I don't know if the clear racism should be counted as sins as they're purposely put there so as not to sugar coat the time period and show a much more realistic parallel to 1960's USA. People actually spoke like that.

There were a few problems I had some of these sins: 1. You still need to permission to set your game in a real city just like you need permission to film a movie or tv show there. If the city finds anything objectionable to the portrayal of the city they can refuse the right to do so. I don't think that New Orleans would be keen on being portrayed as a corrupt city completely run by the mafia. 2. In 1968 police departments were not using fingerprinting to solve crimes on a wide scale as the lab analysis of prints would take a long time to acquire. Even if the NBPD did lift prints off the gas can, to catch Lincoln it would require that he have a criminal record, which the game says he does not. 3. The fake ID sin makes no sense. They are fake, not the IDs of the men they took the uniforms from. The forged IDs are a ruse to convince the guards that they are transfers and replacements. 4. Their plan was to drill under the vault to escape unnoticed. Yeah they could have taken the money outside the vault, but how would they have escaped with it? Walking it out the front door? 5. He probably did know that Baka was out of bullets. Lincoln is a highly skilled special forces soldier. He probably knows how to count shots, and the capacity of a 1911, you know the standard US sidearm during Vietnam. 6. Cassandra is a master manipulator and hardened criminal, so yeah she probably was able to figure out a ruse very quickly. 7. You'd need inside men to scope out the security situation inside the reserve. What if the guards decide to check the vault while they're drilling? What if the drill alerts the guards? Having inside operators was a way to make sure they could mitigate any interference from the guard staff, as well as make sure any security measures could be deactivated. 8. No that's not the money that the federal reserve was going to destroy. That was completely different money. The gang used the scheduled burn of the OLD money as an opportunity to get inside the reserve to steal the NEW money that was NOT scheduled for destruction. 9. Sometimes songs that are popular get played a lot on the radio. They don't just play it once every few months. It's been like 50 years since it debuted and I still hear Bad Moon Rising on the radio like once a week. 10. Doucet who is shown to be massively obese and not athletic in the slightest "could have easily climbed into the ferris wheel to save himself"? I don't know how to tell you this, but even if you are in immaculate shape trying to do any amount of physical exertion while your windpipe is being crushed by traction under your own weight would be EXTREMELY difficult. Also it looks like the rope length on that noose would have made enough space from Doucet's grasp to the railing that he wouldn't have been able to get a grip anyway. I'm only 9 minutes into this video, but these are very easy sins to disprove if you pay attention to the details that the game presents. You could go after actual inaccuracies like the fact that Lincoln's knife that he allegedly carried during his tour in Vietnam is an M9 bayonet which wasn't created until 1986. but I guess that not as entertaining as an incorrect nitpick.

Some issues I have: 1. Father James is a former army medic so he probably knew about wound care. Still extremely irresponsible, but he didn't want the cops and feds asking questions. 2. The Haitian mob attacked Lincoln in the diner, because Lincoln tried to stop them. They didn't specifically target him. 3. Making a huge deal out of tiny things like the Vietnamese woman with the pig and the baby. The shot up guy on the ferris wheel not being able to pull his weight up and save himself from strangulation (most people can't even do pull ups, let alone when they've been shot). Mardi Gras in New Bordeaux isn't an issue as the fictional city is meant to represent New Orleans anyway. 4. The game did a very good job at explaining why he can't get revenge and just be done with it. He wants to take everything from them first and then kill them to inflict mental anguish on them before death. Also, if you kill a mob boss, a new lieutenant will become the boss and they'll come after you anyway. So you have to kill all the capos, lieutenants and then the boss to systematically dismantle the mob. Also you have to take their rackets to rob them of any capital that they can use against you. 5. They use the run-down mansion to meet on neutral ground. That's how it's done in organized crime. Heck that's how it's done everywhere where there are issues of trust. 6. No, Cassandra doesn't trust Lincoln. None of them trust each other. This is explicitly stated in that very scene as well. Mafia 3 had a decent plot. You could poke just as many holes in Mafia 2's and Mafia 1's plot. There's always a level of suspension of belief when it comes to stories like this. Not everything can have a plot like The Godfather. Why I personally didn't like Mafia 3 as much as Mafia 2 or 1, is because the game was clearly rushed and is still unfinished. They removed a lot of the features for no apparent reason and the game mechanics become extremely tedious after a while. As you said, they turned a 10-hour game into a 20-hour one. But for me the story was riveting enough to keep me going even though a lot of things were really poorly done.

