Mafia III - Police Behavior Analysis

[@sanlorenzo7896]

The biggest flaw this game had was that you couldn’t pick up cop weapons and ammo for extended gun fights. That right there was a huge mistake made by Hanger 13 and it killed the incentive for random rampages.

[@abramslion1]

Call the orange van that's over priced items. Buying weapons their ammunitions and explosives nearly leaves you with not enough money to buy anything else. You also have two slots for guns you can't have your assaults rifle with a pistal and a sniper rifle.

[@jefPolice]

they eventually fixed it in the "Faster, Baby!" update. But they kinda didn't as the Sinclair Parish Sheriff Office were treated like enemies instead of law enforcement.

Police chases in Mafia 3 are the worst I've ever experienced in a game. The first thing they do is shoot your tires out making a chase completely impossible.

@@jaroslavjancik349 It's a perk from Berk, Lol, didn't mean for that to rhyme! It should be something you can upgrade in the garage, not when the game is nearly finished!

Also repeat few dialogue 100 times "Real police incoming", " Hells are coming" , " They gonna call me a hero for killing you". Shotgun in game is so OP it's not possible to run away. When it reaches 200 meters regardless of your location. Police know exactly where you are at all times. Also when Lincoln clay gets shot he stops running then you get shot a second time and die idk why he stops running?.

[@mcreary1247]

This is one of the things that I hate in Mafia III, cops in this game were so damn violent & aggresive! These bastards will always try to shoot you to death even if you commit minor offenses (accidentally hit the police cruiser, bumping an officer on the street, loitering on whites only shop, etc.), they will always do drive-by everytime they chase you and to make matters worse they even aim for your car tires too! Which makes it difficult for you to outrun these bastards. Also the cops in this game don't give a shit about the gangsters who were shooting at you, well I know if these cops were paid by Marcanos but even if you finished the game strangely that doesn't change their behavior towards you, they still always prioritize to shoot you to death and they don't give a shit about your gang who were helping you to kill those bastards XD Whatever it is, cops in this game suck balls dude! That's my opinion...

[@ArtseyHayton06]

Well it's based on racism

[@ethankolojejchick3731]

@@ArtseyHayton06 yes but that dont change the fact that they were very lazy wit it. They couldve at least made it so theyll try to arrest u first for minor crimes (game over if u comply, chase if you dont). They should be aggressive, yes, but not down right insane.

[@Arkiasis]

@@ArtseyHayton06 There's a way to make it realistic and still do that. They should for sure maybe beat you up when they bust you. But instantly going for "shoot to kill" is dumb. Yeah, they should react more so to your actions than say a white NPC, but they need to some AI to them. Like say if you're loitering in a white only area, they should come by and club you and drag you out maybe outside of town and leave you there leaving you without much health. That would stay true to the racist tone but make them reasonable.

It's intentional ffs look at Lincoln's skin and portray a racist white cop of the 1960's NBPD

[@gamingmoth4542]

Seems like more and more games just don't bother to add an "Arrest Mechanic". The Police AI were able to arrest NPCs in GTA 4, but Rockstar decided to remove it in GTA 5 and they only ever arrest the player (and only in single player). There was a decent Arrest Mechanic in Mafia 1 and 2, but they just couldn't bother to add one in Mafia 3. Just comes off as kinda cheap TBH.

[@Hagelslough]

I think mafia 3 kinda want to be realistic with the police because Lincoln is black.

[@gamingmoth4542]

@@Hagelslough problem is that they never really indicated that the NBPD was the type of department that would shoot blacks on sight. Hell, if anything they made it out like the New Parish Sheriff’s Department was the one that would’ve actually killed a black person on sight (since it was supposed to be a Sun Down County), but the AI between both police departments is basically the exact same. I know that 1960s police officers were notorious for racism and rough behavior, but even back then they still arrested (and ticketed) black folks so ya can’t really claim that they did it for “Realism”… I mean, it’s not like 100% of every black person who ever did an offense that warrants an arrest or citation in the 1960s was imminent killed on sight by police. As I said, it felt kinda cheap. It was probably easier to just program Police AI to act basically the exact same as standard Enemy AI. Hell, with how rushed the game felt in many other regards I wouldn’t be surprised if they really did just rush the Police AI as well. If they really wanted to make the police act “Realistic” when compared to how actual police acted in the 1960s they would’ve still had an arrest mechanic and just had the police act a lot rougher during the animations (IDK, hit the player upside the head with their radio or something), but shooting the player on sight for sideswiping someone else’s car is in no way “Realistic”. I’d say that a good way to make Police seem realistic would be to have them work with an RNG. Have them still implement traffic laws and have them still pull the player over, but have what they do based on chance. Sometimes they’ll simply give the player a ticket and leave, sometimes they’ll give the player ticket but also make racist remarks while doing it and sometimes they may just decide to arrest the player instead because they “Don’t like the way they are looking at them” (what they do is based off of chance). As I suggest, still keep the arrest mechanic but make the animations involved a lot more rough and abusive. Also, have them still go after enemy AI when the player either… A. Bribes the Police B. Is fighting someone other than Marciano’s men (like the cultists in the DLC) C. Finished the main campaign since Lincoln took Marciano place Lastly, add in a notoriety mechanic. In the very beginning of the game the police will be a lot less aggressive towards the player, but as they continue the game and take out more of Marciano’s men they will be quicker to attack the player. Have it hit a climax once Lincoln kills Remy Duvall and make it so at that point forwards the police will be out to kill Lincoln the moment they get a good look at him (then once Marciano is taken out the notoriety level resets to the lowest level and stays there).

[@unchi1999]

And this is why games aren't made with love and care anymore.

[@BritishRail60062]

The cop AI sucks in this game. Its no different to fighting another gang. Still the M16 makes light work of them though as long as you are behind cover in an ally. Just mow them down wave after wave in this game. Mafia 1 and 2 is better. The cop AI in GTA V is better than this game. Oh and don't get me started on the sheriffs and deputies in this game. That is just a glorified gang-banger gang with a badge and easy to take out as well. The Vagos and Aztecas even put up more of a fight in GTA San Andreas.

I want to say that I understand why the police just open fire on Lincoln, a half-black man compared to the previous two white male protagonists, especially considering the setting, but I still wish there was a more realistic police system like the last two games. The absolute psycho police still feels a bit over the top in a way. I think it would’ve been a great opportunity to have a similar police system, but also create something that fits the time period, like a bit of snarky comments and/or police brutality when Lincoln commits small crimes and gets ticketed/arrested for them.
