Few things I forgot to mention: 1) Olivia Marcano was a Marcano by marriage. She was married to Sal's brother Lucio, but Olivia killed him, and became a capo 2) As of 2016, Lincoln Clay is wanted by the FBI
If anyone hasn't figured out how Tommy was found residing in Empire Bay. In the remake, the money pick-up mission Paulie and Sam explained the motel is a front for stop by for all the dons or capos to reside, making drop off/pick ups. The in and out of town families or bosses are making business and meetings. Morrello was included in motel reside to make business. At that moment, he and Falcone met, started the drug business together, splitting the powder and cash. Then war ignited between him and Salieri Morello, he had to cut off business with Falcone. With Morello killed, leaving the motel in possession of Salieri. He and Falcone met, and Falcone convinced Salieri to get into drug business with Falcone support. Then Salieri behind bars, addressing his acting boss handling business and talking to contacts of cops, feds, and friends of the family. By 1950s the search was over, Salieri called in Falcone favors.
That definitive edition is definitely one of my favorite games I ever played even better than mafia 2 I hope 4 is a prequel about the salleri and morello rise and break up n lead up to everything would be great to play in Italy and an early 1900s lost heaven setting…… but if it’s a 70s vegan I wouldn’t be mad
main reason why sam betrayed tommy and paulie because of the don the don made sammy stressed and losing his mind he is so scared either the don keep sammy or whack him

Salieri thinking Frank was killed by Tommy was the main reason I suspected that there would be betrayal at the end of the game. Apparently, Salieri never talked about Frank, his best friend for almost his entire life ever again after his ‘death’. It just made me think if he can let go of someone he’s known and trusted that long that easily, it would be even easier for him to put 2 through your head
There's a theory that Salieri found out pretty early about Frank and the reason that Tommy never heard Salieri talk about Franky afterwards were because he couldn't stand the fact Tommy would've betrayed him on it. Of course this all assumes that Sam was wanting to betray both Paulie and Tommy years before the bank heist.
@@conscripthornet4430i think he found out later cuz he was actually grooming Tommy to be he is next in line for a while. He was the perfect successor in every way tougher than Sam but is smart and more charismatic than paulie. He might have even forgiven Tommy if he and paulie didn’t rob the bank
@@conscripthornet4430Frank made it too easy to find him so I can believe that. One of Salieri’s contacts in Italy probably told him pretty soon after that his old consigliere was alive and frequently attending dog races which is something both Frank and Salieri were into. I don’t think Salieri ordered the death of Frank’s wife and daughter but that is a hallmark difference the American vs. Sicilian mob. The Sicilian mob would clean house on your entire bloodline so that none of your relatives(who are socially obligated) can directly or indirectly seek revenge. Which is why they went after wives and daughters too because of that indirect revenge aspect.
I like how Tommy just got offed, almost unceremoniously. In the end he ended up just like everyone he killed himself, a stepping stone for a couple youngers to rise through the ranks.
It reminds me of the Rat in the first season of the Sopranos. He had a remarkable career as a member of the mafia, then left and had a whole new life and family in Maine, until Tony comes along, strangles him with a cord, and leaves him dead in the dirt. It shows that associating with the mafia is a deal with the devil no matter what: if you stay in then youll likely get killed by a rival or police, or end up with a lifelong prison bid. If you get out youll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life, and the moment you let your guard down the men you once called blood brothers will put you down without a second thought for your treachery. As badass as the mafia or any other gang is, its a poison that latches on to you the second you go near it and it takes an act of God to get it off.
@@HugoStiglitz88 in my opinion he got the best ending out of any character. He got in some trouble and saved his own ass, then he went on to live a solid chunk of life building his own family, when his time came he took it like a champ and his family was left unharmed
You have a fantastic way of concisely, coherently, and enthrallingly, unpack narratives while keeping them as compelling as they were in their original forms.
The British general speaking are the best at it. It is why when you watch documentaries with British narrators, you take in so much more information and are able to retain it much more easily.
For the part where Henry finds Leo, I swear you can actually beat the mission without being caught. I SWEAR I remember driving Leo to the airport in his car instead of getting the cutscene in the kitchen
Yes, if I remember correctly, you can find some sheets and then use them to climb down the balcony. From there you then take Leo's car and escape to the train station.
This is correct. There are several ways to complete this mission, and some of the ways you can get caught result in an automatic fail instead of Henry letting him go. I always climb out the window and take Leo's car.
there are 3 option where u fail hiding under the bed,in the closet and in the shower and 1 where u escape if u take the bed sheets that are in a clothes basket and escape trough the balcony in a car
The final conversation with Sal Marcano is one of my favorite scenes in gaming to be honest. Just love that they're just talking, no glorified last stand with Sal vs Lincoln. Sal knows he's done for and just accepts it. Also love how there's multiple ways to kill Sal in the end.
I love the fact that instead of just recaping on the story of all the games, you actually add in some extra lore like with Tommy's backstory, Empire Bay's history or the origins of the Haitian Mob. Much appreciated
I got into the mafia games with mafia 2 with Vito, but when I got to mafia 1 and saw the ending my mind got blown and was like "hold on, wait a God dang second..." 😂
It was a great way to tie the two together. Wished 2 got the same type of DE remake that 1 did, though. Mafia 2 is my all-time favorite out of the three, and I would have loved to have seen Vito and the world with the new engine upgrades, but the storytelling for all of these games are just amazing (which is what really counts the most). Highly recommend people play them if they have never.
@@TwoBsWhat's the point? Remaking a game from the 360 era is pointless, because aside from graphics which still hold up okay, the gameplay is completely up to par with every other major open world game. This isn't like when they remade one, where the gameplay was very much of the era before everything became standardized.
