The player is not the only factor that determines the development of the story. key role play the interests of other heroes, which must be taken into account when playing.
Knowledge psychological portrait allies and opponents will allow you to get almost complete control over the situation. Special meaning has information about the biography and personal aspirations of these figures.

Lincoln Clay
The main character"Mafia 3" is one of the most controversial characters in history. The action takes place in his hometown called New Bordeaux. The most significant points life path Clay's combat experience in Vietnam and growing up as a racial minority without a family in the southern states, known for their intolerance, are. That is why Lincoln handles admirably with different types weapons and painfully perceives the racial issue. Thanks to his military experience at 23, Clay is a typical cynic. He has a strong physique, which is why he is especially strong in hand-to-hand combat and is a difficult opponent for anyone who chooses to stand in his way. Another defining feature of his personality is revenge.

Vito Scaletta
This character smoothly migrated from the previous part of the game. He is a kind of combination of the stories of the second and third parts. The years began to take their toll, but in return, Vito gained life experience. He began to attach importance to the kind of people around him. After the betrayal of the Italian mafia, he became obsessed with the idea of ​​revenge. Clay skillfully plays on this feeling. Excellent voice acting was done by Rick Pasqualone, just like in the previous game in the series.

Thomas Burke
Burke is a charismatic and outgoing native of Ireland with a soft spot for alcohol and casinos. The list of his skills is really impressive: from the ability to negotiate with police patrols to the ability to upgrade Lincoln Clay's car and significantly improve its performance. This character masterfully owns weapons and understands explosives. He leads an Irish syndicate and teamed up with the main character to win back his place in the criminal world. His position was once shaken by the Italian mafia. Therefore, Burke does not like Vito Scaletta.

Cassandra
This woman has her own scores with the Italian mafia, and with Sal Marcano personally. She is driven by a desire to restore justice and get even for human trafficking. The head of the Haitian gang lost to the Italians in a dispute over territory and, therefore, was forced to join Clay. Despite the fact that she is one of Clay's lieutenants, there is some tension between them, due to the fact that he does not share her position on the slave trade. The relationship between them will depend on the decisions of the protagonist on the division of territories. For her ability to obstruct the communication of enemies and figure out the plans of the enemy, Kassandra was nicknamed the queen of voodoo. She is also able to get almost any weapon in the game.

Sal Marcano
One of the most influential people the criminal world of New Bordeaux began his life in poverty. After he served time, he made a fortune on drugs, which he invested in the purchase of real estate. He directed a lot of funds precisely to equip New Bordeaux. In the past, he patronized Vito Scaletta. Meeting this antagonist will be the main event of the game, the outcome of which will depend on the player's actions. The prototypes of this character are Carlos Marcello and Carlo Falcone.

Tommy, Lou and Georgie
These characters are part of the Italian New Bordeaux mafia. Georgie is the son of the main antagonist, while Tommy and Lou are Sal's brothers. Tommy appears on the screen already in a promotional video. His role in the family has not yet been established. In the video, Clay kidnaps him and has a "confidential" conversation with him in a deserted swamp. Georgie is responsible for the death of Clay's best friend and for the scar that the main character got on the same day.
Sal Marconi is the protector of his brother Lou, who makes money throwing parties for politicians with drugs and girls. This allows Sal to have his own leverage among politicians. And that is why the territory of Lu is under the close influence of the protagonist and will serve as a subject of controversy.

Tony Deratio
This character wears glasses and shaves his skull perfectly. Tony is in control of the city's downtown, so his path will inevitably cross paths with Lincoln Clay's plans. Their meeting will be a tense moment of the game.

Sam Robinson and Father James
Sam dies before the start of the game due to the fault of Sal Marconi. Robinson ran Clay's hometown of Delray Hollow. This area came under the control of the Italians and was given to Richie Doucet. Clay witnessed the burning of the Robinsons' bar and the murder of its owner. Having received a serious injury, he dropped out of the game for a while. His adoptive father, the priest Father James, helped him recover from his wound. As a believer, James does not approve of the idea of ​​revenge and seeks to help the protagonist abandon this idea.
In Mafia 3 you will find incredible complicated relationship between the characters and the clash of many points of view, among which it is difficult to single out the only true one. Thanks to this, the history of the criminal world of 1968 attracts with its ambiguity and depth.

