    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 2 роки тому +19

      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.

    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!

      The race mission gave me bitter feelings about Mafia for 20 years. I mean, just whenever I'd think about it. "Gah! That level!" 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 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.

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 !

    I am a new fan to the mafia series, as i am a 14 year old, but i loved the style of the game with it being focused on the story, because i really got tired of all the open world games that you see everywhere

    Race car missing was absolute hell when I was a kid, but it was the most fun I've had in a video game, the biggest challenge I went through, good old times :)

    Never played a Mafia game before I started this game. I'm about 2/3 of the way through now at a guess, and I think this game is awesome! Such a cool vibe, not a stupid padded out open world, acting is good, graphics are nice, story is engaging. I dont like the gun play controls, but everything else is perfect. 9/10 for me!

    Funny how this game looks slightly better than mafia 3. But it has its typical hangar 13 graphical glitches.

      The glitches aren’t game breaking I haven’t run across any yet.

      they’ve definitely improved on their engine apart from mafia 3, still feels a lot like mafia 3 with the same motions and almost identical gunplay apart from not being able to laser beam people like lincoln clay
