lonely 14 yr male

My top 20 games for 2020.

Unsurprisingly, I had a lot of time to play games this year... I don't think that's uncommon among people on this sub. I managed to finish over 100 games this year so I wanted to share some of the ones I enjoyed most.
A few notes:

These are games I finished in 2020, they didn't necessarily come out in 2020 (only a few did).
I love retro stuff but all these are games I finished for the FIRST time this year, so it trends newer. This also means I couldn't make Yakuza 5 all 20 choices.
Rankings are subjective so don't @ me. Also very loose, some stuff probably deserved to be higher, some lower, whatever.

#20 - Resident Evil 2 Remake
The original RE2 is my favorite of all the RE games, so this remake had a pretty high bar to hit. Thankfully, it met my expectations in almost every regard. In fact, it's one of the best remakes I've ever played. For an actual single playthrough, I think RE2make might be the better game, but the A/B scenarios in OG RE2 are more interesting and the way the characters' stories interact are neater, and the original is more rewarding to re-run. I think most people other than crusty old fucks like me would enjoy the new version more, though. The game is absolutely gorgeous, the controls and gameplay are on point, and Mr. X made me poop my pants. Big ups to Capcom for nailing it.
#19 - Metroid: Other M
Yes, I liked this game. I bought it 10 years ago at Blockbuster when they were closing down for like $5, and never touched it because everybody said it was bad. Well, I'd finally reached the point where I had finished every other Metroid game so I thought, oh, why not. Is it perfect? No - but I'll be damned if I didn't like it anyway. The map is great fun to traverse, Samus' abilities feel great to use as always, it's a fun mix between Prime aesthetics and the style of the 2D Metroids. The controls can be awkward at times, but largely work pretty well; the story is awful, but the aesthetic design is great. It's certainly still one of the lesser Metroid titles, but I REALLY like Metroid, so to me that means it's still pretty damn fun.
#18 - Golf Story
That one Switch eShop exclusive that everybody has to try. It's the closest thing to Camelot's Mario Golf games from the early 2000s we've had since, but it's a bit of a different beast. A golf-RPG hybrid... but instead of being pure golf all the time, it varies between actual golf tournaments and using golf mechanics to do silly stuff for missions. It's also got frolf! And... drone golf. Yeah, that's a thing here. The game has a charming humor to it, and a cute pixel aesthetic. And it has GALF. What more could you want? If you want a golf game but aren't the type to go for sim-golf this is a no-brainer.
#17 - Streets of Rage 4
RE2 nailed the remake; Streets of Rage 4 nailed the continuation. SEGA farmed this one out similar to how they did Sonic Mania, and it paid off. The people who made this game clearly LOVE Streets of Rage and it shows. Honestly, this did pretty much everything I would have wanted for a new SoR game... the animations are gorgeous, the music is awesome, the movesets are wicked, the new special meter mechanic is one of the best in any beat-em-up ever, the game hits the perfect length (longer than the originals but short enough to be great to replay) plus multiple modes like a boss rush and arcade mode. It's just stupid fun.
#16 - Blood: Fresh Supply
Blood is excellent all-around, but I can see why I bounced off of it as a kid - it has a really strange, kind of awful difficulty curve (my one real criticism about the game) - it starts out pretty damn difficult and gets progressively easier unlike most games of that style where the difficulty typically ramps up as you go along. The game is very much a HORROR kind of experience too, and I'm not really into horror games or horror movies so much but this hits the right notes, the weapons get progressively cooler as you go along, the game does a lot with the Build Engine. Fresh Supply also includes the expansions, both of which are quite good. I loved Duke3D as a kid but could never get into Blood... glad I finally dove in this year.
#15 - Wii Sports Resort
Wii Sports? Pff, that's for babies. I skipped this one because, well, it's for dirty casuals. Recently I was on a Wii kick and decided to pick it up and finally gave it a go - I wrote a thread about it here.
#14 - Final Fantasy XIV
I'm not a huge MMO guy, but I've gotten into the FF games over the last few years. When quarantine started in March, I decided to dive into FFXIV's free trial and I didn't regret it. Quickly hit the level cap in a couple jobs and decided to buy the full game, then burned through FFXIV and all of its expansions. The free trial has been expanded now to cover all of A Realm Reborn (the base game) and Heavensward (first expansion)... if you're interested in it, then go play the free trial now, you won't regret it. And if you do, it was free. Great game for someone like me - it has a compelling story unlike WoW (in my opinion), it's very easy to play solo, and while you do have to do instances for story missions, they do a great job making them compelling for people to replay so you never have trouble finding a party with the LFG tool.
