beta males

action games with no faggy collectibles or audio logs = fun as fuck

also you actually get to play as fucked up criminals

no moral bullshit to cloud it. genuinely bad dudes

really good games go ahead and hang yourselves

>b-but the reviews said

fuck outta my face you metacritic cock slurping faggots

>>378713604
thank you

>>378713447
I actually loved the second one. First one wasnt bad either. But we're definitely the minority here.

>>378713331
The first 1 was pretty forgettable but the 2nd was fucking awesome the style and way the camera work was done the pacing everything was top notch gritty as fuck. Its one of my favorite games of all time.

IO said they take place in the Hitman universe. Which is fucked up, since the timeline doesn't make a damn lick of sense. All we know is the first game takes place a week before Swing King gets fucked, and that the ending of Blood Money turns 47 into an international superstar.

And Hitman is getting canned right? No K&L, no 47.

>>378713965
The only thing I wanted changed about 2 was I wanted Lynch to be angrier after his wife/girlfriend was killed. She was bled to death in front of him and he let it go pretty quickly I think.

>>378713331
That is because second one sucked so hard your mom balls went flying

Should have let me talk to them

>F O U R
>H O U R S

>>378713924
first is underrated but definitely not a masterpiece.

second is a fucking masterpiece. really good game.

my only regret is that i listened to the reviews and didn't play them till the online was already dead

>>378713965
same. kane & lynch 2 is what third person shooters should strive to be.

what i love most is how straight forward it is. no collectibles or audio logs. no text files. no pretentious bullshit.

just gunplay and crazy situations. the game escalates from start to finish

>>378714068
Hitman should have been canned a long time ago that franchise is fuckin stupid and done to death the story line if you even bother to look into it is full retard shit and the gameplay is literally the same shit over and over again. Its dead because no one wants it.

>>378714238
what the fuck

you're the one dude that prefers dead men over dog days

lol

>>378714138
he's literally a textbook psychopath

he killed his first wife. it's heavily implied., anyways

I really liked that they didn't really try to make you sympathize with them being complete assholes. They're just straight up unabashed shitty people and it's really refreshing

>>378714486
That's true, I guess that I wanted him to be angrier because I personally was angry about it.
I remember I splitscreened the campaign of K&L 1 with my dad, I played Lynch, and during bank mission I was shooting at cops and I remember my dad asking me why I was shooting civillians, I looked on his screen and saw that the cops I killed on my screen were actually civilians on his, Lynch was going nuts and saw all people as cops. I was blown away that they would think to implement something like that, really top notch work I've never seen another game do something interesting like that. It's a shame the series is canned.

>>378714903
now i'm just incredibly angry that i have nobody to play co-op with to experience that

>>378714903
Well, Dead Space 3 did that kind of scene too, which is pretty cool
Hmm, a pattern
>Kane and Isaac is the sober, depressed one that isn't hallucinating
>Lynch and Carver is going crazy and seeing things

>>378715073
lynch is probably my favorite vidya character of all time

I'm actually sad as fuck about io interactive closing. i really want a kane & lynch 3. add melee combat to the dog days formula and you got the perfect game.

could pull a max payne 3 and make them old

Co-op games that fuck with you are crisp.

This and DS3 were top notch.
For reference Kestral is holding the other players PDA here

>>378713331
I remember playing and beating the second one years ago.
It was a really interesting game.
Apparently the sluggish movement, heavy gun recoil, mosaic censoring and handheld/security camera aesthetic was done to create a nauseating effect and to criticize violence in games.

>>378715636
you sure? i thought it was commentary on how japanese porn is censored for no reason

>>378715073
>>378715517
I've only played about 10 minutes of DS3, what does it do to fuck with you?

Could you imagine the sjw shitstorm with a new kane an lynch game? I remember lynch shooting ladies and throwing one during the first game

>>378716132
oh and you know they'd up the violence

i just really wish this would've become a long series

i unironically have both games on my 3x3. it's like they're made for me. i just love the concept of stripping away all that extra bullshit games love to force down your throat

audio logs text logs lore blurbs codex entries blah blah blah

just give me a violent action game that ramps up in intensity from start to finish. no scouring every corner for secret items and garbage like that

>>378716363
Kinda reminds me of The Getaway.

I really liked the second one. Same we won't get another. Also wish manhunt would get a sequel but that will likely never happen as well.

id prefer if they would fix the first two games before even thinking about a 3rd

>>378716465
holy fuck. same here. i love manhunt. manhunt 2 was extremely underrated

too bad R* is pussy as fuck now

manhunt 2 getting censored like that killed the series

i don't know why games get treated differently than R rated movies

>>378716462
i need to play that game

i totally forgot it existed

>>378713447
First one is ok. Second one is amazing.

