>333596496
Mafia 2 was rushed and when lead dev left went to complete shit in dlcs. Mafia 3 is made by people who made only Star Wars:FU before and saw a couple of minutes of Mafia 2 gameplay.
>>333596675
In the same way that the italians sold heroin to black criminal organizations there was a lot of connections between gangs of different races.
>>333596496
for all the shit mafia 2 got, i think it did two things right atleast
as far as i remember right now, the gunplay was actually decent. I mean it aimed kinda ass, but i'm thinking of the sound and presumed impact of the weapons had actual oomph. that make any sense?
Also that one mission where you go to kill some guy and it turns out to be the protagonist from the first game. that was hype as fuck.
>>333597361
Mafia 2 did a lot of things right, but a few stupid design decisions and cutting out content ruined the game.
>>333590308
It's not Mafia. It's a mix between Saints Row and Crazy Taxi. Also a little bit of Manhunt - press X to show 5 seconds long kill animation.
>>333597876
Except the story is shit compared to mafia1
>Black guy just looking like a white cis man
No efforts here
>expect la cosa nostra
>get negro thug
RIP franchise
>>333590308
These threads always go the same way
>person says it's inaccurate because he's black
>WE WUZ X
>Someone says black people worked with mafia
>Shitstorm about whether game is racebait and should just be a white guy
>people say mafia 1 was only good game in series
>cuck jokes
>shitstorm continues until thread dies
I think that the game looks kind of fun, and that I honestly don't fucking care what race the guy is, as long as it makes sense, and so far there seems to be a good reason why a black guy could be in this story.
>>333598623
If you think the game looks fun, then you're retarded.
>>333598409
>hey we need more diversity.
k I'll tap the color slider slightly
>perfect
>>333598760
It's literally this, not even joking .
>>333593282

>>333598760
>>333598870
Actual black men when???
>Tfw Reggie got his own game
>>333599173
Can't wait for a mod to change Lincoln's model to Reggie.
>Game will probably have a lot of focus on race in criminal organizations
>YFW they wont show anything about the black panther party.
Wasted potential. Shit was actually very interesting.
WE WUZ GOODFELLAZ N SHIT
BADABING BADABOOM
>>333598623
u saying we wuz mafia n shit?
>>333599694
U saying we wuz romans n shit?
>mfw I'm from New Orleans
>mfw New Orleans is the game's setting
>mfw I'm legitimately excited for this game
>All these hypocrites who won't by the game just because it has a black main character.
Just like Sjw's and feminists who won't by a game because of a white lead or a sexy female in game.
>>333600158
But ill pirate it tho so its ok
>>333600158
i would pirate it even without this nignog
>>333590308
You know that fat cocksucker says I look like the Shah of Iran?
>>333600158
>ruin franchise with muh diversity muh black ppl struggle nonsense
>waa its cuz he be black
About as hyped as I was for Mafia 2, which is not at all. but I did like the game eventually tho.
What about that New Orleans setting?
>>333590308
the guy looks like my cousin
>>333596318
N SHIIEET
>>333600661
reason why I'm so reluctant to play a GTA clone game is that they never got the driving to feel as good as GTA. literally no one does it better than Rockstar themselves.
>>333590308
>Nigger
Not buying
>>333600595
Look at this thread anon, I can see people are saying it ruins the franchise but there's also people who are triggered by a black mafia member when was black mafia members and bosses.
>>333600775
>tfw driving in Watch_Dogs
Its called Mafia staring a nigger MC.
I mean.
You really can't even ignore the agenda pushing. I give not one single fuck about what the devs say.
they are pushing an agenda.
It walks like a duck and it talks like a fucking duck.
Why is western media so fucking hell bent on this social-engineering op to get us to like niggers.
>>333601020
Except there never was and posting a random pick without and sources doesn't prove a single thing.
inb4 wikipedia.
>>333601020
It would be a better mafia game if we still had slavery

Is that enough?
>>333601179
We still do anon
>>333601402
Also here's a wanted poster
>>333601020
It's the same as making a bloods and crips game staring an Italian guy. It's not what people expect and/or want.
Go check the creative director of this game, some of his tweets in particular. It's so obvious where the narrative of this game will go.
Besides the fact that we already know there'll be a big focus on racism, completely ruining the story, it looks terrible gameplay wise aswell.
>>333601051
You're a joke stuck reading Godfather fanfiction because Italian guy in the family climbing the ranks can only have so many story lines. The family relying on someone who is an obvious outsider to get jobs done that they can't be linked to freshens up the narrative of an archaic setting.