#13 - Pikmin 3
It's Pikmin. All the Pikmin games are fantastic. I also replayed the first two games this year and then Pikmin 3 for the first time at the start of the pandemic - they're great feel-good games and they made me feel good, baby. Cannot recommend them enough. They're cute, they're brisk, they're compelling all the way through, and they're also a blast to casually speedrun (or more seriously if you're into that). Pikmin 3 gets a little weird to juggle with 3 captains, but you get used to it, and honestly it's really only later in the game that you really have to use all 3 anyway - for the most part you can just use 2 for most stuff. But the game expands on all the stuff the previous games did right and delivers a great 3rd entry, maybe the best of them all.
#12 - Disco Elysium
There's very little bad I can say about DE. What a great game. I don't normally go in for CRPGs, but this game grabbed me. The writing is absolutely superb, some of the best I've ever seen in any video game ever. The only part of it I didn't like was the "you have amnesia" conceit but I get why they decided to use it for role playing purposes. The game builds a fascinating little world, and delivers a great story with no shortage of dark humor along the way. It deserves to be higher, but like I said CRPG stuff isn't usually my thing, and so while I adored the writing the game did progress a little slow for me at points, particularly when trying to find the next place to go/explore/investigate.
#11 - SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE
I really enjoyed the original SUPERHOT, but it had one major problem: there just wasn't enough. Not enough... anything. Not enough weapons, not enough levels, not enough MEAT. It was short and sweet, didn't outstay its welcome but I wanted more. Well, here comes MCD, the true sequel, and it delivers a lot more. Not only that, but it delivers it right. The game doesn't throw that much bullshit your way - it's level after level, challenge after challenge, ramping up the difficulty juuust right and making its gameplay satisfying all the way to the end. Well, maybe not the verrry end which I didn't find that great, but all the rest was awesome.
#10 - Control
Full disclosure: I played this one on my Series X and it worked amazingly but I've heard it's a bit rough on some other systems. The game itself, dang. I always enjoy Remedy's games, and this is my favorite they've done since Max Payne. I just played it recently, so I'm still formulating and thinking about it. It may deserve to be a lot higher, here. Awesome art design, fun gameplay, great soundtrack, cool story/premise. It has a good amount of side content too, and I haven't played through all of it yet but intend on doing so.
#9 - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
I've fallen out of love with SW thanks to the movies, and I put off playing Fallen Order until it hit Game Pass. But... damn was it fun. I'm a fan of the Souls games, and FO clearly takes inspiration from them, combined with a dose of Metroid Prime. This is very much the kind of Star Wars Jedi game I wanted for a long time. It still has its issues - the story in particular is kinda light for how long the game is, and while I actually really liked most of the characters the main character is kinda milquetoasty. But damn, does it hit the right notes. Lengthy campaign that never drags, plenty of areas and collectibles to explore off the beaten path if you want to. Everything really comes together here nicely and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
#8 - River City Girls
This is probably way higher than most people would put it, but for me it just hit the spot. I liked the game's humor and art, I loved the attitude, and, well, it's River City Ransom! RCR might be my #1 favorite NES game, and having played a handful of the sequels, River City Girls is the best of all the ones I've played by far. The writing is legit funny - not eye-rolling funny, which is something I appreciate - and the movesets have a ton of variety. You only get two playable characters from the get go unlike SoR4's larger cast, although you can actually unlock some secret ones - I don't know how different they are though as I have only played through the game once. Like the original River City Ransom, River City Girls is a beat-em-up with RPG elements, and as such is a much longer playthrough than stuff like Streets of Rage which is more conducive to replays. Will definitely revisit it again for more co-op, though!
#7 - Night in the Woods
I just finished this so there might be recency bias here, but I really enjoyed this game. I stayed away from it for a while because of all the stuff that happened with Holowka, but eventually came around and decided to play it after it got put into the itch.io Racial Justice bundle (although I played it on XBOX, not PC). There isn't that much game here, NITW is very much a narrative-focused walk-around-and-talk-around game, but you get to choose your way through different bits of content along the way. I can definitely see a second playthrough being worth it though the game is fairly long (8 hours?). Remember when I said River City Girls had funny writing? Yeah, NITW is genuinely hilarious, but also heartbreaking, too. It ought to be - it relies on the strength of its writing, and it can because it's great. Plus all the art design is really nice, too.
