The ironic thing about Vito killing Tommy is that they were in very similar situations. Both had gone against their families rules and Vito taking out Tommy was essentially the cycle continuing.
@@aetius7139 It really doesn't matter. That doesn't make Tommy any less of a man than Vito. That whole concept is overrated in the world of the Mafia and we see how far it ultimately gets them in the end. Vito was never out in a position where he would even have to rat. He was given a way out by Leo galante and he took it. Either rwys they don't have loyalty to their respective crime families in the end and do something to betray them.
Tommy rated out his Mafia family to save his actural family. Vito started a war with the Chinese mob, killed a member on the Commission and vowed for a rat. They are not the same.
@@aetius7139 I dare say that what Vito did was even worse than what Tommy did by the mafia standards - he killed his own Don just to protect himself without a real previous provocation. Carlo may have been willing to give Joe a pass because he protected him a year before from Rocco’s crew, but he might just have been willing to do the same for Vito. Carlo is no fool and he knows that Joe and Vito are valuable assets.
It's okay it's implied he didn't actually die then and they just told Vito he did to split the pair up as they'd always be more loyal to each other than the family.
I think Henry's killing was one of the most brutal i've seen in a video game. Not necessarily the graphical violence (too) but the screaming and shock about his death. This game is great I love the story, soundtrack and atmosphere of it alot .
It's the "What the fuck are they hittin' him with?" from Joe In any other circumstance, you'd see them swinging with meat cleavers and be like "Eh. Chinese gang shit. It's just a video game." But Joe specifically bringing it up breaks the illusion of it just being a video game and draws attention to the fact that this is a man being hacked apart by four people with meat cleavers.
Not only that but the way we are shown it, it would’ve been different if we were right over him or looking just at his face when he was stabbed, we saw it from Vito and Joes POV so you’re left wondering “Who’s yelling? ITS HENRY HES GETTING STABBED OMG!!!”
Lmfao bro I’ve seen people get shot and die in front of me growing up but this was the first and only time in my entire childhood something in a movie or video game made me pause it and just say “holy shit what the fuck just happened”
@@Shystyman i felt bad for Henry at first because he sounded like he was suffering too, it’s still an amazing game but some of the deaths in this series are excessively brutal
i think the moral lesson of mafia 2 is that no matter how good your life will become in this line of work, at the end, its always ends in faliure. notice how everytime vito reaches a satisfying state in his life, it all crumbles. you don't know who will help you and who will stab you. in luca gurino's words, "the benefits far outweighs the cost". but in this life, the cost outweighs the benefits too much. sure you can earn money and be respected, but you could lose your family, friends, and even some humanity just like we see vito in the latter chapters of the game.
And Vito ends up getting more colder, I mean, look what he did to Greco in Mafia 3, I don't think he would done that in Mafia 2, not even to his worst enemies.
I think the events in Mafia 2 made Vito colder when it comes to killing people. But for some reason, if you leave him in charge of the Mafia in 3, he doesn't become corrupted by money or power. In a sick way, Vito is morally incorruptible and, in fact, expands Lincoln Clay's empire in the south using it to do good rather then evil.
Less outweighs and more fluctuates. Yesterday you were the best man for the job, today you celebrate a job well done, tomorrow you are another loose end.
The Mafia games, especially Mafia II, understand what underlines the best gangster films, and that they are explorations of the 'American Dream', and what people that are denied any hope of achieving it are willing to do to get it.
These are middle aged white men. Lets not act like they are just THAT unable. They just dont want to do the honest labor and want easy way to success. They arent really “denied” anything
In a way i felt like it was history repeating itself. At the end of Mafia 2 not only did Vito realize that his Dad really tried but that it wasn't his fault. In his effort to provide with a life of crime he pushed his remaining family away abandoning them like his dad did
I think Vito’s problem was that he was naive and glamorised a life he never should’ve stepped in. Power corrupts, and in the mob business, many people lose just about everything and their humanity just for power and greed and eventually resort to sacrifice whatever they need for self-gain. However Vito is an exception for the most part as while he is a quite materialistic individual who indulges in his ill-gotten wealth, he’s very much human and became drunk on power as it made him feel like a somebody, a person with power. However I don’t think that was Vito’s intention, I think he just wanted a better life for himself and his loved ones, but on the way lost them. Vito only began to care about power when he realised he could have everything he ever wanted through it, and it’s when he had gotten very deep into the mob by working for Eddie and Carlo. As for Joe and Carlo I think it ultimately comes down to Joe saving Carlo and Eddie by killing Rocco a year prior, and Carlo was now willing to let Joe take Rocco’s place by proving his loyalty. Joe probably realised that Rocco was right about Carlo’s plans and how it could get many people killed so he turned on him
There is one thing about this comment that I need to talk about. Power doesn’t corrupt, power brings out the truth in people, it heightens the traits of the individual. The truth is Vito never was a good person, he was in petty crime and then he got in to organized crime and as he got more power his actions became larger even tho he never held any actual power. “Any man can withstand adversity, if you want to really test their character, give them power.” -Abraham Lincoln (And in case anyone is about to bring up the Stanford’s prison experiment all the students in that had records of bullying and abuse before hand
It's like what Tommy said, the guy who wants too much risks losing everything and the guy who wants too little might not get anything at all, that's why a balance is important. In my opinion, Vito wanted too much and lost everything Lincoln wanted too little, he was more interested in revenge Tommy kept a balance of things In the end though, no one won.
Well technically Tommy did, he lived the highlife almost became mob boss and had a family grew old and almost died in his death bed a complete man, except he wa killed but only him and not his family so technically he won
man im so glad you decided to make a mafia video, just finished mafia 3 and im so glad i decided to give all 3 games a try. wonderful trilogy and needs to be talked about more.
@@Jalen_wilki i enjoyed mafia 2 the most definitely, 1 is second for me and 3 kinda goes away from the whole mafia storyline kinda but the story is still good. a lot the gameplay missions are very repetitive though which made it boring quick but the story made up for it a bit.
