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. My...
Mafia 2: Definitive Edition – Part 2-2
We have finally encountered the troubles with terrible checkpoints in older video games, and for that reason we have to replay an entire ten minute chunk after encountering issues with it. https://youtu.be/ZrwLz9twb80 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloudAndre at https://www.twitch.tv/goodoleandre If you somehow don't know the origin of "Inflates you making...
