ARS: Do games need to be fun to be successful? Think about it: we give films the freedom to depress us even though we still enjoy the movie on many levels. When it comes to games, I'm not sure we extend ourselves the same courtesy. Kane and Lynch 2 features unlikable men doing things I don't agree with, in a place I don't want to be. As I fought wave after wave of thugs and law enforcement, my main thought was simply that it would be better if both Kane and Lynch took bullets to the head. I didn't want them to win, and I certainly didn't want to be them.
It also doesn't help that the game's presentation rubs your nose in the ugliness of its world. That could have been on purpose, as some sort of statement, but the end result was a feeling of claustrophobia and discomfort. The game feels like it doesn't want to be played, and tests you by asking how long you'll endure it.
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.
James writes - "It may be old, it may be rather brutal and gritty, but seeing as Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days no longer costs a penny, shouldn’t you at least grab it and make the most of the Games With Gold scheme?"
Neil writes "This time last month I was waxing lyrical about how good it was to see the likes of Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed III, Dragon Age: Origins and a new game, SpeedRunners, be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners as part of the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for June 2017.
Now though we’re on the verge of being treated to even more free titles, but unfortunately the calibre of game given away with July’s Games With Gold scheme doesn’t quite match up to the month before it ."
Worst thing is the new game seems too similar to the last new game, need some variety!
It's not going to be top tier every month. They have been pretty good lately. The sine curve was bound to hit the bottom at some point.
Playing as an ugly half bald dude ain't my bag baby yeah!
I dont play games because the beauty of the characters. WTF?
I'll be playing this game as soon as it drops in price on steam. I noticed the PC version is very playable on my laptop, and looks much better than the PS3 one.
the Ugg is in the eye of the beholder. I'd much rather look like Kane in this game than any emo haired tween or macho wrestling douche from any other popular videogame.
Greyed out DLC items in the menu for your brand new game... Thats ugly.
