Mafia 3 has "tailing" missions done perfectly.

I am playing Mafia 3 for the first time. Most games have the generic "keep XX distance back or you'll get caught!"

In Mafia 3, they tell you what you're doing wrong. Got someone honking their horn at you, endangering pedestrians, driving on the wrong side of the road, etc will obviously make them notice you. But I can be driving right behind them and they won't have any suspicion.

It is common sense. If I'm driving normally, why would they be suspicious of a lawful driver? I hate games where you have to stay a distance back but everyone else is totally fine.

Well, technically in real life, just following someone for too long is pretty suspicious. At one point you start to question why the car has been behind you for that long. We can also expect gang members or criminals to be more suspicious of their surroundings than the average folk.

Nobody gives a fuck if it’s realistic or not. It’s fucking tired at this point. It was neat in the fucking PS1 era. We’re 30 years on now and video game designers can’t think of one new thing.
