which of course gives the game on steam a mostly negative response

meh 😉

30FPS sounds good to me but if they can bump it up even more then that's even better.

Whelp, that's my collectors cancelt, 30 fps lock has no place on pc, there's no excuse for this crap 😣

2K is paying the price now, a 36 % rating on steam, and people refunding left n right

We know how important having options that best suit your PC’s performance capabilities are. The team has been hard at work ensuring that Mafia III’s performance is consistent across all platforms, and right now the game runs at a solid 30 frames-per-second.

We are currently working on an update for PC that will give players the option to play Mafia III at higher framerates. We’ll share more details about the update, and when you can expect it to arrive, very soon. In the meantime, the team welcomes feedback and would like to hear from you about what performance adjustment options are important to you.

We’re actively considering a number of additional post-launch improvements on PC that would give players more control over how they can tailor the game’s experience to suit their rig’s performance. It’s been an incredible journey developing Mafia III and we couldn’t be more excited to get the game in your hands and hear what you think!

More FPS soon... so for me , i leave negative review about 30FPS lock , if they change it , i change my review.

Playing right now hasn't changed my opinion about the game. It's fun. if they bring out the update to uncap the frames even better! 😉 Looking forward to the trainer now.

People need to wake up and get it in their heads most games unfortunately are console ports to pc, and if the developers are not aware they release a title on pc with locked 30 fps 9 times out of 10, and it is not a major problem since they will unlock it as time passes and from what i have read the game has a lot of things to offer.

So get a grip people 30 fps is for a short period of time, and hopefully it will take them 2 - 4 days tops to increase the fps to 60+ wishful thinking i know but 30 fps will not ruin it for me since i know either the developer will get a work around sorted or someone on a forum will find a work around.

Some people may be playing it now but we probably wont get a trainer until sometime tomorrow

When there's a frame cap on a console to PC ported game it is pretty much impossible to just patch, since it is tied with the games physics. You almost have to redo everything in relation to the games physics, movement and possibly the cinematics too.
They simply did not have PC in mind when making this game and changed their minds in favor for as they would say "a broader audience" which usually is the nicer way of saying they'll get more sales and more money.
