The man deserves his own game as the main protagonist. The most entertaining and interesting character in the whole game. If 2K don't make a spin-off game with Donovan, they're missing one hell of a golden opportunity. Even if the gameplay was repetitive and average, I'd pay full price just because Donovan is in it. Best video game NPC ever!
I'm 70% sure Mafia 3 is getting a DLC based on that last cutscene about JFK. Whether or not we'll get to play as dovonan, I'm not so sure, but I know a DLC based around Donovan is coming for sure.
Did you help Lincoln Clay murder Sal Marcano and all prominent members of his crime family? *Donovan leans back and smirks while CCR starts playing* You're goddamn right I did. Hands down, best scene in the game.
@@BOSSMOPS. Would you like me to remind you who kicked Germany's ass in both world wars for you when you turned out to weak to do it yourself? Or how about who kept the soviets from chainin you up? Oh right, it was us!
9:11 I love the little polite ''Sorry'' hand gesture he did for yelling. Then 2 minutes later proceeds to shoot him. Shit like this is why I love this character
So basically regardless whatever you decide in this game Donovan picks up where Lincoln left off on whacking and assassinating mob bosses but in his case anyone responsible for the murder of President Kennedy. Ex-CIA operative on a patriotic mission
@@botgamingthebad Woods is a soldier, Donovan's more like a fancy version of him, and smarter one, cuz he's CIA...yo know? Woods doesn't give a damn about mud, blood and this whole stuff on him....Donovan, on the other hand, wouldn't be so chilled w/ this sort of stuff on his suit.
Lol and you shouldn't have said no didn't make your head explode? That scene blew me away. That was a twist that I sincerely had to give a bravo to, just like the ending in this one. I love John Donovan he's my favorite. I want to see a game where him and Vito scalleta are working together and maybe they are all that's left of Lincoln's empire and they're out to just kill every last scumbag motherfucker we've seen in the series. That honestly even sounds like how ol' John-don would've said it.
Gregunit They can call it CIA instead of Mafia. Or, here's a thought, if Rockstar aren't doing anything with Agent, perhaps Take Two can take that title and name the Donovan game "Agent". It seems more appropriate, actually.
*Don John* 🙌 Whoever delivered the voice of John, really sold the part at 09:51 - that voice crack as he he told what he did over there, made me feel what he was about to tell. Sheeee he did this good.
@@moviewriter93 nah, Kennedy wanted to clip Fed's wings, so he got shot. Hussein changed his oil trading currency to euro, they hung his ass. Gaddafi wanted to introduce gold-based currency, he got dragged out of the hole and torn apart. See the pattern there?
@@tahitiplanderlinde8640 Donovan is the type of guy who definitely does not care about anyone’s feelings, but he’s definitely the man you want to have your back in any situation.
9:18 that was amazing down to how he looked. Definitely my favorite character in the series, definitely more than clay (LC reminds me of connor from AC3).
The objectives themselves were repetitive, although I really liked the mechanics in terms of movement and stealth, moving from cover to cover during shootouts felt cool
So Donovan is anti communist, anti fascist, anti white supremacists and a patriot. Yeah, I think this guy ticks all the spots to make him a great man in my eyes.
@@mingchenwei1978 Yes, unfortunately he also tortured and killed a civilian to save some of his fellow americans. But he still has more qualities than bad things. Not a saint, definetely, but a good man.
Meeting represents the army jrotc student leaders attempting to kick me out instead of me cutting a women Apart it's me sitting in a down pour building a camp for my team
Utterly loved Clay, loved Donovan. Enjoyed the hell out of this game, which is saying something cause it was repetitive as fuck but the story held it up and made it all worth while.
That " you god damn right i did" always will be badass to me. So chill and cocky at the same time about taking down the mob...plus it leads into my favorite song😂😂
Truly a bro of incalculable magnitude. A buddy who shed blood in the jungle with him calls him up looking for revenge, Donavan moves heaven and earth to help him.
I don't know why but the way Donavan smiles everytime he remembers doing something like helping Lincoln take down sal marcano's family in different ways is just absolute savage 😂
7:34 I think it’s insanely telling that Sammy didn’t kill the man who double crossed him, just kicked him out of the Hollow. Sammy clearly was a much better person than portrayed.
Easily one of the best post-credits scenes in gaming. Donovan was among my favourite characters in Mafia III and it was so great to see him deliver such a badass scene to close the game on!
When this cutscene was playing when I beat the game, I was about to go to the bathroom when Donovan yelled: "SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP", which I did and waited until the cutscene ended. It was hard, but it was worth it xD
Donovan is a great character. I want him as a DLC. (just so cool about every response and not guilty about it. Then walks out like a badsss after shooting the senator.)
Senator: "Did you help Lincoln Clay murder Sal Marcano and all prominent members of his crime family?" **Bad Moon rising starts playing** Donovan: "Your goddamn right I did." One of the best seconds in gaming history in my book! xD
Literally my favorite aspect of this game were these scenes and Donovan as a character Damn shame they didn’t let us play as him or make a game centred around him
@@gusmansyah3002 lol no doubt. I ended up playing it like 4 times, so I could get all the trophies. First I kept all the hustles even, so the bosses wouldn’t beef. Then beat it with each boss. It’s a really fun game though. I’m sure I’ll break it out again at some point.
Hanger 13 could actually make a new game called Warpath and just reanimate Lincoln in certain areas and new story revolving Donovan as the main protagonist involving his personal path to take down anyone against the state and his time in Vietnam.
Give Donovan 1 week. Give him a Silenced 1911, maybe couple of ammo crates and a Mobile Intelligence Center like in Mafia 3 and he'll be president of the USA by Friday.
I really love this story and this character, i love everything of him and in Italian his voice it's perfect for him and his personality, a strong soldier, a brillant man whit a lot of style, intelligent in all his moves, perfect work.
Senator Blake: I don't remember. At home I believe.
Donovan: I d0nT rEmEmBeR. aT h0mE I bElIeVe.
Put Donovan at the end with a angry emoji and the water gun
I don’t get it.

