For those wondering his thoughts on Mafia III, he says that the Italian Mafia would never engage with a black man like with Lincoln Clay, it just defeats the whole point of the Mafia story. The Mafia were racists and xenophobes. He also dislikes how Vito is portrayed, he is like a caricature of his Mafia II character, and that it is not canon in his world. He also said it looks like a generic Ubisoft game.
@@Beansy72x To the best of my knowledge, Bumpy Johnson was mainly involved on the drug side of things, he didn't go on heists like what Lincoln did, unless I stand corrected
The mafia engaged with black people, is just the black people could not ascend on the mafia as they will always remain as associated, the cosa nostra was only for Italian and Italians descendants mostly from Sicily, but they did business with whatever race that was what lucky luciano did, he created a enterprise where everyone could work and take part of the cake, but controlled by Italians, they had business with Jewish, blacks etc. But they (Italians) will be the bosses, so yeah what mafia 3 story tells about the business between Sal Marcano and sammy robbinson could happen, Sammy lives on a black community so they need a black figure to rule there.
The mob worked with Black people a decent bit lol it’s just them being of Sicilian blood and being taught those beliefs didn’t have respect for Black people beyond a few exceptions. It was usually just them “using” us for lack of a better term lol, look at Sammy the bull who I know is later in life but worked with a lot of Black People lol
@@Spicka-7K- I’m not sure if Dan is implying the fans don’t know what they want but if he was he’d be right I don’t just want a good story which the fans claim to be the biggest selling point of the franchise, but the realistic and compelling gameplay that Mafia 1 had, that Mafia 2 slightly had. Mafia 3 and Mafia Demake ended up becoming more generic shooters with no backbone to the gunplay
@@latinobunny9882 I agree with you. Personally, I'm looking forward to the new installment and would welcome the promised linearity like in Mafia 1 and 2 and Demake. Definitely what I don't want is Lost Heaven again. I'd like to see more Empire Bay in the 20s, but that's 95% not going to happen. At least we'll get the promised Sicily and my guess is that's definitely where the first chapter in Mafia 2 will take place.
Can we all take a minute to appreciate how Mafia Game Videos respects their audience? You had a ready clip with comments and growing views, but you re-uploaded it without the AI speech experiment after considering your audience feedback and making a correction. Kudos man, come un frate, you're like a brother to us! PS. And now, with original Czech speech I can (as a Polish speaker understanding Czech easily) clearly detect true intent when he talks about JK Rowling and "some game designers" with "bad" ideas. You were right, he seems on the based side, so that's good. Thank you again!
Thank you for your comment! Instead of using AI to translate the audio, I realized you guys were right, better to use original audio and just add subtitles. I even added lip-syncing but it looked goofy like others said. The original upload did get more views in the first hours but oh well. It was very time consuming to manually create the subtitles on photoshop. I could have used apps to auto translate but either they’re not accurate or exporting lowers the quality. I need more Czech friends to inform me about anything Mafia related 😅. RafCapone (fellow Czech subscriber) reached out to me and helped me translate this video since I don’t understand anything.
@@matyas_drums Maybe your confusion comes from the auto-translated channel name (and possibly video titles), if you have your browser and specifically RUclips set to Czech language... I don't know what kind of a trend it is to have everything (often badly) automatically translated these days, but it was the main reason why I set everything to English, just so I don't have to deal with awful translations on some specific websites and generally so I avoid any kind of confusion...
I know to some fans it sounds very crazy having John Donovan as jfk's biological mother and francesca scarletta John Donovan biological mother but it could be way how they can get vito to kill joe which I don't want for the series but some RUclipsr from a different channel said they could be way how they can get vito to turn on joe and kill him in the next mafia game 🤔 mafia iv for the series because vito would not kill his biological nephew it could also be the only way they could bring francesca scarletta vito's sister back to the series please mention all my ideas for the series of the game mafia the old country could actually beat all the godfather movies and all the godfather video games
He's not wrong. Mafia 3 is a 'mafia' game in name alone. Its not a terrible game, its just a terrible mafia game. Its sad the awesome time period won't be used for a proper mafia title unless they reboot and even if that happens it wont be for a long time.