#6 - Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze
Wee bit different than Blood... I had a Wii U but this is the one game that always eluded me. I got it for Xmas last year and boy, is it a fun time. I love DKC Returns, and this is DKC Returns kicked up a notch. It also maintains the decent difficulty level of DKC Returns, which I really appreciated - levels can get challenging, but you always have plenty of lives (at least I did) so game overs aren't really a worry. A fantastic platformer that sits up there with the best 2D platformers ever, IMO. It probably deserves to be higher. Oh well.
#5 - Subnautica
Obviously this game is a favorite in this sub, so I'm not gonna beat it to death. I played it at the start of this year and it was a great time - the kinda game that grabs you and doesn't let go until you're finished. I don't see much reason to replay it unfortunately, though I'd like a reason - and the game was also very buggy even when I played it long after release. But the pros outweigh the cons, and it's a very memorable experience as anybody who played it will probably attest.
#4 - Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Talk about underappreciated. Like Metroid: Other M, this is another Wii game I picked up on clearance and never touched it until this year. I wrote a thread about this game here.
#3 - F-Zero X
Am I seriously trying to sell you on a game where you race what look like blurry triangles through a polygonal nightmare? Yes, yes I am. It's an N64 game that runs at 60fps. It's very difficult. It has awesome tracks, tons of racers, insane speed, and a face-melting soundtrack that immediately gets my blood boiling. This is the most rewarding and entertaining racing game I've played in a while. I have owned this game for a while, and had played it, but never really got into it... well, invest yourself a little and it pays off. I binged a bunch of the Wipeout games last yeaearly this year, and got around to thinking... why haven't I ever played F-Zero X much? It's a 3D futuristic racer too, is it not? Oh, it is, and it blows every Wipeout game out of the water. Many people sing the praises of F-Zero GX, and I have that game too and have never really gotten into it - but after spending time with X, I've been convinced I need to give it a better chance (I just find GX incredibly hard, moreso than X's already high difficulty). F-Zero X gets major bonus points for having a random-course-generator that creates some absolutely INSANE tracks once you earn the right to be abused by it.
#2 - Ori and the Will of the Wisps
I'm someone who really enjoys a great Metroidvania, but I feel the genre peaked with the Castlevania games of the mid-2000s and the enormous glut of indie metroidvanias has a) left me tired of them and b) never lived up to that promise. I'm including stuff in here that people absolutely revere like Hollow Knight (which I liked but didn't love). Ori was the exception, because it found this fantastic place where it was kind of a Metroidvania, but really focused more on incredibly fluid platforming than RPG elements, combat etc. Ori and the Will of the Wisps built on everything the first game did, and did it better. It's also probably the best-looking video game I've ever played. It did everything I wanted out of a sequel to Ori.
If I was to give a GOTY 2020 award... Ori and the Will of the Wisps would win it, hands down. It's baffling to me that it wasn't a more common sight on GOTY lists this year.
#1 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Okay, it wouldn't win my GOTY 2020 award - so why is it #1?
ACNH just built upon what previous Animal Crossing games did and did it better (well, mostly - but the stuff that is missing is being added in over time, and the improvements far outweight the absences). I already loved Animal Crossing, but not only was I hyped for ACNH - it came at the absolute perfect time. But what really made this my #1 game this year is how much time I spent with it (hundreds of hours), and more importantly that I spent a lot of it with my wife. We share an island and still play it every day or every other day, and it's really nice to have a little world to share especially when the real world is not super amazing right now... and we can still get away to an island paradise despite having to cancel our trip for our 1st wedding anniversary this year.
But as for the game itself... hey, it's Animal Crossing, with crafting, with more customization than ever, with updates coming over time (which is not something I'm usually super into, but for AC it is absolutely perfect because it keeps the community engaged) and obviously this game has hit AC's popularity into the stratosphere, to the point that even people I know who don't play games at all know what it is and want to try it.
HONORABLE MENTIONS

Yakuza 5 - Because I played it again this year, and it's the game that keeps on giving. I haven't played #7 yet but I'm pumped to do so next year.
Hades - An excellent game, worthy of all its praise, but not patient yet!
Jetpac - the 1983 ZX Spectrum game. I played it in Rare Replay, and goddamn this game grabbed me. I don't know what it is, but it's rare that an old-school arcade-style game can grab and hold my attention and this one did it for hours.

Mafia IV story idea

Note: The particularly important details and music artist names are in bold text. Licensed music track names are in italics.
The year is 1973, five years after the events of the Mafia III, and 22 years since Vito Scaletta’s seen or heard from his old friend Joe Barbaro. The canon ending of Mafia III with this Mafia IV story is Vito taking over the city after Lincoln skipped town, however Cassandra and Burke are left alive and loyal to both Vito and Lincoln still. Burke was able to survive his liver cancer by getting a black market liver transplant in Mexico, like he did in his ending, except with Vito running the city. On Vito and Lincoln’s behalf, Burke and Cassandra agree to stay behind in New Bordeaux and keep the city locked down, incase Leo Galante and the Commission try anything.