Biggest Sins: -The Option to screw over Vito -The Option to Kill Vito -The multiple endings. Hell, Vito deserved to be in power if Lincoln leaves.

15:50 you clearly do not know many veterans. A dark and twisted sense of humor is pretty much on their business cards.

I mean, Lincoln is an Army Vet. Maybe he is counting their bullets

How can racism be considered a sin in a game set in the 60's? let alone one with a black protagonist; wouldn't it be more of a sin to shy away from the reality of the world it was set in?

"I'm guessing the devs didn't playtest this with Mafia 2 fans" Mafia 2 Fans: VITTO AND BUCATINI HERE WE COME

so... you're counting against it because you can't follow the story. for people who actually paid attention its fairly obvious the direction of the story even with those jumps.

Sammy is not Dominican. I'm almost certain he's creole because he was speaking French.

How is Vito re-appearing in the third installation a bad thing😂

He called Lincoln Godzilla because he’s big, so how is that racist

dude most of these facts you end up contradicting yourself

My only real complaint with this game is that they don't let you replay missions without restarting the game. And Vito is awesome, it's a good thing they put him in the game.

This guy makes it sound like characters being racist in a turbulent time in American history isn't factual.

Sin 43 father James couldn’t take him to the hospital cause Sal would find out he’s there and kill him

The reason marcano killed the black mob is so that they could be blamed for the heist

"piece of shit drill kept over heating" I feel like this is payday reference

I have to say... I just don't understand the hate this game got. I thought it was a lot of fun. I liked the story, I loooved being able to drive around in vintage cars, and I feel like this game has aged well.

18:30 About that, you’d need to do a lot of reading to get this, but here’s the TLDR: Olivia is a psychopath that loves the mafian way of life, she married Lucio marcano (sal’s youngest brother) and then had him killed for 2 reasons, 1 she would take over his rackets, 2 she found it exciting killing her husband like some romanticized mafia lady Sal probably found out and sent Georgie to kill her for that when she was of no use She’s basically the whole reason why the game even happens, since after Lucio’s death, Sal got scared that Georgie might also die because of their way of life, that’s why he wanted to get out of the life and started building the casino

5:44 Sammy knew something was off when Marcano said he had a guy outside to bag up his cut. Notice the focus on Sammys face and the look he gives as Marcano walks to the bar. He even threw in a little extra and there's a pleading look in his eye -- dude knew what was gonna happen and knew he couldn't stop it.

Your probably one of the few that didn't like the story

White dude in video game: *breathes* Dart: that's racist

6:49 During his time of in the military Father James was field medic himself.

This game has a strange case of uncanny valley. Characters looks like wax figures.

"Mardi Gras isn't in New Orleans" does he realize that new Bordeaux IS the New Orleans of this world...?

7:19 there's no incoherence here. The money from the heist helped Marcano consolidate his power, and gain hold of the police force through bribes, a scenario that didn't exist before the heist.

The not going to the hospital for getting shot in the head thing makes sense it would draw attention to him and asking why he was shot

The story was fucking fantastic. Quite repetitive but overall fantastic.

Talks about creativity yet copied CinemaSins. +1

You reviewing this game incorrectly: 1+ Sin

"Yeah, I dont think you can shoot a U.S. senator inside the Capitol Building and just walk out." Man, of all the things to have aged poorly...

The point is the gas can gets burnt like the rest of the evidence...

you should remove a sin for the awesome lipsyncing

You know what’s not wrong? The soundtrack. One of the best ever.

"is Linclon counting their shots"... umm, Special Operations Group... best of the best...

Plot was great gameplay was fun but got boring quick;y due to repetitive gameplay

Actually, I suspect if you shot a US senator in a room with no cops but had other senators, the cops would be praying for you to just walk out. After all, having several senators as hostages and having demonstrated that you're ballsy enough to kill senators is a pretty solid bargaining position as hostage crises go. Granted, once your out and not pointing your gun at anyone, they're probably either going to snipe you or rush and handcuff you so they can kill you with electricity or poison or whatever they used back then. But still, the cops would be more than happy to get you out of the room your hostages are in.

