This video is made in paid partnership with 2K Games. Mafia Definitive Edition is available September 25. Learn more at MafiaGame.com

[@cklau314]

Mafia: Starts with Tommy tells Detective Norman his 8 years of Mafia life. Mafia 2: Starts with Vito looking at his album recalling his memory. Mafia 3: Starts people around Lincoln having an interview about him. Mafia 4: Starts with Michael Franzese casually sitting in front of a camera and talk about his former Mafia life.

[@Jorvaskrr]

It would make for an interesting movie but not so much of an interesting action game. Michael Franzese mainly handled oil tax affairs and other things like that,but he didn't participate in hits. Judging from bits of his biography that I read, I don't think he ever had to fire a gun.

The target is only there if he betrays the Colombo. From what I remember him saying when he spoke at Baylor, he said he made it very clear to his family that he wasn't going to sell anyone out, he was just done. To my knowledge, they've respected that and he hasn't been an informant.

[@astrosfan5288]

Ekehart thanks for the info. He didn’t have time to get into details like that when I saw him.

[@Aliens1337]

Ekehart Yeah, he said he’s not a snitch, and I assume most guys in his era are in their 70s - 80s, so either dead or retired. They don’t have the energy to pursue a 70 yo ex-mob. Nothing he said publicly hasn’t been done in movies, books and video games.

[@dcworld4349]

@@KennyakaTI True and it could be he just doesn't mind but if you see alot of the former mobsters (although fewer now since many of them have started to die from getting old) that would be on whatever kinda documantary talking about the life. You get the sense that it's literally the only thing they can do to make a living. I'm not saying they were helpless and had no choice in the matter, but odds are if you lived in a particular place in a particular time and you decided that you weren't going to be part of that life. That life could still find it's way to you if you got remotely successful. As in you owned a little mom and pop shop and managed to make a profit to feed your family suddenly someone would show up demanding a cut. They managed to put nice words like "tribute" and "respect" on it by comparing themselves to Romans, when in reality they pretty much ran their business as if they were the Soviet Union. Which is so funny because they would pride themselves on being capitalists.

@@itsgl00my88 That's not how it works. The La Cosa Nostra is not ranked based on lineage. He was no where near becoming Boss.

[@namedoesntmatter9330]

He really seemed relatable mainly in the human context, Tommy wouldn't pull the trigger on the kid in the car (Paulie did instead) also Paulie noticed this in Tommy and told him he had better get used to it. Also Tommy was shocked when the girl died in the car bomb (you could tell he really didn't want that to happen to her) another is where in the first game or the OG Tommy (not on Sams orders) lets the Whore go and we all know Tommy let Frank live. He broke so many rules in the mob but he had such a human side that lacked a bit in later Mafia games.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

Yea, Vito and Joe were probably the funniest but I think I liked Tommy on the basis of depth and that he started out as this normal,reasonable guy just trying to get through life who got dragged into the life; somewhat because it kind of just happened but also because he wanted to escape poverty(during the Great Depression after all) and not be a victim. The DE to me showed the complexity of his situation and that while he’s done awful things, still had a good heart underneath and there were some things that were just too far. He didn’t have the guts to murder Frank or Michelle, he understood Frank’s reasons for getting out and couldn’t fault him for being tired of looking king over his shoulder and knowing at some point Salieri would dispose of him. Maybe it was a screw up, but I think Frank like Tommy got tired of being paranoid and indulged in his hobbies like dog racing even when it got him killed.

@MeTHoD * Rudy was saying in the documentary during the beginning of the trial his wife and kid were moved to a safe house by the marshals and they taught him how to use a gun.

[@LyraCometz]

Good question, Michael always brings him up in every other interview so idek

[@Nightbreed82]

I saw in another interview where Michael said that him and Rudy have since become friends, or at the very least, respect each other (since leaving the Mafia, obviously). And he mentions the Giuliani indictment often but this is the first I've seen where Rudy's name is bleeped out.

Parkourpotato turnball is sniper???

[@ednelcollazo6447]

For anyone curious, you should just be able to go up to him and hit whatever button prompt it tells you (for ps4, it was circle). I did ask around for where he is before I went to assassinate him though so that could also be a factor.

"You know, the world isn't run by the laws written on paper. It's run by people. Some according to laws, others not. It depends on each individual how his world will be, how he makes it. And you also need a whole lot of luck, so that somebody else doesn't make your life hell. And it ain't as simple as they tell you in grade school. But it is good to have strong values and to maintain them. In marriage, in crime, in war, always and everywhere. I messed up. So did Paulie and Sam. We wanted a better life, but in the end we were a lot worse off than most other people. You know, I think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the right word. Because the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. Of course, the guy who wants too little from life, might not get anything at all." Fav qoute

Just found this video and its funny because the first time I ever heard of this guy it was him analyzing the gas ticket bit in Mafia II. One of the things I respect about him is he is quick to point out what is truth and what is more fictionalized or what is embellished compared to the truth.

[@user-md2ds2qh5i]

The crazy thing about Mafia: Lost Heaven Definitive Edition is that, before playing it, I was kinda fascinated by mob life and thought it was kinda cool (I know, I was an idiot that way), but after playing it, how the story being told is really something else to me. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Not that I don't love it about the quality, I just don't love the feelings that I got from it. After that, I completely lost the stupid "fascination" about that kinda thing and I never find it interesting anymore to play Mafia-themed games or watch movies about it.

[@livestreamgaming420]

Love this guy. He reviews mafia movies too. Awesome

[@reddeaddude2187]