Mafia 3 is definitely an entirely different spin on the franchise. So many people hating on it because of the protagonist (not race bait) and the perspective. Meanwhile, Mafia 3 had the most Mafia-esque gameplay mechanics alongside with the incredible atmosphere and a gangsterous script about family, loyalty and honor. People always so critical if the labels are switched, and I'm all for another italian entry in the series, but Mafia 3 deserves a lot more than it receives.
@@soknheith3259 I agree. It's a different spin on Mafia. Mafia 3 is definitely the weakest but still a pretty good Mafia game. I liked that it was different and I enjoyed the gameplay. Although if it was a shorter game I wouldn't complain. Still, the story, the setting, the gunplay and cars... The main story missions are amazing. For example, the sinking ship is still in my memory to this day and I played it only once. I used to hate it until I finally installed the game and spent few hours in it.
@@soknheith3259 Mafia 3 literally has the less "Mafia-esque" gamplay mechanics of the series. That's literally the main complain most fans had of that game, even bigger than the protagonist and the "side" you are in (even though this ones were also incredible dumb decisions)
@@Don_Ramiro Bringing down a mobster family district by district in order to replace it with your own family looks like Mafia-esque gameplay to me. I need to play it again someday...
@@emre-ie7ox Hm. I am not gonna answer that in detail because not everyone would agree. The fact is, he is an incredibly arrogant person full of hate and he despises anyone who doesn't share his worldview. And he has no respect for anyone or anything. Just be glad you don't speak czech 😂 That way, he can still be your hero till the end of times. Good for you 👍

@@jonas8588It's kinda true though Mafia is a masterpiece. Mafia 2 is a damn good game but wasted potential with what we know from the beta and Mafia 3... better left unsaid
@@Mahoromatic As I said elsewhere. Mafia 3 is still a pretty enjoyable game, at least for me. A different spin on the series. I didn't like the lenght of it but I had a very good time playing it, especially the main story missions which are quite original in many ways. Fighting on a sinking ship is probably the best "ship moment" in any Mafia game. The game itself is the weakest in the franchise but I liked the idea of bringing down the entire Marcano family and replacing it with something that I (the player / Lincoln Clay) created. I loved that I wasn't just a pawn of another mobster. I wouldn't left it unsaid. A solid 7/10 for me personally. Also, the music (copyrighted and original) is the strongest aspect of Mafia 3.

he worked on Mafia 2, that he couldn't finish it properly is partly his fault but anyways he is the creator of Kingdom Come: Deliverence if you want to support him now
The thing that i agree regarding developing something, like he said, in the end of the day, he is the one that making most of the decision which yeah i agree is for the best to not deviated from what the product is. Try to pleasing everybody and you ended up pleasing no one and that everybody will most likely gonna accepting the direction anyway not because they like it, its mostly because it does make senses to do or add certain way. For me specially, i ended up loving this game for that reason. They do not shy away from just do it and not bending knees.
I think mafia, the old country, needs to include open type similar like mafia 3 systems... as much as i love linear style mafia 3 version is better in term map design
I just hope they give Mafia The Old Country the right amount of love it deserves. The Mafia series has always been the best in depicting in detail the full environment of the time period it's set in, truly. But look at Mafia Definitive Edition: Tommy, an ordinary cab driver, was just a sad reskin of Lincoln Clay, a vietnam veteran, in all its animations and movesets and this is a shame! And all the cut content also... It was skinned to bones, just a mere "cinematic experience" with a far less deep story and characters and a less engaging gameplay too, which is much more simplified than the original. Don't get me wrong I really hope to see a great game in Mafia The Old Country, but seeing gaming nowadays it all seems just a huge cash grab... who can tell
Somewhere in a different universe, Hangar 13 didn't do the remake and just let Mafia 1 die, and people like you are probably much happier there. I grew up with the original game and i'm grateful to them for making it, you just enjoy hating things.