The beginning cutscene is Vito answering his telephone after getting up in the morning in his new penthouse, on the top floor of the New Bordeaux casino he finished that was once Sal Marcano's, and grabbing a cup of coffee. It's Alma with some urgent news. Lincoln Clay came down to the cigar warehouse to visit her after 5 years of silence, and he has big news.
Joe is alive in Empire Bay and has been this entire time. However, as punishment for his actions, he's become Leo Galante's personal driver against his will and is forbidden from contacting Vito ever again, or else him and Vito will be killed. Alma then tells Vito to meet Lincoln at the airport to learn more, as he's already there awaiting Vito's arrival. When they're away from anyone who could listen in on their conversation, Lincoln tells Vito he has a friend named John Donovan he's going to introduce him to, hiding in the outskirts of Empire Bay, ready to help Vito and Lincoln with their new mission
Vito gets dressed in one of his signature trench coats with a suit and tie, ready to rain down hell on the Vinci crime family and their allies, and finally be reunited with his lifelong friend he previously thought was dead, Joe Barbaro.
Here is my idea for the kill list, all related to the Commission in Empire Bay and their allies.

Leo Galante - Top target on the list, Vinci family consigliere who's in with the Commission and the man you thought put Joe in the ground for the past 22 years. Bury this wrinkly old cocksucker.
Johnny Galante - Vinci family capo and younger relative of Leo's mentioned in Cassandra's ending, possibly Leo's cousin even. John Donovan knows that the two are close, and that Johnny's a valuable asset to Leo's organization. Kill him both to hurt Leo's earn and influence, and to hit him straight in the heart by taking away his family and everyone he loves
Michele Galante Jr. - Another Vinci family capo, and Leo Galante’s youngest brother. Killing Leo’s little brother will both take away one of his most reliable allies, and leave him stricken with grief and enraged, and more prone to making mistakes.
Nunzio Galante - Leo’s seasoned older brother by 3 years, and yet another Vinci family capo. He knows enough about smuggling that he worked out an ingenious plan for smuggling military grade weapons into the city. He pays off corrupt officials at Empire Bay International Airport, to allow guns to be loaded inside the walls and floors of planes, unknown to everyone onboard save for the palms the Galantes and Frank Vinci have greased to cooperate and keep quiet. The time has come to put this crafty old bastard in the ground.
Don Frank Vinci - Frank Vinci is the boss of the Vinci crime family, the family Leo's been a consigliere of for decades, and a lifelong friend of his. Kill Frank, and Leo loses more ground than he could ever imagine, and will be forced to deal with both the loss of his boss, and the loss of his lifelong childhood friend.
Don Ennio Salieri - Longtime close friend of both Frank Vinci and Leo Galante, Don of the Salieri crime family, and a third party Frank and Leo call in to crush Vito's uprising, when it becomes too big of an issue for Vinci alone to handle. Salieri was eventually able to grease enough palms while behind bars to have his life sentence overturned, and he got released from prison on good behavior in 1953, after he served 15 years of his sentence. He’s since relocated to his main operations to Empire Bay, having already had connections and men present there while he was in prison, backed by the Commission and the Vinci crime family. He's seasoned, but he’s nothing Mr. Scaletta can't handle. Give this tired old fuck the gangland ending he's had coming.
Isaac - Isaac is the personal assistant to an influential loan shark named Bruno Levine, who handles the money of the Commission, including the Vinci crime family and the Salieri crime family. He does anything from serve his boss coffee, to count incoming and outgoing money for Bruno. Because of his duties, he's aware of Bruno's location at all times. You’ll need to get to Isaac to get information on his boss out of him, and dispose of him afterwards if you want to get to Bruno.
Bruno Levine - Bruno is a Jewish-American loan shark who kicks up all of his earn to both Frank Vinci and Ennio Salieri, and the Commission in Empire Bay. Killing him kills a lot of earn for the Commission, and they loses a valuable asset. In addition to getting rid of him being practical, to add insult to injury, he gave your father that loan. It's about time to put this asshole out of business.
Mr. Chu & Mr. Chu Jr. - This old man has been leading the Empire Bay Triads with an iron fist since before you were even born. The bastard has a son too, who eventually went on to become his underboss. The Empire Bay Triads became a close ally of the Vinci crime family, the Salieri crime family, and the Commission shortly after Vito killed Don Carlo Falcone in 1951, forming a lucrative partnership with the Commission. Mr. Chu and his eldest son are valuable assets for Leo Galante who give him extra reach. Melt their iron fists and show these two pricks just who they fucked with.
