lol the guy defending Vavra got banned

Yeah the reasons they give for banning people are hillarious. These mods must be the least self-aware people in the world lol.

Also it seems not everyone on that thread is a batshit crazy cult thrall. A lot of people are either defending Vavra or at least saying the prattle about muh nazism is retarded.

I would REALLY love to know if the dorrito outlets aren't writing about KCD because they don't need flamewars about Hitler in their comments or just bc Warhorse didn't pay them.

This kind of shit keeps bugging me to no no end. The SNES was not capable of such graphics. I know it's a joke, I know it's intended, but FFS does that piss me off !!!

Goddamn ! I'm angry for the week now !

Yeah, gotta say I was expecting it to be worse too. At least they mostly seem to agree that having black people in a game like this is ridiculous, at least from the posts I've read.

That linked thread is actually hilarious.

And it's no longer an enigma to me why good people have mostly left the game industry. Vavra is probably one of the last dinosaurs. The future of gaming will be shaped by pink haired javascript developers and art projects about chamber pots. I should better install a few sims and leave the scene for good.

I mean, even if I just said the game will suck. But that he will have to put up with that crap for the little bit of realism that he pushed through in KCD, is making me cringe.

I just skimmed this material but saw the discussion almost turn into a mania that posing with flags that satirically resembles a Nazi flag practically makes you a Nazi.

Which is a most amazing thing to say, because this means stabbing someone with a rubber knife is also practically making you a murderer.

....and then they got banned

I admire Your Majesty's resilience though

I think I sold quite a lot of people over there on ELEX. Now I'm trying to do the same for Kingdom Come but it's proving difficult as literally every thread is derailed by people who see it as their plight to inform others on the 'problematic and toxic' studio founder, even in threads created to discuss trailers or gameplay.

"Oh yeah that armour system looks pretty cool, but did you know this game was created by a nazi?"

Which is then followed by a 100 post discussion about definitions of nazism, Trump tweets and Gamergate posts. I myself do not agree with Vavra's politics but who the fuck cares man.

Exactly. I disagree with a lot of Vavra's political views but he's still someone I'd like to go out for a beer with.

Imagine going for a beer with a SJW. You would have to spend half the night listening to their virtue signalling.

I've been following Vavra FB and Twitter for years and I don't remember the last time I disagreed with him. We see politics almost exactly the same. Plus his comments are hillarious.

Tho maybe it's not that shocking in this day and age when everything is boiled down to basically being either a SJW or an anti-SJW.

I am really curious what that "Kingdom Come policy" the mods posted about will be like. Shinobi must be in cognitive dissonance hell, he wanted a place to talk about videogames and it turned into Witchhunt Central. I know he is looking forward to Kingdom Come himself, maybe they will make it a rule that threads about the game and its mechanics should not get derailed..at least something.

When it comes to politics, Vávra is classical liberal. As in, small government involvement in people's lives, low taxes, as much freedom as possible. I agree with that, personally. Of course, he did retweet some dumb shit, but so what. It's fucking twitter.

I vaguely remember a time when you could read a thread in a forum about games without it being about how SJW or anti-SJW a game is.

Yeah... I miss that time.

I don't know anything about his political views and can't pretend that I do. He is educated and wise enough, from what I've read from him, to have his own views, without falling into any particular category or camp.

There is no reason to worry about serious and realistic games becoming extinct - as long as the audience is there, the supply will be there. Personally, I am ready to spend 4-5 times as much on games that treat historical reality seriously and can even be called vehicles for learning, or sparking an interest to learn, about a particular time period. Instead of one such game a year, I'd buy 4 or 5, if anyone was making and releasing them (that's coming from a guy who spent over 100 euro on War In The East/War In The West last year). So if anything, the market is underdeveloped.

cvv Apologies for treating you like a dumb-ass with regards to the English/Czech questions. Your questions were reasonable given a Czech dev team, I shouldn't have taken Mr. Community Manager literally.

There is nothing extremist about him, he's just very pro GamerGate and very anti-SJW. Which is literally Hitler for the SJWs, obviously.

I think normally he is a pretty standard libertarian, hating both conservatards and libruls equally. Just like me :smug:

I spent a bit of time today reading up on the KCD thread on the retardera forum:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/se...eators-kingdom-come-deliverance.17250/page-17

I am gonna need mental enema to wipe off the stupidity.


I lasted 3 posts, until this beauty:

Probably gonna get the game knowing Vavra's views. Why? Because I love the idea of a non-fantasy medieval RPG and I just want to play it. Will wait for reviews/impressions, though.

How can I live with myself? By being an active member of the Young Socialists (giving talks, information stands, etc.), taking part in anti-nazi demonstrations and doing other stuff like this IRL.

That was actually A LOT less retarded that I expected, there were a number of post from pretty objective and reasonable perspectives.

Is that that NeoGAF splinter forum? People who ran away from lack of political correctness? They lasted whole two pages? Wow.

You know what foreign forums are saying about RPGCodex posters when they appear on theirs forum. He's from RPGCodex. Don't get yourself banned because of him. Be tolerant and supportive.


This is an example. The male is typical RPGCodex poster. These females are smarter people on other forums.

Elex is as bad as Gothic 3, PB really needs to fuck off with their open world bullshit and focus on a more small but carefully crafted world.