@@rmngddd Hey man, what I wrote is what I think of the definitive edition as a Mafia player who has played them all and appreciated the deepness of all the details that made the different titles immersive and believable. As far as I'm concerned the environment and vibe of all Mafias is a 10/10, but as you see I can't say the same for the topics I touched regarding Mafia Definitive Edition. I talked about giving Mafia The Old Country the love it deserves because I don't think Mafia DE has received it (for the reasons I wrote in the original comment). I, as you do, want to see the Mafia series be successfull but not just by conforming to the mediocrity of AAA titles these days: pretty graphics, broken content, mediocre stereotyped story and low depth of gameplay (And unfortunately I think Mafia DE sinned in that way). Don't take it too personal, I know there is a lot of people hating because that's all they have, but don't generalize please: I don't enjoy hating on stuff
They should’ve took mafia into the 70s they covered the 20s/30s 40s 50s and late 60s with 3. A move into the 70s would’ve been closer to the original script than taking it suddenly back as a prequel. 70s Vegas ran by the Italian mob in its heyday would’ve been the top of the cake. Mentions of Vito running casinos in new Bordeaux. Paying tribute to the commission, etc and then maybe growing into the final days of the Italian mob in the 80s and 90s and the fall of mob run Vegas.
Yes the new Mafia can be amazing and I really enjoyed also the remake of the first one. He regrets cashing out so he talks nonsense everywhere due to his ego.
If he likes it he will praise it. That’s a fact. He praises things all the time. Mafia 3 wasn’t good and the remake also was a disappointment at least for me.
@@raskolnikov6443 You are naive, also I did not mention Mafia 3, I never played this one. I said he wish he would never get payed out and that the Mafia 4 can be great 😉
@@ambrosi1153 No more ego than Haden Blackman changing the original ending of Mafia 1 in the remake to force his "family theme" that has nothing to do with the original game.
Italians aren't the only mobster in the world so get you're facts right John gotti would even say the same thing if he was still here. Read you're facts before you judge a book by its cover.
creative differences I think, the 40s era of Mafia 2 was written by Daniel Vavrva but thr 50s had to be rewritten, so with that some ideas got removed like the game having 4 or 5 different endings
Because Daniel work for 2 years on his version of Mafia 3, but producers cancel it. Then he left and funded Warhorse Studios and made Kingdom Come Deliverance.
@@FordzyS Incorrect. He left the studio during Mafia 2 development. He had already some story of Mafia 3 but nothing of that never came to development. The released Mafia 3 game and even the 2nd half of Mafia 2 were completely out of Daniel's job. He had been working on completely different stories for Mafia 2 and 3.
Yo i know it was like a year ago but how do you launch mafia rise and fall every time i press mafia it just get me to the main game not the mod and yes i did install it
He left before Mafia 2 because the series was starting to get worse. Best Mafia is still first one and we still can feel his touch by missions structure and variety.
@@MafiaGameVideos Doesn't matter. The studio absolutely butchered it and the story is nonsense. Not many videogames have that many plotholes as Mafia II due to massive cuts of content. This is not what he wrote.
@@assassin8636 Oh yeah, first one is the best. Not just in the context of time of release, in many aspects it beats all other three games even without taking the context into account. Which is so sad for the franchise, really.
@@Pidalin ye but he created that game. Mafia 3 is good example that u can officialy own what u want but if u dont have right ppl, just the name is not enough .... and its happened when Daniel left and Mafia 3 became crap
Na Mafii od Vávry byl vždy dobrý model řízení vozů a dobrý model střelby to si myslím je základ když ty auta budou jezdit jak nfs tak to nikoho bavit nebude to samí střelba. Další je chytlavý příběh. Dnešní hry jdou cestou hra pro všechny a to nemůže být nikdy dobrý.
V titulku je napsáno, že jde o reakci na novou Mafii, přitom je to střižené tak, že první polovinu Vávra mluví o vývoji KCD2. Když něco děláš, tak to dělej pořádně!
He is against woke and he wants absolute freedom of speach and stuff like that, that's enough to be canceled. He can be prick sometimes, but I agree with him with freedom of speech, because it's really getting worse in Europe. Time of 100% freedom of speach ended after like 2010, even humor is censored, dark humor is already almost illegal.
@@Pidalinlol, you sound paranoid. It’s pretty clear he stands with JK Rowling despite her transphobic comments. Don’t pretend freedom of speech is a risk just because people are starting to fight against transphobia.
mostly he just talks bullshit and acts as if he knows about everything, when in actualty he only knows about game development (but in that regard, his opinion is mostly that any game that isn't developed by him is bad)
Mafia 3 s gunplay is undeniably satisfying . The weaponry and freedom of choice . People make the same dumb incorrect statements about mafia 3. Its is about the mob, u get to divide it up etc. U r the boss, its about takeover revenge. Maybe they should of called it mafia:mob wars .
