This game (Mafia 2) is set in Empire City. It's a fictional town based on prominent locations in the US such as NYC and Boston. The first game (Mafia 1) takes place in another fictional city called Lost Haven, inspired by Chicago. And the third game is a reimaging of New Orleans. Each of the games is loosely connected to a real city, so that's why everything feels familiar. Since you're a fan of the GTA and Yakuza games then you'll enjoy the Mafia games, they're practically the same thing but set in the 1900s. While the open worlds for these games aren't as interactive and the pacing could feel slow at times, they make up for it by telling a more serious/gripping narrative. You can download the first two Mafia games on PSN for free. I think you have to pay for the third one tho which sucks. A new Mafia game is set to release this summer called Mafia: The Old Country. It serves as a prequel to the first game. I'm looking forward to it.

@blazelightzero595 I might give it a try since it doesn't look too complicated lol

@@LonandoSFX Yeah Mafia is one of those "realistic" games where everything is made to look and feel more practical and authentic rather than snappy and arcady. That's its main appeal. The first game is more like that than the rest in the series. In the original game released in 2002, you had to strictly drive safe and obey the rules of the road in between missions. The remastered version of the game (Mafia: Definitive Edition) in 2020 ditched most of that simulation game design for a typical modern experience, but you still have the option to revert to how the game originally played if you want to know how hard gamers had it back in the day. 😁

Bro, I just realized I unintentionally made the main character "Vito" look like that (I retitled the video accordingly 😁) Also, let me know if you found the "secret" in the description... 👀

Thank you! I really stretched my creative spark with this rendition of my OC. The biggest challenge was figuring out the color scheme for the top and bottom portions of her outfits, mainly the simple top and boots.

@@blazelightzero595 She looks nice. I did two holiday cas myself!

@@shadowlight9962 I think I saw one or two of them from your channel sometime earlier. They look nice! I'm pretty sure one of them was a Taki CAS if I remember correctly

@@blazelightzero595 A naughty and nice elf. "Unwrap Me" and "Candy Cane."

It's just 2B in a maid outfit lol Tearing her "armor" off will also get your video age restricted 💀

@@Amesang Yeah it's just a very stylish 2B customization. Regarding their armor, I like seeing it as having extra "mobility"

I know, I know; just a not-so-coy remark regarding the big "2B" on her body. 🤪

@@LasciviousSin Same to you too! I think I'm more comfortable with Taki than anyone else.

@blazelightzero595 once I get better with 2b I'll be unstoppable and get my revenge:3

@@LasciviousSin I'll look forward to it player 😉

@blazelightzero595 I'm just posting some of my fights so I won't lose them XD

Those backshots with the sword were crazy (don't get any funny ideas 😏) Also you were right, the video did get age-restricted lol

@blazelightzero595 💀💀💀 lmao sorry bout that. I should probably change it so that her "armor" doesn't break lol

@LonandoSFX To be fair we were both stripped naked at the end. I'm indifferent about the monetization anyways. I post my videos for fun/entertainment. 😁

That guard break saved me ngl 😅

@@LonandoSFX wait were you bout to upload again?

​@@blazelightzero595 nah lol. Just didn't expect to be so early lol

@@LonandoSFX Oh no worries. I fell asleep and woke up hours later.

It may not look like it but this is actually Kit's 4th attempt at defeating Amy. 😅 I dunno what it is about Cervantes's AI but I swear in most battles his play style is too defensive. Also Kit's design is based on the playable characters in the MMO "Wildstar" released in 2014. It was well received, but the game quickly died. But I can see how you can relate her to Sami. They do look similar by coincidence lol.

I figured that's what your video was referencing. That's a cool tidbit from the funny sword game. 👍

@@OneEyedGxd Thanks man! ✌️ I still need to get back to playing it. Just haven't had the time to.

I never thought I'd play let alone get into BG3, but it's been a lot of fun. I've never played a hardcore RPG before (the genre is not my cup of tea) but it's been fun experiencing the world with my brother. If you do consider buying it then I'd definitely recommend looking up a beginners guide or playing with a friend who's well versed on the game/DND before hopping on because there's a lot of reading and technical stuff to understand.

@@blazelightzero595 The guide route is probably will be the way I go, because the people that friend me on Steam, don't ask me to play with them.

I've been waffling about getting it, but my biggest issue is that it takes place in the "Forgotten Realms" and my favorite _D&D_ character, Quintessa, is from "The World of Greyhawk" - her race/ethnicity, backstory, class, motivation… it's all tied to the Suloise people and their ancestral homeland, the Suel Imperium. 🥴 And that's the problem with making her the focal point of my channel - I'd imagine people would expect me to recreate her instead of one of the "FR" characters I _have_ made.

