whoever thought it was a good idea to add a racing mission in a mafia game
i hope you never make another game and the people who remade this bs mission are just as dumb. Way to completely hinder progression. The fact you have to get 1st place is the dumbest ♥♥♥♥ ever.

Exactly this. I like the game but am locked from advancing / playing from some dumb waste of time racing level. Only going to try so much more before uninstalling or looking into mod somebody else mentioned.

A. You start dead last, not surprising this is usually the case in games but dead last feels like 150 yards behind first racer.
B. The other ai racers (14 of them) can drive faster than you in straightaways.
C. The other drivers race like they are 5 star cops in GTA playing bumper cars.
D. The driving controls are terrible - wonky acceleration / braking, terrible hand break controls, turning feels delayed and the whole thing feels like your floating around on a ice rink.
E. One spin out on this long grinding boring 3 lap race can cost you.

literally just had to download a mod/ save file from someone else to completely skip the mission.

Lol the fact that there are numerous Reddit posts and YouTube videos of people complaining about the mission it’s very clearly an issue with a lot of people that play this game. I don’t play racing games if I wanted to race I’d buy one. I bought mafia to be a mafioso whoever thought adding a race mission into this game clearly lacks common sense

The mission was difficult in the original version of the game, but not anymore. I won the race on the first try, even with keyboard and mouse.

The racing segment is perfectly fine just happens to spawn a massive meme. Like the toy heli mission in GTA VC and Tutorial in OG Driver. All of them are way easier than any average nes game.

And it does fit the game. You followed the story right? Salieri wants to manipulate the race to ensure the money and respect stay where they belong to. Which is Dons job.

Then some other big player, which I guess is Morello, has Salieris driver beaten up. Rendering him impossible to race, win and generate income to the family and respect for the Don. Those are the only two things Mafia cares about right? Money and power.

So Don picks you to race instead. Now how can a cabbie turned into a mob runaway driver be a decent pro racer i don't know. But whatever Don says goes. Not the common sense rules the mob but the Authority of the boss and Loyality of the made men. High stakes, high risk, bold decisions, hot temper meets cold execution. You have to race, you have to win, you have to take the pressure.

It is a subtle reminder you are Saliers toy. If he wanted you to wear clown clothes and do a silly dance you better just do it. You always have to right? Yore not a badass Tommy Angelo. You are a mere pawn on a board much larger then you can see with your own eyes. These games are known for linear experiences. Taking our freedom of choice away to tell a more complex story.

It showcases another layer of business and activities the Mafia controls and while frustrating, the race itself is a rather unique experience. We get the chance to race with really fast 30s cars. Unlike the regular stuff we have driven so far.

The DE race can be made easier by changing the difficulty. This is a guess as I have beaten it in classic sim driving. Not at my first go. It took me about 20 to 30 minutes just to figure out the strategy and get the hang of the handling. And then poof! I was first.

At this point you can enjoy the trio bragging about Toms driving skills for the rest of the game :)

Long story short: Reddit knows ♥♥♥♥ as usual xD

This is the remake from the original game, so maybe you want to blame the original writters from the original game?
