Ex-Mob Boss Reacts to GTA Vice City

In this captivating episode of Gamology, we are thrilled to welcome our special guest, Michael Franzese, who brings his unique perspective and real-life experiences to the world of gaming. As a former member of the American mafia, Michael is the perfect fit to react to the iconic game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which immerses players in the gritty and glamorous underworld of organized crime. With his insider knowledge and fascinating stories, Michael will take us on a journey through the virtual streets of Vice City, drawing parallels between the game's depiction of the mafia lifestyle and his own experiences in the real world. From the power struggles and alliances to the high-stakes heists and daring escapades, Michael will share his thoughts on how the game captures the essence of the American mafia and what it gets right (or wrong) about this complex and intriguing subculture.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a beloved classic for many late '90s kids who spent hours exploring its vibrant and dangerous open world on their old PCs, is just the beginning of this episode's deep dive into the Grand Theft Auto series. Michael will also be reacting to the groundbreaking sequel, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which takes players on an unforgettable journey through the fictional state of San Andreas. Released in 2004 and developed by Rockstar North, this action-adventure game follows the story of Carl "CJ" Johnson, a former gangster who finds himself drawn back into a life of crime after returning home for his mother's funeral. As Michael explores the game's vast and immersive open world, he'll share his thoughts on CJ's struggles with corrupt authorities, powerful criminals, and the challenges of navigating the complex web of gang politics. With his unique blend of gaming commentary and real-life anecdotes, Michael Franzese is sure to provide an entertaining and enlightening look at one of the most influential and controversial game series of all time.

Ex-Mob Boss REACTS to GTA Vice City

[scotgrig]

Rest in peace Ray Liotta. He did very good as Tommy.

[firered]

They used the original version, THANK GOD!

[elvinmacospag]

"You tell someone you're gonna kill 'em, you do it on the spot."

The matter-of-fact tone made it chilling.

[nothinghere]

Michael should react to GTA IV.
In multiple parts. Why?
It's set in fictional New York, where he did business.
There's Italians and Russians involved, so a group that Michael was a part of and a group he did a lot of business with.

But it's a BIG GAME with a lot of content. One 15 minute video wouldn't be enough to cover all interesting facts and stories that Michael could tell us while watching it. Multiple crime families, gangsters from different places and eras, thus - different mindsets.

Michael should also have the ability to pause a cutscene when he hears something really interesting.

PLEASE. Make it happen

[metalngames]

For a 71 year old guy he looks like he's doing well.

[TheBluePhenom]

I think he might find more connection with GTA IV but I appreciate his take/view on Vice City (and the storyline still holds up too after all these years!)

[ohhwell]

"Diaz had to die"

That is indeed a universal truth.

[alejandrososa]

I would watch Michael reacting to any and all video games. Truly entertaining just to see his takes.

[zahreel]

It's my favorite guy again! Glad you're featuring him so soon since the last video

[kevinb]

it's weird looking back at the graphics now. They were so good at the time lol. Still my favourite GTA, just loved the era, the music, the vibe and and the sunshine visuals.

[thedarkknight]

Guarantee, if Rockstar gave Vice City a full remake it would easily make a billion dollars in the first week of release.

[iyehp]

RIP Ray Liotta. He was amazing in everything he had a part in, especially this amazing game. :)

[BWZeR]

Oh how I waited for someone to react to Vice City, love that game to death

[SpiriualShi]

This dude is 71 years old, looks better than I.

[RabidNemo]

I have a lot of respect for him for saying that it looks like a good game and it's pulling him in and respects it for the entertainment value aspect. There's been so many times where there's been similar videos to this with different experts on something and all they can do is tear it apart when it's clearly there for entertainment purposes It's just nice that he's found an awesome balance between pointing out that it's not realistic while also praising it

[jvam]

At least you guys had the decency to put the old version and not the DE version to Michael to react, lmao!

[dscott]

Definitely would love to see his reaction to GTA liberty city stories. It's the GTA that focuses all about the Mafia

[Kite]

I like hearing about this man's experiences. Obviously Vice City is a bit exaggerated, but it's nice that he got a chuckle out of it

[Morill]

It's amazing that you could literally put Mike in there and he could be a part of the story

[MVER]

Wow, I usually don't like these "Bank Robber watches GTA V" style of videos, BUT this time it's totally different this guy is super chill and explains it in a way that's understandable, and I may be biased because I love VC haha