@@Amesang I wanted to make one of my dark-elves, but I think you told me once that the devs nerfed the creation tool a bit. If so, I REALLY do not wanna redesign Saraphyn for that game. Get me?

Thanks man! I have to say you're one of the best SC channels when it comes to CAS creations of original characters. They're so unique and visually appealing. Your recent one on Power Rangers was so good!

@@blazelightzero595 thank you really do appreciate it!! And your welcome! Keep up with the good work

Thanks for the praise man! I've heard of your hiatus on your recent community post. No need to worry, I completely understand your decision to take a break. Take all the time you need 👍

@@blazelightzero595 Thank you.

@@Alexej-h5y I liked the show up to certain point. I think it was volume 5 or 6 where I started to become disinterested, but I'm not sure. I love the characters and design of the world, but what held it back for me was the shotty writing and convoluted lore. It's a shame that Rooster Teeth went under because if the show continued they could've fixed those issues, but now we don't know if the show's gonna be picked up by another company.

@@blazelightzero595 Viz media bought the rights to the show from what I heard. Will they continue it or do a reboot, I dunno.

I'm glad you like her! 😊 Mirror's Edge is an underrated series. I recently finished Catalyst a month ago and I loved the freerunning/parkour in that title so I decided to make the main protagonist in SC6 to see how things would turn out. In regards to RWBY, I do have creations of each of the 4 main girls so I may do a showcase/tournament video on them soon. Thanks for the suggestion. 😉 I'd love to see how your Yang creation turns out! 👍

@@blazelightzero595 I believe Mirror Edge 1 or Catalyst is in my Steam library, but I'm trying to get the nerve to play it, due to my vertigo. Yes, I have that bad, to a point where I'd be fine while watching a movie in theaters once without problems, but if I rewatched that same movie, & a character was up in a high place then fell, I would feel like I'm falling. It stinks!! It even hits me when I play some games too. As far as Yang. I hope you don't think I'll copy yours then run, I'm not like that. But seeing that I only have a few more creations from my vampire stories/erotic stories to do, I wanna do other characters. you know?

@@shadowlight9962 I understand your gripe concerning the vertigo and uneasy sensations when playing those games. The motion sickness and nausea can weigh on your mind especially if you're playing them for long periods of time. I myself don't have much of a problem with it, but I can see how others like you may have a rough time. As far as Yang is concerned, I'm fine with you putting your own spin on her regardless of how similar it is to mine. Imo there's not a lot of variety when it comes to her outfits in the show, so you do you man 👍

@@blazelightzero595 Her avatar will be as close as I can get to the show. I'm upset that the series is yet unconcluded, seeing that Rooster Teeth shutdown.

@@shadowlight9962 I know man that sucks to hear 😞. They had the potential to keep RWBY and their other shows going, but poor management and a lack of initiative to adapt to the changing online landscape paved a series of a thousand cuts that ultimately resulted in their downfall.

Pomni is from The Amazing Digital Circus and Poppy is from Poppy Playtime. The former is from a popular indie web series on KZbin while the ladder comes from an indie horror game. I'd highly recommend checking out The Amazing Digital Circus, it's a comedy mixed with existential dread.

@@blazelightzero595 I know the Amazing Digital Circus all too well, because my niece's six year old watches it too much. I think the subject matter is a bit much for her, but what does an uncle know? Is the horror game on steam?

@@shadowlight9962 I'd expect as much. The show is popular among a younger demographic of viewers despite the unsettling themes 😅 As for Poppy Playtime, the game is on steam, but it's told in an episodic format with sections of the game split into chapters. The first chapter is free, but if you want to experience all there is to offer you'd need to buy each one separately. Personally, I don't play the game. I'm just interested in the lore.

@@blazelightzero595 Now I just don't say a thing because her parents let her watch anything. Hey, I have content in the works.

@@shadowlight9962 LOL! I understand man. Kids will watch literally anything these days. I'm looking forward to what you have cooking next.

Thanks! I originally wanted to go with Talim's play style, but opted for Tira due to her weapon and overall aesthetic matching that of a jester.

Many thanks! But these weren't created by me. Credit to the players who made these are in the description.

Thanks for the feedback man! Appreciate the support! 😉

@@blazelightzero595 Anytime!

Thx 😊

Now that I think of it, it would be dope if the developers made a spinoff of the game in that style.

