""we deliberately made a game [about] a black man in 1968." - Mafia III"

http://www.vice.com/read/we-talked-race-and-politics-with-the-senior-writer-of-mafia-iii

and the piece this interview stemmed from: http://www.vice.com/read/why-mafia-iii-should-tackle-race-head-on

I'm VERY curious about this game. Never played the other Mafia games and haven't seen any actual gameplay, but Austin Walker's coverage of it has kept me very curious to try it for myself to see what the fuck this game is going to be. it could be pretty damn original, or a total mess of misguided ambition.

Watched Giantbomb play the first two hours, gameplay seems rough	Nodima	Oct 07th 2016	12
Rough in what sense, glitches?	Numba_33	Oct 07th 2016	13
No, just a little loose and unpolished compared to GTA or an Ubi game	Nodima	Oct 07th 2016	14
it's a modern open world game. it's going to have glitches	bearfield	Oct 07th 2016	15
sounds like the primary game is pretty repetitive, anyone cop?	Nodima	Oct 10th 2016	16
I scratched the surface	Numba_33	Oct 11th 2016	17
the negatives are beginning to really outweigh the positives here.	Nodima	Oct 19th 2016	18
