Finally wrote about it, driving in Mafia III rules hard exalclaw.com/mafia-iii-fa...

exalclaw.comWhen The Scenic Route Is Worth ItFast travel isn't the worst feature to include, but Mafia III is a great example of why it can be worth forcing players to spend time traveling.

The more I think about it the more it seems Mafia III is a rebuke against fast travel. Ive got no clue if it’s in the game at all based on where Im at, and nothing has indicated it’ll make an appearance, but I hope it doesn’t!

A game that immediately came to mind as something to compare with is NFS Underground 2, an open-world racer with no fast travel that on the one hand absolutely benefits from that.. and on the other hand turns into a tedious traveling salesman problem

It’s a strong case! Also helped by smth I didnt mention in the piece which is it doesnt actually take that long to get anywhere
