Always been a fan of the the Mafia series. This should be a good sub for me for now since Watch_Dogs Legion is delayed.

I’m on the edge of my seat since the announcement. Mafia 1 is my top favorite game ever, even after sitting down and making a really serious list. The reason must be some nostalgia, as well. I think the first one has such a fantastically delivered story that I haven’t found anything close. Maybe Firewatch, Witcher 3  or Red Dead redemption could be close.

I have to tone down my expectations every so often, to avoid disappointment. Even though I already know shouldn’t expect the same experience again.

The only real danger here is them making it too arcade-esque and repetitive. That’s what made Mafia 2 and 3 not as good as the original.

On the other hand though, sticking to strict to a storyline also made the game too rigid. For instance Mafia 1 it almost never made sense to reuse a car for another mission, you’ll always get a newer one that had the specs to even complete the mission.

I never played Mafia in the day, I’d be pumped to give this a shot. I do wonder how they’ve aged and how different it is to GTA III released at a similar time. Open world 3D was still finding its feet.

GTA III 

Very, very different. GTA III you would be fine just messing around and just feel like it, start a mission to progress the timeline. Mafia without the gameplay watches like a cinematic film.

But is that a good thing? The Getaway boasted a similar approach I think. What it meant was gameplay that was far worse than GTA III (in and out of missions) even if the cutscenes were pretty good.

I gotta get around to finishing that game some time.

What was that, a Lassiter V16 or something like that?

No, in-game name is Smith V12, it’s brand new. In Mafia 2-era, Smith is used for Ford c ars usually.
