Drive through the gate, park the car near the demountable building, kick open the locked door, grab the porn then die in a glorious hail of bullets. So you might want to call your concierge first. Alternatively, call in Vito's boys and use them as a distraction.

apparently you get absolutely loving nothing for getting all the magazines. For getting all the records and vargas paintings you get absolutely loving nothing, and even more nothing

Also, don't install the supercharger upgrade on your cars. it adds a fake rear end blower whine that's basically just a really high pitched squeal at full throttle. if you have bad hearing and your dog is losing his loving mind when you play mafia 3, that's probably why.

Speaking of modifying cars. I guess I'm not far enough in the game to unlock it in that van. How does it work? You can't store cars, so are you only able to modify the cars that you can get from Burke's associate? Or do you modify a car for no reason because you'll just lose it a few minutes later?

Huh lame, just cleared a warehouse to destroy/take a medical truck, cleared the warehouse, left the truck outside the warehouse because I noticed there was a sidemission to kill somebody really close by. Finished that, then got back to the warehouse to discover the medical truck had warped back inside the warehouse which had instantly repopulated with enemies. Dumb

Is there a cap on how much kickback can be accrued at a racket bosses hideout? Not sure if driving across town to pick up kickback all the time is worth it.

There's a concierge upgrade where she'll collect your kickbacks as well as deposit your on hand cash.

This game has become literally unplayable for me. It's like it's loading as I cross the central river. I can stay on the north side but the second I cross south of it, it crashes. It's like it's trying to load more than it can hold or something and just crashes out. I didn't have this problem AT ALL prior to recruiting all three bosses and the meeting in that abandoned house. But now the game crashes every. Single. Time. I literally cannot play this game anymore which sucks because I was having a fuckton of fun with it.

I've tried reducing all the graphical settings to their lowest and that didn't help anything either. Guess I'm waiting for a patch!

I didn't even realize you could modify cars!

E: Wait, gently caress me I'm dumb. They're cassandra upgrades, so they ought to be applied universally.

Well, this game seems decently moddable. There's something resembling a car customization mod at the moment, though it looks kinda unwieldy. There's also manual driving, a no rear-view window mod, among others. There's already a third-party scripthook that can feed lua code into the game.

I've got a weird glitch with Lincoln's coat. The lapels just randomly starts twitching sometimes in cutscenes. I like to think it's Lincoln twitching his man-boobs like a bodybuilder to intimidate whomever he's talking to.

Police chases in this game are so awful, constant respawns, changing cars seems to do nothing, homing in on you despite being hidden and the same constant 'REAL COPS CUMMIN AFTER YEW' repeated every 3 seconds

I find them pretty easy to get away from. Target the wheels of the first car following you and shoot them. That will get a bunch of cars off your back. If you've lost a bunch of tires and you can't go fast, find a big building and stop there. Get out, kill any cops that are near you and run around the building. Then just run outside the circle.

Every time I find myself running from the cops I have an uzi instead of a pistol and I'm always out of ammo :argh:

I just learned that for the kill missions for damage purposes, I can just fire from my pistol in the car and shoot all the people inside the car and no one is the wiser.It's super fast, too.

I found that if the kill mission has them in the little sports cars you can roll up behind them at take them out with one shotgun blast.

Did anyone else feel a little bit of sympathy for Olivia Marcano? She seemed more like she was just massively naive and foolish than evil. Unlike her husband who really got what was coming to him.

You can also lead them to a conquered racket. Your muscle is invincible and plentiful there.

I really wish they kept retaliation as a permanent thing, with randomized convoy sizes even after the story. Splinter gangs trying to take you out and your rackets would keep the game feeling alive in some way at least. It could've even be made as a rudimentary Nemesis-type system where you can find a random informant who'll lead you to the brains of the group. That's literally what this game's "story missions" do anyway. Also, a taxi driver collection of side-missions that can be repeatable with a bevy of recorded conversations would've made a really nice nod to a certain movie. How about adding even more incentive to wiretapping by allowing you to tune into mobile radio for the newly uncovered part of town? This game could've had some really cool new ideas to add to open-world crime games, it's a shame.
