something something diversity!!
Because it has a Black protagonist? If the story calls for it, I see no problem tbh. Granted, I too was expecting a continuation with an Italian-American character, but it looks a fun game nevertheless, so I’ll give it a shot.
Pretty much this. If the story and gameplay are on point I don’t see a problem with having a black protagonist. Why are people getting upset over that I will never know.
Maybe because MAFIA was a series set around an Italian mafia setting and storyline and people are disappointed that that’s no longer the case?
But we already got two games based around that period. The central premise of the game is still about Italian mafia only the protagonist is different.
“But we already got two games based around that period.” Then why name it Mafia 3? Consumers of Mafia 1 & 2 logically expect a similar flavor in another entry in the franchise.
And I’m not talking about periods, Mafia 1 and 2 are set in different periods (1930s vs late 40s – early 50s) but the theme is the same: Italian Mafia in America.
It just doesn’t fit, how the hell did a black guy got made into the Italian mafia?? It doesn’t make sense, it’s like casting a white dude in the leading role of Malcom X: just plain retarded.
Clearly you haven’t seen any trailers or gameplay you would know if you had. Here’s wiki http://mafiagame.wikia.com/wiki/Mafia_III read about how he got involved.
Right, he doesn’t get accepted into the Cosa Nostra (thankfully!), he’s just out to destroy them…
So the franchise seems to have shifted from historically epic mob drama to B-grade blaxploitation revenge flick.
I for one i am excited that the game is now open world and not utterly scripted and the combat is not trash.
read my post above.
No because every district has a theme. The black character is nice, he has a nice badas# backstory.
This game is going to make BLM terrorists wet their pants!
Meh, the San Francisco devs will force “racism” in every corner of the story, you can already see it popping up in 2 districts in this trailer.
Statistics show that all the terrorism in this country is committed by white boys… I mean “loners with a mental illness”
and what about muslims? All the terrorism in europe is caused by them.
John can you ban this guy?
Well the main protagonist is never working murdering criminal. It makes sense he is black. He dindu nufin.
So, its pretty much the worst place to live overall.
Mafia II took a visual leap. compared to that this one is not looking that impressive. but the concept is looking really good.
My 2016 list: mafia 3, Deus Ex, Dishonored 2
(Maybe civ 6)
I like how pig skin peckerwoods are crying about a black character. “Wahhhh. Make america white again!!! Diversity = white genocide!!!!”
White SUICIDE = white genocide. White males commit 70% of the 42,000 annual suicides in this country. Maybe whites should go back to the caucasus mountains and make that white again.
the f#???
LOL, what’s with you two?
i clicked all their names they all comment racist stuff about whites and post in a hip hop sites, either trolls or bots.
Black people in Mafia, ok.
Frank Lucas…. just an example.
American Gangster =/= Cosa Nostra “on the books” “made man.”
same stuff, different names.
The Armenian Mob = The American-Italian Mob (Costa Nostra) = Mexican Cartels = Colombian Cartels = Russian Mafia = Italian Mafia = Black Power = Chinese Triads = Japanese Yakuza = etc. = etc. = etc.?
Yeah……. no.
Put it to you another way – why do Prison Movies play the “race” factor so much? Because it matters.
