my computer crashed in a weird way an hour into this vod and the way the game is had me just assume that the game had glitched instead of my computer breaking. awesome
If you do end up continuing the series, I'd suggest box truck robberies and robbing the banks in little Italy. Gets you rolling in the dough. If you fire some shots into one of the trucks, it will open up with 2 guys to fight. They have automatics and shotgun, but after you kill them, one will drop 1-2000 dollars. Getting back home with it is hectic if you drive a truck, but as soon as you step into your safe house you're good. Same with the banks, but it's police that chase you after you blow the safe with dynamite and take the cash. Lots of love for this game, thanks for playing it!
kinda wild seeing the environmental combat stuff comback in sleeping dogs and splinter cell conviction of all places. Also Mafia 3 basically took this games entire gameplay loop.
Honestly I think those days are back better than ever. We've had some alright licensed games in the past few years. I think the 2010s was just a huge slump for licensed games, but there's now a modest chance again that they might be alright.
@@ryoki_PH Honestly, in a way, even corporate products are starting to improve in quality as time goes on, because they can no longer get away with being the only movie in the theater, the only CDs on the rack or the only thing halfway decent on TV. The market for media is far more competitive now, with everyone having much greater access to a wide variety of interesting art and better methods of finding art that specifically appeals to them. Consequently, I feel like we've seen an overall rise in the quality of media produced by corporations. This is certainly not universally true and in many ways the corporate sludge-lines deluge us as ever, but I notice that there are a lot more decent licensed games. I also notice that there are vastly more good TV shows to watch now than ever--some people really act like we're in some dearth of deep TV or movies, but I think they just don't know where to look beyond all the corporate sludge superhero movies and such. Finally, I see the critical and popular consensus converge on musical artists way more often these days. Certainly hating popular music doesn't make you cool or give you a personality, but I feel it's fairly obvious that a lot of the most successful artists in the 2010s/2000s were not exactly critical darlings. Now, though, you see a lot of very highly acclaimed, best-of-all-time music or at least musicians ending up high on the pop charts. Overall, I think the public's access to incredible art has greatly broadened, which also forced corporations to compete on harsher terms to some extent, leading to a corollary increase in the quality of media as well. Might just be my wishful thinking or confirmation bias, but who knows.
