    Played Mafia 2 on Christmas Day. Will always think of Christmas when I’m in Empire Bay in the snow.

    This was so much more informative than I was expecting. I know how hard you work and how deep your research goes, but I had no clue there was THIS MUCH HISTORY behind the Mafia games. This is the opposite of that Billy Madison bit: I feel smarter having watched this.
    Keep it up, man. Can't wait to see where you go next, and it looks like I may have to finally play the Mafia games.

    Hey Lock.
    I’m an old man who doesn’t know how to use social media and have loved you on LSM. Just wanted to let you know that your work is exactly what I am looking for. Keep it my friend and if you need to see my papers, Baldur’s Gate 2 is the greatest game of all time… I know you are an Edwin(a) fan but seeing the simple Minsc’s evolution has him as my fave. Keep it up buddy

    I’ll be honest, I still had a tough time on normal with the race in the remake lol. I can’t imagine how much more infuriating it was in the original

    • @Quack_attack_
      @Quack_attack_ 15 дней назад

      I was playing on the hardest difficulty and after 4-5 tries went to that glitch where you cause a pile up and after several attempts with that and not getting it to work I got so good at the driving I beat the race the normal way on my next first try lol , I think it's so hard because it's right in the beginning when no one has the driving down yet

  • @GROVESTREET2005

  • @JingleJangleJam

    What I liked about the infamous race, is that you truly only got the rest of the game, because of how early on it was, as a kind of reward for this stupendously difficult test of your gamer skill, but it was worth it. I can't believe Tommy also didn't get past first base with Sarah on that mission he saved her life in the ''Definitive Edition''. Many people say Tommy is a sympathetic character, but he's not - he kind of reflected the dark, ambitious side of myself I had as a child, I liked that I got more cars and more clothes the worse and cruelled I became, even knocking off a politician like it was some small game for the Don after I had already made him the most powerful man in town, he still didn't have enough or feel satisfied with my efforts yet.
    Then, the game killed my avatar, killed Tommy the virtual protagonist I identify with and enjoy using to kill innocents to gain power for his cold career, to drive nicer and more luxurious cars, or more suits and hats (as his clothing slightly improved from the earlier cab driver outfit), only to have the game kill me in the storyline finale and tell me about how it was all about how I got too ambitious and selfish.
    Now that's art, and the entire artistic quality of the original game is lost in the remake where storyline in fact vindicates the mafia protagonist as a self-sacrificing family man, whose violent side and all the things he did to people throughout the game wasn't coming back to haunt him, but rather instead he is the victim of circumstance and necessity through poverty here
    - it's easy to miss that and see that as the original point of the original game, and that's how the remakers stumbled artistically - despite using improved graphics - the reverberation of his good actions and of his love of family, his morality as the cause of his death - whereas in the original, Tommy was immoral.
    The people that claim Tommy is a sympathetic and nicer person in the original and that is why it is better, therefore miss the point. In the original Tommy is a total psychopath, and that is why it is a better game, it reflects to the person playing a darker side of themselves, indulge a darker side, then shows the consequences of that action, unlike its sequels, including Mafia II, that ended up more as parodies and satires than the serious work of art the original is. Can I say really that Tommy is just a nice cab driver, who ended up by circumstances he couldn't control in the mafia and just wanted a good career and more options and respect? Then I am just like Tommy, and I deserve to figuratively and symbolically die too in that last mission, which is what Vavra does - he kills Tommy symbolically in the notion of his lifestyle, not just as an videogame protagonist.

    Was very pleasantly surprised to see that you uploaded, after what you and Matty were discussing about your guy's channels. I had come into this video assuming mafia was good but ultimately not for me, but by the 30min mark I had all 4 games in my cart, including the original just so I could experience it in its true form.

      I highly recommend installing the Community Modpack for the Mafia: The City Of Lost Heaven. Its like a non-official remaster version (not remake). Adds HD textures, better water effects, cars are improved, 16:9 patch, restores the og soundtrack thats missing from the steam version, and so much more

    Want to play the rest of the series so I avoided the parts with spoilers but damn was Mafia 1 good. I only played the definitive edition, but the feature where the road signs change accordlingly to your navigation needs to be in every open world game with cars. Looking constantly at the minimap sucks and they figured out the perfect solution to it. And sorry having to pronounce Czech names, nobody should ever have to go through that.

    • @horvathr95
      @horvathr95 12 дней назад +1

      Thats why the minimap in the first game was transparent, and could be viewed when driving. You pressed a key, and the whole map was viewable in a full screen. Also it made you learn the road network.