Absolutely love this. The story is incredible and the way the end it with a potential expansion/future dlc speech about Donovan going after the conspiracy ring is 10/10
It’s a shame that Mafia III is such a buggy (and poorly paced) mess because the story and characters are awesome. Donovan is EASILY one of my favorite characters. Of course being very well acted helps a TON but man, that credits scene is just immaculate 🤌🏻
@@ZephyrusBlue Honestly at this point with all the updates Mafia 3 got I didn't get a single bug during my play through and I ended up getting more bugs playing Mafia 2 than 3 (to be fair it was Mafia 2 Definitive Edition and I probably shoulda just played the original PC version or emulated the PS3 version) with one bug making me stop playing entirely cause it's a progression bug that I'd have to go back to my last save and play for another hour to get back to the part I was at I think it was going back and talking to the loan shark it's been like 8 months so I barely remember but the story was at least good enough that I wish they'd remake it like they did the first game. All that being said Mafia 3 was just boring and repetitive and the story coulda probably just been told with a much shorter game cause clearing all the gang operations and everything was just grindy filler that distracts from the real meat of the game which is the fantastic story.
@@theninjamaster67 not to discredit you or anything but I sincerely doubt this. Back when I made this comment I was actually in the middle of going through another run to try and get some bugged trophies and there was PLENTY of visual bugs still in the game. Need to look no further than a mirror to witness them in action. The game just hates reflections of all kinds tbh
@@HugoStiglitz88 bro, you’re talking to someone who still enjoyed the game but to ignore the jank is just crazy, I’m just being honest. Edit: removed the redundant comment about reflections because I’ve already mentioned it in the past. An alarming amount of time has passed since I originally commented here lol.
@@dgotcookies well he helps rebuild the hollow and gets the theme park back open. Father James explains it all in the end cutscene before saying Lincoln expands across the south. “If it made money Lincoln was apart of it”
@@Chicken_Wing91 yea but correct me if im wrong, didn't he become a boss and participate in the same mafia stuff that Vito and the other underbosses were doing. It's just gonna be more crime more mafia wars and all that it's a cycle. All he did was rebuild a place to then rule it and rebuild a theme park
Im not sure if its intentional or not but i loved it During the Angelo's assassination by Vito and Joe, on the mafia 1 remake the view was much warmer because Angelo has finally accepted his fate and died peacefully And on mafia 2 remastered, it was much colder because Vito and Joe was running on thin ice with everyone trying to kill them
@@ron4L_34it’s less about actually dying peacefully physically but more so mentally accepting his death and passing with the knowledge that he lived a full life before his actions through life caught upto him. So mentally he passed peacefully in a sense.
@@compassrose1466how can you mentally peacefully accept that death knowing you left a family behind you, and your grandchildrens grandchildrens knowing that's how you went out with a terrible image
@@dgotcookiesbecause the Family got Tommy's life, that's what they wanted. They were going to get him eventually, and if you were in his shoes you'd much rather die right then, alone, then somewhere later down the line and potentially have your family get caught in the crossfire like with Sergio's mistress
From this break down, it seems that Mafia 3 has the best story out of all of them. It's pretty cool to see Lincoln rise up and utterly destroy the Mercano family and rise to power
I agree the problem with mafia 3 in my eyes was the lack of variety in how Lincoln takes down the rackets and what you do between story beats. But the world and writing were A1.
You also missed out on the 2 other ending as the "Vito Ending" isn't the only one. The reason on the 3 endings is dependent on how many districts you've given to your underbosses and the one with the most would have a alt ending. If you gave Burke most of the ending, Burke would become the defacto leader of the gang that Lincoln left behind and instead of running it well, he turned New Bordeaux into a land of total debauchery. By Nicki's words (Thomas Burke's daughter), after Lincoln left, they found cancer cells on Thomas's liver and was stated that he would be dead by at least six months but he took the money he earned and went to Mexico and switch for a new liver thru the black market and went on to survive for another 15 years. During that period, he went on and expand the criminal empire of New Bordeaux by expanding on booze and finally drugs with him shipping heroin at first before expanding on cocaine which he became the biggest distributor of narcotics in the entire of the US. Burke got soo rich from illicit activities that he became one of the richest fella in the entire of the Southern US and because of that, he was able to buy a seat in the city council and even had the entire state changing it's name from New Bordeaux to "Bourbon City". However, being the biggest narcotics distributor has it's price as every criminal syndicate wants a slice of the pie and during the 1980s, all hell broke loose when the Cuban gang declared war on Burke's operations and during the entire period, acts of terrorism was happening across the city with car bombs, kidnappings, murders, shootout on broad daylight and brothels burnt to the ground. With his operation under threat, the Cubans finally sealed the deal and called Burke out. Not going down without a fight, in 1984, Burke took an M60 machine guns and a few grenades to assault the Cubans alone. He did kill a few of the Cubans but he didn't survive the attack and instead got taken out by the Cubans. Since then, none of the top bosses after Burke had managed to sit down on the seat for more than a year and New Bordeaux till the time of the 2010s was still a lawless paradise. If you gave Cassandra the ending, Cassandra and the Haitian Mob would be the defacto leader of the gang that Lincoln left behind and instead of running it well, she turned New Bordeaux into a hellhole and did ruin the whole economical structure of the city and even to an extent, the entire god damn state. When Lincoln passed on his mantle to Cassandra, almost all major criminal organization known by man that spans from Boston to Miami that respected that order and everyone went for her blood including the Cubans, the Commission, the Columbians and some say even the Triads but none of these organization knew who they were fighting and how much of deep shit had they stepped into. One by one, they lost their leader by murder with Johnny Galante being slit in the throat while watching a porn flick in a porn theater, Manny Moreno being burnt alive during his daughter's 15th birthday party, Severo Garcia being buried in the sand right along the beach and drowned when the waves covered him up and Anton Bagrov being beaten to death with a crowbar. Things got soo bad that more and more mobsters and organizations went after Cassandra time and time again with relentless firepower but each time, they failed and came out worse. Things got soo bad that the governor declared martial law and brought in the National Guard to maintain order but Cassandra has other plans as she ordered the assassination of the governor who was then shot in the head, in broad daylight, right outside the steps of the capitol building and that's when people realized that Cassandra effectively runs New Bordeaux and no one can touch her but they were wrong... VERY wrong. By assassinating the governor in broad daylight, Cassandra has messed with an enemy that she could not even win and that's the government. When the news reached the senate, they decided to pull all government grants and fundings to the entire state of Louisiana in retaliation of what Cassandra did by cutting school funds, maintenance works fess and all kinds of supportive grants in order to force the people to push Cassandra out while bankrupting the state. When the massive hurricane of 2004 hit Louisiana, it was soo devastating and with the state in disrepair even before the hurricane hit, the city couldn't rebuild and is still in a dilapidated state in the 2010s and almost all had nicknamed the hurricane as "Hurricane Cassandra" upon the devastation of how these 2 had brought to the whole state. However, the condition and how Cassandra turned out to be was still a mystery as the game ends as some had said that she was killed and got swept away by the tides during the hurricane whereas some had stated that she had hidden out of sight and had hid in the Bayou to restructure another bounce back from there but as people said, god knows how she is now.
