r/MafiaTheGame

I just finished Mafia Old Country. I absolutely LOVED mafia 2 as a kid on the xbox and completed it an absurd amount of times. I played mafia 3 a little bit but got very bored very quickly since it kinda strayed away from the whole vibe i was used to.

Now i think i would understand it more and am wondering if its worth a playthrough? I know it has probably the most mixed reviews from all the games so not sure. Is it really any good?

i’m trying to platinum, any tips would be appreciated

This is the most god awful racing I've ever seen. I've had so many pedestrians dive in front of my car, traffic becoming roadblocks by just stopping for no reason, and the AI cars mysteriously have better acceleration even if I have a better car.

And this is BEFORE the type requirement.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?????

Title: Mafia Needs a Modern Setting to Evolve

Hello,

I’m a big fan of the Snowfall-style storytelling and the Mafia series, but I feel like the historical settings in Mafia are becoming predictable. The storytelling is always strong, but the overall formula needs a fresh direction.

My main suggestion: make the next Mafia game set in the modern world.

Today’s organized crime is global and much more complex — involving different groups (American, Russian, Albanian, Turkish, etc.), each with their own identity, style, and way of doing business.

What could make it stand out:

- Player choice with real consequences (who to trust, who to kill, branching story)

- Business control (casinos, clubs, hotels, illegal operations)

- Territory system (expand, negotiate, or go to war)

- Crew management (give orders, build your own organization)

- Modern atmosphere (luxury lifestyle, power, influence)

- Dynamic and cinematic background music that adapts to the situation and intensifies during extreme or high-tension moments

Story direction (inspired by realistic character progression):

Instead of starting as a powerful criminal, the character should begin as a young person from a poor background, involved in small street-level crime. Step by step, through opportunities, pressure, and choices, the character rises in the criminal world.

Over time, the character changes — not because they were always ruthless, but because the environment, power, and survival shape them into something darker.

The key theme should be:

power is addictive, and once you have it, you can’t walk away.

I believe this direction could refresh the series and make it stand out again by offering a more realistic and immersive criminal experience.

Thank you for your work — I’d love to see the series evolve in this direction.

I would appreciate it if you could evaluate this idea and share your thoughts.

Ive played the other mafia games recently, and mafia 3 is only 5$ on steam right now, ive been searching up rather i should get the definitive edition or just the normal version because some say the def version is just worse than the standard; what do you guys think is actually the best experience.

I searched it online but i can't find a website to play it

Hey yall, i just finished Mafia 2s main story some days ago and the DLCs like "Joes Adventures" and the others seemed a little boring compared to the main story... is it worth playing and just to keep going with it?