Eddie Scarpa - This cocksucker used to be Carlo Falcone's underboss for as long as you could remember. After you whacked Falcone in the fall of 1951, he decided to throw in with Vinci to save his own skin. He took over the smuggling and dock union extortion that fat fuck Derek Pappalardo used to run. You know all too well how to deal with this sorry fuckin' rat.

I'm thinking Vito and Joe work with Lincoln Clay and John Donovan to split up Empire Bay and distribute territory to three other factions not unlike what Lincoln did with New Bordeaux. This time though, this is a much larger city in a much, much different part of the United States. The empire building mechanics would be a lot smoother, more robust, and streamlined compared to Mafia III. They would work similarly a more modernized version of how the hit city sandbox game Scarface: The World Is Yours handled it's empire building and management mechanics, minus the whole switching to other characters lower on the ladder to do your bidding. This would be ideal for a story rich organized crime game in my opinion. Here are my ideas for those factions, all close allies of the up and coming Scaletta crime family.
The Cuban mob led by Alma Diaz. Vito goes way back with Alma, and she does not hesitate to answer him and Lincoln's calls to save Joe's life and royally fuck both Leo Galante and the Vinci family.
Conti crime family, led by Enzo Conti. This Conti crime family formed sometime in late 1968, months after Lincoln helped Enzo flee New Bordeaux and drop off of Sal Marcano's radar. It turns out he fled north to Empire Bay and finally formed his own family, having more than enough years of experience in the underworld to handle the job. Lincoln's tight with him and manages to recruit him to Vito and Joe's cause.
The Yakuza, based out of Empire Bay's Japantown. Longtime sworn enemies of the Empire Bay Triads, with bad blood going back decades. They would greatly enjoy seeing Mr. Chu and his son's heads mounted on pikes, along with whacking everyone who's ever supported their organization. You don't know them well, and they're known to be very unpredictable and ruthless. Use these traits to your advantage when taking on the Commission of Empire Bay and their friends.
I should mention as expected, this entire 1973 section where you play as Vito is much shorter than Mafia III. Vito's takeover is shown much more quickly over time than Lincoln's, and there's time skips during it, to keep it short and sweet, and to show onscreen only what's important. There is also no option for your underbosses to betray you, as to reduce confusion and keep the story consistently the same each playthrough, like the first two Mafia games.
However, unlike Mafia III, after all of these tasks are completed and every single assassination target on Vito’s kill list is dealt with, the game does not end. In fact, it's not even anywhere near close to being over yet. Vito's 1973 section was merely the beginning act. It was really a lead up to an entirely new Mafia story, centering around a newcomer to the American mob. Fast forward two years following Vito’s rampage that led to him taking over Empire Bay and the Commission, in the year 1975 him and Joe now rule Empire Bay, with Vito as the Don of the Scaletta Crime Family, and Joe working as his loyal underboss. You play the rest of the game as a young up and coming soldato named Louis in his 20’s, who’s a rising star in Vito’s organization. Do right by Mr. Scaletta and Mr. Barbaro, understand kid?
My basic idea for the character and his backstory is that he's a young Italian-Canadian mobster from Toronto, Ontario, or whatever Mafia's equivalent of it could be called. Let's call him Louis DeSimone. His family hails from Tuscany in Italy and moved to Toronto, Ontario in 1939, shortly after World War II broke out in Europe. Louis DeSimone was born in July 1952 in Toronto, and was raised in Toronto's Little Italy. Being northern Italian and hailing from Tuscany, Louis has blond hair and green eyes, making him visually very distinct from past series protagonists, who were all dark haired brunets with brown eyes. Louis fled south to Empire Bay when the feds started cracking down on his old family and put his boss in prison, and he ended up finding a new home with the Scaletta crime family. The first few missions playing as Louis DeSimone involve shooting your away out of an arrest by a Toronto Police Service SWAT team in Toronto in December 1974, seeing the rest of the members of your old crime family either get arrested or shot in front of you as you make your escape. You spend the next two missions fleeing Ontario through Quebec and upstate New York, before finally arriving in Empire Bay in early 1975, late January to be exact. Winter is in full force with snow everywhere, Louis' arrival to Empire Bay for the first time in his life mirroring Vito's return to Empire Bay in 1945 30 years earlier, except under far different much more dire circumstances. Louis' older brother and his father, both capos in his old crime family in Toronto, are shown to be arrested by the TPS SWAT team in his first mission, the same one that attempted to gun him down when he resisted arrested. Louis knows someone had to have ratted out his old crime family, and he wants to find out who someday. The thing is though, he doesn't just want to kill them. He wants to get out of them why they did it before he kills them. More than anything else, he just wants to find out why his crime family was betrayed and served up to the feds on a silver platter, having most of his biological family sent to prison in the process. He’s out to uncover the mystery of why his family fell apart, and he’s more than willing to help people like Don Vito Scaletta and his underboss Joe Barbaro to eventually get the answers he seeks. In the end, he’s not even after revenge primarily, more than that, he wants answers and information regarding the fare of his old crime family, and wants to know why his family fell apart. I came up with the idea for this character because I figured that playing as a fugitive from the law made sense for the mob life, and I'm surprised we haven't had a fugitive protagonist in the Mafia series yet.
