This was one of my favourite games and having finished it earlier, I was, like many here a little surprised, if not downright disappointed at the ending. It's pretty obvious on reflection that the dev just got fed up with it and wanted it done. Though I was a little pissed off, I began to replay some of the scenes in my mind and began to think that maybe he's played it for comedic effect... So I Re-played this update and I'm surprised I didn't get the obvious comedy earlier. For example.. Your'e a hardened thug who's off to kidnap some victim/s.. Your vehicle of choice? An open top pickup ... Do you, A, have them sit up front with you.. Or B, let them ride in the back where they can signal any and all passing traffic... Further, In a shootout, it's quite the done thing to put two wooden crates between you and heavily armed police officers.. Wooden crates being a sure fire method of stopping any calibre of weapon. In fact they're so indestructible, it's quite safe not to cower behind them but to raise your head and have a convo with your partner in crime, the police would never take a headshot of two kidnappers because that would surely be unsportsmanlike. (On this note, the best way to hide "Top Secret" info or goods is to store it in crates clearly marked "Top Secret.")
But, they really needn't have worried in any case, as these police are of the keystone cops variety, for they also firmly believe that any rear exit to a building is just not worthwhile investigating, nor is securing the area to prevent accidental harm.
Also please note, if you intend to kidnap someone.. it is entirely unnecessary to leave them with a guard, or at the very least in a locked room. Especially if that room can be easily accessed by another entrance... I am not perplexed in the least as to why having being left alone the two "victims" didn't just leave themselves through the unlocked door.. They are really good sports, and I suppose they wanted to make their son/brother feel good and consequently waited for his arrival.. Lord knows, the cops weren't going to rescue them.. I like to imagine that one of the kidnapped went of to get a chippy and a hot drink, whilst they were waiting..
Other than the above, the dialogue is hilarious, being British I read most of it in different British regional accents.. Derek was from the Valleys etc etc.. I'm sure that any other Country would have equal amounts of fun using their local accents...
This by far, is the largest comment I've made on a game to date.. But until now I've never felt moved enough to defend a
Dev, I'm convinced he will really appreciate my support and be grateful that someone appreciated his comedic talent.
I'm equally sure, that as he deposits his latest patreon earnings into Bankke tvarich Moscovitch or wherever, that a small smile will cross his face. I know that whenever I see this Dev posting again with any game I will wet myself.