Vito is the Gat of saints row, the clementine of walking dead, the Ellie from last of us, Morgan of Read Dead, Max Payne of Max Payne, Chris of resident evil, Thats how important he is to the mafia stories it’s not only his story but he is involved in other ones too, he has appeared in all three games and has a lot of screen time through the series! The face and fan favorite of the whole franchise but even if I like Vito I think he was not as smart as Tommy plz don’t get me wrong but Tommy gained what he wanted for a bit while Vito only suffered, for listening too much people around him while Tommy had more a free will and own thinking and own actions and he saved his real “Family” and Vito failed that aspect but it’s not all Vito’ fault but you know what I mean.
Also like most of the examples mentioned, he started off as a victim of circumstance and eventually let it determine his outcome and we as the player are left to decide how much "better" they could have adapted to the situation. Were there better ways? Definitely. Could we have done better in their shoes? Maybe so, maybe not. That's exactly what makes the "tragic protagonist" so alluring.
I think the main contrast between Tommy and Vito is that Tommy had a conscience the whole way through his story. He was an honest working man before he met Sam and Paulie, and despite his growing ruthlessness, loyalty and efficiency as a mobster, Tommy always had hints of remorse, mercy, etc. Vito by contrast is a born crook (I think mainly by Joe's influence really). He's willing to do *anything* to get ahead, without question, hesitance or change to the plan. And being a paratrooper in the war only made him more efficient as a mobster. He was young, hungry, capable and just managed to tread the line between being smart enough to get most jobs done with only a few hitches, and just dumb enough to not see how the top echelon guys were just using him for their gains alone
Actually Joe is alive he was Leo's driver at the end of the game. The truth is that Joe was speared and was now working for Frank Vinchi because he was short on men after the war with the triads. And the deal with Vito to be exiled is so that both men would be separated because they cause to much trouble when together
I bought this game at 12 years old … pre ordered it from GameStop … when I say STILL to this day.. mafia 2 has the best Intro in modern game history… Vitos soliloquy was so relatable
One little fix, Vito and Joe wasn’t supposed to help Eddie with the body, Eddie was supposed to get rid of it himself but forgot because I guess in the life you kinda forget you got a stiff in the trunk
Vito and Niko would definitely get along. These two suffered so much to gain everything they earned in their lives but sacrificed too much because life dealt them with a bad card.
The difference was that Niko didnt want the massive amounts of money, he was driven by safety for roman, something he coudnt give to other close people in his past and getting revenge, and thats why he escaped the crime business unlike Vito
49:28 "Good guy, but drank like a fish." I just realized that this might not have been a reference to Vito's father being an alcoholic. It's a reference to him being drowned by Derek.
To be honest, while I don't approve Vito's lifestyle, I understand why he find it appealing. He saw first hand how tragic an honest lifestyle can end with his father's fate. The honest jobs in his situation (no degrees, no experience) are far too miserable to take a liking. The context definitely wasn't in his side. I'm sure the character of Vito is the embodiment of many real life mafia members at that time period.
Him and Joe also didn't have much people to look up to, only people with a bit of money they saw were the wise guys around the neighborhood. So I can see why they wanted that life
Not a big fan of Mafia 3 I could never finish it because it was so damn repetitive if they cut half the shit that's repetitious. And focused more on the story it could've been perfect. But I love the game itself just can't keep my attention to finish it.
Every time I play through this trilogy I always feel a bit sad when I get to 3 because while I feel the need to finish it for the sake of completionism I know I'm in for a grindy tedious few hours but the story is still good. It's hard to know If the gameplay loop is worth it sometimes though.
@@pyroAdaptMafia 3 makes the tragic mistake of concealing some of the lore within the gameplay, and then putting tiny font to give the characters we are either recruiting or killing a semblance of a life. Depending on who you kill, you can make Lincoln look like a straight-up Cold War Sociopathic Ptsd riddled Veteran. Or you can make him just about the money, not the killing. Myself, I like to try and do things non-lethally, until Frisco fields and the DLC of course.
Vito is an interesting character and he used to be my favorite protagonist in this mafia Trilogy. However after analyzing the story for the mafia remake and mafia 2, I’ve realized that Vito is a failure. Vito kept on ignoring the wisdom of his mother and he even pushed away the rest of his family. Yeah sure in one of the endings for the 3rd game he could be the Don but still he’s alone. Even he admitted that he gave up everything for “the life”. Tommy on the other hand is done with that life and he’s surrounded by people he loved in the end. Plus the Angelo family is free.
Hardly. Tommy came from nothing, gained a lot, gave it up to protect the ones he cared about, and it still caught up to him. Success is subjective, but Tommy always looked over his shoulder until he died.
@@tonycordero6105 obviously, looking over his shoulder was a consequence of his evil decisions(plus he expected it) but my point is that still Tommy got away from that evil life. If he continued down that road then his family would’ve been killed as well. That’s what I meant by the Angelo family being free. The Angelo family can live in peace now.
@@tonycordero6105 also notice that Vito is alone as a Don. Similar to Michael Corleone in the end. Yeah sure as a mafia boss he’s doing well but in his personal life he is a failure.
I always loved that this game shows Vito and his family immigrating for the American Dream, when that promise is broken it shows what Vito is willing to do to fulfill it anyway.
Vito didn't have the agency to be a protagonist. Sure, he had the drive, the skills, the motivation to put in moves, but every single thing ever did was an order or an idea introduced by someone else. Started his life of crime because of Joe, followed orders from military brass, then listened to Joe about getting into the mafia. Then he's locked away and falls in with Leo who doesn't give him a choice anyway. Then Joe again. All the missions just happen at him and he obeys, all the while he keeps talking big game about taking charge of his own life. He never does. Vito is a victim.