It proves how valuable Vito is when he's the only one (except Lincoln) who doesn't fuck everything up. Yes, Cassandra is a badass but overall Vito and Lincoln make ot actually work.
Easily one of my favorite franchises. Some of the most compelling crime story telling in the game industry. I'm glad of the audience it has, but its level of recognition still isn't enough.
@@detectivehan5717 yakuza's been getting a ton of recognition though lately. Btw, is yakuza's story really good? I've been curious for a while it's just 6 games or whatever is A LOT (I'm not playing the turn based one though)
Big reason is that mafia 1 came out in shadow of gta 3 and i think it got more popular when hangar 13 bought (mafia 3 creators) bought 2k czech (mafia 1,2 creators)
Hey, just noticed you missed an integral point of the Mafia relations in #2. The $5000 that the guy charges joe and the player to "join" his family is actually a slight and once the other families find out that he's trying to charge people to join his family, it's a big part of taking him out. This is my first comment on your channel and it's amazing the way you lay everything out in a concise way that makes it easy to take in the info without getting confused. Great job.
Best part about the first game is Tommy's wife and kids was untouchable, she was in the game from a kid and the Don seeing her as his god daughter its why Tommy's last words was "youre safe, you're all now safe" thats OG gangster respect. She never did ask questions, even if she did she'd never rat. "Marry me." "Okay." So loving but so blunt because she was a good wife and loyal to the family. I loved their marriage aspect
Thats what i like About The remake its that we got to see more storylines like paulie wanting to open an restaurant or tommys and saras relationship in more depth
I'm a new viewer to this series and I must say I really like how you tell long stories with breaks to tell a bit about characters. Same how you did with the Outlast series. The breaks never just cut in and they provide good character information rather than just throwing a whole bunch of names at the viewer. I really love this format.
I wasnt expecting the franchise to get so good in Mafia III. Lincoln is such a compelling character, making good use of his special forces' skills. I like his sense of flair. What a journey. 😲
21:14 There is a slight change in story here, In the original version Pauli and Tommy are only told about the cigars and they find that there are diamonds in the cigar boxes, Saleri never traded drugs on the original version
@@thegamingcook785 Right. *Especially* since in the start, we remember Salieri saying you can deal in everything EXCEPT dope. That while Morello can poison his people, Salieri won't. I think at this point all three of them began to realize that Salieri has changed, and not for the better.
There are many more or less little story changes between the original and the remake. They decided to embellish the story a bit and tell it in more detail. The results are differences between the two games. I'm still not sure if I like or hate it. For me it feels like the whole Salieri feeling and even Tommy's character changed too much from the original.
@@jBurn_well there are good things like paulies storyline About wanting to open a restaurant and tommys and saras relationship more in depth but then you have things like salieri with those drugs and fucking armored vehicle on The farm
Absolutely love it that you did this. Mafia is originally from my country and its a piece of art that we mostly appreciate, both the original Mafia 1 and 2 and even the remake was pretty well done. Thank you for doing this, very appreciated.
I hope mafia 4 has the same vibe as 2. If it is a prequel they can make it similar like salieri and frank climbs the ranks of mafia lifestyle, but I don’t mind if it’s like godfather that is also a masterpiece and it will prob be like that cuz the timeline
Wow!!! You not only managed to keep me engaged for one hour and forty-two minutes but also compelled me to like and subscribe to the channel. Very informative and well-presented video of a game series which I have played for quite some time and details how Mafias operate in an in-depth way. I wish News anchors and channels would have presented data the way you do! Good job here... 🙂
Damn, dude, what a ride! I only played bits and pieces of the first game, 99%ed Mafia II, and could never bring myself to pick up III. You have done II justice, so I feel satisfied you've done for the others as well. Thank you for the thorough and well-paced breakdown of this awesome series, mate!
I love how you broke this down & put the chapters together to make it interesting. I’m replaying the game again on my channel & this is the order route I’m taking for Mafia 3 ‼️
I love both 3 games, but the original mafia 1 (and i adore the remake with graphics) and mafia 2 will always be my fav. But i love the absolutely brutal stealth kills in 3.
This video is hands down, your best video ever! And that says a lot considering all your other videos are a treat to watch. Side note that the scary story guy does a non horror series in October. Irony, at it's finest. Can't wait for your next video dude!
god, the Sign of the Times DLC had me legit crying when Anna killed herself... and seeing Lincoln's very much honest reaction was the thing that broke me, making me cry during that entire cutscene. i felt so enraged at the cult that i went in with cheats simply to give them NO chance. i was that pissed that i downloaded a Trainer and used it to end them. that was the only time i used it.
