Fancy a new Gangster Game, (were you get gang warfare & territory)

Any Suggestions? looking for newer titles.

Already Completed:
Mafia I/II
GTA (ALL)
Saints row 1/2/3
Ometra (Turn based strat)
Sleeping dogs (one of my favs)
Watch dogs (although not gangster as such)

WD i got 100 hours in
SD got 90 hours in
Mafia II i got 80 hours in.
 
Anything by EA - they're infamous gangsters :D

Saints Row IV is great fun - insane and completely over the top, but great fun.
 
Something different...

I'm not sure if you're into retro games or how it holds up today, but what about "Gangsters: Organised Crime"?

It's a tycoon type game from yesteryear, where you run a gang, control territory etc. I seem to recall it was well received upon release.

This game was sooo good :)
 
only relevant games mentioned are saints row IV and mafia 3 since he asked for new/ish games :P

for saints row IV its more territory than gangster but its also sci fi crap, saints row III is much more gangster

mafia 3 is a good game its just a terrible port, graphics etc will bug you too much in the end, ive played it a fair bit 20+ hours but could not finish it due to this
as others said i would wait until its really cheap on a sale then maybe get it purely for gameplay

cant think of any others that are new or havent already been mentioned.
 
Saints Row IV is too mad I just couldnt get with it. Saints Row III is brilliant and would fit the bill. Played hours on that. Even Saints Row II might be worth it too.

I bought Mafia 3 but still not played it. I reckon if I leave it a year then try it then it might be a good game.

Sleeping Dogs ?
 
The Godfather.

Second game was 'okay' in a GTA Vice City with slightly more depth way but the 1st game of the two is completely ****ing unrivaled. Has everything you could ever want out of a gangster game, isn't some god awful movie cashin like 99% of brand games. It is 1940s GTA with a pretty intricate system of extorting and taking over store fronts and sometimes ilegal activities behind said shops, like ilegal poker in the back room of a jewelry shop. Has some RPG elements too, and pretty awesome scripted executions with each weapon, intimidation/interrogation mini games, you name it and it has it, in the most fedora and tommy gun ways possible. :D
