Mafia II (Video Game)	comment	Mafia II is an action-adventure game and sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, developed by 2K Czech. It was released on August 24, 2010.During World War II, Vito Scaletta, a young poverty-stricken resident of Empire Bay (a Fictional Counterpart of New York City, with elements from San Francisco), is caught committing robbery and he chooses serving in the army during their invasion of Europe instead of going to jail. Vito is however wounded in service, and is sent home to Empire Bay for a month - but upon his arrival, he discovers that things have taken a turn for the worse. His father has died and has left his family with a massive debt of $2000... money which the local loan shark is getting quite anxious to get back.While Vito has been gone, his friend, the small-time criminal Joe Barbaro, has been busy getting connections within the local Clemente crime family. He is able to use them to get Vito some forged discharge documents and a foot in the mob's door, offering Vito a chance to pay off the family debt.A sequel, Mafia III, came out in 2016. A Definitive Edition remaster of Mafia II was released in May 2020, with all DLC included and Steam owners of the original release getting the Definitive Edition update for free.An Alternate Universe DLC pair of expansions called Mafia II: The Betrayal of Jimmy and Jimmy's Vendetta were released on PS3 before all consoles also exists.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_1aecaf6c	comment	The characters are about as racist as you would expect them to, the game being set in the 1940s and 1950s and all that. For instance, on the way to a bar situated in an African-American community, when asked about whether the place has changed since Vito had left for Europe, Joe goes on a bitter tirade against the local black community, calling them animals who only know how to sell dope, multiply and kill each other. Later on, while Drowning His Sorrows at the same bar, he tells Vito he walked there because he "wouldn't park [his] car in this neighborhood!"

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_259d5879	type	Anachronism Stew
Mafia II (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Playboy magazines appear throughout the game, which starts in 1945 and ends in 1951, when in Real Life Playboy's first issue was released in 1953. The game also has a radio newsflash about polls showing Dwight Eisenhower and his running mate Richard Nixon easily winning the presidency in the 1952 election in September of 1951. Eisenhower didn't announce his candidacy until March of 1952 and even after announcing it faced a tough primary battle before getting the nomination. Empire Bay has a SWAT team, as seen in the DLC's "Joe's Adventures", both of them set in The '50s, although the very first Real Life SWAT units weren't formed until 1968. The song "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", performed by Dean Martin, is featured in the game, even though the song came out in 1960. The Remington 870, a shotgun manufactured starting in 1951 can be seen used by the Empire Bay Police Department in 1943. Several cars, such as the Shubert Beverly (second generation Chevrolet Bel Air), Smith Custom 200 (1957 Ford Custom 300) and Smith Thunderbolt (1955 Ford Thunderbird), are based on, and have the design aesthetics of, cars produced much later in the decade. A similar, yet strange case exists with the Lassiter Series 69, a car based off a late '40s/early '50s Cadillac that for some reason is plentiful in the 1945 sections, where its bulkier post-war design makes it stick out like a sore thumb. And while the Series 69 still sees some occasional use as a Mook Mobile (in both the main game and in two of the DLCs) once the story transitions to the '50s, it becomes vanishingly rare among civilian traffic until it's phased out entirely by the late game. They had the right year for the car, yet placed it in the wrong one. This situation is inverted with the Smith Deluxe Station Wagon. Despite the fact that it is based on a late '30s Ford car (with a continental tire at the back and wooden plating, both of which became popular in the early '40s) that wouldn't be out-of-place in 1945, the car doesn't actually appear until 1951. This mistake appears to be fixed in two of the DLCs that take place in the '50s, where the car does not appear at all. With the right DLC installed (or owning the Definitive Edition), the player can drive concept cars from the latter half of the 1950's (the Jefferson Futura and Potomac Elysium, based on concepts from 1955 and 1956, respectively), even while in the 1940's part of the game. Overall, most of the game is anachronistic being set in 1951 but containing things from all across the 1950s, especially the more well known elements from its latter half - most egregiously, the game changes the year of Tommy's assassination from 1957 to 1951 - they could have kept the original date and avoided most of the anachronisms that way! The Version-Exclusive Content for the Definitive Edition includes the Samson Drifter, based off the 1970 Ford Gran Torino, as well as Lincoln's Vietnam-era civvies. Not quite as glaring as some of the other examples, though, given that only Vito gets to use them.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The scene where Vito slowly lifts a few crates and brings them to a pallet, then refuses to do any more, is a bit of Self-Deprecation regarding the agonizingly long segment of one of the first game's penultimate missions when you had to do this in seriousness. In the hotel mission, after Joe detonates the bomb in the room full of mobsters, then he and Vito find out their target survived because he happened to be in the bathroom at the time, Vito mutters "lucky bastard"â€” which was also the name of a mission in the first Mafia wherein a rival mobster kept surviving the Salieri family's attempts to kill him through improbable coincidences until Tommy was forced to just chase him down and shoot him (which Vito and Joe also have to do here).

