You mean the generic mixture of action sandbox elements series?
I think the first is the best game ever made.
2 was mediocre, and the 3rd looks like absolute garbage.

You might as well not call this a Mafia game because it has none of the charm of the first two games.
>>335045595
The Godfather was superior to Mafia in every way. Shit taste bruv

Since you're not gonna get many honest replies I'll give it a shot.
I think the games have had great potential that they never quite reached. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Mafia II. There were little things like the authenticity of the world, seeing it evolve from the 40s to the 50s, hearing songs on the radio that you would have heard back then, and having a setting to make you drive the speed limit because cops would pull you over if they caught you speeding. Also vintage porn.
It all felt really genuine and authentic but they gave you this huge game map and nothing to do in it. The world could have felt so immersive but instead ended up feeling empty and pointless. Gameplay wise it was a good cover shooter and the driving was decent but it didn't do much beyond that. So basically the series has had a lot of potential that it hasn't lived up to.
That being said I don't like the idea of playing as a black guy in a Mafia game. Not that I have anything against playing as a black guy. San Andreas is still my favorite GTA, and I love Mario games, but the game should be about the mob.
Organized crime that is referred to as a mafia has always been predominantly Italian. You could make the case for a Russian mafia game, but, at least in pop culture, the mafia is Italian.
If you were going to make an organized crime game about a black protagonist, it should be about gangs. A hispanic gang would be about cartels. Etc.
It's not even that I'M racist, it's more of the fact that Italian crime bosses are very racist and this concept doesn't seem very authentic.
I'm willing to forgive it if the game is good, but the series has yet to prove that it is anything above decent.

>how do you know its shit if not out yet
I dont need to see the whole fucking game to see that this could be named "GTA with nig nog" and is connected to Mafia games just by the name.
>>335045367
Looks more Dominican to me.
>>335045738
I like both but Mafia had a great story worthy of the classic Hollywood mafia films. The gameplay and world were great too. Godfather and Scarface come second to it in my opinion.
>>335044932
1st is a masterpiece.
2nd could be a masterpiece, but 2k jewed out half of content and Vávra left studio. Was really disappointing, but still pretty solid. DLCs were utter shit, though.
3rd is made by a fucker that didn't even play Mafia games, so he made a Watch Dogs 2 instead. Will pirate because I like shit.

Those skin pores, jesus christ.
Take over outposts, err, rackets, using half-assed sneaking mechanics! Don't worry, we put in markers above each enemy and also that detection indicator that probably means we'll have to pay Ubisoft off.
This shit makes me want to play a superior game about mafia takeovers instead.

One-drop rule.
I never played the first one, but Mafia 2 was a pretty good throwback to the ps2 era where gta clones were being released left and right.
I'm excited for 3
>>335047243
I really liked the Godfather 2, but the small cities bugged me.
Would be so awesome if they made this guy a main character. Kicking mafia's asses and destroying their drug empire. With dancing minigames.

That's the point, he's a fabulous negro.

First one is a masterpiece, it just oozes atmosphere.
Second is pretty, but really boring.

Tribal art and mythology are really interesting
Always wanted to try out this series. How come they aren't on steam or gog or any other distributor?
>>335051009
>not made by Ben garrison
Trash.
>>335051382
Just pirate them, the guys who worked on them are now in a different studio and 2K does not deserve your money for shit like this https://tcrf.net/Mafia_II/Cut_Missions
>>335051382
2k removed them from Steam
they don't want people to see what the first two mafia games were like
Also like >>335051601 said the original studio doesn't even exist anymore
Only played the first one. Came in with no expectations, came out absolutely loving it.
2 i didn't care about and this one seems like typical neo-cancer.
Wtf is this? Mafia or GTA? The UI looks like a complete copy of GTA V
>>335046084
>the only black mob to exist was in Philadelphia
>LET'S SET IT IN NAWLINS!
This game makes no fucking sense from a setting standpoint.
The second game had an amazing atmosphere. Snowfall, bombers flying over the city, I could just walk or drive around and enjoy it. Too bad the game itself wasn't very fun.