Vito wasn’t a antagonist he was a antihero and it shows in a lot of his qualities he the definition of a mafia pawn but still cared for friends/grey morals they give the excuse tommy ratted for family but he inevitably is still a rat and gave vince and ralph time along wit salieri and lincoln was the jack of all trades of both combat wise, intelligence wise, and morals wise money hungry, ruled by revenge and love of family, while also wanting to move up and rule the city and control it also lincoln makes the smartest decision based on the player choosing to go on the run never seen never cooperated and can also rule with a iron fist like the don
Antagonist doesn't mean bad guy it means the guy who goes against the goals of the Protagonist as such Vito was a Protagonist he is also a bad guy those two ain't mutually exclusive.
A game that could have been much more. It still holds up, which does show its value with every year it ages on. As for Vito, i find him to be a great character. I personally connected with him at some point because of struggle i endured in real life: was fed up with low paying job and not being able to buy anything costly, being poor and just living from day to day and not knowing where my place in the world really is. But with the help of few friends, i managed to get on my own again, and continued with normal and satisfying life to this day, which didnt happend to Vito unfortunately, even with Joe by his side at the end. I really miss characters being written tragically without really a happy ending, just a plain grey or completely sad ending. Anyway, cheers for video dude
Joe isn't dead, he is seen in Mafia 3 driving for Leo when Lincoln meets him, They just split Joe and Vito up to avoid any more trouble they might have caused
this is a horrendously bad take, he did not give up his family for power, helped his sister with her abusive partner, helped her with costs of their mothers funeral, helped avenge henrys death by literally whiping out a entire sub section of the chinese mafia, helped joe all the time. gets genuinely hurt and upset with joes dissappearance.
@@billymays__2839 henry was a rat. Vouching for his “friend”, who he barely knew, cost him everything and by avenging him he caused a war. Making his situation even worse. With that same situation possibly causing the commission to believe joe and vito were too dangerous together. Hence permanently separating them under the belief the other was dead. His sister disowned him for beating her husband and threatening to kill him. Was he wrong? Hell no. But the action still terrified his sister and pushed her away.
@@CynicGTA Henry was a rat who befriended them and actually had a friendship even though he was a agent, he didnt want them in prison after their bonding, they knew each other for a while, theres a time skip in the game if your unaware, caused a war out of loyalty to family, vito beat his siters abuser out of loyalty to his family, there is literally a scene with joe where he has a chance to betray vito but out of loyalty with his family being vito he doesint which both would do easily for each other. you read this game horrendously wrong
@@billymays__2839 i think the same can be said for you about reading the game wrong. Mentioning the time skip is irrelevant. The point i was making was Vito had no genuine ties to Henry really after he went to prison. The closest he got to him was when they were waiting in the apartment on the hit for Clemente. After that theres no mention of Vito or Joe seeing henry again until they went to takeout clemente. Vito was loyal, yes. But the whole point was if you look at vito’s actions his loyalty to certain people directly caused his problems. Hence how he lost his family. Im not questioning his loyalty or authentic feelings for henry, joe, leo, or his sister. Warning Leo would cause problems with Falcone had he known Vito stepped in. (Regardless the action of getting rid of leo would get him on Vinci’s shit list since the information Henry brought to Eddie would cause them to target Leo.) no matter how you look at Leo’s situation it was because of Vito in some way shape or form. His loyalty to Henry would also cause issues with everyone. From vouching for a rat to starting a war. Starting the war would lead to the commission viewing vito and joe as a problem together, but separately they had their uses. Leo was loyal to Vito, but all that got him was exiled working for another family he had no respect for. In the end Vito had push and pull moments. He’d push to do what he could to establish himself as successful since he never wanted to experience poverty again. But hed pull back and put himself in a difficult position when people he cared for were the targets. And that caused him to be alone without anyone he loved by his side
Yet due to his actions he didnt get to see his mom pass because he was in jail, while i think his sister was stupid for getting mad at Vito for setting her husband straight. In her eyes her brother has repeatedly made bad decisions after bad decisions all out of resentment for his dad and chasing the life of the mob. Hell even in Mafia 3 if you leave everything to Vito he is alone in his penthouse no family and no friends
@@CynicGTA I find it out odd that you believe that henry is a rat there is no proof provided that he is a rat much less a government informant. This game gives no evidence to say he is one
I was about 15 when this game came out and Henry's death always stuck with me. Abrupt, brutal and one of the very few times in a game where at that moment, I could psychically feel the need/want to get revenge.
I was about 10 when Mafia 2 came out and I can say for me as a 25yr old man Marty's death fucked me up cause he was just a kid. Same as Henry but Henry got it the worse way. This game impacted my childhood on the look of the mob life since watching the godfather and playing the godfather games. Not everyone is gonna have the luxury life of being a "Made Man" it comes with consequences.💯💯
The fuel stamp mission in Mafia 2 is mildly infuriating cause of the sudden difficulty spike and time crunch once you get the stamps and return with them, not to mention the fuel station's were all over the city, plus sometimes your car will randomly respawn back at your garage.
I wish they put just a little more emphasis on his training and time in the army, he wasn't just any soldier but a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne, based on the timeline of when he was deployed and when he came home, Vito would have been living through the entirety of a Call of Duty campaign in the few years between the flashback and when he returns to Empire Bay. The man jumped into Sicily, probably Italy proper, Normandy, Holland, and eventually got shot during the Battle of the Bulge... as far as paratroopers were concerned, this guy fought through pretty much the entire war. And when I say "fought" I mean fought, not just moved around Europe in giant convoys, shifting from guard post to guard post, as a paratrooper he would have spent most if not all of his times near, or behind, the enemy front lines. There was no such thing as an "easy war" for the 82nd. Idk, I just feel like it would have been cool if, say for example in Prison when we're introduced to the boxing mechanics, we got a little flashback of Vito doing hand to hand combat training with the 82nd, or maybe during a particularly brutal firefight he'll start hearing voices or calling out to people that aren't there, idk something to show that he wasn't just "a soldier for a couple years" but was actually taking part in some of the most intense combat in the war. Actively. I get why they focused on only Sicily for the flashback mission, and especially for a game in 2010, I get why they didn't want to dwell on the flashbacks and make Mafia 2 end up feeling like "yet another WW2 game" - perhaps they left his backstory blank so we could self-insert from all the other WW2 games that were on the market in 2010, either way, this is just one in a long list of examples I have where this game just felt... incomplete, rushed... Which of course, it was, rather famously. Mafia 2 is a shell of the game it was meant to be.
if it wasn’t for Henry none of that would’ve happened not sure why Vito agreed it was a terrible idea the only other way I’d see Vito getting into trouble with breaking the rules would be when he killed Derek and Steve
Not to mention Joe should have been offed, but the new staff for Mafia 3 kept him alive because of fan service instead of keeping it real story wise so this way Mafia 2’s ending (and story overall) would continue to have a lasting impact on the audience.
