Well, you can let a shield go free... Can't you?

[parker]

Also it makes more sense to stick your gun in the face of some terrified civilian and use him for a shield instead of the guy who was just coming at you with a gun and probably has some kind of training.

also just realized my post was pretty poorly worded; i meant there's no reason not to shoot your human shield if they happen to be alive after an encounter, because if you let them go they're just going to shoot you since there's no chance of them being an unarmed person

It seems to be, since Kane's still concerned with providing for his daughter.

But, in that ending, Lynch hates Kane for turning his back on the other guys.

Didn't we have this discussion before?

[JoeX111]

Edit:

Shit, nevermind, someone already posted the Lynch trailer.

[parker]

Time heals all wounds

I think it's more believable that Lynch would get over being left behind for the opportunity to make money than Kane not eating his own gun after his daughter dies

i got the feeling Lynch and whichever henchman was still around would not have survived on their own, considering they kind of barely scrape through with Kane's help

i guess not though!

also i've seen like eight thousand trailers and vignettes and whatever pop up for this game on my youtube feed and i definitely haven't bothered to watch them all

Aw shucks I was all hyped for the demo but I can't stand how this actually plays.

[Dracko]

I've seen that sort of comment around online, and I'm not sure where it's coming from.

But then again, I was one of those who felt the first game played well enough, and that this is a definite improvement.

What ways does it strike you badly?

The controls are kind of sluggish and the cover system is more awkward than it needs to be but more importantly I'm just not feeling the whole endless waves of disposable grunts type of experience.

Which doesn't make immediate sense because I'm fine with similar waves of enemies in Halo or Gears and I put up with GTA4's drunk-ass controls for most of the game but this is a game focused on shooting dudes where I find the shooting of dudes to be frustrating and annoying.


I can't speak for the rest of the internet of course, for all I know they saw a man in his briefs and instantly dismissed it for being homo.

[Ghost Dinosaur]

I was gonna play the demo this morning but my roommate is asleep on the couch so I probably won't get to try it until Sunday. Do you press a button to take cover, yet?

[CubaLibre]

Yes.

In K&L1, the cover was useless, the squad stuff was useless, the movement was skatey and the shooting was chaotic and awesome.

In K&L2, the cover is adequate, the squad stuff is gone, the movement is still skatey and the shooting is still chaotic and awesome.

I'm trying the PC demo and for some reason there seems to be this incredible mouse-delay while in game. Not just while playing either but while browsing the menus too. Other then that the game runs fine though but this small problem makes the game very frustrating to play. I actually had this very same problem with the Just Cause 2 demo and I just have no idea what could be causing it. Anyone else ever experience something similar?

It's called mouse smoothing. Borderlands had the same problem. Shitty console > PC ports (most of them) don't have a menu option to turn it off, but usually you can go into a config file somewhere and change the value to false to turn it off.

Heh, I always turn mouse smoothing on, because otherwise it doesn't feel right to me. Guess that's what happens when you learn FPS from consoles.

[Dracko]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of spinning around with no concern for momentum these days.

DooM and Quake still feel perfect on PC.

So I went to my local comic book shop today looking for one of Ed Brubaker's Criminal graphic novels, which they didn't have, so I picked up the first Kane and Lynch comic instead. My expectations were pretty much zero, and it still sucked. Like the worst kind of fan fiction.

Plot: Kane and Lynch are in Venezuela after killing The 7. Kane is trying to make peace with his daughter. She runs away. Meanwhile, the pair get attacked. There's a price on their heads! The end.

Why are they being hunted, Kane?

"There's a goddamn scorched earth contract out on us! In the event they all get taken down, a termination protocol kicks in! Our data and a shit-load of money gets dumped on the circuit and it's a free for all. Anyone with a gun and a pulse gets to play!"

Other great lines include:

"It's the global recession. People are just doing what they gotta do to get by"--when talking about the people TRYING TO KILL THEM.

"Time to die, motherfucker! You're going to make me a rich man!"
"You got that half right!" BANG BANG.

"They killed her! I had her blood and brains on me!"
"Hey! If Lynch hadn't stepped up, you'd be dead in a ditch next to your mother!"

I could go on, but, eh. I don't think anyone expected this to be good. The art looks like a poor man's Eduardo Risso, If Ben Templesmith had drawn the whole thing I could probably overlook the third grade writing, but he's only done the (admittedly cool) cover. There's also full page ads for NBC's The Event on every other page and it's kind of irritating. So, skip this.

[Dracko]

It does sound hilariously awful. Still amazing to me DC still put up with this shit, honestly. If they're not even trying, how do they expect to sell in the first place?

Though the high concept premise of a "scorched earth" revenge policy doesn't sound too bad in itself.

Well if the game turns out shitty at least we got all these trailers out of it

They should get the guy who makes the trailers, to make the game.

Parker first time through I gotta play with my buddy but after that you and me should do this thing.

[oh my god immaculate]

very few games hold up past 5 hours so I count this as a big plus

[Cossix]

If they've actually cut out all the filler nonsense that gets put in these games so that reviewers can not bitch about the cost/hour, then this is really great news.

[RobotRocker]

The review we have been waiting for is here

Kinda strange since Jeff seemed to like the demo in the quick look but I guess the full game didn't seem to capitalise on the momentum since its so short.

[Dracko]

"astoundingly brief"

That old chestnut.
