    This game shows that having the missions start one after another makes the pacing a lot better than when you have to drive to the next mission like in many modern open world games. Also, it shows that having a smaller map in which many of the locations are actually used can be a lot better than having a huge map with a bunch of pointless fluff in it. As a huge fan of the original Mafia and as someone who was extremely disappointed in Mafia 3, I can confidently say I loved this game and think Hangar 13 really pulled it off. I was skeptical about them adding extra scenes/dialogue, but they really pulled it off and in my opinion, made the story even better than in the original.

    • @plainlyretro4680
      @plainlyretro4680 Před rokem +15

      I feel like it kinda makes the story much more fast paced, and some people like me like going and messing arround, getting into gunfights with cops and doing side quest and then instantly being able to do a mission afer, kinda as a break from the story and it helps the game go by slower, i completed it in 2 days and didnt like the fact that i had to quit, go to the main menu and choose free play and was bummed when i finished it in such a short time and there wasnt any more content afterwards

      @@plainlyretro4680 Same! You can literally do nothing besides the story. Yeah, some collectable stuff but good luck finding it. Its not on the map. You cant interact with shit. Not even enter the tram or the metro. Cant even get on the plattform. Sure, Mafia 3 was filled with filler content but the gun fighting was way better, as well as stealth combat. All of those are really boring and/or bad in this game (for the reasons mentioned in the video).

      Incorrect, Henry Ford named the automobile the “ford model T” because it was the newly made model that came after the ford model S.
      Production began in 1903 when ford model A was introduced, followed by a ford model B and a ford model C. Later in the late twenties and early thirties, henry started the alphabet again with the new and improvised ford model A to show that it did not have a connection with the model T.

      @@yoggsoft Only in the early version where you couldn't change the difficulty. In later versions they introduced ability to chose a difficulty before race (many took easy, when there was even very easy), but they also fixed the shortcut. I liked the original game, as flawed it was. All the difficulty that the game mechanics of that time introduced made it enjoyable. You had to take cover. Had to be mindful about the bullets. If you shot someone in the head with a pistol, you needed 3 bullets. It was difficult, but fun. This one seems like a version for children.

    I love the fact that the game allows you to skip unnecessary driving sections. I drove for the first 3-4 missions, and that’s it. It’s a setting in the menus that let’s you turn off unimportant car trips. That’s one thing that annoyed me about GTA V, you’d drive to a location to trigger a mission, then have to drive to where you came from to actually do the mission!

It's because I played it in high school and it was just as I was gaining momentum, getting better at the game, and truly enjoying it... Just completed it now! Looks like they added difficulty levels before the race that you could change. I put it on the easiest! lol. So now I feel pretty great about Mafia, although I hate how that level ruined it. Otherwise, it's a great game... About to buy the Definitive Edition, here we go again with the racing level...

You could get mods for the Mafia 1, to have bodyguards, drive around and do your own missions, like a real Mafia Boss. Eliminate opponents, challenges, that was the absolute high in 2002/3. So, even though I love the new graphics and effects here, it's a bit of a lost opportunity. I very much hope, mods will be possible at least !

    You kind of hit the nail on the head with this honest review. I'm no longer into gaming so I don't really know what a modern game is supposed to be like, but the part with the linear story and missions is spot-on - indeed, not many options of how to complete a mission or what missions to pick.
    This game has great nostalgia value, but for newcomers, it might feel a bit dated. I would add that developers missed the opportunity to add some new and cool epoch weapons to the game, such as a BAR/Colt Monitor machine rifle, Browning Auto 5 self-loading shotgun, and maybe a Remington Model 8 autoloading police rifle with extended mag, to spice things up and offer more options for different tactical situations. Shooting down a plane with a Tommy gun is totally unrealistic because of the low range and poor penetration of the weapon, known in the Public Enemy era for not being able to punch through a car door, but a 30-06 BAR could get the job done.

    I've never played a Mafia game, but I picked this up recently at a game store that had a sale going on cause I've always heard of the Mafia games and was curious, and it has definitely been a refreshing gaming experience, modern graphics but has that old game feel to it, really neat.
    Also enjoying the story so far, I feel bad for poor ol' Ralph, especially as I've also got a stutter lol

    The game blew my mind when I first played it, but I hated the racing mission, got stuck for so long there. I hope it's better in this one.

    This game is fantastic and the story is top notch. I never had a chance to play the Mafia games back in the day and Mafia 1 pleasantly surprised me. Running through 2 now and enjoying it just as much.

    I just bought the Mafia pack on steam for $9.99 It came with the originals and their remakes. I remember the original 2 as a kid, never played the 3rd. I'm in the process of beating the first remake then onto the second. Finally the 3rd definitive edition.

    The two things I remember about the original. 1) the cab driver mission. 2) that race car mission.

    Can you explore the mission areas in freeroam? A lot of the best graphics and most detailed areas in Mafia were in the alleys and interiors you only got to visit in missions, at all other times (including other missions) they were blocked off.

      XxHeisenburn Intell masterpiece is a stretch, but I agree that 2 is the best. The games all have great soundtracks that kept me in the vehicles longer than I expected to be.

    Played on PS4 for the first time and this game is amazing. The atmosphere and characters are all so wonderfully done, plus the game is absolutely gorgeous.