Again thank you so much for the generosity. Ironic with your name lol. Im glad youre loving the direction of the channel as well. If theres anything you want seen or covered, im all ears!
for 29:48 you can escape with leo through the window and then henry doesn't know that vito was involved so its kind of depending on the player on if he gets caught or not
I think Tommy reluctantly began a life of crime, staying in the game because he saw the perks of being made. Vito jumped into a life of crime headfirst, aspiring to become the biggest gangster in Empire Bay. He gave up his family for a life of crime. Yet at the end of the game, he lost the one thing he had at the beginning of the game that he threw it all away for: his friendship with Joe.
Imagine, Vito don't kill Tommy and let's him be his mentor in the mafia. That would be nice. Tommy teaches way of Mafia in classic way to Vito and Joe. They all did everything both good and bad for their families. Yeah, sometimes they moved against but in the end, all of them did everything for their family.
@@SuperPeanutlover78 - Well, I meant that for also if Tommy never betrayed Salieri and like Frank said to Tom in the car, he could become a Don of Lost Heaven. Imagine Tommy becomes Don and never does the Bank job with Paulie that lead them to have troubles. All 3 of them live their life and still be friends. Salieri after betraying his own family because of sugar powder business, gets killed by the Comission. Years later Tom lives his normal life and meets with Vito and Joe. Then he becomes their mentor.
I still feel like there was more room for storyline in this game. I could've seen at least two more missions while Vito was out on bond before he got sentenced to prison. In place of the "Good Times Roll" montage after he & Joe get made, we could've had another 4 chapters centering around the two as newly button men working their way up the ranks of the mob with the goal of making the rank Capo Regimes as well as the rivalry heating up between Clemente & Falcone Families leading us to "Room Service", the final nail in the coffin. Then maybe two more chapters before "A Friend Of Ours". (I wanted to do more with Vito as a made man prior to his house getting burned down and confrontation with the Irish. Then after Henry gets them involved in the drug business, I woulda liked to do Drug Dealing missions instead of another montage followed by Henry's death and the war with the Triads: there was room for at least one or two more chapters in that sequence then the final chapter but split up into 5 parts where you as Vito have to make a choice on who to kill and ultimately saving Joe's life. They shouldn't have cut a thing. If anything, the game needed more.
Historical figure he was the head of the Sicilian mob during the war he essentially made a deal with the American government and the allies with lucky Luciano to have the mob assist the landing in Sicily
i REALLY wish there was a DLC for each character you help and get assistance from in Mafia 3 about their backgrounds. especially for Vito, his being much more in-debth and direct then the others. specifically so that Vito could get the help of Lincoln as well as the CIA dude to find out what happened to Joe and track him down, be he dead and burried or alive and well. seriously, that would have been AWESOME! Joe deserved better, and i wish we could have learned what happene to him in Mafia 3.
Joe should have been offed so this way, Mafia 2’s ending continues to have a lasting impact on the audience and move on. You have a crush on Joe. How does he deserve better after what he caused in Chinatown and the results afterward? The Mafia franchise is now officially Playhouse Disney.
Dude, I think I spent a week on that race with the classic version. Slowly I figured out a way to win by playing dirty at the very start, and then you can't make one mistake for the rest of the run. Heard they lowered the difficulty on that one later, but winning that race for me was like winning the lottery when I finally managed it.
I refuse to believe Henry is a rat there is no proof that he is one and considering that all of the made men in the series except Leo has lied to Vito I find it hard to believe that these guys who constantly lied and jerked around Vito and Joe from the start are telling the truth
Mafia 2 is a master piece in my opinion and there was a lot off cut content this game could have been one off the greatest of altime if it wasn't rushed
i wont lie its hitting me so hard back then to see joe as not part of the plan in the ending, its also bit frustrating to see henry butchered in board daylight because i refuse to believe he is a rat

That 10 Minute intro sequence in Mafia 2 Immediately made me relate and Feel for Vito. To some extent I could understand his mindset.
He works well in contrast with Joe too. We all know a "Joe", who is such a hothead that we constantly need to be the voice of reason
The Mafia games, especially Mafia II, understand what underlines the best gangster films, and that they are explorations of the 'American Dream', and what people that are denied any hope of achieving it are willing to do to get it.
These are middle aged white men. Lets not act like they are just THAT unable. They just dont want to do the honest labor and want easy way to success. They arent really “denied” anything

Joe probably realised that Rocco was right about Carlo’s plans and how it could get many people killed so he turned on him
There is one thing about this comment that I need to talk about. Power doesn’t corrupt, power brings out the truth in people, it heightens the traits of the individual. The truth is Vito never was a good person, he was in petty crime and then he got in to organized crime and as he got more power his actions became larger even tho he never held any actual power. “Any man can withstand adversity, if you want to really test their character, give them power.” -Abraham Lincoln
(And in case anyone is about to bring up the Stanford’s prison experiment all the students in that had records of bullying and abuse before hand
It's like what Tommy said, the guy who wants too much risks losing everything and the guy who wants too little might not get anything at all, that's why a balance is important.
In my opinion, Vito wanted too much and lost everything
Lincoln wanted too little, he was more interested in revenge
Tommy kept a balance of things
In the end though, no one won.
