BeefJack: "Like the first game, Dog Days could have ended up as videogames’ first successful attempt at doing something relatively new with the idea of career criminals in the lead (as opposed to the predictable narrative of something like Mafia II). It could have gone further into the emptiness and moral decay that comes of choosing murder and armed robbery for a living. It could have fixed the grating flaws of the original. Turns out it doesn’t do any of these things. Other than the queasy thrill of the production values, there’s little reason to play Kane & Lynch 2 other than to dream of what might have been."
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.
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.
It's a little better if played in co-op with a friend, but still a big waste of great potential. Good voice acting though.