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_27b2bccc	comment	No Flow in CGI: Mafia II averts this, at least partially, with the loose ends of your character's jacket, tie or trenchcoat flapping about when in motion, courtesy of an improved Phys X engine. This feature was a selling point promoted by the developers before release, even though it has absolutely no bearing in gameplay. It's not perfect either; push the limits of the game engine, and said parts of Vito's clothes may end up stuck and mangled within his body. Possibly due to these reasons, it was removed from the Mafia II: Definitive Edition remaster.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Averted with most of the families except the Vinci family, who explicitly prohibit drug dealing. Given what happens after Vito and Joe's tryst into drug dealing you can see why. Vito's an example of this too. Despite being a thug and killer for most of the game, he cares enough for his sister to kick the shit out of her abusive husband and hates misogynists in general. He's also the character who's the most respectful to minorities, rarely using racial slurs to describe them unless they're already being aggressive towards him. Overall he comes across as acting racist towards people he dislikes, rather than disliking people because of their race. Amusingly subverted in the fact that Vito doesn't have any major objections to dealing drugs.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	type	Game-Breaking Bug
Mafia II (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: Chapter 14 (Stairway to Heaven) has numerous bugs that prevent you from progressing the campaign, forcing you to restart from the beginning of the chapter completely, which is particularly egregious as it's one of the longest chapters in the game. At the construction site, if you stealth kill the first three goons instead of shooting them, Joe's A.I. will break and he'll just stand in one place on the roof doing nothing. Not only does this make the level much harder as you'll have to fight through a small army of goons without his help, but it becomes impossible to exit the level as you need him to trigger the exit door. The game also autosaves as soon as you change floors, so if you trigger the bug then trigger an autosave you're stuck and have to completely restart the chapter to fix it. After dropping Joe off at El Greco's, you will be tasked with delivering the money earned to Bruno. When you arrive at Bruno's, the door that leads into the building will occasionally not allow entry, making further progression into the game impossible. Even more troubling is the fact that if the player is able to enter the door and trigger the cutscene, the game will sometimes enter an endless loading loop from which it will not recover. Supposedly this bug is caused by robbing shops during the chapter after picking up Derek's "retirement fund".

For more severe crimes like beating people up, they'll bring out the cuffs and try to arrest you. Start killing? The gloves are off, and they'll bring out the guns - first pistols, then shotguns, and then Thompsons. If you're fighting someone and no one has died, however, a cop will just stop the fight. At lower wanted levels, it's also feasible to simply bribe the police.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_42502bbe	comment	Updated Re Release: The 2020 Definitive Edition remaster features improved graphics including all new, completely redone, high-resolution textures and new lighting effects. It also supports high refresh rate gameplay, whereas the original version would break at high FPS without an external mod. However, it also removes cloth physics and many minor physics in general, and also has draw distance and Z-fighting issues. Some of the loading screens in the DLC are also censored as they depicted female nudity.

Immediately after that, Vito isn't even able to steal a car, pick locks, or even grab a gun before Joe helps him/teaches him how. Given that that segment of the prologue is set two years later, Vito recently took a bullet, and is initially on leave from the Army before Joe forges him discharge papers, it makes sense.

Vito and Joe are also not wearing the same clothing as the hitmen in Mafia (although Vito can be, if you put on the corresponding suit before accepting the mission) and Joe shoots Tommy with a full-sized shotgun, rather than the sawn-off "lupara" shotgun that the hitman used in Mafia. And the house and background are slightly different, particularly the conical bushes in the yard. Mafia: Definitive Edition moves the date to 1951 to be consistent with Mafia II and changes Vito and Joe's outfits to their designs from II.

Despite being a thug and killer for most of the game, he cares enough for his sister to kick the shit out of her abusive husband and hates misogynists in general. He's also the character who's the most respectful to minorities, rarely using racial slurs to describe them unless they're already being aggressive towards him. Overall he comes across as acting racist towards people he dislikes, rather than disliking people because of their race. Amusingly subverted in the fact that Vito doesn't have any major objections to dealing drugs.

It's also entirely possible that the game has an outright downer ending where Joe and Vito have outlived their usefulness to the Vinci family, with the two of them being unceremoniously killed so the Vincis can rise to power due to no real opposition anymore. The sequel confirms that Vito and Joe survive, with the former exiled to New Bordeau and the latter serving as Leo's personal driver.