Well technically Tommy did, he lived the highlife almost became mob boss and had a family grew old and almost died in his death bed a complete man, except he wa killed but only him and not his family so technically he won
man im so glad you decided to make a mafia video, just finished mafia 3 and im so glad i decided to give all 3 games a try. wonderful trilogy and needs to be talked about more.
To be honest, I didn't really liked 3. I think 1 was probably the best in terms of story. I really loved mafia 2 though, I think it beats them both.
@@Jalen_wilki i enjoyed mafia 2 the most definitely, 1 is second for me and 3 kinda goes away from the whole mafia storyline kinda but the story is still good. a lot the gameplay missions are very repetitive though which made it boring quick but the story made up for it a bit.
@sshiloo yeah i think it had a really cool thing going for it and i actually still enjoyed it, just not as much as 2
51:30 Leo being cross-eyed will always kill me. I thought it was just my game buggin. lmaooo
Yeah, it's one of the bugs introduced by the Definitive Edition. There is a mod to fix it on PC. His eyes were fine in the original 2010 release.
@@jigendaisuke8962defective edition*
you put thE wrong timE bro
"Uh. Leo. I'm sitting over here…"
That’s why the OG Xbox 360 version is better.
Vito is the Gat of saints row, the clementine of walking dead, the Ellie from last of us, Morgan of Read Dead, Max Payne of Max Payne, Chris of resident evil, Thats how important he is to the mafia stories it’s not only his story but he is involved in other ones too, he has appeared in all three games and has a lot of screen time through the series! The face and fan favorite of the whole franchise but even if I like Vito I think he was not as smart as Tommy plz don’t get me wrong but Tommy gained what he wanted for a bit while Vito only suffered, for listening too much people around him while Tommy had more a free will and own thinking and own actions and he saved his real “Family” and Vito failed that aspect but it’s not all Vito’ fault but you know what I mean.
Also like most of the examples mentioned, he started off as a victim of circumstance and eventually let it determine his outcome and we as the player are left to decide how much "better" they could have adapted to the situation.
Were there better ways? Definitely.
Could we have done better in their shoes? Maybe so, maybe not.
That's exactly what makes the "tragic protagonist" so alluring.
I think the main contrast between Tommy and Vito is that Tommy had a conscience the whole way through his story. He was an honest working man before he met Sam and Paulie, and despite his growing ruthlessness, loyalty and efficiency as a mobster, Tommy always had hints of remorse, mercy, etc.
Vito by contrast is a born crook (I think mainly by Joe's influence really). He's willing to do *anything* to get ahead, without question, hesitance or change to the plan. And being a paratrooper in the war only made him more efficient as a mobster. He was young, hungry, capable and just managed to tread the line between being smart enough to get most jobs done with only a few hitches, and just dumb enough to not see how the top echelon guys were just using him for their gains alone
I wouldn't say johnny
Wouldn't he be the John of Red Dead
@@davidboi6609Jack
I love the detail of little Vito covering his ears on the ship
So Vito parallels Tommy in that sense. I never knew but nice to know.
Actually Joe is alive he was Leo's driver at the end of the game. The truth is that Joe was speared and was now working for Frank Vinchi because he was short on men after the war with the triads. And the deal with Vito to be exiled is so that both men would be separated because they cause to much trouble when together
I believe that will be covered when he does Mafia 3
That's not Joe 😂 Joe is sleeping with the fishes
Was that a dad joke? Shhh was terrible
Not gonna lie they are an unstoppable duo. But joe is way to reliant on brawns. Which in turn got them into bigger trouble.
@@ll_leonardo_ll So? Joe should have been offed. Point blank. The Mafia franchise has now officially turned into Disneyland as a result.
Fun fact: vito is rhe reason i learned to make bucerini and know what it is in rhe fjrst place lol
you mean bucatini?
@@LucaniaTheGreathis mother had a killer recipe
Just don't try Vito's fucking gumbo.
Just don't ever try Vito's disgusting fu*king gumbo.
I bought this game at 12 years old … pre ordered it from GameStop … when I say STILL to this day.. mafia 2 has the best Intro in modern game history… Vitos soliloquy was so relatable
One little fix, Vito and Joe wasn’t supposed to help Eddie with the body, Eddie was supposed to get rid of it himself but forgot because I guess in the life you kinda forget you got a stiff in the trunk
Vito and Niko would definitely get along. These two suffered so much to gain everything they earned in their lives but sacrificed too much because life dealt them with a bad card.
The difference was that Niko didnt want the massive amounts of money, he was driven by safety for roman, something he coudnt give to other close people in his past and getting revenge, and thats why he escaped the crime business unlike Vito
Very well made video! Till this day Henry's death has been seared into my memory, very disturbing moment and way to go.
49:28 "Good guy, but drank like a fish."
I just realized that this might not have been a reference to Vito's father being an alcoholic. It's a reference to him being drowned by Derek.
could be both
- Right, Steve? - Sure, Derek.
The score for this game was GOD TIER, right up there with the likes of Hans Zimmer's The Dark Knight
To be honest, while I don't approve Vito's lifestyle, I understand why he find it appealing.
He saw first hand how tragic an honest lifestyle can end with his father's fate. The honest jobs in his situation (no degrees, no experience) are far too miserable to take a liking.
The context definitely wasn't in his side. I'm sure the character of Vito is the embodiment of many real life mafia members at that time period.
Him and Joe also didn't have much people to look up to, only people with a bit of money they saw were the wise guys around the neighborhood. So I can see why they wanted that life
You can say that Vito lived a turbulent but interesting life. Even if it’s something that one shouldn’t look up to.
Mafia games are a goated Trilogy
Way better than the Definitive edition of the GTA trilogy 😂
Not a big fan of Mafia 3 I could never finish it because it was so damn repetitive if they cut half the shit that's repetitious. And focused more on the story it could've been perfect.
But I love the game itself just can't keep my attention to finish it.