Fine work. All the Mafia games are badass. It is too bad mafia 3 was overlooked because I loved it, and yes, Donovan is a badass, but Lincoln Clay was an awesome protagonist that even Donovan admired.
One thing that I wanna say. I was here for a little while, now I'm staying for the journey and stories on the way. You really are awesome for doing this for us, Harry. The fact that you're putting so much effort, time and passion doing what you're doing is just Awesome. Thank you for the awesome stories recaps and explanations you did for us. You're like the guy we all wanna talk with on our favorite subjects of games, characters and lore. You sir, are the real Hero. Mad respect for your work. ❤️✌️😁
excellent video, i had only played mafia 3 back when i was 16-17, never had heard of mafia before so the story was cool but didnt really hit for me, this made everything fall into place a good bit more and made me appreciate 3's story more knowing how it was linked to 2!
Bro how are you alive because this was amazing and idek how much EFFORT it takes to be able to tell the Mafia Games story so well with so many details connected. So much respect! It was fascinating hearing every character's tale. 🤗
When I played this game, I gave everyone the same amount of territory but since I gave Burke his territory last he became the new boss and now New Bordeaux is basically an Urban war zone as gangs vie for control of the city. But, I lie it best when Vito took over control.
I loved Mafia 3, have yet to play the others. I’m glad you decided to cover a different genre of games, it’s a nice change of pace. That being said, I thoroughly enjoy your horror game videos. Keep up the good work🫡
@@charlesthoreson4162 yes, because I had no idea what the Mafia games even were or what they were about. I plan to play em all in chronological order though.
Mafia 1 & 2 had this fantastic way of telling a story in the background. Throughout your main storyline - it's mostly Tommy/Vito doing odd jobs, having fun, cracking jokes & starting a gang war before shit gets serious in the late game. But what's really happening is they're burning bridges, being played or completely misunderstanding what they're even doing. In Mafia 1 - there's this excellent story in the background of Salieri slowly coming undone by power & betrayal. It's unclear when Salieri sanctioned a hit on Tommy, but it may have been on his mind since 1935 - assuming that's when Frank was discovered & whacked. It means Salieri was throwing Tommy at the wall, hoping he'd die on a job. Best make use of the guy at least, y'know? The assassination of Turnbull & the resulting 5 Stat chase, with no backup - might've actually been a set up. Kill 2 birds. Or the pressure for him to fix his drinking habits was actually to keep the guy useful enough, before he's whacked. Or moving in on the drug trade behind his Capo's backs. Did Sam know? Probably, since Salieri let him in on the plan before Tommy & Paulie. Which means Sam was backstabbing his mates long before he shot Paulie. What it also means though - is that Sam sat on the info of the back robbery - went to Salieri, spilt the beans & they both decided to just wait & whack Paulie when home, assuming he had the cash. Maybe even Luigi was in on it, since they never went to Sarah's house, likely through risk of collateral. Rich with details. Love it.
to those wondering the mission at 39:46 you can actually off all the dude's during that mission it's hard but the first dude you see ya just gotta literally beat down quickly and then from there it's all about just being accurate and lucky
I loved mafia 3 it really portrayed the racism in america during the segregation period and showed just how monstrous people were its a hard hitting story with great atmosphere.
My only complaint with the story is that we don't experience it as much because of the stupidly repetitive missions to unlock the actually gripping stuff
Mafia 1 the definitive edition is personally my favorite, i love the roaring 20s era for the mafia, mafia 2 has a wonderful story but i never played the game itself. Mafia 3 has the best story of a man coming back from essential death to take over the entire city, but the game felt way to long and drawn out and the missions got super repetitive, most were run n gun, and quite simple. Id love to see Mafia 4 take place between 1 and 2, show us the life of the mob during the great depression of the 1930s and pre ww2 era
I kinda have to correct you about one of 3 endings in Mafia III. If you chose to leave New Bordeaux, Vito indeed can become the new boss of the city but it can be someone else too. In my own playthrough i got Cassandra. So someone who played MIII got Burke as a boss after Lincoln Clay left the city. I can' remember it's decided by actions we took on our playthroughs or it's completely random Other than that this is the very first video i saw from you and i love it. I love it so much that i subscribed Ps. Why the last DLC - Faster, Baby ! hasn't been talked about ?
I was under the impression you got to choose who took over if you choose to have Lincoln leave town. Personally, I always had Lincoln stay. Someone gotta help out MJ with his growhouse. (Like I would ever give the keys of the city to Cassandra lmao!) If I trust the city with anyone, it would be Vito, the other 2 just fuck up everything Lincoln worked for.
The person who takes over if you choose to leave is dependant on who you give the most territory to while playing the game but a tie always goes to Vito and is the generally accepted “canon” ending
@@ArdillaLoco wasn’t Vito and joe fucking everything up in empire bay though which is why Leo Galante made him and joe a deal and got them the fuck out of there they all have their pros and cons🤷🏾♂️
I was pretty upset with Hangar 13 taking over the franchise, especially since Mafia III was such a step back. However, I'm back on board after the excellent Mafia Definitive Edition. They recently announced a new entry, but said it's still a few years away.
Love to have Joe and Vito to rise up in their own families and be apart of another game or at least be heard about as some ‘old timers who keeps to the old ways’ in the 70’s and 80’s.

Then Salieri behind bars, addressing his acting boss handling business and talking to contacts of cops, feds, and friends of the family. By 1950s the search was over, Salieri called in Falcone favors.

Salieri thinking Frank was killed by Tommy was the main reason I suspected that there would be betrayal at the end of the game. Apparently, Salieri never talked about Frank, his best friend for almost his entire life ever again after his ‘death’. It just made me think if he can let go of someone he’s known and trusted that long that easily, it would be even easier for him to put 2 through your head
There's a theory that Salieri found out pretty early about Frank and the reason that Tommy never heard Salieri talk about Franky afterwards were because he couldn't stand the fact Tommy would've betrayed him on it.
