Not a very loved game, but god damn that editing was great.

As much as I like the game the gameplay is extremely simple. It's the two protagonists and their fucked up story that kept me playing.
-
Preferred the rendered trailers overall. It's pretty sad that they went from mediocre the first time round to complete waste of resources in the second game.
-
I bought the first one a couple weeks ago. Still manages to keep me playing. The second one was a bit off the path of the first one, but I still liked it
-
i still believe all of that art style, story, editing, color and characters etc would have made a pretty badass MOVIE, not a game...
-
Well they basically got all their ideas from Heat and other movies like that. They just weren't willing to put as much effort into the gameplay for some reason. Interactive elements or just plain non-shooter gameplay would have made it a lot better. That and more detailed mechanics relating to combat. Not just SHOOT ALL THE THINGS every time.
-
I just found it hilarious how many people they killed.
-
Portishead are great. I remember this song in the Last Light trailer.
-
And they aren't making feature films because...?
-
They're game developers for one, but there is a film coming out that's not going to be anything like this. Primarily because they cast Jamie Lee Fox as Lynch and are probably gonna tone it down to hell.
-
The characters, story, concept and the general style and feel of the Kane & Lynch games has always been, in my opinion, utterly magnificent - probably among my top 5 favourite gaming universes.
I love the characters of Kane & Lynch and how utterly unloveable and unloved they are, and the Mann-inspired gunfights they engage in whilst wearing crisp, pressed suits and shouting unprintable obscenities.
It's such a shame that the rest of these games are dog meat.
-
It also had great graphics/models, scenarios, a lot of the street level design, etc.
I have no idea why people thought the first was better because seriously everything was improved in this one.
-
the gameplay was more interesting...you had to do more stuff and was more dynamic.
The second one was to simple in that aspect.
-
Agreed. Not only by shooting, but just by it's visuals in general. Trust me, I fucking love the first one and its Heat type theme... but Dog Days reeeallly steps it up on gameplay/graphical improvement. Multiplayer was fucking awesome too.
-
Both Kane and Lynch, including the story of the first game are the most criminally (lol) underated things i have EVER seen, Kane & Lynch as characters are very well done and the story is excellent.
This may be coming from a Fan of 1 + 2 (Not so much 2) and a player of the online since 07 but i still think it would of made a better movie, not a game.
-
Gameplay was better in the first because you actually did shit. Not just kill everyone. That and the story was present. Besides those factors the second hit the atmosphere on the dot so perfectly.
Even though I hated the second gameplay-wise and felt like I wasted my money, a thousand cuts was one of the best parts of a game I may have ever played.
-
The story was worse in the first what do you mean, the second one's sounded so much more real.
Edited:
It was but it was also a lot sillier, the boss fight was a giant bulldozer.
-
Lynch kills daughter of some dude, has to kill everyone and get on plane for most abrupt ending ever. It was stupid. I'd take a slightly sillier story over the most basic stupidest one ever.
-
The story was pretty shitty, but co-op was fun, and the fragile alliance mode was really fun as well. Nothing beats killing your allies for their cash, only to have them respawn as cops and shoot you down.
-
I loved the CGI cutscenes in the K&L games. Honestly though if it had been a movie it would've been 10x better.
-
K&L would have been a fantastic movie, gritty as fuck. You could see that from the rendered trailers.
The only reason I played through the second one was for the story.
-
I remember first time I saw that scene, my volume was up way high.
Didn't regret it
-
KL2 would have been pretty good I think but the shaky cam gimmick ruined it.
-
K&L2:
After a traumatic experience with Lynch in the first game, Kane is forced to run a smuggling job with him. After arriving in Shanghai Lynch leads him on a supposedly quick errand that results in the death of daughter of a businessman, with strong ties to both the police and the street gangs. After finally meeting with their employer and his crew they realize they are the ones the man is after and turn on them. On the run from them, the police, and everyone else they are tortured, Lynch loses the life he tried to build there, and they barely escape with their lives on a commercial airplane.
Wow you know that that sounds a lot more real (as in an actual story) than
7 world controlling crime bosses
breaking through a prison in a truck the size of a multi-story building
leading an army in the jungle to save Kane's daughter
Now that was a stupid story.

Self advertizing here, but I usually don't get to show this to many people... especially on Facepunch. lol