Fr you're right man Mafia 2 was my fav game 😅
Every time I play through this trilogy I always feel a bit sad when I get to 3 because while I feel the need to finish it for the sake of completionism I know I'm in for a grindy tedious few hours but the story is still good. It's hard to know If the gameplay loop is worth it sometimes though.
@@pyroAdaptMafia 3 makes the tragic mistake of concealing some of the lore within the gameplay, and then putting tiny font to give the characters we are either recruiting or killing a semblance of a life. Depending on who you kill, you can make Lincoln look like a straight-up Cold War Sociopathic Ptsd riddled Veteran. Or you can make him just about the money, not the killing. Myself, I like to try and do things non-lethally, until Frisco fields and the DLC of course.
You have a penchant for re-telling crime stories, and it ahows. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Vito is an interesting character and he used to be my favorite protagonist in this mafia Trilogy. However after analyzing the story for the mafia remake and mafia 2, I’ve realized that Vito is a failure. Vito kept on ignoring the wisdom of his mother and he even pushed away the rest of his family. Yeah sure in one of the endings for the 3rd game he could be the Don but still he’s alone. Even he admitted that he gave up everything for “the life”. Tommy on the other hand is done with that life and he’s surrounded by people he loved in the end. Plus the Angelo family is free.
Hardly. Tommy came from nothing, gained a lot, gave it up to protect the ones he cared about, and it still caught up to him. Success is subjective, but Tommy always looked over his shoulder until he died.
@@tonycordero6105 obviously, looking over his shoulder was a consequence of his evil decisions(plus he expected it) but my point is that still Tommy got away from that evil life. If he continued down that road then his family would’ve been killed as well. That’s what I meant by the Angelo family being free. The Angelo family can live in peace now.
@@tonycordero6105 also notice that Vito is alone as a Don. Similar to Michael Corleone in the end. Yeah sure as a mafia boss he’s doing well but in his personal life he is a failure.
Naw Vito da goat
Tommy is a fawkin RAT, disgrazia
I always loved that this game shows Vito and his family immigrating for the American Dream, when that promise is broken it shows what Vito is willing to do to fulfill it anyway.
Maturing is realizing that out of all 3 of the mafia protagonists Vito was actually a antagonist 🥱
Vito didn't have the agency to be a protagonist.
Sure, he had the drive, the skills, the motivation to put in moves, but every single thing ever did was an order or an idea introduced by someone else. Started his life of crime because of Joe, followed orders from military brass, then listened to Joe about getting into the mafia. Then he's locked away and falls in with Leo who doesn't give him a choice anyway. Then Joe again. All the missions just happen at him and he obeys, all the while he keeps talking big game about taking charge of his own life. He never does.
Vito is a victim.
Vito wasn’t a antagonist he was a antihero and it shows in a lot of his qualities he the definition of a mafia pawn but still cared for friends/grey morals they give the excuse
tommy ratted for family but he inevitably is still a rat and gave vince and ralph time along wit salieri and lincoln was the jack of all trades of both combat wise, intelligence wise, and morals wise money hungry, ruled by revenge and love of family, while also wanting to move up and rule the city and control it also lincoln makes the smartest decision based on the player choosing to go on the run never seen never cooperated and can also rule with a iron fist like the don
Antagonist doesn't mean bad guy it means the guy who goes against the goals of the Protagonist as such Vito was a Protagonist he is also a bad guy those two ain't mutually exclusive.
A game that could have been much more. It still holds up, which does show its value with every year it ages on.
As for Vito, i find him to be a great character. I personally connected with him at some point because of struggle i endured in real life: was fed up with low paying job and not being able to buy anything costly, being poor and just living from day to day and not knowing where my place in the world really is.
But with the help of few friends, i managed to get on my own again, and continued with normal and satisfying life to this day, which didnt happend to Vito unfortunately, even with Joe by his side at the end.
I really miss characters being written tragically without really a happy ending, just a plain grey or completely sad ending.
Anyway, cheers for video dude
Joe isn't dead, he is seen in Mafia 3 driving for Leo when Lincoln meets him, They just split Joe and Vito up to avoid any more trouble they might have caused
“Joe isn’t dead”
Fan service…
this is a horrendously bad take, he did not give up his family for power, helped his sister with her abusive partner, helped her with costs of their mothers funeral, helped avenge henrys death by literally whiping out a entire sub section of the chinese mafia, helped joe all the time. gets genuinely hurt and upset with joes dissappearance.
@@billymays__2839 henry was a rat. Vouching for his “friend”, who he barely knew, cost him everything and by avenging him he caused a war. Making his situation even worse. With that same situation possibly causing the commission to believe joe and vito were too dangerous together. Hence permanently separating them under the belief the other was dead. His sister disowned him for beating her husband and threatening to kill him. Was he wrong? Hell no. But the action still terrified his sister and pushed her away.
@@CynicGTA Henry was a rat who befriended them and actually had a friendship even though he was a agent, he didnt want them in prison after their bonding, they knew each other for a while, theres a time skip in the game if your unaware, caused a war out of loyalty to family, vito beat his siters abuser out of loyalty to his family, there is literally a scene with joe where he has a chance to betray vito but out of loyalty with his family being vito he doesint which both would do easily for each other. you read this game horrendously wrong
@@billymays__2839 i think the same can be said for you about reading the game wrong. Mentioning the time skip is irrelevant. The point i was making was Vito had no genuine ties to Henry really after he went to prison. The closest he got to him was when they were waiting in the apartment on the hit for Clemente. After that theres no mention of Vito or Joe seeing henry again until they went to takeout clemente. Vito was loyal, yes. But the whole point was if you look at vito’s actions his loyalty to certain people directly caused his problems. Hence how he lost his family. Im not questioning his loyalty or authentic feelings for henry, joe, leo, or his sister.
