Mafia 3: The Little Things (You May Not Know)

Welcome to one of those 'things about [game name] you may not know' video, thingamajigs. There's probably a better name for this, but I haven't got it yet so for now, we'll just go with that. In this video I will be showing you some of the small details in Mafia 3 that you may or may not know about. I just wanted to shed some light on the little things in video games that can make a big difference. Obviously they don't make a game better, but it can make you appreciate them a bit more, if you like those sort of things anyways.

once I was stealing a car and there were people near me, a guy just said "maybe he lost his keys". I started laughing so hard haha

I guess I’m one of the *very few* who actually enjoy the gameplay of mafia 3. The repetitiveness doesn’t really bother me. I really loved mafia 3. Although the hundreds of bugs was irritating

[@Gamer88334]

The people who complain about it being repetitive are hypocrites. EVERY video game has repetitive gameplay. GTA? Repetitive. Just Cause? Repetitive. Battlefield? Repetitive. The main Pokemon games? Repetitive. Hotel? Trivago.

[@pugachevskobra5636]

Yes; I actually love GTA V but it is insanely repetitive. You're basically doing fetch quests the entire time, no matter what you're and where you're doing it.

[@travis2585]

@@Gamer88334 repetition isn’t an issue if the gameplay at its core is FUN. gta has such good physics across the board and offers so much variety in the way you move throughout the map, same as just cause, so we don’t mind the repetition. mafia 3 imo has enough fun factor to make the repetition alright.

[@chuck1641]

Same here for sure. Just found this game and really enjoy it. Character involvment is pretty much key for me, and the characters and story have really got me hooked. Gameplay is enjoyable too. I haven't found any real glitches, and everything seems real smooth and intuitive. Just helped Burke take down Barbieri, and don't know how much more there is to go, but I hope a lot.

[@yiannis777-l9c]

And people say this game is shitty, it's one of the most underrated masterpieces aside from some boring missions.

[@nickgumke]

When your in a gun fight, listen to the attacking npc's, they are always so confident that they can kill you, and when you blow someone's head off, this one guy says, " holy shit, he's better then I thought, fuckin run!" I don't think I have ever laughed harder.

[@Ash19843]

He killed one of ours!

[@MariusBoss11458]

When i played for the first time and i was doing stealth in the first Hatians scene some Buff guy is like "Okay let's go this way" 'Loud Footsteps'. Well that was the first time i have played the game but it was so funny after seeing the stealth in Mafia 1. I don't even know which i like more. However i do hate in Mafia 3 that they know where you are even after they're looking at the place where you think you are and you can't sneak up and choke em.

[@aveteranplayer6403]

Well what did they expected to be honest, the guy is wearing an military jacket from Vietnam

[@MrLimo217]

I personally think Lincoln's movement (slow walking to jodging to sprinting and the way he moves his body when tilting the analog-even slightly is very well done compared to others) animations is some of the best in almost any open world game.

[@pingaspearce9403]

One that impresses me the most is the aiming down the gun then going to a sprint. For a split second licoln will still be aiming down the gun and doing a side step before going into a full sprint. Looks realistic asf compared to the snap back into running animations most games do

[@MariusBoss11458]

This is why I LOVE Mafia III, these small details are what make a good game great and they increase your immersion into the game world. It’s so sad that the majority of people don’t bother to take notice of these details and instead only look at the bigger picture.

[@namedoesntmatter9330]

GTA kinda ruined it for many I guess as they seem to expect all games to play like that, but the Mafia series never really was about this open world free to roam forever. Although this did change in Mafia 2 (the DLC content) and was fully brought to Mafia 3 (talking open world free roam during and after the story)

[@MariusBoss11458]

[@dukeshovon9447]

one attention to detail you missed : when starting up the car the headlight dims during ignition and lits up fully when started this one impressed me most

[@namedoesntmatter9330]

That and there's no power steering so as you have likely noticed turning cars in this game is difficult at best and wall slamming or pole crashing at worst lol

[@paulioanparlea4054]

Most 1960s American cars had power steering, at least as an option. Hell, this feature was a thing even in the 50s, so that hard-ass handling is a bit too far fetched for Mafia 3. It would've been nice in Mafia 2 though.

[@thejgamer0855]

10 minutes but no midroll ads. Simply amazing

[@lincolnclay8261]

This game is so underrated.

[@GUAPJOSHTNP]

I know if it had multiplayer I think more people would play I just finished he game and I low-key miss te game still want to do a coupe of things I enjoyed it tho I can conclude

[@babystick87]

No mafia 1 underrated

[@Kelz91]

GuapJosh hmm interesting. Other than the story & soundtrack I despised this game. Complete letdown to me. Story missions are superb, it’s the filling in between those missions that I struggled to get thru. By far the most bland, mundane & grindy videogame I’ve ever played in the last 5 maybe even 10 years. I was so let down especially comparing it to Mafia 2 by this 💩 show. Took me almost 2 years to finally beat the game it was that grindy & boring outside of the storyline missions

[@BrattyBiker]

For what it is, yes. For what they said it is, then no. It’s not a ‘Mafia’ game. Doesn’t deserve the title

[@lukadencic4112]

No not really

Thank you for being fair with your review of the details I’ve been playing and enjoying this game but can’t find any coverage that was positive.

Chesney Goodson we know why bro

[@nowheelgap]

Last thing I noticed when I played it (which was today) were the showers in the Barbieri slaughterhouse, one was for whites and one was for coloured. The coloured one was far more filthy looking than the whites only shower, thought that was kinda interesting.

