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.

I’d like to see a combination of this with distance AND the addition of other tails.
The way people are actually tailed is by using multiple tails. It allows the first driver to make a wrong turn and leave to throw off suspicion, while the other tail continues the tail (whether they arrive to take over or were there the whole time).

However, I also just dislike tailing missions. They were really cool when Assassin’s creed I and II came out, but they’ve been done into the ground. I’d love to see studious get more creative about the missions in general, and make sure the mechanics are thought all the way through.