Kane and Lynch 2 has some of the best atmosphere in any game every made. All gangsters have such an authentic, low life scum feel. The cheap DV light bloom/screen tearing/artifacting sells it so well

People hate this genuinely interesting game over fucking nitpicks and the publisher making Jeff gerstman lose his job over the first one

Because politicians are fucking boomers, and since they and they're voter base don't understand them it helps to make a bitchfit so it looks like they're doing something other than fucking us over.

are you surprised? /v/ sucks metacritic cock. there's like 5 exceptions and only oldfags love new vegas stalker etc. etc.

the newfags care only about e-celebs and metacritic scores

>>378715980
Depends on the level, but usually Carver gets reduced to a gibbering retard in the eyes of Isaac while they're being attacked or something bad gonna blow up, while in Carver's perspective he just got fucked over by a million spoopy things

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or just an odd conclusion you came to.

>>378717330
was a joke

honestly surprised at what he said though

i just thought it was commentary on asian culture in general. they do censor a lot of stuff including faces

also i dont see how the movement and aiming is sluggish but whatever. your mileage may vary.

>>378717621
Probably because typical shooters feel like they have less weight IMO.
I could be misremembering since I haven't played the game in over five years or so.
But I recall the player character moving in a tanky fashion.
He could sprint and stuff iirc, but his manner of moving had no elegance to it, it really helped ground the game for me.

I have no idea why there are some autists who like this game or look back on it fondly.
I got it new day one and was horribly disappointed.
Gertsmann, for as big of a cunt as he is, told the fucking truth and was still generous with the final tally.
Game is at best a 5

>>378717240
>using ellipses when you type.
You spineless faggot.

>>378717925
yeah no

gerstman's main complaint was

>like O M G they totally cuss wàaaaay too much it REALLY offends me and its REALLY REALLY immature. just such a bad game and it's also short! like how bad is that! <3<3

Damn shame we will never get a third game or ultra violent kane and lynch movie ala dredd or john wick

What are some other games that provide the same linear rogue-like atmosphere like kane and lynch?

max payne just doesn't feel right

>>378713331
If it would be anything like KL2 then I'm happy with it. No need to butcher the brand any more.

KL1 was fantastic, KL2 was dogshit.

I wish the the heist length in the multiplayer was longer, more like payday.

I loved the concept of fucking over people but the missions were so short the sting of betrayal was never real.

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea. Their studio must have been a pool of vomit during development

>>378716132
The SJW boogeyman is not why the there will not be a new Kane and Lynch game. There are no more games because the first one did not do that well and second one flopped hard.

I recently played through these games and agree with most things said ITT, they were unique games with a soul and a style you rarely see out of the west nowadays.

My one complain about the series would be how in the 2nd one they basically gave up beefing up their characters any further. They basically said "Okay the players know these guys are psychopaths already so let's just have them shoot stuff." All the intrigue and illuminati elements from the elements basically disappeared in favor of a simple "Big Trouble in Little China" escape story. I mean I don't even remember them arguing in Dog Days, or Lynch having any psychotic episodes. The game play was streamlined without feeling dumbed down though, plus yes the atmosphere and style was top notch.

Oh yeah, and Dog days had literally no ending. They got on a plane and that was that. Did they run out of money or something?

>>378713331
I like first K&L a lot more than second one. Don't understand how people call it forgettable. I can agree that shooting sucks a bit, but missions, plot, characters and dialogues make up for that. Also those cool near death experience flashbacks, like that idea a lot, very atmospheric and expands the plot, which was really interesting to unravel. And hand-to-hand combat, performed by Kane with his push dagger was brutal as fuck.

wish we could get some mp going. shit was fun while it lasted

I remembering playing the second one (?) with a friend in co-op

We got stuck at a part in a junkyard with a giant dumptruck or something, I don't remember what the issue was. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Was that part actually hard, or maybe hard in co-op or something?

>>378719565
>the sting of betrayal was never real
Well, maybe you've been playing it wrong. I played k&l2 with my friend using microphone. There were several occasions when he make it with 4 million dollars, while the rest of the team were dead. I never fucking ever had such luck, probably because I am a quite shitty traitor. So

Not as rogue like but Binary Domain has a pretty good real time strategy atmosphere

>>378714387
If this game came out now everyone would love shit came out at the wrong time

>>378713873
I like the way you judge a game for the optional trivial bullshit it doesn't have.

While the style and tone of the game was magical, the gunplay super linear campaign was incredibly lacklustre on a variety of levels.
Wait behind cover to whack a mole gameplay, poor visibility (while i might consider the tradeoff okay for this one on the art department with camera effects, it still makes the game annoying to play), samey weapons throughout, shoot the explosive barrels but you don't even have to shoot them anymore robbing you of even more gameplay, mindless repetitive hordes of enemies that are pretty much constantly the same, coversystem and movement that works worse than the first gears of war.

Haven't tried the multi, wich tried something really interesting. But the singleplayer campaign was drab gameplay 101.

Of all games i'd actually liked to see some morality/choice system added to this one. And i don't mean binary gud/bad, but choices that test the needs, relationship, sanity and well-being of Kane and Lynch.

The campaign had a bad case of the setting, style and characters were too good for the actual game and deserved better.
