If he is, that means he might had been a mob boss, but we can't tell because we don't know his last name. nervous.gif

You're just stereotyping. Just because he might be an italian, how does that make him a mob boss? And we don't know yet.

Umm, lemme see. This is a GRAND THEFT AUTO game, where the main character is a rich criminal, yeah really sounds like the average Italian guy. I'm totally stereotyping. confused.gif

Well, if you remember Phil or Ray in IV, they were doing those kinds of jobs to gain the mafia's respect in order to get made one day.

 

Goodfellas, also. With the Lufthansa heist and everything.

 

Maybe it was a way for him to start?

He probably eats spaghetti and his son is rich, charming and very athletic and his daughter is a whore but really smart and rich. (only two things were true in this sentence figure it out and you can have this cookie.gif )

I'm betting Michael was an associate in a Mafia family. I doubt he was the boss.

You are. Doesn't matter if it's a video game because if Rockstar gave us an Italian character, and he was just a very experienced criminal/bank robber and not a Mob Boss, you would question this automatically. "Ohh, I thought he was a mob boss, hurr durr".

First of all, it only makes logical sense for an Italian criminal to have mafia connections. Robbers are very rarely self contained, but I'm sure you haven't read any crime books or movies or done any research.

 

Second of all, you should really stop criticizing a half-Italian person about stereotyping of Italians.

 

And I never said I thought he was a mob boss just because he is a criminal, I just thought that it made perfect story sense, he must had left Liberty City to cut his ties rather than to just start over, if it was for the weather why would he not go to Vice City? Better weather over there, but more mob presence...

But who the f*ck said he even has connections to the mafia? He is a PROFESSIONAL EX-BANK ROBBER, and Rockstar even said he has been in LS ever since. But we aren't sure if he has been in LS all his life or moved from somewhere else.

We are absolutely positive that he has not been in LS his whole life, he said it in the first trailer.

Greenrock made a same topic no long a ago, and well we all are familiar with famous greenrock's topic, so i don't think you want to be in the same bag (no offense greenrock lol).

 

The are two ways to know if Michael is Italian.

1. if rockstar releases his last name

2. when we see his last name on september 17th

 

Edit: Unless you are Greenrock! :conspiracy keanu:

Oh yeah, DAMN! blush.gif

 

Other than that, I'm certain he is just an ex pro bank robber. I would like to see a mob boss or some proper high level criminal in another GTA though.

How does being italian automatically mean "Mob Boss"

Look I know Hollywood has filled your brain with this perception of reality but truth be told there are mob bosses affiliated with all races

 

There are also Italians who run street gangs, do petty crimes, and participate in other unorganized crimes.

 

Here's a long list of many mob bosses. Note how they are not all italian.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mob_bosses

 

Point being made even if michael turns out to be italian it doesn't mean he will be a mob boss. Cause then by your same logic we might as well assume that anyone of any other race just might as well possibly be a mob boss. There's absolutely know reason to believe so and referencing that fact that you are half-italian does nothing for your argument.

It's not that. And you just answered my perception. Hollywood has filled bullsh*t into people's minds. That's why some people assume Italian characters are mob bosses. Movies have the biggest influence. For instance, Casino and Goodfella's. The mob's in the movies are Italian and a lot of people think a lot of Italians are mob bosses.

Michael doesn't strike me as a former member of the Italian Mafia. I actually hope that there isn't any real Italian Mafia presence in the game. It's been beat to death in GTA for a long time.

I'd hazard a guess that Micheal's ancestry is predominantly Irish while Amanda's is British, maybe with a little Italian thrown in.

He was a f*cking bank robber, as we've been told in every preview so far + the gameplay vid. I'm sick of people obsessing with 'he's white, he might be italian'. No.

I just figured it. Michael could of worked for a Mafia family in Liberty City, put in the witness protection program and re-located to Los Santos.
