How was Mafia 3 on the XB1X? Such a fuckup was made of the remaster it's hard to get a feel for the current state of the game.

I started Mafia 3 last night - bloody hell, what a great opening! I was instantly grabbed by the characters and - oof - that is some betrayal. Great set-up - now onto the open world busywork! I'm playing on PS4 Pro and it doesn't feel totally smooth. I tried the Mafia 3 demo on my XSX and it feels a bit nicer, but I did some research and apparently there are some unresolved audio and crash bugs that on Xbox, so I'll probably stick with PS4. @Mr. Gerbik - have you tried Mafia 3 on your PS5 by any chance? I may hold off if it's noticeably smoother. The short load times on

Phew, I almost bought that yesterday! So it's worse than the original release then? Real shame they went the remaster route rather than backwards compatibility.

I feel like Tom Holland will look 14 years old forever though.

Wreckfest really needs its 30fps cap removed!

Yeah I got the same. 40p worth of reward points for a £450 console! Still, it all adds up. Reckon I’m on track to fully buy Hitman 3 with points on Jan 20.

Wasn't Leadbetter at Digital Foundry using Just Cause 4 to highlight how awesome backwards compatibility is because it made a previously unplayable game really good? Or maybe it was JC3.

I literally just got it refunded from Microsoft, citing the save game issue. I'll buy it again in the current sale!

Quick Resume (combined with rapid initial load if it doesn't work) has already changed how I play games, in that I'm happy to flip between three games in an evening rather than sticking to just the one. It's hard to overstate how much better it is not having to tap through several splash screens and confirmation dialogs before getting into a game, and also being dropped in exactly where you left off. Not teleported back to some hub, or the beginning of a checkpoint. For me, it is literally a game-changer.

Plenty of online games handle that gracefully e.g Forza Horizon 4 and The Division 2 just let you carry on solo and will attempt to seamlessly get you connected again.

I watched the Cad Bane '2-parter' from the end of season 1/start of season 2 and according to the chronology they are two completely different stories, and 'part 1' comes much later. I honestly didn't notice when I was watching. I do fall asleep quite a lot in them though.

Bloody hell the broadcast order is a mess! I'm halfway through S2 and I can't say I've noticed any jumping about.

Don't be worried, the second half is even better @Timmo!

No, I didn't get anything. Bit annoying.

Just let it go! I think it’s bugged anyway which is why they allow the achievement to pop before you get them all.
