Nothing memorable? You already forgot the scene they get carved up and run naked around Shanghai? Never found such kind of scene in any game ever. Somehow I get the impression that you didn´t even play it to this point, because at least this scene will stay in peoples heads for a while, for better or worse.Kenny Doyle said:
I also thought that Yahtzee WILL rip it apart...he didn´t...what a shame.
After hearing how bad the original was it's worrying how truly awful the second one seems to be. Didn't even know there was enough of a fan base to justify it and they are making a movie last I heard, bad thing when the worst games out there are getting movies and good games just get left on the shelves as they aren't shooty boom fests, but yeah crap game, pro video ^^
I think I've figured it out. Duke nukem was so good, it jumped backwards in time and landed in Yahtzees lap. Then magically disapeared making Yahtzee it's prophet for the amazingness to come.
I jest. It'll probably be good but I'll get a lot of games before I get the duke. Mostly cos I was a wolfenstein/ Doom player when I was young and I never really played the duke.
I do often wonder how bad games sell. Marketing only does so much in the gaming industry, with most games sales dependent on word of mouth and pre releases in the same genre. If the nfirst one was so succesful (and I dear hope to god it wasn't) how can it exist today as a sequel. Multiplayer sounds cool though, but that's not the basis on which to get a game on in my book.

This website appears to be add free. I'm sure yahtzee will be fine. Besides, he's too popular to get fired.Marmooset said:
That was the most brutal review I've seen in awhile. I actually enjoyed KL1, in the same way one might enjoy a crappy action movie. I just wish they built in more army commands from Freedom Fighters (the game that preceded KL1 in gameplay/engine). If you haven't played Freedom Fighters, it would be hard to retro game it, but for the time it was very fun and kind of like Pikmin meets Gears of War set in Red Dawn. KL1 was set up to be like that, too, but set as Pikmin meets Gears of War set in the movie Heat. Unfortunately, the cover system was broken and you only got to control 1 dude each when you played KL1 co-op. Near the end, you got a few more people, but they rarely survived very long and you couldn't recruit additionals throughout the level like you could in Freedom Fighters (@resistance member spawn points, regenerating your squad back up to the maximum number).
It looks like they removed all the dudes entirely and made it a std FPS/3rdPS? That's a real shame. Oh well, maybe it'll still be fun as a co-op shooter for an afternoon. Here's hoping IO moves on and makes a good Hitman follow-up. It's been awhile.

Anyone with half of a functioning brain cell wouldn't buy this for half price at a dollar store.
Ya know, I agree with Yahtzee, but recently he's just getting droll.
One of his complaints was the graphics style, which looks like its being shot through a camera. Now, while it was not as well executed as it could have been, that was a step towards immersion. However, it wasn't praised; let alone mentioned. The point of being a reviewer, or critic, or whatever the hell he calls himself is to point out the GOOD and the BAD, lately Yahtzee just seems like hes pointing out the bad without mentioning the good.
Yeah, this game sucks. Bad. But the way it was shot was worth noting, as it was a semi-decent attempt at immersion that could have worked with a little more polish.
ALSO; who cares about Gerstmann? He was the worst GameSpot reviewer; he was incredibly biased. BRING BACK GREG KASAVIN!!!

How do you set a game in a major Chinese city and come out with a gray-a-thon?
Why do the drooling masses want their fantasy life to be about a pair foul-mouthed morons with no redeeming qualities?
And who thinks POV provided by an 8mm camera on the shoulder of a leper is a good idea?
It's a shame, too, because the setting could be great for an actually good game about real characters and intriguing story. Maybe Kane and Lynch could make a cameo being served as dog food.

He's already explained why he wont in Extra Punctuation. It's not a case of balls, it's a case of he isn't into that sort of games. End of.Rogthgar said:
