Eh... You are aware of games like Red Dead Redemption and GTA etc you play a psychopath and a murderer? Kane and Lynch are mature because they actually paint the characters as what they are - cold blooded killers. They are anti heros.Batsamaritan said:Second time I knew something was wrong with this game the advertising told me I could play a medicated psycopath as if that was a good thing. Only if i was fifteen, and then i probably wouldn't know what a medicated psychopath was, or at least thought it was someone in a 'mature' game, because this is the kind of game that fifteen year olds think is mature.
That was also the first thing I thought of when he mentioned how boring cover-based shooters have become.Onyx Oblivion said:Maybe he'll like Vanquish...If he reviews it. Cover based shooting, but JET PROPELLED!
Have you played the games? They actually do have a lot of backstory and sophistication. It's just not present so blatantly and cliched like something from a Hollywood movie. Take the scene in Dog Days were Lynch breaks down. This is a man who built a new life for himself from nothing and lost it all. And is now driven to the very edge.Batsamaritan said:yes i'm totally aware that those characters are killers, thieves ect. But they have character arcs, they learn things and develop over time and their interesting which is what makes them way more mature than kane and lynch not the fact they go around killing people. Kane and lynch lack any sophistication, character development in fact they lack EVERYTHING, All they represent is a vision of maturity that involves violence and death... their not anti-heroes, anti heroes are interesting their just twats.T0xiCity8 said:Eh...