While you're correct about the game being inconsistent, special forces were taught to recognise weapons and count bullets at one point.

11:37 I think he learned that lesson that killing the one guy on top of a gang does NOT mean the whole thing breaks up. Which you pointed out. Also, criminals aren't known for being good at deciding things.

I really like the story of this game although the missions are very repetitive sadly.

"Thumbnail Sins: Everything wrong with this thumbnail" 1.)A video on mafia 3 and had a mafia 2 background.....

Sin 45; Father James was a medic in WWII, so it makes sense that he could have patched him up.

"ThAt's RaCiST!" Jesus dude do you work for CNN or something?

Literally every one of these sins are just either nit pics, or completely wrong :)

still a fun game. Tons of hours of game there

18:33 Last One?? It depends how you play the game. This dude doesnt know anything

- The reason on why they did not name New Bordeaux "New Orleans" is because the game all along never used original city names despite being set in that city. For example, Mafia I was supposed to be set in NYC but then it incoperate elements from Chicago and LA which has a booming Costra Nostra tradition which made up Lost Heaven in the game for Mafia I. Mafia II is set in NYC for real this time and it became Empire Bay so to follow tradition of the whole game, New Orleans was called New Bordeaux. - If you even bother to go through with the whole god damn thing, you'll know that the feud between the Haitians and Sammy goes way before Lincoln even went to Vietnam. The reason why Cassandra din't really trust Lincoln and vice versa was due to the hatred the two gangs had before Lincoln even saved her life. - Sal building that casino even before the law has passed was what the Mafias actually did in Las Vegas. Besides, with Sal still being a party that has ties to the Commision in Empire Bay (New York alike), he could just lobby them to pass in new laws that favours the Mafia and himself. If you go deeper into the game, you'll know he even pockets tons of senators into his side so building the casino even before knowing that it's still a numbers game before the bill passed seems odd but being a mobster, gambling is their forte and he knew he would win. Which in Sal's case, was a gamble straight shot win. - Why Lincoln chose the old, rundown house in the Bayou to meet is simple. The Bayou was no-man's land and only the Dixie mobs run the whole area with close to 0 big shots holding the area securely. While Lincoln did take areas off Marcano's hands, his goons are still around the area and if Lincoln and his lieutanants were to meet in one of the territories they got, war will instantly happen on that particular territory after any negotiations falls through and that would be worse for Lincoln's purpose so organizing the meetings in the Bayou was actually a sound choice as if any negotiations goes wrong or not to favour, it still takes time for his rouge lieutanant to return to his own turf, organize a whole army for war then launch the war. - Why did Sal kill Olivia? PARANOIA! Sal was getting ever more insane when Lou and the rest of the crew got wiped out by one lone warrior that he never finished off. With his whole operation crumbling under his feet and Olivia still surviving after a battle with Lincoln, Sal never knew that Olivia never squealed but killed her off as a precaution or in fear that Olivia had already betrayed him. It's a double edged thing but all I can say is Sal ordering the execution of Olivia is all down to just pure paranoia. - Yes you can't shoot a senator in the Capitol Building and just walk out but that's what makes Donovan what he is. HE'S MOTHERFUCKING JOHN DONOVAN! He doesn't give a flying fuck! He's CIA and he's doing the country a justice kill. Overall, the game has great story, an even better soundtrack and scenery but I'll agree that the mission (Buildups) the the story was totally too grindy and lame. Overall, still a good game though.

5.03 Mardi gras was originated from Mobile Alabama not New Orleans

I always wondered how Father James was strong enough pull Lincoln out of the fire. I mean Lincoln's a big dude.

19:25 right after this there will be a cutscene if you pick rule alone when father James planted the bomb under Lincoln’s car what dartingan should have said: father James just admitted to a murder on live tv.

M3 was an excellent game, and a great addition to the entire "Mafia" storyline... It clearly depicted what life within the different crime factions were like in a large city in the deep south during the latter part of the extremely turbulent 60s...

I'd say BF1. From what I've heard of the game it's going to be scarce pickings though.

