Godfather 2 is one of my most favorite games of all time BECAUSE of the family features and i just havent been able to find another game with that feature to even compare to it. Its literally one of a kind. The managing and micro managing or whatever you wanna call it really made the game for me. I could send 2 squads to go take over businesses for me and id could take one myself or if i didnt feel like defending or losing a business i could just send people over and have it taken care of. The game was wicked easy i distinctly remember not wanting armored cars or bullet proof vests because it started to become TOO easy for me and kind of took the fun out of it. I also intentionally didnt like taking over every business or killing every mobster because that was half the fun being able to be at war with other families. But again i dont have another game with the same features to compare it to if anyone knows of a game similar please let me know

Honestly the closest thing to it is what he mentioned Shadow of war and Mordor. I'm not even a fan of Lord of the rings but the game play outside of the combat feels very similar to the family building in this. Hire an orc train him up and then he betrays you once you do the big take over fights. Or your favourite orc dies only for you to find out he lived when he comes to save you from dying.

[@Larry]

I get the impression with Godfather II that EA saw how successful GTA: Vice City was and told the devs "make it more like that". So any accuracy went right out of the window. Then again The Godfather and accuracy have never been good bedfellows, when US Gold had the rights they wanted to make Godfather IV, but set in the future and in space. But that went so far away from it's roots, they ended up renaming it: Flashback instead!

[@tibersulla2305]

This is one of those game that left me wanting more, I wanted this to be a gigantic open world with tons of business to take over and strategically defend, but the cities are small and there aren't that many business... I'm still yearning for that dream GTA-like open world game with more deep and properly implemented gang warfare/mafia business mechanics... Hoping for GTA 6 to return to Vice City and do just that, Vice City did "kinda" start the business takeover thing in these kind of games. Also, try out Scarface the World is Yours.

[@austinranft3618]

I didn’t play it for much more than about 6 hours but it seemed like Mafia 3 was trying that, have you ever played that?

[@rayjones1455]

I agree! I had really high hopes for this game and followed its development and pre-ordered it (Godafther II was a huge letdown in comparison to Godfather I). I have been following the development of Empire of Sin, which is slated to be released some time in the fall of 2020. The developer mentioned that their main influences in making the game (which is set in 1920s Chicago) are XCom and Civilization: Revolution (for leaders who have interesting backstories and an impact on the gameplay). While this won't be the same as the third person open world games like GTA, Mafia and the Godfather, taking over businesses and running rackets will hopefully be part of an enjoyable gameplay loop.

I was talking with some friends a long time ago about how it woulda been cool if mafia 3 had a nemisis system and how it wouldve made the game a thousand times more engaging

[@oh-not-the-bees7872]

@patrick howard in such a wierd way as well. The opening is very strong, but then immediately takes a nosedive in quality after the big betrayal. It felt like an updated godfather part 2 on the 360. Its pretty much the exact same gameplay actually. And the mafia in mafia 3 is hardly present, which i found disappointing. It just seemed to be endless killing over and over and i was like "wheres the story." Not to mention the combat being fairly janky and had the battelfront 2 "playing with action figures" feel. The driving and music is great though, especially if you change the driving physics to simulation in the settings.

Then there’s the painfully cringy glitching when playing but I did have plenty of fun shooting up the rivals and doing the side missions, especially blowing up the rival’s mansions, but still, I felt like more gameplay could’ve been added.