x6x-Bl4cKBuRn-x9x oh now I know what u mean
At the very least, there should be a DLC or spinoff game where we play as john Donovan and eliminate the conspirators behind the JFK assassination.
Nicholas Blemel sounds not bad
I agree
Yeah, but I am not sure how people would react to that, that is if there are even conspirators behind such a thing.
EmporerAaron saying there's no conspirators in the assassination of jfk is like saying the earth is flat.
Nicholas Blemel that would be great
that last part was so unexpected.
It was surreal.

Drip&Rip Reviews I knew that scene was coming. I was expecting it.
John wouldn't work with Vito though, John wanted Lincoln to not only kill Vito, but Burke and Cassandra
Yeah
I will be disappointed if mafia 4 is not about John
He doesn't have much to do with the actual Mafia, so I doubt that.
Gregunit They can call it CIA instead of Mafia. Or, here's a thought, if Rockstar aren't doing anything with Agent, perhaps Take Two can take that title and name the Donovan game "Agent". It seems more appropriate, actually.
Gregunit I think this part concludes in one of the three major DLC's for Mafia 3 where Lincoln and Donovan work together.
Maybe the next game could be about the Bratva (Russian mob)
ShefSale21 they aren't gonna do the Russian mob either it's donovan or the Irish crime family's in detroit
They really made you love the characters in this game
CM Suprah except cassandra.
Chromonite She's annoying
Theratking23 Lincoln shutting her ass down constantly was fantastic though.
Damn straight
Yeah but not the game itself
if Licoln can bring the whole Marcano mob down. Imagine what Donovan can do...

Donovan is the brain. and Lincoln is the muscle.

i think there is a dlc on him in spring
I just love how Donovan defends Lincoln and considers him his friend.
Some best storytelling in recent years, ruined by repetitive gameplay and probably rushed production.
The Story and Soundtrack keep me interested
Rigby Yeah its pretty good but now with this i found out gameplay is the most important in the long run.
The objectives themselves were repetitive, although I really liked the mechanics in terms of movement and stealth, moving from cover to cover during shootouts felt cool

Hangar 13 seems to love that movie. The Hartmann rifle, the outfit, tons of references...

man how is it video games get it so right . but Hollywood get it so wrong..
Tom Britton its because hollywood is runned by politics witch is why views on politics is so pg-13 in movies!
I know. There are a few good movies every now and then, but mostly just recycled crap
Because politics run Hollywood. If this was a movie people would probably be getting assassinated
But wait I thought this game was pc bullcrap tho
Ditto no bias
Badass ending with fortunate son
TRUEEEEEE

Pretty much how mafia 1 & 2 can feel like at times
When Donovan started the interview his ashtray is empty but at the end it full 😂😂😂
Lincoln dressed into a waiter but he had that army haircut and a scar on his head
HOW DID NO ONE NOTICED THERE IS SOMETHIG STRANGE
“Put a black man in a uniform and he’s damn near invisible.”
Seeing as this is during Vietnam - is it really weird a veteran (especially a Vietnam veteran and ESPECIALLY a black one) would work as a waiter
Playable donovan in future dlc, please?
Twocoolman115 that's exactly what I was thinking, I like your comment.
Would also be cool if he was the main character of a posible next game. Unless the company said they weren't making more.
John Donovan better be the main character for Mafia 4
I honestly admire Donovan’s respect for Lincoln.