In the 1975 chapters while playing as Louis, the Watergate scandal, President Richard Nixon’s resignation, and the official end to the Vietnam War are all discussed on the in-game radio during news segments. In the last 1979 chapter, the beginning of the Soviet-Afghan War is also the subject of a news segment on the radio.
The story eventually transitions into the 1980's as years pass, with the scenery, cars, and music changing accordingly, and historical events of the time discussed in the game. In the 1989 section of the game, the murder of the infamous former Sinclair Parish Sheriff Walter “Slim” Beaumont is mentioned on the in-game radio, as just over 21 years ago Slim and his corruption ring were the top headline of national news. the time the game ends, it's 1992, and significant historical events from the past few years at the time that are covered on the radio in-game include anything from the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, to the 1992 L.A. riots. The rise of the internet and home computers are briefly touched upon during news segments on the in-game radio during the early 1990's section of the story, but not greatly delved into given their relative infancy in that time period. During this entire 1975-1992 stretch of the story, Vito is no longer playable, and Don Scaletta takes a backseat in the story as a main supporting character, similar to Don Salieri throughout Mafia: Definitive Edition. You now play as the Italian-Canadian Scaletta family soldato Louis DeSimone, who is later promoted to being a capo in 1985. At the end of the game in 1992, Louis is promoted to Consigliere of the Scaletta crime family, and it’s revealed in the epilogue that he became the don of the family in 2006 at the age of 54, and his now released from prison older brother serving as his underboss, and and Enzo Conti’s grandson Giovanni Conti serving as consigliere, taking over from Louis’ previous position which before that belonged to his father and Enzo’s only son, Lorenzo Conti from 1973-1992. It is worth noting that unlike Don Salieri, Don Scaletta has much more integrity, and has more genuine loyalty for his men and his associates. If you've beaten Mafia 1 or Mafia: Definitive Edition, you'll know this is something Salieri lacked in the end. Over time, Louis also goes from having a strictly business relationship with Vito and Joe, to bonding with them and becoming a genuinely close friend and trusted member of the family, seeing Vito as something of a second father, and coming to see Joe as the fun uncle he never had. Another major character development theme is Louis DeSimone adapting and assimilating into Italian-American culture in his new home in the Northeastern US, it seeming like something new mixed with the familiar Italian-Canadian culture he was raised in back in Ontario just north of the border.
The game will include a number of hit music from the 70’s that played on the radio back then, such as Bobby Womack’s Across 110th Street and Tony Christie’s (Is This the Way to) Amarillo, The Grateful Dead's Casey Jones and at least a few songs by the then new American rock band Cheap Trick, as well as popular songs from the 1960’s people still listened to at the time, such as Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs’ Wooly Bully, King Crimson’s 21st Century Schizoid Man, Zager and Evans' In the Year 2525, The Zombies' Time of the Season, and Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made for Walkin'. When you progress through the game, especially after you switch to playing as Louis DeAngelo for the rest of the story, years change, and the music changes. Different songs start playing on the radio, such as Sylvester's You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), Randy Crawford's Street Life, and The Village People's Y.M.C.A., Cheryl Lynn's Got to Be Real, Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, and the Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive start playing in the 1979 portion of the game. After you've completed the 1975 section of the game, Foghat's Slow Ride starts playing on the radio. Starting in the 1977 section of the game, Cheap Trick's I Want You to Want Me and Heart's Barracuda start playing on the radio. In the 1980's portion of the game, Thomas Dolby's songs Hyperactive! and She Blinded Me with Science, in addition to Night Ranger's Sister Christian also start playing on the radio. If Hangar 13 can afford the licenses, I also think a few Michael Jackson and Madonna songs should definitely be on the radio during the 1980's portion of the story, given the immense popularity and regular radio airtime those two had in that decade. If this ended up being possible, I imagine that Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Bad, and Billie Jean being on the radio in the 80's sections would be a must, Smooth Criminal especially because of how well it suits the series. Madonna's Lucky Star, Burning Up, Like a Virgin, and Borderline would also be perfect for the 80's portion of the game to me. Also mentioned by NPCs and civilians in the game are topical events of the time period, such as the release of the groundbreaking 1973 horror film The Exorcist at the end of Vito's playable portion of the game.