I don't see an agenda, I see them almost being creative.
>>333601680
Anon, they had black mafia goers, just like they had white it wasn't a race specific thing. Am I mad about how it is gameplay and story wise? Yes I am but it's stupid to not play a game only because of a black protagonist.
>>333600775
Both Mafia games had better driving than GTA.
>>333602163
>Mafia 3 Tackles Racism and the Vietnam War in 1960s New Orleans
>Mafia III stars Lincoln Clay, a black Vietnam veteran who began life as an orphan.
>Lincoln decides to fight back, and he teams up with a small crew to dismantle the Italian mob in New Orleans and build a new family to call his own.
>His small crew includes a black woman, Cassandra, an Irish thug named Burke, and none other than Vito from Mafia II.
The Vietnam War bit interested me a bit, but I just hate the New Orleans setting.
>>333602392
I'm more of the opposite because the American South rarely gets any games
You retards know that you don't need to be Italian go be in the fucking mafia right? There have been black people, Irish people and Jewish people in the Mafia.
However only Italians can move up into the upper ranks.
>>333602532
Memes come before facts now, didn't you get the memo?
>>333598623
Hol up
*smacks lips*
Ayo you be sayin
*checks around instinctively for po-lice*
Ayooo hol up
*pours one out for his homies Trayvon and Mike Brown*
Hol up hol up
*muh dicks*
You be sayin we wuz mafia n shiieeeet
>>333602867
Yes there was black mafia members anon
>>333600158
>Won't buy
>Not forcing them to change it
>Just will only meme
Still waiting for the twitter ranting and petitions before I say anything
>>333602925
Bix nood to you too Mr. shekelstein
When are we getting Black protagonist in Medieval European setting?
>>333603328
Go to my other post and see for yourself anon, quit being dumbfounded but I bet you'll blame the Jews next.
>>333601402
>>333601921
>>333602532
There were black Nazi soldiers aswell. How are Nazis depicted? How do you expect them to look?
I don't care if there were black guys in the Mafia, I don't care if the story will be anti-mafia.
I, and many others, expect something from this franchise, and this is not it. Don't be suprised when people get pissy about it.
Couldn't they move away from Mafia and call it something else, with a brand new direction, characters, etc.? Build something new, something fresh. Stop trying to capitalize on the name and fanbase, while delivering something people did not ask for.
>>333603607
Soon anon
>>333601691
Are you fucking retarded? You're literally just making shit up.
Someone who can write a good narrative doesn't need to box themselves in with characters they write, a good narrative will be good and the characters help move it along.
They could've chosen a white guy to be the "outside guy." They could've chosen anyone but a black dude. They could've written in a long-lost brother of the MC of the first game as the character. But instead to appeal to the PC crowd they made it a nigger so they can get some good-boy points from the media. That's an agenda, you blind moron.
>>333603830
Cearly we are only talking about people getting pissy over something that actually happened, I agree with the criticism for its story and gameplay but not the criticism for a black protagonist
>>333603981
Is everything with a black person just for good boy points?
>>333603926
US of CU*KS
>>333604065
If it's in the media, then yes.
HOL UP
>>333604132
That's dumb, really dumb.
>>333590308
i don't care what ethnicity the protagonist is. It's an open world late 1960's new orleans crime simulator and that sounds fucking cool.
>>333604230
Dumb because I'm saying it or dumb because it happens?
>>333603607
I'd like a game about Saint Maurice honestly
>>333603607
I think Kingdom Come will have a black protagonist
>>333604331
SHITPOSTED
>>333604278
Both anon, you're middle ground here. Yes it does happen but to say that everytime a black character is added for good boy points is very far-fetched.
>>333604268
WUZ
>nigger
DROPPED
>>333604340
>implying it won't be about pic related.
>>333604278
I think you've realised how stupid you look a couple posts ago, but you're in too deep now anon, can't stop and I wanna watch you flounder
>>333604440
Well no shit. Im not saying it happens every time. I'm just saying that's the reason people usually do it anymore. It's not that they want a good character, they want a BLACK character to attract the diversity crowd. Sure there are movies and games that don't do it for diversity's sake, but usually that's the reason.
>>333604768
Alright, I gotcha anon.
This shit offends me.
We are truly under rapresented in videogames, even though we have a huge heritage and history, and we only had like, a couple of assassins creed games.
Fuck it, we wuz mafia'n shit, we want to be rapresented since we are a minority in the US.
>old /v/ just used to say if people with an agenda wanted to make a game to make it themselves
Looks like people are doing that. Who cares, though? When it comes to release if the situation turns out to be revisionist bullshit it will be called out on it.