Why did I like the third part even more than the sequel.

To bookmarks

To begin with, it is worth defining my position from the point of view of the experience of communication with the Mafia series. I am 27 years old and have been playing games for as long as I can remember. For the first time I saw the first part in 2002 on the cover of a then popular magazine, a little later a pirated disc was bought - an incredible delight and love forever. I played the second part many years later in a less romantic time - I bought it on Steam, again I was delighted. But with repeated passages, a feeling appeared, as if something was not right here.

And so the third coming took place. To be honest, I did not fully believe that I would ever see the Mafia screensaver on the monitor again. But it happened and I'm damn happy.

My Artifacts - Mafia & Mafia II

New Bordeaux, 1968

The protagonist Lincoln Clay has just returned from Vietnam. Lincoln is a Negro, and in 1968 being a Negro in the South of the USA is not the best decision. Trying to survive and somehow earn some money, Lincoln goes to rob a bank, but the "friends" give up right after the division of the booty ... all the relatives are dead, and Lincoln lies on a bed in the church, having miraculously survived after being shot in the head (apparently, the brain for bandits is not the best important part of the body). But soon the hunters will become victims.

Sometimes at night, I swear, footsteps in soldier's boots can be heard upstairs. I understand that this is just an old house that will fasten and groan with floorboards ... But every time I think - what if it was Lincoln Clay who came to my soul?

Glue. Lincoln Clay.

The story of Mafia 3 is simple and banal - the main character avenges his family by killing mafiosi one by one, getting to the very top. But the developers managed to tell her epic - powerful cutscenes with downhole music and bloody murders are in the first place here. The scriptwriters did something different from the first and second parts, showing the "Mafia" not from the side of expensive costumes, beautiful women and shiny cars, and from the side ordinary people that drown in blood. Plus, it's interesting to feel and feel the theme of racism - to find out how it was when you can't go to a cafe or a laundry. And then slaughter a couple of local Confederates who still dream of returning slavery.

Clearly understood.

Lincoln's company will be made up of several very high-quality characters, such as the holy father with a cigarette in his hands or the cheerful CIA officer Donovan. And the main mafia boss Sal Marcano literally infuriates with his every appearance in the frame and I want to put a couple of bullets into the bastard. It will be all the more pleasant to watch how we take away from him everything that is dear to him. Piece by piece, district by district, person by person, Clay will take everything from the old man. And then he will come for his life.

I'm sure if the game had only a story company, without open world and attempts to stretch the game with monotonous tasks - it would have been accepted much better. For journalists, the shorter the game, the better, less work, and school experts would download from a torrent and, having run for 10 hours, would be quite satisfied.

In principle, if you do not buy, then the game justifies its money.

5-A class

Gopnik vs Punisher

Are you really going to say that the Mafia III campaign is worse than Vito's story? In Mafia II, everything brought pleasure: beautiful cars, music, the atmosphere of the city, physics, interesting missions and locations, the change of seasons, even the merry Joe. Everything was perfect, except for the plot and the main character. I replayed the game last year and just did not understand - why should I play a gopnik who will do anything for an extra dollar? Just remember the hero's reaction to his sister's call, when she says that she no longer wants to see him - a stone face! Absolute indifference. His lines constantly made me grind my teeth, Vito's only motivation is money, cars and heifers.

Vito himself. How old he is. Apparently, money did not bring happiness.

In the same GTA series, the gangsters have always been interesting, individual (except for the nameless kid from GTA 3), crazy like Trevor after all, but Vito is like a "smooth kid" from neighboring yard. Probably, only such guys can be interested in this exciting story "how the kid went to success." Therefore, Lincoln, even if he is a banal avenger-punisher, is still much more suitable for the role of the protagonist in the game.

If desired, in Mafia III, you can realize a past dream and kill Vito. Another game finally answers the question that has worried millions of gamers for years - what happened to Joe? Turns out he was in on the deal. Although the developers do not give us any explanation of the events, it is clear that Joe's cameo does not make sense and is inserted into the game solely for the sake of hype.

City of lost skies

New town, new car, new Mafia.

