Quick Look: Omerta: City of Gangsters

YES!!!!!!!

We built this city...

Laguerta

Ryan and Patrick...The Dream Team!! Great job guys!! Loved the video!!

I love when Patrick asks Ryan questions, and he just completely ignores him. Multi-tasking isn't so easy! Game looks great though! I loved Tropico 4 and I think there's a lot going on here.

3:30 is a good example.

More like city of......I'm going to watch this.

'Doc' looks like Owen Coyle... Google it.

The music and style of graphics instantly reminds me of The Movies. Which just makes me want to play The Movies. But this actually seems pretty neat from what I have seen from it before, and the ten or so minutes I have seen so far of this QL.

Uhh Vinny and ANYONE would like a word with you about the DREAM TEAM title!

Off to a good start, how to hire a new dude. Even though it's one of the basic things.

Don't care much for the game, but I let the QL run on the music alone.

Time to see how much this really is XCOM: Mafia Unknown.

This reminds me of a PC game from the late 90's\early 00's does anyone know what it is?

I think it's just called Gangsters. Maybe with a subtitle?

@Bourbon_Warrior: Gangsters: Organized Crime?

I am kinda getting tired of this "we'll figure this game out during the QL" approach. Have a good grasp of the game before showing it.

@Bourbon_Warrior: How about: Gangland : Trouble in Paradise ?

Yea, im kinda getting tired of the:

"Lets skip all this text/cutscene and get to the game!"

*Text/cutscene describes objective or control that you need to do to get past next area*

"What am i supposed to do? Im pressing all the buttons and nothings happening!"

*Run around for 20 minutes running into any wall, shooting everything, talking to everyone*

"This game is terrible, i have no idea what im supposed to do at this point"

Game looks rather intriguing, had some fun with the Tropico games but this seems to be a slightly different take on it but using a lot of the same mechanics just not having to start from scratch on building cities. Thx to Famous Davis for this quick look:).

Squigs looks like Joan's husband from Mad Men.

20 BEER.

I usually like seeing them just finding out what a game is and seeing them play it for the first time, but not when they pretend to know anything about how it works. I'm glad Patrick was there to save this.

Probably the worst team for this type of game.

All the portraits in the game are from real gangster photos and mugshots. Some pretty famous, though their real names have been changed.

Vinny would've been the perfect person to quick look this game!

Broseidon? Brocean? I either love you or hate you, I can tell right now.

He didn't really ignore him at 3:30 - he opened up that dialogue to check.

between the nasal tones of patrick voice and ryan trying to manage a sim game, i couldnt finish watching this.

SO at some point in the game, can you like. Take over the entire town The Guild style?

I wish there was a meter or timer or something that let you know the progress of something. It was really bugging me not actually knowing when something was going to be finished.

Hi, Patrick.

content? wtf?

This seemed like such a Vinny QL to me on paper, oh well...

Jesus fucking christ.

The game looks like 'meh' and isn't even worth the 47 Minutes of my lifetime!

One minute sufficed.

That was my first thought too!

I like gangster films set in the 1920's-1950's. This game seems kind of interesting.

Seems alright, will buy when it is on sale

Anyone else think this game remind them of the old Gangsters 2 game? I love that game so much.

This QL could have used Vinny with all the Italian talk. It's tough seeing people try to figure this stuff out when you have beaten it yourself. It's like watching people play a puzzle game kind of frustrating.

Anywho, I really enjoy the game. There's a lot about it that could have been better but for what it is it's fun.

I didn't want to be a dictator, but I grew up w/mob vs cop tv series and drama. This kind of appeals to me. Funny how different it is from present day realities, though not as an absolute.