Of course this all assumes that Sam was wanting to betray both Paulie and Tommy years before the bank heist.
@@conscripthornet4430i think he found out later cuz he was actually grooming Tommy to be he is next in line for a while. He was the perfect successor in every way tougher than Sam but is smart and more charismatic than paulie. He might have even forgiven Tommy if he and paulie didn’t rob the bank
@@conscripthornet4430Frank made it too easy to find him so I can believe that. One of Salieri’s contacts in Italy probably told him pretty soon after that his old consigliere was alive and frequently attending dog races which is something both Frank and Salieri were into.
I don’t think Salieri ordered the death of Frank’s wife and daughter but that is a hallmark difference the American vs. Sicilian mob. The Sicilian mob would clean house on your entire bloodline so that none of your relatives(who are socially obligated) can directly or indirectly seek revenge. Which is why they went after wives and daughters too because of that indirect revenge aspect.
I like how Tommy just got offed, almost unceremoniously. In the end he ended up just like everyone he killed himself, a stepping stone for a couple youngers to rise through the ranks.
I don't. I loved Tommy. Best protagonist hands down in the series
It reminds me of the Rat in the first season of the Sopranos. He had a remarkable career as a member of the mafia, then left and had a whole new life and family in Maine, until Tony comes along, strangles him with a cord, and leaves him dead in the dirt. It shows that associating with the mafia is a deal with the devil no matter what: if you stay in then youll likely get killed by a rival or police, or end up with a lifelong prison bid. If you get out youll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life, and the moment you let your guard down the men you once called blood brothers will put you down without a second thought for your treachery. As badass as the mafia or any other gang is, its a poison that latches on to you the second you go near it and it takes an act of God to get it off.

@@HugoStiglitz88 in my opinion he got the best ending out of any character. He got in some trouble and saved his own ass, then he went on to live a solid chunk of life building his own family, when his time came he took it like a champ and his family was left unharmed
@@HugoStiglitz88 it's how the life usually goes
1:04:45 "You can pray on the way up" damn that was cold.
I mean they left him heated.
You have a fantastic way of concisely, coherently, and enthrallingly, unpack narratives while keeping them as compelling as they were in their original forms.
I know right? I usually clean while I listen to it and I can actually pay attention because how clear his narrative is
And you sir have an impeccable understanding of the English language
The British general speaking are the best at it. It is why when you watch documentaries with British narrators, you take in so much more information and are able to retain it much more easily.
@@LandonVR Well said, both of you
I did not realize the mafia story was this compelling
Might have to pick up the new one when it comes out
You should definitely buy the trilogy if you have the chance
As a child i H4TED the fact that nobody knew about Mafia, just like "Gun".
Im glad that they get the recognition now, better late than never.
Yea i thought the mafia franchise was just guys doing criminal stuff while shooting but no there is a masterpiece of a story within the franchise

For the part where Henry finds Leo, I swear you can actually beat the mission without being caught. I SWEAR I remember driving Leo to the airport in his car instead of getting the cutscene in the kitchen
I think it has something to do with climbing out of the window with Leo before henry finds you
Yes, if I remember correctly, you can find some sheets and then use them to climb down the balcony. From there you then take Leo's car and escape to the train station.
This is correct. There are several ways to complete this mission, and some of the ways you can get caught result in an automatic fail instead of Henry letting him go. I always climb out the window and take Leo's car.
there are 3 option where u fail hiding under the bed,in the closet and in the shower and 1 where u escape if u take the bed sheets that are in a clothes basket and escape trough the balcony in a car
@@bmt2k0 you can also walk out the back door and the front door
The final conversation with Sal Marcano is one of my favorite scenes in gaming to be honest. Just love that they're just talking, no glorified last stand with Sal vs Lincoln. Sal knows he's done for and just accepts it.
Also love how there's multiple ways to kill Sal in the end.
And it varies which Marcano sibling you killed last. I like both. But as who dies first, it shows how desperate Sal is to get things back on track
Well, the whole thing before that _was_ his last stand.
I love the fact that instead of just recaping on the story of all the games, you actually add in some extra lore like with Tommy's backstory, Empire Bay's history or the origins of the Haitian Mob. Much appreciated
I got into the mafia games with mafia 2 with Vito, but when I got to mafia 1 and saw the ending my mind got blown and was like "hold on, wait a God dang second..." 😂
It was a great way to tie the two together.
Wished 2 got the same type of DE remake that 1 did, though. Mafia 2 is my all-time favorite out of the three, and I would have loved to have seen Vito and the world with the new engine upgrades, but the storytelling for all of these games are just amazing (which is what really counts the most). Highly recommend people play them if they have never.
@@TwoBs wait did they not remake 1 and 2 similarly??
@@dillon9458 Mafia 1 was a remake amd Mafia 2 was a remaster
@@Luca_Talis ahhh okay
@@TwoBsWhat's the point? Remaking a game from the 360 era is pointless, because aside from graphics which still hold up okay, the gameplay is completely up to par with every other major open world game. This isn't like when they remade one, where the gameplay was very much of the era before everything became standardized.
Absolutely love this. The story is incredible and the way the end it with a potential expansion/future dlc speech about Donovan going after the conspiracy ring is 10/10
It’s a shame that Mafia III is such a buggy (and poorly paced) mess because the story and characters are awesome. Donovan is EASILY one of my favorite characters. Of course being very well acted helps a TON but man, that credits scene is just immaculate 🤌🏻
@@ZephyrusBlue Honestly at this point with all the updates Mafia 3 got I didn't get a single bug during my play through and I ended up getting more bugs playing Mafia 2 than 3 (to be fair it was Mafia 2 Definitive Edition and I probably shoulda just played the original PC version or emulated the PS3 version) with one bug making me stop playing entirely cause it's a progression bug that I'd have to go back to my last save and play for another hour to get back to the part I was at I think it was going back and talking to the loan shark it's been like 8 months so I barely remember but the story was at least good enough that I wish they'd remake it like they did the first game.