@Don_Ramiro Yes, but unlike the previous mafia game... mafia, 3 feels unstoppable. lincoln gameplay is really good. It feels like another punisher game combine with max payne 3
@@amiramri3032 Like I said, generic and repetitive. And that's considering like it was a "independent" game. By independent, I mean if it didn't belong to any franchise, but it supposedly was a Mafia game, so it's gameplay being, in your own words, like literally two different games, it's simply insulting
Well to be fair with mafia 3, no one has MADE the AI for mafia 3 so they still have yet to do that really, as dear god was the AI stupid in that game lol as its rigged up like the AI from the Fistful of Yen Parody of enter the dragon, and he's right, who's going to be writing it, and personally I kinda hate more what they did in the Remake, more than what they did with Mafia 3, like theirs alot of little things they shouldnt have changed, and left in, and it felt like they were trying to write out the original mafia 1, and I'd be curious is that the old guard that left that did that, or the new as that alone will tell me if its worth paying attention to
Low quality taste buds you got there Vavra left on his own because 2K curtailed his creative freedom, and the fact that you still support the Mafia franchise despite it being watered down to a generic shooter only means you have no idea what you’re talking about The story to Mafia was perverted for no reason at all with the remake and replacing the gameplay with Mafia 3 gameplay is utterly disgusting
Take-Two/2K are salty and did him dirty. The Mafia Remake disrespected his original creation by changing the words of Intermezzo 1 and the epilogue, it's not the same meaning behind the story that he wanted to portray.
Fans only care about good graphics and gameplay be damned. Just look the at DE. Overwhelmingly positive reception with the best graphics in the series but the most uninspiring gameplay in the series.
That's not true, that's what studios believe, but most of people don't care about graphics at all, look at how many people still play WoW and such old games. Gameplay is much more important and you can also play old games with high FPS.
He seems like a difficult character to be honest, but a lot of creative people are like that. I don't find it ridiculous that you can like something that someone made that you dislike. I disagree with him on Rowling and HP there.
Are you guys forgetting the american gangster he was black was in the mob and lead the mob lol and you say mafia 3 incorrect you all failed mafia 3 by not knowing this. Quit putting hangar 13 down the game was amazing so was the dlc way better then mafia lol that game was not a real mob game...
They forget about Joe Gallo and other crime bosses who worked with blacks and had them in their families. No they weren't like made men but they sometimes gave them their our factions and neighborhoods to run.
Prostě pokud budou ve hře koně a fyzika nebude počítat teplotu kopit a její vliv na přilnavost k terénu, tak to není Mafia. Miloval jsem všechny Mafie, i dvojku, trojku i remake, všechny jsem si parádně užil a může se nad tím vztekat, kdo chce a jak chce.
Daniel Vavra sounds like one of the few developers out there who aren't afraid to call out a game or a studio when they make a game in a beloved franchise, and it feels like it doesn't belong, as if they just stamped the franchise's name on a product to sell, but the soul isn't there. Mafia 3 is a good example of it, it doesn't feel like a game from the Mafia series, it feels like a generic sandbox GTA style game, but they had the Mafia IP laying around so they just called it Mafia 3 to hype it up.

I gotta say, this is probably the only thing I have looking forward to in the gaming world. GTA has become too big, and no one is willing to compete
yeah I´m down for some linear story like Mafia DE and II
@@chris_player2995 amen there
I believe the game will be great!
Same!
And I believe that Mafia 3 didn't suck! Not every game has to be focused on the Italian Mafia! This bro too focused on the past!
@@christopherbaltodano6584why name it Mafia then?
@@christopherbaltodano6584 It's called Mafia. We want to be mobsters. Sorry man. That's like taking Fifa and making it about fighting dragons.
@@christopherbaltodano6584 but the mafia game should be focused on... the mafia
I just hope they give Mafia The Old Country the right amount of love it deserves. The Mafia series has always been the best in depicting in detail the full environment of the time period it's set in, truly. But look at Mafia Definitive Edition: Tommy, an ordinary cab driver, was just a sad reskin of Lincoln Clay, a vietnam veteran, in all its animations and movesets and this is a shame! And all the cut content also... It was skinned to bones, just a mere "cinematic experience" with a far less deep story and characters and a less engaging gameplay too, which is much more simplified than the original. Don't get me wrong I really hope to see a great game in Mafia The Old Country, but seeing gaming nowadays it all seems just a huge cash grab... who can tell
Somewhere in a different universe, Hangar 13 didn't do the remake and just let Mafia 1 die, and people like you are probably much happier there. I grew up with the original game and i'm grateful to them for making it, you just enjoy hating things.
