Co-Optimus: Recently I was invited to check out the latest build of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days for the Xbox 360, though it'll also be available on the PS3 and PC. We've been through it before, you know the storied past of the previous game, so lets move right on. As we've been telling you for months the game has adapted this unique visual style which has been compared to something you'll see on YouTube. While this may be a fair comparison, it doesn't do the game justice once you see it in action.
As games attempt to look more and more realistic, they are getting dangerously close to the uncanny valley. Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, and others all look amazing, but because of their approach to realism - it's that much easier to tell when something just doesn't quite look right. In Kane and Lynch 2 the contrast is bumped up, the colors are desaturated and given a grayish-pink hue, and video style artifacts are present throughout the game world.
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.
$3 billion and counting along with alot of users. I disagree with that being on the list. This list is just a person opinion without merit
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.
