@exlibrisas They don’t want to talk about or even LOOK for the real causes for some reason, so they blame video games

It goes further than that. They know that games aren't to blame. They also know that we have way too many damn guns out there, and that enacting better gun laws would help save countless lives, However, That would mean losing precious NRA money, as well as losing the support of their brainwashed, gun-loving supporters. The lives of thousands upon thousands on innocent school kids mean nothing to them - especially when money is involved.

Mef262728 not true lol

@@RyanUlring I agree with both sides. Better gun laws MUST be applied. Yet it is more then just guns, it's culture and, dear I say, tradition. Regulating guns would be like trying to treat a symptom, not a decease. And yet, since the decease is so strong, reducing effects of the symptom would help, even if a little.

I think the reason why a lot of it is "unrealistic" is mainly for the players enjoyment. Cause the thing with a lot of these "action" games is that you always have to have that action available. So being able to just attack anyone at any time or swarms of cops chasing you gives the player that enjoyment/fun factor.

Vito doesn't become a made man until later, plus this is the 20s-30s not the 70s so the heist with the irish simultaneously pulling up makes sense according to Michael. I also believe Vito learns to lockpick prior to the gas stamp chapter, making it possible for him to get into that vault. Idk if I'm mixing that last part up with mafia 1 though or with car picklocking.

Jak picking a door lock in the 50s had to be realistic

[@hyperiusnovani]

pimpiniseasy well, the man wasn’t talking about lock picking in and of itself, he was talking about the safe. It’s highly unrealistic to even try and open a highly secured and unknown safe without any information, much less actually be able to open the safe. I’m real life, anyone would have just died in there or gotten arrested for attempted Grand Theft.