@@rmngddd Hey man, what I wrote is what I think of the definitive edition as a Mafia player who has played them all and appreciated the deepness of all the details that made the different titles immersive and believable. As far as I'm concerned the environment and vibe of all Mafias is a 10/10, but as you see I can't say the same for the topics I touched regarding Mafia Definitive Edition. I talked about giving Mafia The Old Country the love it deserves because I don't think Mafia DE has received it (for the reasons I wrote in the original comment). I, as you do, want to see the Mafia series be successfull but not just by conforming to the mediocrity of AAA titles these days: pretty graphics, broken content, mediocre stereotyped story and low depth of gameplay (And unfortunately I think Mafia DE sinned in that way). Don't take it too personal, I know there is a lot of people hating because that's all they have, but don't generalize please: I don't enjoy hating on stuff
I disregard the Definitive Edition, and wish the original Mafia was backwards compatible. I'll play it again someday.
Thanks for translating
No problem 😊
Based Vavra.
They should’ve took mafia into the 70s they covered the 20s/30s 40s 50s and late 60s with 3. A move into the 70s would’ve been closer to the original script than taking it suddenly back as a prequel. 70s Vegas ran by the Italian mob in its heyday would’ve been the top of the cake. Mentions of Vito running casinos in new Bordeaux. Paying tribute to the commission, etc and then maybe growing into the final days of the Italian mob in the 80s and 90s and the fall of mob run Vegas.
I wanted 70s Vegas with Don Saleri's son.
REALLY REALLY NEED TO MAFIA II in the MAFIA III, MAFIA Definitive Edition Engine! That way, Everything will be smooth and priceless!!!
The classic Dan Vavra opinion 😂 dont expect him to praise anything more from this series 😂
Yes the new Mafia can be amazing and I really enjoyed also the remake of the first one. He regrets cashing out so he talks nonsense everywhere due to his ego.
@@ambrosi1153you couldn’t be more wrong
If he likes it he will praise it. That’s a fact. He praises things all the time. Mafia 3 wasn’t good and the remake also was a disappointment at least for me.
@@raskolnikov6443 You are naive, also I did not mention Mafia 3, I never played this one. I said he wish he would never get payed out and that the Mafia 4 can be great 😉
@@ambrosi1153 No more ego than Haden Blackman changing the original ending of Mafia 1 in the remake to force his "family theme" that has nothing to do with the original game.
And... we've learned basically nothing...
My thing is.....after Mafia 2, they should have just updated the time period too the 80's and then go back too The Old Country.
The fans wanted 70s Vegas.
Vávra is Boss! 😎
Is Daniel in twitter? Cant find him
Yes, he is there. @ DanielVavra
He has almost 60k readers
x.com/DanielVavra
How hard did you look? His handle is @DanielVavra
yes he is @DanielVavra
He is also active on Facebook, but unless you are interested in his ramblings regarding Czech politics, I recommend enjoying his games instead.
Niccce, I like this guy.
Italians aren't the only mobster in the world so get you're facts right John gotti would even say the same thing if he was still here. Read you're facts before you judge a book by its cover.
Nothing will ever be close to Mafia 1.
why is daniel vavra no longer a member of the studio? he is someone very important for the mafia franchise
its a long story, but look up the history of the mafia 2 development phase. 2003-2009
creative differences I think, the 40s era of Mafia 2 was written by Daniel Vavrva but thr 50s had to be rewritten, so with that some ideas got removed like the game having 4 or 5 different endings
Because Daniel work for 2 years on his version of Mafia 3, but producers cancel it. Then he left and funded Warhorse Studios and made Kingdom Come Deliverance.
@@FordzyS Incorrect. He left the studio during Mafia 2 development. He had already some story of Mafia 3 but nothing of that never came to development. The released Mafia 3 game and even the 2nd half of Mafia 2 were completely out of Daniel's job. He had been working on completely different stories for Mafia 2 and 3.
