      It would make for an interesting movie but not so much of an interesting action game. Michael Franzese mainly handled oil tax affairs and other things like that,but he didn't participate in hits. Judging from bits of his biography that I read, I don't think he ever had to fire a gun.

      The target is only there if he betrays the Colombo. From what I remember him saying when he spoke at Baylor, he said he made it very clear to his family that he wasn't going to sell anyone out, he was just done. To my knowledge, they've respected that and he hasn't been an informant.

      @@KennyakaTI True and it could be he just doesn't mind but if you see alot of the former mobsters (although fewer now since many of them have started to die from getting old) that would be on whatever kinda documantary talking about the life. You get the sense that it's literally the only thing they can do to make a living.
      I'm not saying they were helpless and had no choice in the matter, but odds are if you lived in a particular place in a particular time and you decided that you weren't going to be part of that life. That life could still find it's way to you if you got remotely successful. As in you owned a little mom and pop shop and managed to make a profit to feed your family suddenly someone would show up demanding a cut. They managed to put nice words like "tribute" and "respect" on it by comparing themselves to Romans, when in reality they pretty much ran their business as if they were the Soviet Union. Which is so funny because they would pride themselves on being capitalists.

      He really seemed relatable mainly in the human context, Tommy wouldn't pull the trigger on the kid in the car (Paulie did instead) also Paulie noticed this in Tommy and told him he had better get used to it. Also Tommy was shocked when the girl died in the car bomb (you could tell he really didn't want that to happen to her) another is where in the first game or the OG Tommy (not on Sams orders) lets the Whore go and we all know Tommy let Frank live. He broke so many rules in the mob but he had such a human side that lacked a bit in later Mafia games.

    • @lufsolitaire5351
      @lufsolitaire5351 2 года назад +26

      Yea, Vito and Joe were probably the funniest but I think I liked Tommy on the basis of depth and that he started out as this normal,reasonable guy just trying to get through life who got dragged into the life; somewhat because it kind of just happened but also because he wanted to escape poverty(during the Great Depression after all) and not be a victim. The DE to me showed the complexity of his situation and that while he’s done awful things, still had a good heart underneath and there were some things that were just too far. He didn’t have the guts to murder Frank or Michelle, he understood Frank’s reasons for getting out and couldn’t fault him for being tired of looking king over his shoulder and knowing at some point Salieri would dispose of him. Maybe it was a screw up, but I think Frank like Tommy got tired of being paranoid and indulged in his hobbies like dog racing even when it got him killed.

      Considering Gambino has been dead for a long time, that would be quite a trick.

      For anyone curious, you should just be able to go up to him and hit whatever button prompt it tells you (for ps4, it was circle). I did ask around for where he is before I went to assassinate him though so that could also be a factor.