Other music of the 1980's segment when playing as Louis DeAngelo for the remainder of the game includes hits of the era such as Joe Jackson's Steppin' Out, The Buggles' Video Killed The Radio Star, Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night, Laura Branigan's Self Control and Gloria, The Weather Girls' It's Raining Men, A-ha’s Take On Me, Men at Work's Down Under, Kim Wilde's Kids in America, The Gap Band's You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon, Michael Sembello’s Maniac, Twisted Sister's I Wanna Rock and We're Not Gonna Take It, Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive and Bad Medicine, Soft Cell’s Tainted Love, Robert Palmer’s Simply Irresistible, Rick Astley’s Together Forever, Whenever You Need Somebody, and Never Gonna Give You Up, Cutting Crew’s [I Just] Died In Your Arms, Loverboy's Working for the Weekend, Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) and That's the Way (I Like It), Tiffany’s I Think We’re Alone Now, Daryl Hall & John Oates' Maneater, Aneka's Japanese Boy, Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls and Kickstart My Heart, Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire, Huey Lewis And The News' Hip To Be Square, Bill Medley's (I've Had) The Time of My Life, The Police's Every Breath You Take, Whodini's Magic's Wand, Guns ‘N Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City, Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me, Regina's Baby Love, Nena's 99 Red Balloons, Earth, Wind, and Fire's Let's Groove and September, Billy Idol's Eyes Without a Face and White Wedding, Rick James’ Give It To Me Baby, Olivia Newton-John’s Physical, The S.O.S. Band’s Take Your Time (Do It Right), Kenny Loggins’ Highway to the Danger Zone, Wham!’s Everything She Wants, George Michael's Careless Whisper, Toto's Hold the Line and Africa, Blondie's Heart of Glass and Atomic, and Mai Tai's History.
**Note that not every single year and moment of the 17 year 1975-1992 section playing as Louis DeAngelo is playable or chronicled. My idea is it would be handled similarly to how the time skips in Mafia 1/Mafia: Definitive Edition were handled. Time skips of two or more years, or in this case, even longer such as 4 years sometimes, the game skipping from 1979 to 1983. This is to keep the game and story length ideal, and not risk it getting boring or repetitive, or going on for too long. Repetition was a big problem in Mafia III even if I still thought it was a superb game, so I think it'd be best to learn from that for the next big entry. The games story will skip ahead and show onscreen only what's significant, similar to the first Mafia game and it's remake, as well as certain aspects of Mafia II. Louis starts his section as a 22 year old fugitive soldato who got picked up by another crew south of the Canadian border, and in the epilogue of the game in 1992, is promoted to the consigliere of the Scaletta crime family at the age of 40, being set to take over the family once Vito and Joe become too old to run the day to day on a regular basis. Louis DeSimone is promoted to don of the Scaletta crime family following Vito and Joe being officially retired as of 2006. They’re both still involved and paid huge amounts of money by Louis out of respect, but keep a much lower profile by then since they have handpicked successors and aren’t worried about where the business is going.
The years chronicled in the main gameplay segments are as follows:
1973
1975
1977
1979
1983
1985
1987
1988
1989
1990
1991
1992
Much more of the rural areas and countryside outside of Empire Bay are included than what was available in Mafia II. The way rural environments are handled for this hypothetical Mafia IV is akin to how Mafia: Definitive Edition and Mafia III handled their rural environments outside the main cities, except much larger in scale, given the increased power of the current new consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Series X. This region is based off of upstate New York and the surrounding areas across multiple states in the Northeastern US, and includes forests, fields, mountains, rivers, lakes, beaches, and small towns. Also included are other cities and towns, based off of other large cities in New York like Syracuse, Buffalo, and Rochester, where other story missions, business activities, and side missions take place, along with smaller notable places like Ithaca, Binghamton, and Utica. The entire states of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Delaware, Maryland, and Ohio are also included, including places based off of all of their major cities and most of their notable towns in between. Large portions of Pennsylvania are included as well, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Scranton. All of the province of Nova Scotia including the city of Halifax, and Large portions of the eastern half of the Canadian province of Ontario are included as well, including cities based off of Toronto, Ottawa, and Niagara Falls. There's even a small portion of Quebec included, including Montreal and the surrounding countryside of the province outside that city, including a few small towns in southern Quebec. The player must pass a quick border patrol check when crossing the US-Canada border in a car or other ground vehicle.