Yo i know it was like a year ago but how do you launch mafia rise and fall every time i press mafia it just get me to the main game not the mod and yes i did install it
Dane, jsi skvelej.
hoši fajn pokec, ale titulky přes půl obrazu jsou úlet :D
He left before Mafia 2 because the series was starting to get worse. Best Mafia is still first one and we still can feel his touch by missions structure and variety.
He wrote half of Mafia 2
Not really to be honest
@@MafiaGameVideos Doesn't matter. The studio absolutely butchered it and the story is nonsense. Not many videogames have that many plotholes as Mafia II due to massive cuts of content. This is not what he wrote.
@@assassin8636 Oh yeah, first one is the best. Not just in the context of time of release, in many aspects it beats all other three games even without taking the context into account. Which is so sad for the franchise, really.
@@jakub0008 Red Dead Redemption 2 has more cut content. Every video game has cut content.
Personally idc what ANYONE has to say!! MAFIA 3 WAS THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE MAFIA GAMES 😝💯 YES BETTER THAN 1 AND 2!
Why is he so salty about the sequels to his story? He could've prevented it very easily; not sign the rights to the franchise over to someone else.
That’s what the creator of Witcher would say now, he got scammed out of the rights and paid next to nothing
He never own Mafia franchise.
Vávra never owned Mafia in the first place
He just worked for the studio, he never actually owned it, but he always speaks like it is only his. 😀
@@Pidalin ye but he created that game. Mafia 3 is good example that u can officialy own what u want but if u dont have right ppl, just the name is not enough .... and its happened when Daniel left and Mafia 3 became crap
mafia 4? 😮
Trojka byla hrozná tam byly pořád stejný úkoly a nemohli jsme zažít to co ve dvojce a nebo v jedničce.
Vávra by mal odkúpiť značku "Mafia" späť. Patrí to "jemu"
i hope they wont ruin this one
Na Mafii od Vávry byl vždy dobrý model řízení vozů a dobrý model střelby to si myslím je základ když ty auta budou jezdit jak nfs tak to nikoho bavit nebude to samí střelba. Další je chytlavý příběh. Dnešní hry jdou cestou hra pro všechny a to nemůže být nikdy dobrý.
V titulku je napsáno, že jde o reakci na novou Mafii, přitom je to střižené tak, že první polovinu Vávra mluví o vývoji KCD2. Když něco děláš, tak to dělej pořádně!
Hosting a Mafia creator by Mafia fans that don't know what the fans want? that's just straight out stupid.
I had asked why Daniel is controversial but the video was deleted and now it was posted again so I ask again. What did he do? 😅
He talka about politics a lot. Freedom of speech, cancel culture.
He is against woke and he wants absolute freedom of speach and stuff like that, that's enough to be canceled. He can be prick sometimes, but I agree with him with freedom of speech, because it's really getting worse in Europe. Time of 100% freedom of speach ended after like 2010, even humor is censored, dark humor is already almost illegal.
@@Pidalinlol, you sound paranoid. It’s pretty clear he stands with JK Rowling despite her transphobic comments. Don’t pretend freedom of speech is a risk just because people are starting to fight against transphobia.
mostly he just talks bullshit and acts as if he knows about everything, when in actualty he only knows about game development (but in that regard, his opinion is mostly that any game that isn't developed by him is bad)
@@MrRys "but in that regard, his opinion is mostly that any game that isn't developed by him is bad)" and sadly that is true more often than not
Parabéns parabéns parabéns
Mafia 3 s gunplay is undeniably satisfying . The weaponry and freedom of choice . People make the same dumb incorrect statements about mafia 3. Its is about the mob, u get to divide it up etc. U r the boss, its about takeover revenge. Maybe they should of called it mafia:mob wars .
Mafia 3 is undeniably repetitive and generic. Just another 3rd person coverbased shooter
To those with low IQs yes
@Don_Ramiro Yes, but unlike the previous mafia game... mafia, 3 feels unstoppable. lincoln gameplay is really good. It feels like another punisher game combine with max payne 3
@@amiramri3032 Like I said, generic and repetitive. And that's considering like it was a "independent" game. By independent, I mean if it didn't belong to any franchise, but it supposedly was a Mafia game, so it's gameplay being, in your own words, like literally two different games, it's simply insulting
@@Don_Ramiroit’s actually very stealth oriented.