I really want Dartigan to do the unthinkable and do a video for the Bioshock games.

Title: MAFIA III. Shows png of main character with rest of the background of MAFIA II

8:05 It wasn´t her Sister, it was her Daughter( It comes later at the Game when You gained Cassandras Trust)

Just wanna correct one minor detail.Giorgi killed olivia out of revenge because she had his uncle lucio killed.Once lincoln trashed her control over frisco fields she was pretty much useless to sal so giorgi had nothing to hold him back

2:17 Godzilla he meant a big man

That awkward moment when he only talks about the cutscenes and appearances and not the *G A M E P L A Y*

6:30 he didn't do it cause they explain later in the game how hospitals don't give much care to people who aren't as "important" as people such as marcano

11:35 I'm pretty sure his mindset/belief changed after he killed Baka and only to find out the Haitians came back with a new leader in Cassandra so obviously he knows he can't just kill the main leader without someone else coming up and replacing him and trying to comeback to kill him. You start at the roots then work your way up to the head.

Does anyone else think Lincoln looks like Russell Wilson on the Seahawks ?

He most likely knew Baka was out of ammo bc he was a spec ops vet in the Phoenix program and probably counts how many rounds his enemy would fire off, most likely knowing the gun the man is using and how many rounds it holds giving him the knowledge of the mans gun being empty 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hes wrong about one sin Its about police chasing in boat only in that place. You can make them chase you in the water if its the search area

to be fair Lincoln tells Donavan that he's making it seem like he needs to take over his business so cassandra and vito and burke will help him take everything that marcano knows and loves before his eyes. He wants to destroy it but makes it seem like he wants to take it over so he'll get help destroying everything. Only thing I'll defend.

It seems as if you are complaining about everything.

11:35 The problem with killing Marcano but not his family members/associates is that they, once in charge, would probably seek revenge for Sal's death or try to kill you just to make sure you ain't coming after them as well. So no matter what, you would be forced to move away from New Bordeaux. And btw, the whole point of Lyncoln's revenge is watching Marcano losing everything before killing him, not just taking him out. He made that very clear the second he met with Donovan.

The story was amazing even through repetitive game play I was still able to enjoy the game because of the story line

Whatever you say about Mafia III, I'm a fanboy 🤓

3:08 - I thought they jumped him because he was part of the Black Mob not because he was Lincoln Clay

10:38 of course he’s gonna count their shots, i don’t know about the military, but it’s still important to count the shots

1:46 Well yes they would check the finger prints on the gas can, but after all wouldn't it be burnt by the gas inside and outside the gas can when they lit it up? 2:24 Obviously there was guards outside the vault, and it's more easier to get the money inside it because no one was in it. 2:32 Well, they planned on grabbing all of the money and storing it in side the vault, so it's easy to grab it all in one go other than going back in and grabbing all of the loose ones outside. 3:11 Since everyone knew that Lincoln was back, they tried making Lincoln as an example to Sammy not to fuck with them. 3:39 He came from the Vietnam War. The US and Vietcong soldiers were trained to count how much their enemy fires, especially with pistols like the M1911 that Baka used. 4:39 Once again, they planned on grabbing all of the money and storing it in side the vault, so it's easy to grab it all in one go other than going back in and grabbing all of the loose ones outside. 9:10 Since his body wasn't found by the police, they might have presumed him to be dead. Father James never said that he rescued Lincoln because he doesn't trust the authorities. 9:36 He basically owns the city and the mobs. He has some friends in the authorities so it's a piece of cake to change laws. If they didn't agree to what Marcano wants, his men will hunt them down. 10:02 It's a underground operation and they didn't want anyone from the city to know they counterfeit and do illegal businesses with the politicians and such. 10:40 [insert Donovan voice] You're goddamn right. 10:45 They meet in grounds where they can't get jumped by other men.

5:45 THANK YOUUU I was so confused about that😂

mafia 2 :) i already asked for it in your stream but still would be awesome ^^

Donovan is awesome: Winner of the only dude in a video game to shoot a senator in a capitol building in front of other senator's then casual walk out while smoking a cigarette award. 😄

Olivia was killed because she hired someone to kill her husband, Lucio. And before she left, Sal told her not to fuck up if the funeral conference went sideways. And Marcano didn't kill Olivia earlier because she was controlling in his rackets in the Frisco Fields district and bringing the money. Olivia fucking up was the reason Sal needed to finally kill her.