All that being said Mafia 3 was just boring and repetitive and the story coulda probably just been told with a much shorter game cause clearing all the gang operations and everything was just grindy filler that distracts from the real meat of the game which is the fantastic story.
@@theninjamaster67 not to discredit you or anything but I sincerely doubt this. Back when I made this comment I was actually in the middle of going through another run to try and get some bugged trophies and there was PLENTY of visual bugs still in the game. Need to look no further than a mirror to witness them in action. The game just hates reflections of all kinds tbh
@@ZephyrusBlue oh shut up man. 3 was not buggy at all. I played it from day 1 and saw 1 bug and it had me laughing my ass off.
@@HugoStiglitz88 bro, you’re talking to someone who still enjoyed the game but to ignore the jank is just crazy, I’m just being honest.
Edit: removed the redundant comment about reflections because I’ve already mentioned it in the past. An alarming amount of time has passed since I originally commented here lol.
Father James: Lincon don't do it, the city doesn't need this kind of damage
Lincon: Actively makes the city a better place.
Father James was still salty 😂
How?💀
@@dgotcookies well he helps rebuild the hollow and gets the theme park back open. Father James explains it all in the end cutscene before saying Lincoln expands across the south. “If it made money Lincoln was apart of it”
@@Chicken_Wing91 yea but correct me if im wrong, didn't he become a boss and participate in the same mafia stuff that Vito and the other underbosses were doing. It's just gonna be more crime more mafia wars and all that it's a cycle. All he did was rebuild a place to then rule it and rebuild a theme park

Im not sure if its intentional or not but i loved it
During the Angelo's assassination by Vito and Joe, on the mafia 1 remake the view was much warmer because Angelo has finally accepted his fate and died peacefully
And on mafia 2 remastered, it was much colder because Vito and Joe was running on thin ice with everyone trying to kill them
Well if you played it by order, youll experience both. From a calm accepting death to a dire situation for both Vito and Joe
how was gettin blasted on by a shotgun dying peacefully
@@ron4L_34it’s less about actually dying peacefully physically but more so mentally accepting his death and passing with the knowledge that he lived a full life before his actions through life caught upto him. So mentally he passed peacefully in a sense.
@@compassrose1466how can you mentally peacefully accept that death knowing you left a family behind you, and your grandchildrens grandchildrens knowing that's how you went out with a terrible image
@@dgotcookiesbecause the Family got Tommy's life, that's what they wanted. They were going to get him eventually, and if you were in his shoes you'd much rather die right then, alone, then somewhere later down the line and potentially have your family get caught in the crossfire like with Sergio's mistress
I know that Mafia 3 in the eyes of others wasn’t a true Mafia game, but the writing behind it was pretty great.
From this break down, it seems that Mafia 3 has the best story out of all of them. It's pretty cool to see Lincoln rise up and utterly destroy the Mercano family and rise to power
I agree the problem with mafia 3 in my eyes was the lack of variety in how Lincoln takes down the rackets and what you do between story beats.
But the world and writing were A1.
The problem is Mafia 3 has such an unbearable grind. I've tried 3 times to beat it and each time I've given up.
@@Ren99510 and here's me who never got tired of this grind and already beat the game 2 times
@@Ren99510 if mafia 3’s grind is unbearable you’re not a gamer done beat it twice and had 800k both times😂
You also missed out on the 2 other ending as the "Vito Ending" isn't the only one. The reason on the 3 endings is dependent on how many districts you've given to your underbosses and the one with the most would have a alt ending.
If you gave Burke most of the ending, Burke would become the defacto leader of the gang that Lincoln left behind and instead of running it well, he turned New Bordeaux into a land of total debauchery.
By Nicki's words (Thomas Burke's daughter), after Lincoln left, they found cancer cells on Thomas's liver and was stated that he would be dead by at least six months but he took the money he earned and went to Mexico and switch for a new liver thru the black market and went on to survive for another 15 years. During that period, he went on and expand the criminal empire of New Bordeaux by expanding on booze and finally drugs with him shipping heroin at first before expanding on cocaine which he became the biggest distributor of narcotics in the entire of the US. Burke got soo rich from illicit activities that he became one of the richest fella in the entire of the Southern US and because of that, he was able to buy a seat in the city council and even had the entire state changing it's name from New Bordeaux to "Bourbon City".
However, being the biggest narcotics distributor has it's price as every criminal syndicate wants a slice of the pie and during the 1980s, all hell broke loose when the Cuban gang declared war on Burke's operations and during the entire period, acts of terrorism was happening across the city with car bombs, kidnappings, murders, shootout on broad daylight and brothels burnt to the ground. With his operation under threat, the Cubans finally sealed the deal and called Burke out. Not going down without a fight, in 1984, Burke took an M60 machine guns and a few grenades to assault the Cubans alone. He did kill a few of the Cubans but he didn't survive the attack and instead got taken out by the Cubans. Since then, none of the top bosses after Burke had managed to sit down on the seat for more than a year and New Bordeaux till the time of the 2010s was still a lawless paradise.
If you gave Cassandra the ending, Cassandra and the Haitian Mob would be the defacto leader of the gang that Lincoln left behind and instead of running it well, she turned New Bordeaux into a hellhole and did ruin the whole economical structure of the city and even to an extent, the entire god damn state.
When Lincoln passed on his mantle to Cassandra, almost all major criminal organization known by man that spans from Boston to Miami that respected that order and everyone went for her blood including the Cubans, the Commission, the Columbians and some say even the Triads but none of these organization knew who they were fighting and how much of deep shit had they stepped into.
One by one, they lost their leader by murder with Johnny Galante being slit in the throat while watching a porn flick in a porn theater, Manny Moreno being burnt alive during his daughter's 15th birthday party, Severo Garcia being buried in the sand right along the beach and drowned when the waves covered him up and Anton Bagrov being beaten to death with a crowbar. Things got soo bad that more and more mobsters and organizations went after Cassandra time and time again with relentless firepower but each time, they failed and came out worse.
