That's totally shipped
Good. That means more Mafia in the future.
Isn't GTA a 2k published game?

Ah right. And take two is the parent companyRockstar. They're are their own thing in T2. Separate from 2K.
Gameplay is way better than the other two Mafia games though, (repetition aside I mean things like movement, shooting, melee, driving, etc.).
I don't like this trend at all.I guess no review copy did the trick.
Expecting more publishers to follow.
The game sold-in 4.5 million copies in its first week, the company said. (Sold-in is the industry term for the amount of units sold to retailers.)

Nah GTA is from Rockstar but they and 2k are a part of Take two interactive.Isn't GTA a 2k published game?
I would definitely go back and play Mafia II, doesn't hold a candle on Mafia 3's core gameplay mechanics. You have a point with the bugs, they need to work on that engine ASAP if they even wanna think about making a sequel.I guess I should have said gameplay structure as that's really what I meant, but I also disagree about the driving and movement, though it's been a loooong time since I played Mafia II. It just felt better in my memory. But the repetitive structure with lots of padding, and the in-game presentation (graphics and bugs) is nowhere near the quality of the story and cutscene quality.
That's insane. Steamspy is pegging it at 350k for the PC version and I didn't expect such a discrepancy.
Black protag sells games.

Wait what? I thought we all agreed the game sold like shit. And I even like it!
Just fwiw the quote in the OP changed 'sold-in' to 'sold'. Original line with parenthesis from the WP:
Just incase people don't actually click the link
Sounds like that disgruntled 2K employee was way off the mark (they said sub 1m sales to date and it needed like 8m to break even IIRC). Congrats to the devs and all but this is just going to reinforce the notion that no early review copies are good for business and that's not great for us in the long run.

Mate, I just copied and pasted the quote directly from WP's page. I didn't edit it beyond adding quote marks.
Oh shit that's unexpected, could've sworn there was a dev that said pretty much the opposite, (less than a million as of a couple weeks ago).
Good news for the franchise if true, I would definitely be down for another helping of the black mafia life, (maybe don't kill a shit ton of the cast at the beginning this time?)
