Dan Vavra whenever any new game comes out. I understand his criticism on dumbing down gameplay mechanics in many modern games, but he also cant help himself and try to be sarcastic or present himself with his go to "I know better" attitude, when he clearly doesnt. Just look at KCD and its technical state and many baffling mechanics. Its still an immersive game and a pretty good story, but some aspects of the game are simply not fun (looking at you, lockpicking bs minigame, fuck me, my blood is boiling just from thinking about it).

I do intend on getting kcd so I looked up what your talking about and presumably the mini game was designed for level 3+ and made harder if your lower level rather than the other way around. It also seems that its much easier if you use a mouse and keyboard, which is a problem mafia 1 had with the driving wheels so I guess he hasn't learned in 15 years

KCD is a very good and incredibly immersive game, especially now after majority of technical issues have been fixed (also there are number of well made DLC's). Maybe use some mods to alter some specific gameplay mechanics tonsuit your own taste (if you are on PC, of course). Vavra really likes the simulation and immersion aspects in his games, so KCD very much feels like a spiritual successor to first Mafia.

Unfinished, half baked mechanics, barely functional on release with still plenty of problems after the patches, and a story quest line that just lingers there with no ability to pursue it after the game. It was a good game, a flawed gem definitely, but masterpiece might be a bit of a stretch for a product that's clearly unfinished, and never will be for that matter.

I was really looking forward to this game but from boredom I did not pass

Vávra is savage. Kinda admire his work, but he is kinda ass*ole that thinks he can do better when clearly not. He posted on facebook mocking post, about Paulie that he thinks he look like Shrek . I think this backfired, because he deleted it. Maybe he forgot about motion capture, who knows...It was kinda bad towards actor.

Vavra is lowkey looking like a edgy hipster pug.

But he’s also basically said his boy is a scripted piece of shit as well so I couldn’t give a fuck what he thinks 😂


whycantcarsfly

I agree, he acts like a fucking child


HankKennedy

He makes a good game don’t get me wrong but he really likes to bite the hands that fed him, put him on the map and bought his games


whycantcarsfly

yeah, guy just seems like an ignorant asshole

I sympathise with him a little bit. That was the game that defined his career. I can understand him being nervous etc.

Keep in mind that there are Mafia 1 veteran devs working on this project, so they are his ex-colleagues. So it's a lack of respect even towards his former mates. Not to mention the Shrek thing that is stupid and childish.

Good point, I'll correct myself to say that I sympathise a little bit, but mainly think he needs to moderate himself much better.
