Mafia 2 is a cinematic action-adventure game that draws inspiration from iconic mafia dramas, immersing players in the alluring and inescapable life of organized crime. Set in the meticulously crafted world of Empire Bay, the game transports players to the 1940s and 50s, where World War II is raging in Europe, and the architecture, cars, music, and fashion echo the period in stunning detail. As time progresses, the game reflects the birth of a new era, with the introduction of hot rod cars and the evolution of fashion and music. Players step into the shoes of Vito Scaletta, a rising star in the criminal underworld who, alongside his trusted friend Joe, works to prove himself to the Mafia. As Vito climbs the family ladder, the stakes grow higher, and the consequences more severe, revealing that the life of a wise guy is not as untouchable as it may seem. Through its compelling characters, immersive storytelling, and meticulous attention to historical detail, Mafia 2 offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of organized crime.

My favorite was watching the Sopranos when I got older. I was only about 14 when the Sopranos came out, and I wasn't too interested in TV at the time. 20 Years later I watched it, and realized I knew 10 of each character, in real life 😂. The humor was spot on and the stupid shit that went on they had down to a T. Every one of them was someone we looked up to. Everything was fun until Oxycodone became big and killed most of the kids I grew up with. I'm at least happy to look at the early 2000s as a fun and long ago memory.

But he always told me stories so I wouldn’t get involved myself. Wanted a better life for me and that’s exactly what he did after prison he completely changed his life around. My mom and him had my lil sister and he did everything possible to take care of us in a legit way. But man he told me a story when he was younger, like 14 or so. He just started dealing in harder drugs and he branched out of his hometown in Vallejo ca to Fairfield ca. Well when he did that, another local gang didn’t take to kind to him dealing in their territory. They basically kidnapped, took all his new clothes and shoes. Money drugs and then left him in a shirt and boxers out in a corn field in the middle of Butt fuck nowhere. They beat him up pretty damn good to. Man his stories were insane.

Thanks! I really need that luck in 2023

[@soknheith3259]

@@TitansSoul me too, dude. Me too. I wish you the best 2023! 🎆

[@BayAreaMike99]

You guys need to show him GTA IV Niko Bellic and the mob missions

[@Lucas02000]

That would be cool, the pegorinos were based on the sopranos

[@justineallandevelos6491]

If i'mma guess Michael would probably disapprove on most of those missions since it nearly always devolves into open shootouts in public places which is what not the higher ups in family would want to happen realistically i mean just look at pegorino's first mission where he was nearly killed by the Pavano mob😅

[@Lucas02000]

@@justineallandevelos6491 yeah but the pavanos knew the peg was arrogant and stupid so they knew he would fall for the trap, his ego couldn't let him avoid a sitdown as he would look weak in his mind.

[@dictatorofthecheese]

Hope there's a part 2 planned. This was so interesting as I'm playing through Mafia 2 Definitive Edition past few days.

[@BashyenoM]

It would be so awesome if Michael reacted to The Godfather game and all the mechanics of it.

[@kyartick8502]

Out of all the experts I've watched on these experts react videos none I want to talk to more than this guy.

[@B0SS330]

The Lufthansa Heist... remembers that Family Guy scene.. hahaha !

[@mybloodrunscamo5770]

Unpopular opinion : This game if extended could be better than gta v

[@alexbluemajor1765]

9:48 He actually pointed something out that might’ve hinted at Henry working with the cops. I never suspected anything about Henry until it was revealed.

[@DMPTC]

can u guys bring some hard truck driver reacting to Snowrunner?

[@sigma.wr8]

more plz, this was great!

[@perrythecrackhead]

WHERE DID YOU FIND HIM!?

[@felippe6758]

All of people from comments seems to be happy that ex mob being presented in video. That's the way to go society!

[@man_on_wheelz]

This man was actually briefly mentioned in the movie Goodfellas, people knew Michael Franzese.

[@RetroJ77]

Yeah! Too bad they butchered his last name.

[@12890mrkickass]

Didn't see ya for a while Mike, glad to see you're still posting

[@prointernetuser]

Mafia IV set in the 80s (Michael's time) has to be a thing, with some parallels to the real Five Families or at least Gotti.

[@lennyboah7183]

Shittest era of the mob lol it’s when the fbi took them all down and people turned snitch to get lesser sentances . That would be a shit story 😂😂

[@lennyboah7183]

70s would be better , a lot better .

[@haybrid8261]

Vito being made Gamers: "Look at that, cool" Mobster fanboys: "Yea i knew that" MIchael: "Man it *brings back memories* "

[@Kylesaystuff]

First, wanna make a deal with me?

[@damianstarks3338]

Second what kind of deal ?

[@Silencer796]

Third, why a deal?

[@fictional360]

OK here is the deal......

You get me 10 pounds of cocaine and i'll...

[@duplicitouscanadian3073]

I like that he picks up on the initiation fee because if I recall, that was something Falcone did outside of his powers

[@icarusblues7699]

Where do you keep finding these guys? First a hitman, now a mafia boss. Speaking of, both those guys should do a video together.

[@yaboyflux3970]

Mafia captain not mafia boss

[@kertaspaper94]

Apparently Mr. Franzese have a dislike for John Alite (the ex-hitman Gamology invited on the channel)

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

I saw him react to GTA Vice City and to this. Mafia 2 triggers his memory way more it seems (which makes complete sense of course)

[@yurikovRUKR762]

I'd love to see Ex-terrorist react to Insurgency sandstorm

[@stuff9680]

2:53 Luca, a capo in the Clemente crime family, was slapped by Alberto Clemente the head of the family

[@JasonL77]

Dang, you got Michael Franzese on board. Gamology is getting a real heavyweight in on this. Maybe hire Santee from The Arizona Ghostriders to react to RDR 2. (Arizona Ghostriders is a great KZbin channel that gives brief history lessons about the Old West.)