Warning Leo would cause problems with Falcone had he known Vito stepped in. (Regardless the action of getting rid of leo would get him on Vinci’s shit list since the information Henry brought to Eddie would cause them to target Leo.) no matter how you look at Leo’s situation it was because of Vito in some way shape or form. His loyalty to Henry would also cause issues with everyone. From vouching for a rat to starting a war. Starting the war would lead to the commission viewing vito and joe as a problem together, but separately they had their uses.
Leo was loyal to Vito, but all that got him was exiled working for another family he had no respect for. In the end Vito had push and pull moments. He’d push to do what he could to establish himself as successful since he never wanted to experience poverty again. But hed pull back and put himself in a difficult position when people he cared for were the targets. And that caused him to be alone without anyone he loved by his side
Yet due to his actions he didnt get to see his mom pass because he was in jail, while i think his sister was stupid for getting mad at Vito for setting her husband straight. In her eyes her brother has repeatedly made bad decisions after bad decisions all out of resentment for his dad and chasing the life of the mob. Hell even in Mafia 3 if you leave everything to Vito he is alone in his penthouse no family and no friends
@@CynicGTA I find it out odd that you believe that henry is a rat there is no proof provided that he is a rat much less a government informant. This game gives no evidence to say he is one
Through it all Vito was exiled from Empire Bay, losing all contact with his sister and never seeing his buddy Joe again.
Joe should have been offed…
Underrated Character you don’t see too many videos on.
Thank you.🙏🏾
I was about 15 when this game came out and Henry's death always stuck with me. Abrupt, brutal and one of the very few times in a game where at that moment, I could psychically feel the need/want to get revenge.
I was about 10 when Mafia 2 came out and I can say for me as a 25yr old man Marty's death fucked me up cause he was just a kid. Same as Henry but Henry got it the worse way. This game impacted my childhood on the look of the mob life since watching the godfather and playing the godfather games. Not everyone is gonna have the luxury life of being a "Made Man" it comes with consequences.💯💯
Brutal path of revenge
Lincoln Clay - An unleashed monster, after a shocked betrayal.
@@ruben_zermeno its coming!
I loved mafia 2 but after playing mafia 1. I don't feel the same way anymore.
Let's go! Mafia 2! I ended up listening to "Alternate Ending" just a few days ago and now this lovely video entered my recommended!
Whats crazy is we were playing as Vito when he was 18-20 years old
The fuel stamp mission in Mafia 2 is mildly infuriating cause of the sudden difficulty spike and time crunch once you get the stamps and return with them, not to mention the fuel station's were all over the city, plus sometimes your car will randomly respawn back at your garage.
Bro your writing and editing is phenomenal. I just followed, I can’t wait to see your channel blow up
This is one of the games I use to play, thank you for the nostalgia my guy. (Plus 1 sub)
I wish they put just a little more emphasis on his training and time in the army, he wasn't just any soldier but a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne, based on the timeline of when he was deployed and when he came home, Vito would have been living through the entirety of a Call of Duty campaign in the few years between the flashback and when he returns to Empire Bay.
The man jumped into Sicily, probably Italy proper, Normandy, Holland, and eventually got shot during the Battle of the Bulge... as far as paratroopers were concerned, this guy fought through pretty much the entire war.
And when I say "fought" I mean fought, not just moved around Europe in giant convoys, shifting from guard post to guard post, as a paratrooper he would have spent most if not all of his times near, or behind, the enemy front lines. There was no such thing as an "easy war" for the 82nd.
Idk, I just feel like it would have been cool if, say for example in Prison when we're introduced to the boxing mechanics, we got a little flashback of Vito doing hand to hand combat training with the 82nd, or maybe during a particularly brutal firefight he'll start hearing voices or calling out to people that aren't there, idk something to show that he wasn't just "a soldier for a couple years" but was actually taking part in some of the most intense combat in the war. Actively.
I get why they focused on only Sicily for the flashback mission, and especially for a game in 2010, I get why they didn't want to dwell on the flashbacks and make Mafia 2 end up feeling like "yet another WW2 game" - perhaps they left his backstory blank so we could self-insert from all the other WW2 games that were on the market in 2010, either way, this is just one in a long list of examples I have where this game just felt... incomplete, rushed... Which of course, it was, rather famously. Mafia 2 is a shell of the game it was meant to be.
GTA 4, gta sa, mafia 1 and 2 were probably the only games to capture the gangster life good and realistic
i loved this game, so much, it was, the only game i ever cried to the ending of, i thought they killed his only real friend😭😭
Beautiful channel, thank you for your work.
Joe's fate is not unclear. Leo's driver who looks at Lincoln after the last mission is clearly older Joe. They didn't even make it subtle. It's him.
Fan service…
Me and my best friend played this game back in the day. We’d quote Vito and Joe often. Looking back now, we were just like the duo.
Ah yes another video about my favorite game of all time
Mafia 2 is my favorite game in the series. I love Vito si much that my canon ending in Mafia 3 besides ruling together is Leaving everything to Vito
Vito thought he was above the rules. He fucked up and he paid for it.
When the boss says no (in this case drugs), then it is a no.
if it wasn’t for Henry none of that would’ve happened not sure why Vito agreed it was a terrible idea the only other way I’d see Vito getting into trouble with breaking the rules would be when he killed Derek and Steve
Not to mention Joe should have been offed, but the new staff for Mafia 3 kept him alive because of fan service instead of keeping it real story wise so this way Mafia 2’s ending (and story overall) would continue to have a lasting impact on the audience.
Great game. Great video, as always. Cynic love the channel
Again thank you so much for the generosity. Ironic with your name lol. Im glad youre loving the direction of the channel as well. If theres anything you want seen or covered, im all ears!
@CynicGTA I would love to see a full story on Sam fisher. I think that would be cool as with your voice
Thanks a lot for making this
for 29:48 you can escape with leo through the window and then henry doesn't know that vito was involved so its kind of depending on the player on if he gets caught or not
as much of a rocky development Mafia 2 had , the removed content of what could have been and the rewrite of the 50s era , I still love this story
I think Tommy reluctantly began a life of crime, staying in the game because he saw the perks of being made.
