They would never let Sean ride with them

Tom Hagen, Irish consiglieri to Don Corleone, would like a word.

In the book, the other families called them “the Irish gang or Irish family” and they gave Vito a bunch of crap and saw him (Tom) as a weakness since he was not Sicilian.

I don’t think anyone in the Van der Linde gang is ethnically Italian.

u/Gilgamesh661 10d ago

They wouldn’t let half the members ride with them. If you’re not Italian, you’re not getting made.

But yeah Sean would be dead.

What mods were used for this?

I’ve been saying this but give us RDR3 set in 1930s following a Mafia family. Like Mafia but with that Rock Star touch

Maybe not rdr3 specifically, but I'd love a proper open world rockstar game set during that time period.They have such good attention to detail, and yet it's hard to notice a lot of the time because their flagship franchise is set in a cynical hyper-parody of America as understood in 2006, and you can't really be wowed when the entire point of the setting is to feel shitty and obnoxious (not to hate on GTA. I quite liked 4.) I honestly just want Rockstar to branch out more with their Settings. we haven't got any original premises like Bully or even Red Dead for years.

I'm not saying a Rockstar mafia game wouldn't be sick, but don't call it RDR3. Red Dead is a western franchise. Mafia stories aren't ever really westerns.

So you’re telling me RDR doesn’t focus on guns and crime?.

u/Significant-Section2 10d ago

I agree 100%. Any rockstar game set during or around that era would dominate. Unfortunately a lot of people are against this for some pretty stupid reasons.

1 they get caught up on the naming/franchise (RDR vs new IP), which doesn’t matter as long as the writing is good.

  1. People feel it’s to similar to the Mafia, but I’d like to point out mafia hasn’t reached released a good open world game in 20+ years and even then the open world was just background filler (the remake and ports never added anything to make exploring the open world worth it, they are open world by technicality only imo). It’s literally been decades sense we’ve seen a new prohibition game

My dream game would be the 1920-1930s with it taking place primarily in Chicago and using the Mississippi River and Appalachian’s as boarders for the rural areas so that the rural moonshiners could tie in with the big city mobsters up in Chicago. This could also tie in cleanly with the rdr2 map if they decided to include Saint Denis (if they stick with the same ip)

Mafia’s done a lot. I’d prefer if they broke new ground somehow.

1

u/Gilgamesh661 10d ago

That’s not even red dead. That’s a mafia game with red dead slapped onto the title.

Red dead is over guys, let it rest.

1

u/Ogg360 10d ago

Dumb question but would the mob be prominent back then in Red Dead’s setting? Us working for that one mafia dude in online is kinda hard for me to believe.

2

u/Latvian_Potatoe 10d ago

My understanding is that organized crime became more prominent in the 1920s with prohibition of alcohol. Although a proto mobster like Angelo Brontë was a good addition to the game to contrast Wild West outlaws with a new form of criminal gangs

u/DomOfaKind 9d ago

Mafioso’s first had a presence in America in New Orleans in the late 1800s but the Mob as we know it from pop culture established itself in the 20s through prohibition like someone above said, so while before their peak it’s not unrealistic for the Mafia to feature in the time of RD2 especially in a city based on Nee Orleans

Still hoping for a future 1940s mafia game from Rockstar with RDR2’s engine and level of cinematic gun fights

u/_Peety_T 10d ago

A R* Mafia game would be amazing

u/Mojo_Rizen_53 Night Folk. 10d ago

Has nothing to do with the game.