What else is good in Mafia III, except for the company? For example, the beautifully made city and the atmosphere of 1968 are the main pluses of the game for me. Magnificent New Bordeaux consists of completely different neighborhoods in spirit: the black ghetto, the alligator swamps, the rich white areas, the French Quarter. And again, the same feeling as in distant childhood, when you seem to be transported into the past and enjoy the adventure. And after all, there are not so many such GTA-like games in different historical eras: GTA, Godfather, Mafia, The Saboteur and... that's it? It feels like the creation of a city, a car and an atmosphere is no longer considered something important among gamers, but is taken for granted.

And cars, oh my God, what kind of cars are here. It's just incredible. Of course, I liked the cars in the first or second mafia, but here ... I fell in love with the 1968th. Each car is a masterpiece, each contour is magnificent. A huge number of muscle cars, long hulls and powerful motors. All this charm is incredibly pleasant to drive, groom and cherish. For my taste, these cars were the best in the history of mankind.

Is it possible to resist such a crumb?

Here we will add chic music, which will become best friend gamer. Box Tops, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Creedence, Animals with their immortal "House of the Rising Sun". Every song is a hit, every muscle car ride through the old city to a new song is priceless. Here it is! That's what we experienced in the first part and in the second - adventure, travel, music, cars, atmosphere. All this is in Mafia III.

Try it, approach the game with the pure joy of a child who has received a favorite toy - pleasure is here and now, waiting for you around the next bend in New Bordeaux in 1968.

Eh, times! Yes, again, and many more times.

Not gonna get us!

The main problem of the third Mafia, which many stick out to the fore, is the monotony of missions. Indeed, in addition to interesting story missions we'll have to reclaim territory from the mafia. District after district, business after business. The main gameplay is pretty monotonous - we drive into the area, find out who is driving what, take out a couple of thugs, destroy the goods, and so on. Heels, makeup and this area is ours.

On the one hand, this is weak and does not compare in any way with, say, the 69 missions of the GTA V plot (although few games can even compare with GTA V). But on the other hand, the developers managed to make the action interesting. The gameplay turned out to be very successful - stealth in the corners, cutting out enemies one by one is very easy and pleasant, bold and bloody. And then you jump out and have a hell of a shootout. Execution animations are generally something divine and bloody. Killing in close combat is pure pleasure, reminiscent of the days of the games "The Punisher" and "Dead to Rights".

The gameplay is fire.

A typical day in Mafia 3 looks something like this:

I got into a cool car, turned on the radio, my favorite "give me a ticket for an airplane" played;

I drove to the point, drifting and squeezing through the traffic;

He burst in, stabbed and shot everyone;

Repeat.

Yes, the enemies are stupid. Yes, you can see through the walls. Yes, the most protected base can be easily laid in stealth, but I like it. In the mafia, you can enjoy the process. Permissiveness intoxicates, rigidity and violence absorbs the player. In the game, you are the real god Lincoln Clay and it is up to you to decide who will live and who will go to rot in the swamp to be eaten by alligators.

The guys in white thought they were better than the others. We'll figure out.

Remember the first and second Mafia. The first was Free Ride Extreme after the story, the second was store robberies and terrible DLC with a bald guy and Joe, filled with standard GTA-like tasks. Even then, the developers tried to "stretch" the game, to keep the player, so that he would have at least something to do after a short story campaign. The second Mafia always ends abruptly for me. You play, you catch a fan, you buy suits, you fill the garage with cars, and then bang - the final credits. Hey, where is this all to go now?

Mafia III decided to stretch the game itself, based on resources and budget, and Hangar 13 turned out to be a pretty decent price-performance ratio. For example, I bought a game on a PC and got 50-60 hours of a great adventure for 2k rubles. Would I take a game for 2k that lasts 10 hours? No, I wouldn't.

Mafia 3 game characters with names. Lincoln Clay is the central character. Strong, durable, shoots well. He fought in Vietnam, where he received a baptism of fire. He fights with mafia clans to avenge the murder of his friends. And who else is in the third part?

In addition to the main line of the game, side tasks will be given from the friends of the protagonist, where you will need to complete tasks assigned by the lieutenants. Lieutenants are called representatives of groups that are on good terms with Lincoln. For completing the tasks given by the lieutenants, they can provide support in the upcoming battle or buy the hero from the police. Each lieutenant has his own history, which you need to know in order to form a close relationship with him.