Things got soo bad that the governor declared martial law and brought in the National Guard to maintain order but Cassandra has other plans as she ordered the assassination of the governor who was then shot in the head, in broad daylight, right outside the steps of the capitol building and that's when people realized that Cassandra effectively runs New Bordeaux and no one can touch her but they were wrong... VERY wrong.
By assassinating the governor in broad daylight, Cassandra has messed with an enemy that she could not even win and that's the government. When the news reached the senate, they decided to pull all government grants and fundings to the entire state of Louisiana in retaliation of what Cassandra did by cutting school funds, maintenance works fess and all kinds of supportive grants in order to force the people to push Cassandra out while bankrupting the state.
When the massive hurricane of 2004 hit Louisiana, it was soo devastating and with the state in disrepair even before the hurricane hit, the city couldn't rebuild and is still in a dilapidated state in the 2010s and almost all had nicknamed the hurricane as "Hurricane Cassandra" upon the devastation of how these 2 had brought to the whole state.
However, the condition and how Cassandra turned out to be was still a mystery as the game ends as some had said that she was killed and got swept away by the tides during the hurricane whereas some had stated that she had hidden out of sight and had hid in the Bayou to restructure another bounce back from there but as people said, god knows how she is now.
I enjoyed reading this
You put WAY too much effort into this text. Greatly written
So, I can end the crime world and get Lincoln out of it at the same time, I know who's getting the city in my playthrough....
It proves how valuable Vito is when he's the only one (except Lincoln) who doesn't fuck everything up. Yes, Cassandra is a badass but overall Vito and Lincoln make ot actually work.
@@channel45853 No you don't end the crime world, you just end everything you work for and whatever was captured becomes rival gang territory
A small point: the whiskey deal with the Kentucky suppliers doesn't last because only a few months later Prohibition ends, which kills that business.
Nice fun fact !
Easily one of my favorite franchises. Some of the most compelling crime story telling in the game industry. I'm glad of the audience it has, but its level of recognition still isn't enough.
Just like the yakuza series doesn’t get enough recognition
I think people just straight up don't even know. people don't know how good the series is and just see it as another GTA when it's so different.
@@detectivehan5717 yakuza's been getting a ton of recognition though lately. Btw, is yakuza's story really good? I've been curious for a while it's just 6 games or whatever is A LOT (I'm not playing the turn based one though)
Big reason is that mafia 1 came out in shadow of gta 3 and i think it got more popular when hangar 13 bought (mafia 3 creators) bought 2k czech (mafia 1,2 creators)
Hey, just noticed you missed an integral point of the Mafia relations in #2. The $5000 that the guy charges joe and the player to "join" his family is actually a slight and once the other families find out that he's trying to charge people to join his family, it's a big part of taking him out.
This is my first comment on your channel and it's amazing the way you lay everything out in a concise way that makes it easy to take in the info without getting confused. Great job.
Nice ty
2 hour video from my favourite RUclipsr??? Wait let me get the popcorn and drinks!
I saw how long this video was got my blanket my snacks and drinks and just went in
Yesirrr
Hear, hear!!!
This is like watching a movie
Best part about the first game is Tommy's wife and kids was untouchable, she was in the game from a kid and the Don seeing her as his god daughter its why Tommy's last words was "youre safe, you're all now safe" thats OG gangster respect. She never did ask questions, even if she did she'd never rat. "Marry me." "Okay." So loving but so blunt because she was a good wife and loyal to the family. I loved their marriage aspect
Thats what i like About The remake its that we got to see more storylines like paulie wanting to open an restaurant or tommys and saras relationship in more depth
I'm a new viewer to this series and I must say I really like how you tell long stories with breaks to tell a bit about characters. Same how you did with the Outlast series. The breaks never just cut in and they provide good character information rather than just throwing a whole bunch of names at the viewer. I really love this format.
23:06
"Don't let him suffer, boys. He's my buddy..."
_As they say, Family is Family but Business ALWAYS comes first, above all else..._
"Tommy, I'm 35 years old and I ain't got nothin' to show for it but my funko pop collection"
I wasnt expecting the franchise to get so good in Mafia III. Lincoln is such a compelling character, making good use of his special forces' skills. I like his sense of flair. What a journey.
😲
21:14 There is a slight change in story here, In the original version Pauli and Tommy are only told about the cigars and they find that there are diamonds in the cigar boxes, Saleri never traded drugs on the original version
@@thegamingcook785 Right. *Especially* since in the start, we remember Salieri saying you can deal in everything EXCEPT dope. That while Morello can poison his people, Salieri won't.
I think at this point all three of them began to realize that Salieri has changed, and not for the better.
There are many more or less little story changes between the original and the remake. They decided to embellish the story a bit and tell it in more detail. The results are differences between the two games. I'm still not sure if I like or hate it. For me it feels like the whole Salieri feeling and even Tommy's character changed too much from the original.
I wish we could’ve taken Sarah out more and spent time with her and the kids. To really maximize why Tony wanted out.
@@jBurn_well there are good things like paulies storyline About wanting to open a restaurant and tommys and saras relationship more in depth but then you have things like salieri with those drugs and fucking armored vehicle on The farm
Original: 'Friendship is shit', remake: 'Family is forever'. A big change, I say.
Absolutely love it that you did this. Mafia is originally from my country and its a piece of art that we mostly appreciate, both the original Mafia 1 and 2 and even the remake was pretty well done. Thank you for doing this, very appreciated.
Fantastic, so glad you're branching out from just horror stuff!!
Man, I truly loved Mafia 2. The story of that game is just so good.