Wildlife is present in the game, mostly to add to the background, scenery, and immersion in rural environments on the map. These are all animals native to the Northeastern US, ranging from white tailed deer, coyotes, bobcats, Canada lynxes, rabbits, hares, groundhogs, gophers, beavers, raccoons, opossums, bats, chipmunks, red and gray squirrels, mice, and rats to more formidable and potentially dangerous animals that may sometimes attack the player, such as grey wolves, black bears, mountain lions, and moose. These last four animals are known to spawn in the mountainous regions, especially in New York, Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Ontario, including the rural regions based off of the Catskills and the Adirondack mountains. Dogs are present in the cities, towns, and settlements where humans live and keep them as pets, being walked and sometimes found in people's yards. Some are used as guard dogs by enemies and are aggressive towards the player on sight. Domestic cats are also present in the background of residential areas, and both Louis and Vito own them as pets throughout the game in their safe houses, as well as other onscreen characters we see the homes of throughout the game.
Aircraft make their first usable appearance in the Mafia series too, from airplanes to helicopters. Vito cannot use planes or helicopters in his playable 1973 portion of the game, as he does not know how to pilot, being a paratrooper in World War II who never actually flew any of the planes himself. Aircraft are unlocked to use when Louis DeSimone gets his pilot’s certificate offscreen in 1977, and at the end of a chapter set that year, Louis has to fly Vito in a helicopter to a penthouse in Downtown Empire Bay acting as a family safe house, equipped with a helipad. Louis frequently serves as a personal driver and pilot for both Vito and Joe afterwards, having done a lot in his time serving the family to earn their trust and respect.
Melee weapons also make a return from Mafia: Definitive Edition, with even more variety this time. In their respective sections of the game, Vito and Louis may use anything from baseball bats, pipes, shovels, brass knuckles, golf clubs, police batons, switchblades, kitchen knives, bowie knives, ice picks, 2x4s, claw hammers, crowbars, tire irons, chain links, machetes, meat cleavers, pickaxes, hatchets, sledgehammers, to fire axes. This amount of melee weapons is so no matter what environment the player finds themselves in during a mission or any other game activity, there is usually a weapon of some sort nearby. If the player has obtained piano wire, you may also strangle an enemy to death with it from behind as a stealth kill, this being a classic assassination method infamous for being used by the Italian Mafia. Rope can also be found and used for similar strangulation stealth kills, appearing in the gameplay environments where piano wire can’t be found. There is a wide variety of new guns and explosives to use in this concept for Mafia IV, going with the new weapons of the time the game takes place that criminals quickly got their hands on. This includes the SPAS-12 combat shotgun, the Beretta 92 pistol, the AK-74 assault rifle, the mini uzi, the MAC-10 submachine gun, both suppressed and unsuppressed variants, the Beretta 92 pistol, the Taurus raging bull revolver, Glock handguns, the TEC-9 machine pistol, illegally modified to be full auto, the Ruger Mini-14 full auto variant, and even Vietnam war era flamethrowers, which I think is only natural given that as of Mafia III, we already have RPGs and grenade launchers. Late in the game from the 1989 section and onwards, the Benelli M3 combat shotgun becomes available. The Milkor MGL grenade launcher becomes available beginning in the 1983 portion of the game. Attached grenade launchers are also available for the AK-47, AK-74, and M16 assault rifles. More advanced rocket launchers of the 1970’s and 1980’s are naturally included as well.
Free ride makes a return in Mafia IV, with the player having the options to change the weather, time period, and an option to play as Louis, Vito, Joe, Lincoln, or John Donovan. Naturally, a multitude of new free ride missions are available as well.
I previously posted a much earlier and less detailed draft of this on the old Mafia3 subreddit 3 years ago back in 2017 as an idea for a hypothetical Mafia 3 expansion where you play as Vito, but have since updated and revamped it to a possible Mafia IV plot, and fixed any plot holes I noticed and made it much more fleshed out and in depth, and focus on more than just Vito in the end. You may view my original here if you so desire, to compare. https://www.reddit.com/Mafia3/comments/6sldhp/spoiler_mafia_iii_vito_dlc_basic_plot_idea/
Feel free to give me constructive criticism on this, as I encourage this discourse and believe it is integral to growing and improving, to build upon or improve these ideas I've come up with, or say whether or not you think something like this should happen in the future. Thank you for reading!