The game starts with judicial trial where John Donovan is Lincoln's former running mate during Vietnam War, tells about the events of 1968 in New Borda, the city where the events of the game take place. It is John who will be the narrator in the game and will introduce the player to the course of the whole matter. Since John is no longer a friend of Lincoln at the time of the story, he reveals the secrets of a former comrade. Tells that Lincoln had problems with the Italian mafia and fought with them for several years. During the meeting, new facts of the proceedings appear from which we can learn that Lincoln is on this moment he is not fighting the mafia alone, but has teamed up with several criminal groups that also sharpen their teeth on the mafia.
The main character went to the army and the war, after which he became very cruel and bloodthirsty, because in the war he lost many of his friends and relatives, saw many deaths and killed many people himself. After the war he came to his native city and joined the "Black Mafia", which is at enmity with the Italian mafia. The protagonist began to consider the "Black Mafia" his family. Lincoln's group was constantly dealing with the Italian mafia, so the mafiosi killed several of his comrades. On one of the showdowns, a stray bullet hit the main character himself, and after that he had already ceased to control his anger. Since Lincoln gathered a fairly large group, crushing almost the entire city, the enemy began to fear him. The main character has a goal to avenge himself and his family, so he calls his group "Black Mafia".

The trailer for the game Mafia 3 shows Lincoln's team, with which he will fight against the Italian mafiosi. The leader of the "Black Mafia" has assembled a large and strong team that can fight back any mafia. But no one knows who the imaginary friends might turn out to be, what if one of them turns out to be a spy and an enemy? For example, the hero from Mafia 2 Vitto Antonio Scaleta, who was previously the head of the Italian mafia. This hero can be very useful to you, because long time spins in mafia circles and knows a lot about everything. Try to maintain good relationship with this hero, give him the captured territories and complete tasks for him. Then he will share with you useful information and give to help their subordinates.
Remember that all your actions will be monitored not only by your friends in the story of the game, but also by your enemies, act carefully, otherwise the end of the game may lead to your death. But you can always return to the initial stage and go all over again.

The main character is a black guy Lincoln Clay. He grew up in an orphanage, so he appreciates and understands the word "Family". His main motto is "Family is not those with whom you grew up. These are those for whom you are ready to give your life." The hero is sent to war, where he survives by making friends.

Soon, Lincoln returns from the war and is gladly accepted into his gang, where there are the same as him - blacks. Why did they huddle in one flock? After all, skin color means nothing. In fact, the action takes place in 1968, where the bad attitude of white people towards blacks reigns.

Crime boss Sal Marcano teams up with a black leader for a very lucrative bank heist. And so, the son of the chief mafia and Lincoln go to the bank. Having robbed it and killed a bunch of people, they somehow escape. Soon everyone comes to his boss and gives the loot, but is it all that simple? No. Sal Marcano - A man who always crushes everything under himself and loves to be the boss in everything, so he decides to kill this gang so that later they don’t share territory with them and simply so that they don’t interfere.

Marcano's people and the boss himself come to the bar, which are led by their "allies". Naturally, after a short time of drinking, all the blacks are dead, except ... Except for the main character, of course! Lincoln is pulled out by a local priest and decides to patch him up. As Clay woke up, he immediately conducts a dialogue with the priest and decides to destroy the entire criminal syndicate of Sal in order to destroy the efforts of his whole life, and then Sal himself.

Next, the black man finds his allies. There are only three of them: Vito Scaletta, who is the main character of the second part of the Mafia game series, Burke and Cassandra. Lincoln needs them to destroy Sal Marcano's life. They all have reasons for this.

Vito had been working for a criminal boss for a long time, but they had a conflict and Sal simply could not stand it, so he sent a killer to Scaletta, but Lincoln managed to warn Vito and the killer himself was in a trap. As a result, Vito himself realizes that his district, which he ruled, is no longer his and joins Lincoln.

Burke wants revenge. He is Irish by nationality. Sal did not tolerate Thomas Burke's frivolous lifestyle, and he let him down. Marcano kills an Irishman's son and sends Burke to a man named "The Butcher" who beats ex man Marcano and makes an invalid on his feet for life. And the main condition for Burke's cooperation: When they find the Butcher, Thomas himself will deal with him.

The dark-skinned girl Cassandra wants revenge and wants her place in this world, so she sees her chance in the main character and will join.