Vito jumped into a life of crime headfirst, aspiring to become the biggest gangster in Empire Bay. He gave up his family for a life of crime. Yet at the end of the game, he lost the one thing he had at the beginning of the game that he threw it all away for: his friendship with Joe.
You should cover Lincoln Clay next
Imagine, Vito don't kill Tommy and let's him be his mentor in the mafia. That would be nice. Tommy teaches way of Mafia in classic way to Vito and Joe.
They all did everything both good and bad for their families. Yeah, sometimes they moved against but in the end, all of them did everything for their family.
Might be cool but I doubt Tommy would like to have anything to do with Mafia life again
@@SuperPeanutlover78 - Well, I meant that for also if Tommy never betrayed Salieri and like Frank said to Tom in the car, he could become a Don of Lost Heaven. Imagine Tommy becomes Don and never does the Bank job with Paulie that lead them to have troubles. All 3 of them live their life and still be friends. Salieri after betraying his own family because of sugar powder business, gets killed by the Comission. Years later Tom lives his normal life and meets with Vito and Joe. Then he becomes their mentor.
@@mafia_gamer_official30973 Cool scenario
You could alternatively help Leo escape from the hit on him and flee without Henry ever knowing of Vito’s involvement
I still feel like there was more room for storyline in this game. I could've seen at least two more missions while Vito was out on bond before he got sentenced to prison. In place of the "Good Times Roll" montage after he & Joe get made, we could've had another 4 chapters centering around the two as newly button men working their way up the ranks of the mob with the goal of making the rank Capo Regimes as well as the rivalry heating up between Clemente & Falcone Families leading us to "Room Service", the final nail in the coffin. Then maybe two more chapters before "A Friend Of Ours". (I wanted to do more with Vito as a made man prior to his house getting burned down and confrontation with the Irish. Then after Henry gets them involved in the drug business, I woulda liked to do Drug Dealing missions instead of another montage followed by Henry's death and the war with the Triads: there was room for at least one or two more chapters in that sequence then the final chapter but split up into 5 parts where you as Vito have to make a choice on who to kill and ultimately saving Joe's life. They shouldn't have cut a thing. If anything, the game needed more.
oh my god i loveeeeeeeeeeed mafia 2. it’s such an underrated game 😭😭
always wondered what if Vito learned Tommy's story. would he have done something different..
Vito wanted power and it caused him his family, friends and his soul
The Vito ending is poetic because when you see the Older Vito. He's in a penthouse all alone. Hence "it's lonely at the top"
Wow, amazing film, that was good hour.
Yo the Mafia series?
Thats Awesome!!!
Fine! I'll play Mafia II again!
Please do a character analysis of Lincoln Clay from Mafia III
This is one of my favorite games of all time, it was like playing through Goodfellas
Great Mafia video
The only problem I have with the Mafia game is you never really do anything dirty, never get that sold your soul to the devil feeling
I totally didn't get the guy in the tank is a mob boss l thought he was a commander of some sort
Historical figure he was the head of the Sicilian mob during the war he essentially made a deal with the American government and the allies with lucky Luciano to have the mob assist the landing in Sicily
I absolutely loved this game and even more because the guy at the docks has the same last name is me which is crazy to see in a video game
It’s interesting how different all the three main characters are in their wants and needs.
i REALLY wish there was a DLC for each character you help and get assistance from in Mafia 3 about their backgrounds.
especially for Vito, his being much more in-debth and direct then the others. specifically so that Vito could get the help of Lincoln as well as the CIA dude to find out what happened to Joe and track him down, be he dead and burried or alive and well. seriously, that would have been AWESOME!
Joe deserved better, and i wish we could have learned what happene to him in Mafia 3.
Joe should have been offed so this way, Mafia 2’s ending continues to have a lasting impact on the audience and move on. You have a crush on Joe. How does he deserve better after what he caused in Chinatown and the results afterward? The Mafia franchise is now officially Playhouse Disney.
The mafia trilogy always makes me kinda sad Tommy had the best ending
This makes me want to replay the entire trilogy
Joe's fate is actually shown very briefly at the end of mafia 3 in which he is Leo's driver
Fan service…
UA-cam STOP RECOMMENDING ME THIS VIDEO
Mafia 2 will always have that special place in my soul😢
Its weird for me to hear the game in english but the voice acting sounds as good as in czech
Loved this look though
underrated series
Great watch 🙏🏿
I did like how in mafia 3 you can give it all to Vito
Man i tried getting into mafia 1 and that one race ended my playthrough i couldnt pass it
Dude, I think I spent a week on that race with the classic version. Slowly I figured out a way to win by playing dirty at the very start, and then you can't make one mistake for the rest of the run. Heard they lowered the difficulty on that one later, but winning that race for me was like winning the lottery when I finally managed it.
*siding with Vito in Mafia 3 makes all the sense in the world but also eliminating him makes just as much sense* 🕵
I refuse to believe Henry is a rat there is no proof that he is one and considering that all of the made men in the series except Leo has lied to Vito I find it hard to believe that these guys who constantly lied and jerked around Vito and Joe from the start are telling the truth
54:09 reminds me when Sammy was killed
This was a total masterpiece for it's time before we got RDR2 with it's amount of details.
Yea i did found the magazine at the stairs on the start of the game
I beg you make a video about Lincoln clay 😩
Joe is the most loyal character in mafia....
Yes
I wish i could've finished this game wasn't able to because of a glitch that only ps4 had
Joe was by far my favorite in this game it’s good he was alive in 3
Fan service…
Mafia 2 is a master piece in my opinion and there was a lot off cut content this game could have been one off the greatest of altime if it wasn't rushed
To be honest Im still Understanding the story of this game its quite messy mainly Due to the cut content and the Game being rushed
i wont lie its hitting me so hard back then to see joe as not part of the plan in the ending, its also bit frustrating to see henry butchered in board daylight because i refuse to believe he is a rat
Vito is the man bro
