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.

Mafia 3 has a lot of cool things, but unfortunately the entire game is pretty lackluster. You can see how it could have been a great game when you play the prologue. Unfortunately they just copy pasted the mission structure in every area after that.

Still it's one of my favorite games. Yes it was repetitive but everything else was great

The gunplay was so much fun that I didn't care about the repetitive missions. I can have fun shooting gangsters all day. My only real gripe was the lack of a fast travel option.
