FINISHED

Not that it's relevant but I always liked watching these runs because like the runner says the game looks well-made and reminds me of Mafia, another awesome... well mafia game.

Run notes say this about the second mission:

Quote:

After I'm done with the place I head out only to be confronted by a dirty cop at the entrance. I tried skipping early here where unfortunately it failed but I managed to skip about half way.

But to me it looked like the skip worked on the first attempt. This is one of a few discrepancies in the run comments but I don't think it matters.

Irrelevant for verification:

segment 1
mission 3: I like what was done with the redshirt.
21:00
Getting this car looks lucky.
23:04
There we go! Smiley

Segment 2
9:07
"It's Payday!"
-"Not now I'm in the middle of something here."
14:00
How fast does she manage to get the car running?!?
17:10
It's good the runner uses this time to train the melee attacks.

Segment 3
6:35
DOMINATED!!!

Mission 13
He was mad (only) because he let them capture her. He means "WTF were you doing to let this happen?".

Mis 16
6:18
Handled that nicely.

Mis 17
0:58
"Outta the car OR WE BOTH DIE!"
2:00
What?? Threw it too early I guess. Was it only supposed to scare the guys?
3:26
Is there something funny about all the dossiers?
Mis 18
Went about as smooth as you could expect for such a short segment.
Mis 19
My favourite for all the wanton destruction at the casino.

So yeah this looks a lot like a speedrun now. Smiley

Saw lots of new strategies being used here compared to old attempts and the segmentation is used to the best effect. I noticed that one of the skills you can choose when leveling is movement speed up but the speed is already pretty crazy in this game and a lot of the time you're driving.

Not a walrus

Just glancing at the segment list, is there a reason this isn't segmented more? I don't know how saving works in this game.

I think 14 is enough. saving can only done in safe houses by standing next to the bed that prompts text box. more would be convenient and maybe make room for improvement but I have to take into account the time it takes to visit safe houses. so post mission spawn location + safe house location + next mission location.

Yeah if you have to run to specific spots to save then that makes sense. Just curious.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Really enjoyed watching this one. GTA combined with the world of The Godfather.

Audio and video were good. Didn't notice any cheating.

My decision is Accept.

Finally this game will be added to the list and hopefully attract speedrunners. Thanks for the verifiers time and attention.