This results in the mob wanting to turn them over to avert a war. Especially when it comes out that Henry was a rat.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: The characters are about as racist as you would expect them to, the game being set in the 1940s and 1950s and all that. For instance, on the way to a bar situated in an African-American community, when asked about whether the place has changed since Vito had left for Europe, Joe goes on a bitter tirade against the local black community, calling them animals who only know how to sell dope, multiply and kill each other. Later on, while Drowning His Sorrows at the same bar, he tells Vito he walked there because he "wouldn't park [his] car in this neighborhood!" Not to mention the countless times somebody says 'chink', 'dago' and 'mick'. After beating up his abusive brother in law, Vito tells him to stop cheating on his sister, instead of encouraging her to divorce him and taking everything in the settlement. This particular example might be a Subverted Trope since divorce laws were very strict and difficult in The '50s even in otherwise fairly liberal Northeastern states. Only a handful of Southwestern states like Nevada had anything resembling today's divorce laws back in 1951. Drugs are treated as significantly worse than the extortion, prostitution, and murder the mafia regularly engages in. Vito is sentenced to ten years in Federal Prison for the theft and sale of ration stamps. That sounds almost unbelievably harsh for a nonviolent crime now but that was indeed the maximum penalty for that particular offense during World War II.

In the end, he ends up with absolutely nothing in his pockets, no home, no family, and his best friend executed. The mob also barely tolerates him for his screw-ups, deciding to make him The Exile to New Bordeaux in Mafia III. Crime doesn't pay indeed.

Vito does some small work on that day, works with Derek at the dock and Henry on stealing the gas stamps on the 10th, then robs the jewelry store with Joe on the 11th. He is able to earn the needed $2,000 dollars by murdering Sidney Pen and gives it to Francesca in order to free them from the shark. The problem is, the mission where Vito does this is set on February 20th, making this a good four days late from the deadline.

So they borrow money from Bruno, and go to work only to be attacked by a horde of gangsters trying to steal their stash, Henry getting hacked to ribbons by Chinese Triads, and your money being stolen. So at the end of the day, your friend is dead, you're over fifty large in debt to a vicious loan shark, and the Triads and a rival family are out for your blood. And don't worry, it gets worse. Leo and Vinci are heavy belivers in this trope, and forbids the families from selling drugs. This is what causes the Committee to start breaking down as both Clemente and Falcone are selling drugs in secret and want to start doing so openly as a way of replacing the income loss caused by the end of Prohibition.

Vito steals gas stamps from the Office of Price Administration only for Henry to find that they expire by midnight that night, forcing Vito to drive all over town selling the stamps to station attendants personally. This also gets Vito arrested some time later. Vito and Joe disguise themselves as maintenance workers and pick the lock on a jewelry store. As they shove valuables into their bags, a car drives through the front of the building and a group of Irish mobsters jump out also intending to rob the place. This attracts the police, turning the quiet burglary into a shootout. The hit on Don Clemente almost goes off without a hitch. The bomb is discreetly planted in the conference room, the roof is cleared, and Vito and Joe detonate the bomb from a window washing platform... only to find that Clemente was in the restroom when it went off and is still alive.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_faa71569	type	Romantic False Lead
Mafia II (Video Game) / int_faa71569	comment	Romantic False Lead: One of those prostitutes that Joe brought along and who clearly showed she had hots for Vito, and was later saved by him when she accidentally bumped into some hothead's car upon leaving? She's never mentioned again and Vito, quite surprisingly, hasn't got in a relationship with any girl by the end of the game.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The first fistfight against O'Neil in the prison yard. After you land a few good hits on him, he automatically starts countering every single one of your attacks until your health almost drops to zero, which starts the next cutscene.

Mafia II (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Mafia II (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: It's a fairly accurate period piece; notably, when Vito mentions to Joe in 1945 that he's driven a Jeep, Joe replies, "What the hell's a Jeep?" as the first civilian models didn't appear until later that year. Averted in other areas. Barring the storyline, many aspects of the game appear ahead of their time, like songs ("The Fat Man" by Fats Domino, a 1949 song, shows up in 1945 Empire Bay, and Dean Martin's "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?" only debuted nine years after the end of events in the game in real-life) and cars (especially those circa 1951, like the Shubert Beverly, a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air look-alike). Seems more like the creators opted for an Artistic License to make the most out of the time periods the game is set in. The most egregrious are a 1961 song in 1951note But, what the hell, "You Can Have Her" by Roy Brown is an awesome song, and a 1963 song in 1945, as well as a 1949 Cadillac Expy in 1945 and a 1957 Ford expy in 1951. Also, you can find Playboy magazines as early as the second level, in 1944-ish, when Playboy didn't come out until 1953. The worst part is that most anachronisms had been avoided had they just set the 50's in 1956, as almost all the music would fit and so would the cars.