[@IMMAMASTER44]

I was blowing up cop cars and this one guy in the nearby dinner said "I got too much living left"😂

[@ma70er]

Nice little detail I found after watching another video is that, depending on where you approach him (side or front), Lincoln kills Sal differently during their final confrontation.

[@namedoesntmatter9330]

I missed this at first, the first time I didn't know what to do and Sal grabbed a a gun and kiled himself. The second play through I knew I had an option so I went for the knife and stabbed Sal.

[@nowheelgap]

Also I like also how you can shoot out lights to make it a lil more difficult for an enemy to see you.

[@johnny4kk]

Did you mention that when you drive a cool car, people see that and compliment it. It is so cool!

[@omarw9206]

You can see the air intake actually open when you accelerate. The truck you get from Enzo is actually a 4x4 and does better going up offroad hills than sports/ exotics (unlike gta where u can use a lambo to climb mountains)

[@MrMajima]

Loved your video, the game does have a lot of good details that most people doesn't notice and is nice to see that someone see it.

I think the driving is smoother than gta...i prefer it

[@pugachevskobra5636]

Thank you for making this video dude! You were really informative and concise. I've been playing Mafia 3 for years and I had no idea about 90% of the things you pointed out. Instant sub.

[@natlikethebug9522]

Mafia 3 has great car related details. You can hear vacuum lines under the hood. Heavy braking locks up the drums/disc brakes and you can't turn. The lights dim while idling because the generator/alternator is turning slower and the voltage regulator cant keep up untill you rev or start driving. When you get out the halogen lights turn off slowly. Wipers work of course. You can hear the exhaust cooling down when you turn off the vehicle. Etc. Its so cool.

[@adamthompson6669]

Greet video mafia 3 is a tonne of fun and full of details. I’m re starting as I lost so much money from dying and finished a mission died during it, very early on had to take two guys out and I wasn’t sure how to progress the quest. It was after taking down the brothel very early in game.

[@AlstonCrosby]

great video !! thank you. i slept on this game way too hard, i didnt even want to finish it

[@emmalahti8205]

I knew all of these except rolling over the hood if you are in cover. That was cool. Although, i have played this game maybe 5-6 times through. So underrated. The constant repetition and similatity of base missions you have to do, are propably the reason for that.

[@internetkumquat4542]

Eh ignore those fascist fucks. From what I've seen? The game was merely lamed by the fact they went overboard with caring about story. Reason why there weren't clothes or anything else related to the open-world? Because it came second just the same as the second game. Figuratively both companies who built both Mafia II and III both did the exact same concept. Both cared for the story and forgot the rest practically. Realistically both are like similar brothers who deny it. Both have alright gameplay, both have alright this-that-and-the-other. I've been overly annoyed by how much people ride Mafia II's dick. What did Mafia II do better than Mafia III? Mafia II sure had garages and set clothes, had little things to interact with but funny enough Mafia III could've had the exact same concept but Hanger 13 looked towards what impacted the story. I liked it because it reminded me of Max Payne or other similar games that have open-world sandboxes but are linear. Nobody who disrespects Mafia III could live in the 2000's.

[@thecynicpyro]

I'm barely stomaching going through it once and you're telling me you went through it 6 times? Damn man you got a whole fuck ton of free time on your hands and I wouldn't say it was time well spent

[@Fat_xeno]

Florida '79 The story in the game is shit. It's a generic revenge story with characters you'll probably FORGET the names of. Plus story is no excuse to make an open world game bland and boring with very few customization options.

[@internetkumquat4542]

So what. Honestly, as long as I can invest myself into the world and story it works. Not every cake needs a cherry.

[@thetaorobertshow265]

great game although it would have been amazing if you could buy homes, clothes, modify your cars and be able to free roam after the main storyline...would have been great to have that in mafia 2 too! Not with mods I mean...but still it was satisfying ripping Marcano's life apart, throat by throat, dollar by dollar

[@Godfather9814]

Recently mafia 3 was just added to the trilogy pack so I find myself stumbling on videos such as this, I can agree in some ways I do like mafia 3! And taking down the rackets that is boring to others I enjoyed! But the graphics didn’t seem that great compared to other games of its time, but seems like now with its definitive edition it’s actually gotten a bit worse! It also would’ve been cool to really take a hands on approach to building a mob empire like running your rackets, starting supply and distribution networks for them and so on. It also would’ve been cool for more player customization and maybe fixing up the plantation house you use for sit downs to make it a HQ/mansion for you

But I don't try to prevent civilian casualties, I just try to keep them to a minimum. Even in small, personal wars like the one you partake in during the events of Mafia III, civilian casualties are nearly impossible to avoid (realistically speaking).

[@djaceofpentacles]

It'll always be compared to GTA5. Unavoidable. But they are for different audiences honestly. Mafia 3 was an amazing crime story based on an allegory of a place and time... southern urban areas at the tail of the Vietnam War and Civil Rights movement. I would've personally liked more of the freedom riders and selma angle since the devs chose the setting and feel they did. But it was a great game. GTA5 is a country into itself. Fighter jets to the best Hoodie and beard to online mayhem never since touched. But sometimes you want a more bite size experience that is still Triple A quality. That's Mafia 3.

[@Gamer88334]

Yeah, the underbosses need to stop complaining so much about not getting districts. They can complain when they start helping us kill or recruit the guys who run the rackets before we decide who takes over the district. If they ain't helping you do any of the pushing to take over a district, they don't get to complain about not getting it unless you had them secure both rackets then you decide to dick them over and give the district to someone else (I'd be pretty annoyed too if someone had me secure all the rackets, only to make me give them up to someone else.)