🙌
I like this video
Eu quero muito participar fã ventos projetos parabéns fimes máfia ❤ 🎉❤❤ eu quero muito participar . So
Well to be fair with mafia 3, no one has MADE the AI for mafia 3 so they still have yet to do that really, as dear god was the AI stupid in that game lol
as its rigged up like the AI from the Fistful of Yen Parody of enter the dragon, and he's right, who's going to be writing it, and personally I kinda hate more what they did in the Remake, more than what they did with Mafia 3, like theirs alot of little things they shouldnt have changed, and left in, and it felt like they were trying to write out the original mafia 1, and I'd be curious is that the old guard that left that did that, or the new
as that alone will tell me if its worth paying attention to
He´s still salty. His comments about the Mafia Remake were really disrespectful - tbh I even prefer the remake
Low quality taste buds you got there
Vavra left on his own because 2K curtailed his creative freedom, and the fact that you still support the Mafia franchise despite it being watered down to a generic shooter only means you have no idea what you’re talking about
The story to Mafia was perverted for no reason at all with the remake and replacing the gameplay with Mafia 3 gameplay is utterly disgusting
@@latinobunny9882 The story of Mafia 3 was awesome. Gameplay sure sucked, but they learned and moved on. The DLC were great
@@bagwellross5961some shit ass civil rights story about brown ppl shooting bad white ppl, wow, so compelling
Take-Two/2K are salty and did him dirty. The Mafia Remake disrespected his original creation by changing the words of Intermezzo 1 and the epilogue, it's not the same meaning behind the story that he wanted to portray.
@@latinobunny9882did you actually play through the story or did you skim through it?
No nevím, Sicilíe a ta doba nic moc.. Raději bych viděl rozšížení příběhu M2, tedy prequel M3..
Fans only care about good graphics and gameplay be damned. Just look the at DE. Overwhelmingly positive reception with the best graphics in the series but the most uninspiring gameplay in the series.
That's not true, that's what studios believe, but most of people don't care about graphics at all, look at how many people still play WoW and such old games. Gameplay is much more important and you can also play old games with high FPS.
everyone is afraid that "old country" will be full of gays and blacks
don't tell me otherwise
we saw what modern gaming industry is like
He seems like a difficult character to be honest, but a lot of creative people are like that. I don't find it ridiculous that you can like something that someone made that you dislike. I disagree with him on Rowling and HP there.
Dane děkuji ti za to jaký jsi♥️♥️♥️
Are you guys forgetting the american gangster he was black was in the mob and lead the mob lol and you say mafia 3 incorrect you all failed mafia 3 by not knowing this. Quit putting hangar 13 down the game was amazing so was the dlc way better then mafia lol that game was not a real mob game...
true and actually all of mafia was black because scicilians are orignaliy one of black peoples. so this racist should get educated
They forget about Joe Gallo and other crime bosses who worked with blacks and had them in their families. No they weren't like made men but they sometimes gave them their our factions and neighborhoods to run.
This dude for real defending JK Rowling???
Are you asking this question for real?

Moderátoři jsou pěkní srabi teda
Prostě pokud budou ve hře koně a fyzika nebude počítat teplotu kopit a její vliv na přilnavost k terénu, tak to není Mafia. Miloval jsem všechny Mafie, i dvojku, trojku i remake, všechny jsem si parádně užil a může se nad tím vztekat, kdo chce a jak chce.

no lgbt shi ok
Daniel Vavra sounds like one of the few developers out there who aren't afraid to call out a game or a studio when they make a game in a beloved franchise, and it feels like it doesn't belong, as if they just stamped the franchise's name on a product to sell, but the soul isn't there. Mafia 3 is a good example of it, it doesn't feel like a game from the Mafia series, it feels like a generic sandbox GTA style game, but they had the Mafia IP laying around so they just called it Mafia 3 to hype it up.
Real gamers wouldn't give a shit what this guy says!!! Hold that!!!
yeah I cant wait for December to know more about this prequel
WHY CANT HE JUST WORK ON THE GAMES AGAIN🥲
He has a lot of power now. He can create his own Mafia series without 2K Games meddling.
