Sad in mafia 3 he looks traumatized 😔.

[@DiscothecaImperialis]

Leo wanted to separate Vito and Joe forever. he even orchestrated Joe's 'final moments' at a hand of another family he planned to get rid of (Macano). and Vito has a bad logical deduction skills, a term 'loudmouth fatman' could also be Eddy, his former superior. and there's a good reason Eddy is to escape, and later killed brutally, so Vinci can secure its place in the Empire Bay Mafia (and Chu's place as Triad leader.) it's better off for both, since Joe always coaxed Vito into problems, one after another, and one that brought Vito to jail, Joe is always a coordinator (with Marty, who also died guarding the duo's inserting vehicle).

I never believed Joe was dead for many reasons most notably that he is a great soldier & perfect muscle. Too good to be wasted. Leo obviously replaced Vito with Joe as his prodeje. This story does need complete closure. I hope they do it finally in future games. But if they do, I hope they get the original voice actors to reprise these characters.

I played DE, so maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't Mafia one have the same epilogue/closure for Tommy, with the only real difference between one and two being who's perspective you're seeing it from?

[@sokar_rostau]

Reuniting with people you haven't seen for decades isn't unusual in real life. The next logical step for the franchise would be the '70s-'80s era of excess before Gotti got done. Given these character's shared history, there's a perfect opportunity for a great finale to their story here. Despite how old they look in Mafia III, Vito and Joe were only in their 40s. You could have them re-unite in the 1980s, both in positions of power to take revenge, they start whacking people, start a mob war, and end up being instrumental to bringing the American Mafia to it's knees and putting 'Gotti' in prison. This also gives the opportunity for branching storylines and tensions between Vito and Joe in how they go about things, with the possibility of them turning on each other. Regardless of how they do it, we actually have a precedent for Vito and Joe re-uniting and it's from one of the greatest mob films of all time: Once Upon a Time in America. They could even make a nod to it by starting the game with a hand putting down a glass of whiskey, picking up the phone, and hearing Joe's voice say "It's me Vito. It's really me. We'll get to that. We gotta talk.", then later find out that Joe's original plan was for Vito to kill him.

Because of not wanting Vito to figure out that Joe is alive,Vinci sends a body double to chicago,to make a cover up story for Joe,but the guys he's met with set him up,doing to him what Mafia 3 tells us. Also,the reason Leo protects Lincoln is because Vito is part of his organization and does not wish his death.

From what I heard ,mafia 4 will be years before Mafia 1 .. which means it'll take place years before the 1st Mafia

[@Wmwnnqnwnb]

This whole time i thought my 2nd favorite game charachter died and i am glad to know he is alive and still pushing.

[@armandoromero5558]

Joe lives! Thanks for the insightful video.

[@gtabgvideo7597]

When I think about it... like father like son...

[@Juicybignut00]

not even close

[@GameMasterpg]

Sad Veto had no real role in Mafia 3

[@worthy17]

Bro what are the odds a new comment is on the vid the same day as me. Not often on older videos

[@KaterinUA5]

Personally if at the ending of Mafia 3 Vito takes over New Bordeaux, he would a lot of power and connections to find more info about Joe and perhaps find out he is alive. In fact, after 17 years they would definitely be more smart about being a mob. But that is just a theory. I wouldn't be surprised if Mafia 4 gets a completely different story and Lincoln, Vito and Joe fates would be a mystery in Mafia 4, only player's choice in Mafia 3

[@frazho4eg]

Joe's deaths is canonical ending of Mafia 2. It doesnt matter if guys from hangar 13 decided to ressurect him in a dumb way. Trying to make connection between games they ruin such a dramatic ending with meaning of price you pay.

[@TheDriftingspliff420]

thank you joe is dead it wasn't a cliff hanger.

[@manofwisdom000]

Finally someone else gets it.

[@anthonybayonne9361]

No he’s not dead that’s what y’all want.

[@manofwisdom000]

@@anthonybayonne9361 You’re a kid and a fan boy like any other. Joe being kept alive and working for Vinci through Leo without any given explanation as to why ruins the ending of Mafia 2. Remember, this is Mafia. There are no happy endings. Joe and Vito created entire gang wars in Empire Bay so they had to pay for their actions.

Nice that you cared.

4:15 what's the song playing in the background?

[@tyronebee7209]

Every time I hear Joe's voice, a part of me thinks it's Peter Griffin from Family Guy speaking. 😅

[@chankmank1881]

I wasn’t too sure if that was Joe at the end of Mafia 3 for so long since it was just speculation but then in Mafia Definitive Edition in the ending scene they give Joe the exact same scar on his chin as the driver in Mafia 3

[@fiveone8570]

It Was Definitely Joe !

[@Muqaddim]

"during the side mission I need a favor vito ask Lincoln for a favor" who would have thought 😂

[@TheRealRusDaddy]

Ngl ive never cried at the end of a game except for mafia 2

[@Nitroh-]

Calling it now, the next Mafia game after The Old Country is about Joe. It should be anyway, we'll see how good this new game is first and see what sort of sequel opportunities arises, but a game following Joe set directly after Mafia 2 and then continue through to ending of Mafia 3 would be a perfect way to kinda round up this timeline.

[@BrianMaeke]

The game is too short but awesome

[@boogieman8827]

If Joe is still alive then those poor 5 guys Lincoln killed is for no reason 😅

[@Helpline5815]

Why would the Vinci family hire on Joe anyway after all the trouble he directly caused? We can understand why they hired Vito, but they basically exiled him.

[@jasondyrkacz8270]

Joe assisting Vito in killing Carlo Falcone when he didn't have anything to gain by it probably gained the respect of Galante and Vinci. They probably played hardball with Chu after and agreed to let Joe live as long as Vito and Joe think the other is dead.

[@Helpline5815]

@@jasondyrkacz8270 that's a great theory. I really hope one day soon we'll find out for sure and get a Mafia 4. I loved all 3 games.

[@BigDaddyRich69]

​@@jasondyrkacz8270i can see this being 100% true

[@claudespeed5417]

A video that nobody asked for but that we all needed 😅😂 Thanks for this video, i am confused from Joe barbaro's death but now is sure he alive 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Although my big question goes outside the game and also the DLC's what happened to Jimmy? :O

[@MafiaGameVideos]

Glad you liked this video! Jimmy isn't cannon. He's part of an alternate Mafia 2 Universe.

[@claudespeed5417]

@@MafiaGameVideos I am confused again with them 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@Trane141Kingz]

​@@MafiaGameVideos yeah that's 100% true. Jimmy was in the exact same prison as vito, in Jimmy's second story. Which by the way,is in the middle of a riot as soon as you start playing. Once you get out, the game basically tells you that the whole city is run by two cultural, hostile gang leaders. A mob boss, and an Irishman.

[@kelanjames8429]

honestly im curious why they would send vito to new bourdou and not joe, leo actually had a connection with vito and if he believed that joe and him being together was a problem then send joe away. Maybe it was because vito was more reliable and could be more usefull down there? or maybe just didnt trust keeping him around leo? hes definitly more resourceful than joe so he was probably more suited for the position down south where as joe is more useful as muscle but i dont know