>>333604754
If sharing my opinion is stupid then fuck it, I'm glad to be. Better to speak out than to be a beta.
>its a mafia game
>except you are not in the mafia and you are not a slick grease Italian immigrant
So, this just isnt a mafia game.
The worst part is the game will flop, and people will jump on the racist bandwagon claiming the game failed because its got a black protagonist and people are racist. But the fact is the game will fail because it just isnt a mafia game.
>>333604903
>Looks like people are doing that. Who cares, though?
I do
I like the Mafia franchise, and this isnt a real Mafia game. They have hijacked the series.
>>333604768
Still fucking retarded, sorry dude. It could be a long lost brother from the MC... just to keep it white?
>>333605068
Anon you do know Italians weren't the only mafia members right? If it does fail it's just white people who will call other white people racist.
>>333604903
It's the complaint of using established franchises.
>>333600157
Except it will look nothing like NO like every game set in a major city.
>>333605212
It's a matter of integrity, of not being a lazy fucking writer and actually taking time to think through your story rather than being lazy and doing shit because you know the status quo will pick up on it and get their panties wet. That's all.
>>333605320
You play as a character who spends their entire time killing Mafia members, while you are not part of any Mafia.
It isnt a mafia game.
>>333605554
You are in a mafia though.
>>333596220
>only friend you have in the game
>"fuck him."
I bet you have loads of friends.
>>333600158
SJW's don't buy shit. They don't vote with their wallets, they vote with victim complex. If they don't want it, that's fine. That's the market But they're critiquing the market for wanting things that are "problematic". They want to shut down successful concepts that sell because "white male".
Me and my wife's son are so excited for this
>>333605642
No you dont, stop being idiotic.
>>333602532
Mafia wasn't a singular organization. There was a Irish mob, a Jewish mob, a black.
>>333605775
Yes you are anon, you've been in one for awhile
>>333605890
Putting your fingers in your ears going 'Nononono' doesn't make you right
You play in a group called the 'black mob', but it in no way represents any type of Mafia, it doesnt stick to the Mafia tropes the series is known for.
It isnt a mafia game. End of discussion.
>>333605498
True Crime was a perfect 1:1 recreation of LA and it was garbage because LA is a shitty grid.
>>333606024
I said that you were in the mafia anon I don't know what you're on about.
Ayoo
We wuz kangs and mafios
>>333605887
Mob =/= Mafia
Can you imagine a game called Yakuza with a black character?
>>333606271
I'd play it, considering there was a black samurai.
>>333606271
Dey wuz Chinese too nigga
Shiieeeet
After the end of Mafia II, it makes sense for the series fans to want to take on the Mafia families alongside Vito.
But most of the people complaining don't even play the Mafia games so that's that.
>>333605519
Not that other guy, but Jesus fucking christ you're a retarded piece of shit. Your arguement is stupid as fuck. And you're going to keep going so you aren't "beta" on an anonymous image board? Just stop, anon.
>1% of black people act civilized and are smart
>this saves their entire race
when will the "blacks are equal" meme end?
>>333606069
No it wasnt. Shut the fuck up. Did you even play True Crime?
>>333606601
You aren't even equal anon, you're white but you're not out there doing anything besides complaining.
>>333606689
no u
>>333603926
The fuck is this? I don't watch a lot of T.V. but I recognize the ABC logo. Is this a real show?
>>333590308
OOGA BOOGA WHERE DA ITALIAN MAFIA CHICKS AT?
Was so excited for an open world thing like assassins creed with those expand your area of the city missions that remove other factions
Was hoping for "choose what faction and race and gender"
Was hoping for start your own faction
Was hoping for rival factions reacting on the map to your faction being too aggressive
was hoping for corrupt the system or shoot it up
was hoping for police and FBI coming into play if you're faction starts too much shit
was hoping for fallout new vegas tier story decisions
was hoping for dynamic friendships with NPCs that hate one another so picking one bars the use of another
was hoping for the ability to choose your gangs area of expertise
things like alcohol, drugs, gambling, loans, corruptions, protection racketeering, fraud
was hoping for a dynamic city with seasons
was hoping for a dynamic city that reacted to how your gang operated from too much drugs and alcohol etc
was hoping for late game options like running for mayor or making your business "legit"
Its a bad feel desu senpai

Mafia games were always more about the story than a sandbox for you to build your own criminal empire.
Your idea sound great tough, but probably to ambitious
>>333609297
why would you expect a gta clone with a smaller budget to do a bunch of shit even gta can't do yet?
