The man deserves his own game as the main protagonist. The most entertaining and interesting character in the whole game. If 2K don't make a spin-off game with Donovan, they're missing one hell of a golden opportunity. Even if the gameplay was repetitive and average, I'd pay full price just because Donovan is in it. Best video game NPC ever!
I'm 70% sure Mafia 3 is getting a DLC based on that last cutscene about JFK. Whether or not we'll get to play as dovonan, I'm not so sure, but I know a DLC based around Donovan is coming for sure.
Lol and you shouldn't have said no didn't make your head explode? That scene blew me away. That was a twist that I sincerely had to give a bravo to, just like the ending in this one. I love John Donovan he's my favorite. I want to see a game where him and Vito scalleta are working together and maybe they are all that's left of Lincoln's empire and they're out to just kill every last scumbag motherfucker we've seen in the series. That honestly even sounds like how ol' John-don would've said it.
Did you help Lincoln Clay murder Sal Marcano and all prominent members of his crime family? *Donovan leans back and smirks while CCR starts playing* You're goddamn right I did. Hands down, best scene in the game.
@@BOSSMOPS. Would you like me to remind you who kicked Germany's ass in both world wars for you when you turned out to weak to do it yourself? Or how about who kept the soviets from chainin you up? Oh right, it was us!
@@botgamingthebad Woods is a soldier, Donovan's more like a fancy version of him, and smarter one, cuz he's CIA...yo know? Woods doesn't give a damn about mud, blood and this whole stuff on him....Donovan, on the other hand, wouldn't be so chilled w/ this sort of stuff on his suit.
So basically regardless whatever you decide in this game Donovan picks up where Lincoln left off on whacking and assassinating mob bosses but in his case anyone responsible for the murder of President Kennedy. Ex-CIA operative on a patriotic mission
9:11 I love the little polite ''Sorry'' hand gesture he did for yelling. Then 2 minutes later proceeds to shoot him. Shit like this is why I love this character
Gregunit They can call it CIA instead of Mafia. Or, here's a thought, if Rockstar aren't doing anything with Agent, perhaps Take Two can take that title and name the Donovan game "Agent". It seems more appropriate, actually.
The objectives themselves were repetitive, although I really liked the mechanics in terms of movement and stealth, moving from cover to cover during shootouts felt cool
*Don John* 🙌 Whoever delivered the voice of John, really sold the part at 09:51 - that voice crack as he he told what he did over there, made me feel what he was about to tell. Sheeee he did this good.
@@moviewriter93 nah, Kennedy wanted to clip Fed's wings, so he got shot. Hussein changed his oil trading currency to euro, they hung his ass. Gaddafi wanted to introduce gold-based currency, he got dragged out of the hole and torn apart. See the pattern there?
9:18 that was amazing down to how he looked. Definitely my favorite character in the series, definitely more than clay (LC reminds me of connor from AC3).
Meeting represents the army jrotc student leaders attempting to kick me out instead of me cutting a women Apart it's me sitting in a down pour building a camp for my team
@@tahitiplanderlinde8640 Donovan is the type of guy who definitely does not care about anyone’s feelings, but he’s definitely the man you want to have your back in any situation.
So Donovan is anti communist, anti fascist, anti white supremacists and a patriot. Yeah, I think this guy ticks all the spots to make him a great man in my eyes.
@@mingchenwei1978 Yes, unfortunately he also tortured and killed a civilian to save some of his fellow americans. But he still has more qualities than bad things. Not a saint, definetely, but a good man.
Utterly loved Clay, loved Donovan. Enjoyed the hell out of this game, which is saying something cause it was repetitive as fuck but the story held it up and made it all worth while.
When this cutscene was playing when I beat the game, I was about to go to the bathroom when Donovan yelled: "SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP", which I did and waited until the cutscene ended. It was hard, but it was worth it xD
Senator: "Did you help Lincoln Clay murder Sal Marcano and all prominent members of his crime family?" **Bad Moon rising starts playing** Donovan: "Your goddamn right I did." One of the best seconds in gaming history in my book! xD
Delrico Ferguson no he is half Cole phelps smartass man who knows what do to in essential times and half Trevor Philips a psychopath short tempered man who would do anything for his friends and either hates or love things
That " you god damn right i did" always will be badass to me. So chill and cocky at the same time about taking down the mob...plus it leads into my favorite song😂😂
Truly a bro of incalculable magnitude. A buddy who shed blood in the jungle with him calls him up looking for revenge, Donavan moves heaven and earth to help him.
7:34 I think it’s insanely telling that Sammy didn’t kill the man who double crossed him, just kicked him out of the Hollow. Sammy clearly was a much better person than portrayed.
Mafia 3 isn’t really a mafia game. It’s an open world video game with Mafia’s features. It’s the only mafia game where you are not a part of a crime family. Instead you make your own :/ that’s cheesy.
I don't know why but the way Donavan smiles everytime he remembers doing something like helping Lincoln take down sal marcano's family in different ways is just absolute savage 😂
Donovan was a great character. I guess he works better in the role of sidekick or whatever, but I think he's more than interesting enough to base an entire game on him as the protagonist. Have it set in Vegas in the 1970's, other locations nearby like Lake Tahoe, the Mojave. And it doesn't have to be just a one-dimensional story of him hunting down those responsible for the Kennedy assassination. An ex-CIA man would undoubtedly have a colorful past which we got a taste of in the DLC content. Sorry, I forget what it was called. Anyway, maybe he works better as an ally rather than the main character. I heard there's no interest in another installment in the Mafia franchise. Strange considering how many people are intrigued with the topic. Oh well.
Give Donovan 1 week. Give him a Silenced 1911, maybe couple of ammo crates and a Mobile Intelligence Center like in Mafia 3 and he'll be president of the USA by Friday.
Literally my favorite aspect of this game were these scenes and Donovan as a character Damn shame they didn’t let us play as him or make a game centred around him
Donovan is a great character. I want him as a DLC. (just so cool about every response and not guilty about it. Then walks out like a badsss after shooting the senator.)
@Chevrolet Camaro SS 70s Imagine John Donovan CIA agent meets another Badass CIA agent which is Hudson and Adler? That would be fucking cool, like a story between their platoon crossing each other in vietnam. Since John and Lincoln in a black ops out of laos on behalf of CIA, a Joint task and was Donovan that trained Lincoln.

At the very least, there should be a DLC or spinoff game where we play as john Donovan and eliminate the conspirators behind the JFK assassination.
Nicholas Blemel sounds not bad
I agree
Yeah, but I am not sure how people would react to that, that is if there are even conspirators behind such a thing.

Gregunit I think this part concludes in one of the three major DLC's for Mafia 3 where Lincoln and Donovan work together.
Maybe the next game could be about the Bratva (Russian mob)
ShefSale21 they aren't gonna do the Russian mob either it's donovan or the Irish crime family's in detroit
if Licoln can bring the whole Marcano mob down. Imagine what Donovan can do...

I know. There are a few good movies every now and then, but mostly just recycled crap
Because politics run Hollywood. If this was a movie people would probably be getting assassinated