I hope mafia 4 has the same vibe as 2. If it is a prequel they can make it similar like salieri and frank climbs the ranks of mafia lifestyle, but I don’t mind if it’s like godfather that is also a masterpiece and it will prob be like that cuz the timeline

When I played this game, I gave everyone the same amount of territory but since I gave Burke his territory last he became the new boss and now New Bordeaux is basically an Urban war zone as gangs vie for control of the city. But, I lie it best when Vito took over control.

This video is freaking fantastic. Must've taken days and days of work. Well, it was worth it. GG. Earned yourself a sub.
Mafia 1 & 2 had this fantastic way of telling a story in the background.
Throughout your main storyline - it's mostly Tommy/Vito doing odd jobs, having fun, cracking jokes & starting a gang war before shit gets serious in the late game.
But what's really happening is they're burning bridges, being played or completely misunderstanding what they're even doing.
In Mafia 1 - there's this excellent story in the background of Salieri slowly coming undone by power & betrayal.
It's unclear when Salieri sanctioned a hit on Tommy, but it may have been on his mind since 1935 - assuming that's when Frank was discovered & whacked. It means Salieri was throwing Tommy at the wall, hoping he'd die on a job. Best make use of the guy at least, y'know? The assassination of Turnbull & the resulting 5 Stat chase, with no backup - might've actually been a set up. Kill 2 birds. Or the pressure for him to fix his drinking habits was actually to keep the guy useful enough, before he's whacked.
Or moving in on the drug trade behind his Capo's backs. Did Sam know? Probably, since Salieri let him in on the plan before Tommy & Paulie. Which means Sam was backstabbing his mates long before he shot Paulie.
What it also means though - is that Sam sat on the info of the back robbery - went to Salieri, spilt the beans & they both decided to just wait & whack Paulie when home, assuming he had the cash. Maybe even Luigi was in on it, since they never went to Sarah's house, likely through risk of collateral.
Rich with details. Love it.
Amazing summary of these games, great job!
This is an incredibly well put together video
The 1 thing i like about mafia is that there are actual traffic laws... Helps you immerse in the game.
Playing mafia 2 has a kid blew my mind to the evolution of gaming, the nude mags were equally kind blowing to kid me 😂
Same 😂
to those wondering the mission at 39:46 you can actually off all the dude's during that mission it's hard but the first dude you see ya just gotta literally beat down quickly and then from there it's all about just being accurate and lucky
I like the first 2 games are “Im loyal to the mob” and the third is just “the mob is going to fear god then die”
I loved mafia 3 it really portrayed the racism in america during the segregation period and showed just how monstrous people were its a hard hitting story with great atmosphere.
They balanced it well. Not like the woke crap nowadays
@@mcj2219. Look up the definition of woke.
@@mcj2219 'WOKE' lol.
the story was good, everything else felt repetitive
My only complaint with the story is that we don't experience it as much because of the stupidly repetitive missions to unlock the actually gripping stuff
The Mafia games are criminally (pun intended) underrated.
This is without a doubt my favorite gaming series of all time I choose mafia over gta every time GREAT VIDEO
Mafia 1 the definitive edition is personally my favorite, i love the roaring 20s era for the mafia, mafia 2 has a wonderful story but i never played the game itself. Mafia 3 has the best story of a man coming back from essential death to take over the entire city, but the game felt way to long and drawn out and the missions got super repetitive, most were run n gun, and quite simple. Id love to see Mafia 4 take place between 1 and 2, show us the life of the mob during the great depression of the 1930s and pre ww2 era
Mafia 1 takes places from 1930-1938
This is such a good video that kept me entertained even if I played the games!!!!
I know it’s so much work for you but I LOVE these long ass videos 😂
I kinda have to correct you about one of 3 endings in Mafia III. If you chose to leave New Bordeaux, Vito indeed can become the new boss of the city but it can be someone else too. In my own playthrough i got Cassandra. So someone who played MIII got Burke as a boss after Lincoln Clay left the city. I can' remember it's decided by actions we took on our playthroughs or it's completely random
Other than that this is the very first video i saw from you and i love it. I love it so much that i subscribed
Ps. Why the last DLC - Faster, Baby ! hasn't been talked about ?
I was under the impression you got to choose who took over if you choose to have Lincoln leave town. Personally, I always had Lincoln stay. Someone gotta help out MJ with his growhouse. (Like I would ever give the keys of the city to Cassandra lmao!) If I trust the city with anyone, it would be Vito, the other 2 just fuck up everything Lincoln worked for.
The person who takes over if you choose to leave is dependant on who you give the most territory to while playing the game but a tie always goes to Vito and is the generally accepted “canon” ending
I killed cassandra in my playthrough 😂
@@jacobsims1201 Huh fr ? I divided the city evenly i think
@@ArdillaLoco wasn’t Vito and joe fucking everything up in empire bay though which is why Leo Galante made him and joe a deal and got them the fuck out of there they all have their pros and cons🤷🏾♂️
I was pretty upset with Hangar 13 taking over the franchise, especially since Mafia III was such a step back. However, I'm back on board after the excellent Mafia Definitive Edition. They recently announced a new entry, but said it's still a few years away.
🎉you gotta drop more videos. I miss hearing gaming information from you bro it’s always interesting how you put things together 💯
wow man you put a lot of work into this long ass vid 😅 I know it's gonna be a good day when I get my gaming Harry notification lol
Dear god thank you!!! I reallly needed something to watch and I love your content!!
The soundtrack of Mafia 3 stay undefeated in gaming, that Vietnam Era sound is top
I fucking love those Entire [Game] Story, they're so full details and greatly explained the story. I can't wait to see more.
Love to have Joe and Vito to rise up in their own families and be apart of another game or at least be heard about as some ‘old timers who keeps to the old ways’ in the 70’s and 80’s.
Appreciate the upload, especially for a phenomenal story.
absolutely fantastic video!!
I didn't know about these games, but HOLY CRAP! The voice acting and the end there was amazing.
