Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 2-4
We're all set to take another territory. And this time our good friend Vito is going to help us. https://youtu.be/YCME0TwVcb4 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre And with that, we only have a single crime boss left to befriend. That means next time, we'll hopefully be out of the...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 2-3
Our good buddy Vito, from Mafia 2, is back. And this time, he's one of our big three contacts. https://youtu.be/Let1C0Syh9k Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre There's a lite element of emergent, immersive sim-like gameplay I'm seeing here in Mafia that I never saw in the other Mafia games...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 2-2
It's time for our first big "boss battle". https://youtu.be/-4BDqIk85QE Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre What I appreciate most about the documentary-style framing device is that it helps ground the game in a way that'd be difficult to pull off otherwise. The sheer amount of murder and carnage that...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 2-1
It's a strange feeling when a character in a video game shares a name with your co-host. It's even more strange when we have to kill that character as part of the story. https://youtu.be/qwXWN8wy2z0 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre Three of the four episodes from the last recording...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 1-4
Well, we've been handed as good an excuse as any to go on a roaring rampage of revenge. We might as well use it. https://youtu.be/fAZ4-gb0rhQ Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre The amount of "open world busywork" compared to other games in the series was the reason I was...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 1-3
No better time to commit a crime than Mardi Gras. https://youtu.be/JRx1dgTnOgU Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre As far as motivations go, this is about as strong a motivation as one can get to seek revenge. The historical context of the setting and Lincoln's status as a Vietnam veteran...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 1-2
We've waiting long enough. It's time to take out Sussy Baka. https://youtu.be/NXg3zfN9hwM Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre Framing devices like these documentary-style cut-ins are quite effective in my experience. They serve the same purpose they would in a true documentary, filling in gaps where needed while seeding plot...
Mafia 3: Definitive Edition – Part 1-1
Andre tells me that this is his favorite out of all the Mafia games. Let us see if it lives us to the hype. https://youtu.be/LKkEdbz5jNY Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre I'm not going to hold licensed music against Hangar 13. The Twitch streaming boom hadn't hit yet when...
Mafia 2: Definitive Edition – Part 2-4
There seems to always be a point in these Mafia games where the consequences of a life of crime are put on full display, for the whole world to see. And we're about at that time. https://youtu.be/9kp54fQYlMs Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre I'm going to need to really unpack...
Mafia 2: Definitive Edition – Part 2-3
Looks like we have some greasers trying to muscle in on the Italian Mafia. Truly, I can't imagine how this will go well for them. https://youtu.be/f1I3H_Rcc4c Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre Once again, Andre's knowledge of firearms far eclipses my own, and I'm grateful for the knowledge.