How the fuck was calling the FBI "Hoovers fairy brigade" racist?

They totally missed how he kills himself if you don't kill Sal Marcano right away

The only bad thing about this game is that the Takedown of Marcano’s Organisation is *Highly Repetitive* Steps: 1. Go to new District 2. Get intel from Donovan 3. Kill Enforcers, Steal Money, Interrogate Men, Blow up trucks 4. Kill Owner Of The Racket 5. Call an Underboss to Secure Rackets 6. Repeat *Steps 3-5* on the other Racket as Every District has 2 Rackets 7. Locate and Kill the Underboss/Lieutenant and secure District 8. Assign District to an Underboss and Piss the rest of them off so they will leave and you will have to Kill them for some reason 9. Repeat *Steps 1-8* on every other District until you Drive to Casino to Kill Georgi and Sal and either:- *-* Leave City and waste the opportunity of a life time *-* Kill Underbosses and get Blown up by Father James *-* Rule With Underbosses and become *Literally* one of the Most Richest and Influential men In South/ South-East America *Pretty Obvious Choice if you ask me*

17:46 Thinking back on it, Sal may have tried the "percentage of the profits" thing on DeGarmo offscreen, and Stephen said no.

Wait how is racism a sin in a game set in 1968. Yet u sin other games such as assassins creed for changing history to more so fit modern morality

You should do mafia 2

I will never understand why in the hell people can’t follow time jumps in movies, games, etc. Seriously? It’s not that difficult! 🙄

I loved the video keep up the work

Speaking of Nolan North, I think he was personally affected by his performance as Remy DuVal, The klansman grand dragon who gets crispy-Crucified by Lincoln Clay. (spoiler) if you’ve not played a game beside this analysis spoiled it for you. I’m sure he was OK because it was a job and he’s not racist at all.

How is "Messing with Hoover's fairy brigade" racist?

I didn't know the FBI were their own race?

The "why wouldn't just take him to the hospital" if father did that they would call the cops which are under marconos payroll so they would have just dealt with him right then and there do some research on the mob before you make a point

The ledger is the first case of a middle of the book that I wouldn’t sin. It’s a ledger, therefore the “last couple pages” would clearly mean the last the were filled out.

Mafia 3 is a perfect example of how interesting writing and characters can carry otherwise fairly bad game. Yes, the gameplay gets old *really* fast, but I still played through the whole thing, because I was actually interested in the story, I wanted to hear the dialogues, I did give a shit about characters for a change and it was enjoyable despite its flaws. It's hard to actually rate this game, because we normally play games for their, you know, gameplay?, which happened to be seriously lacking, YET I could still recommend playing it. How do you put numerical score on something like that?

Donovan says that the priest was a medic in WW2. So yeah he didnt need to take lincoln to the hospital

Minus 1 sin for Dartigan using the word "disorienting" instead of the bastardized "disorientating".

Nolan North sure does get a lot of work in the gaming industry.

The revenge plot may be cliché but they're in my favorite games.

Jesus for every single sin he counts I realize with my capacity to use brain power and my knowledge of actually playing mafia 3 and using my listening ears and knowledge... That this guy doesn't

The bullet scar one really bothered me for the whole game

😎I strongly disagree I do not concur I liked the Story and the fact that they brought vito back it was a major factor in me buying the game the same can be said for watchdogs 2

The game has a brilliant story just like its predecessors what’s your problem fella.

Here’s my question, how did the senator help, and what exactly did he gain by doing so? I mean, the answer to the second question could be that he was just paid, but seriously, what did he do? The Kennedy assassination in almost every interpretation was carried out with medium to long range weapons at a widely publicized event. I have no idea what this senator could have provided in assistance that the mob required. I don’t know if it’s ever specifically stated, but I’m assuming this guy’s on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The mafia would have no need for access to classified intelligence, or any other service that this guy could provide, in order to kill JFK

Somewhere around 2:00 he mentions fingerprints thing that didnt exist in 60s and 70s