Thank you so much man! I spent a lot of time trying to fine tune the characters that matched their in-game counterparts to the best of my abilities. Apart from my other creations, I'd say the ones I made for Skullgirls took about a day to complete on average. Most of that time was expedited because, as mentioned in the description, I had Dee Fault's creations of Parasoul and Black Dahlia as references.

@@blazelightzero595 Sweet! I can relate with spending a ton of time fine tuning creations. A few of mine, such as, Maki Genryusai & Sailor Venus took half a night of looking at videos & trying to get them right. Heck, some of my OCs took 2 weeks, so I respect the work you put in!

Thanks man! That's much appreciated! Her name is Maka Albarn and she's from the anime Soul Eater. She's probably one of the main Custom Characters I had a blast creating. Sucks to hear that your anime/OC vids got corrupted, but I'll keep my eyes out for them whenever they're restored. Don't worry about it. 👍

@@blazelightzero595 The video is fine, but my game save was blitzed months ago, which deleted half my creations. As I said, I recreated all, but Mars & Venus.

@@shadowlight9962 Oh ok.

@@blazelightzero595 I just posted a video you might like.

Thanks for the praise! Annie is from a game called Skullgirls. It's an indie 2d fighting game with a mostly all girls cast with gameplay similar to Marvel vs. Capcom. I haven't played it, but the game is stylish, the music is good, and the characters and lore is amazing. The game was originally released in 2012 and since then it's been adding new characters and content across a mobile spinoff and Skullgirls: Second Encore, the complete/definitive edition of the game on consoles.

I've made other characters from Skullgirls in SC6 across my creation videos including: -Parasoul -Painwheel -Squigly -Valentine -Eliza -Marie -Umbrella -Ms. Fortune -Robo Fortune -Black Dahlia

Also thanks for subbing! I've been enjoying the content you've been posting for a while now. Keep up the good work!! 😊👍

@@blazelightzero595 I should've known because I have Second Encore on Steam. Played it a few times with a friend, but since we grew apart, he won't play me in anything. I've made Maki Genryusai (From Final Fight 2 and Street Fighter), A-ko, Project A-ko, & Sailor Venus, among my original Characters.

@@blazelightzero595 I was actually uploading some character gameplay/bios now. I schedule em so I have content released for the week while I do content for my other channel.

Thank you! 😊 Levi in particular was my favorite.

@@blazelightzero595 You nailed the character exactly, I'd say! There are a few of my originals that I'm proud of and one Anime based character that I did from memory. I hope you enjoy my content!

@@shadowlight9962 Thanks once again! And on the subject of your creations, that's dope to hear. I took a glance at your channel beforehand and I've got to say you're talented with your creations. When I have the time I'll definitely watch more of your vids, but until then I'll stay subbed for what you got cooking next.

@@shadowlight9962 Btw if you're interested, I have an entire playlist dedicated to SC6 creation battles on my channel. Some of them are created by me while others are from the community. You should check them out.

@@blazelightzero595 Thank you! I recently did a set of matches with my friend and scheduled those vids to go live at midnight this week. Other than those, there will be videos on how I game with a disability. plus more.

Thanks man! Appreciate it! 👍

Thanks man! That's great to hear! 😊

Thanks man! That's awesome to hear! Personally, I went with the DOA6 version because I thought it looked appropriate to her shinobi/ninja play style. I still like her alternative outfits tho.

I know right! Reminds me of another SC6 KZbinr I know 😏

Must be Mari. 😋 He's always got the nicest-lookin' Amys.

@@Amesang Yours are still fire tho 🔥🔥🔥👍

That's cool to hear man! Thanks for the compliment! 😁 I haven't seen much ggo creations in SC6 either. I guess that ark isn't as popular or something, I dunno 😅

Thanks for the feedback ☺️

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah you're right I shoulda used my particle shield more often against them to mitigate the damage. I just don't like corner peaking in shooters, I wanna be on the move. I'm just impatient like that I suppose 😅. I could've tried switching to Scorch but Ion is my main.

Thx! I initially wanted to create her based on Cervantes but opted for Tira because I felt it represented her jekyll and hyde personality better.

Which is why I gave Tira a Jinx cosplay. 😋 (Also, new profile photo! 👍)

@@Amesang Creative minds think alike 😉 (Thanks for showing love to the new profile pic 😊)

Lol I didn't realize that upon uploading the video for the first time. I guess that's Power for you 😅. (I updated the thumbnail to include that stare btw.)

Yeah, there are a _lot_ of interesting "glitches" when it comes to custom characters. 😋
