Yeah, great weapon handling in K&L2.

Except that shotguns are more accurate (And at longer range) than ANYTHING else, sniper rifles introduce a delay between shooting and the bullet reaching what you'd shot at (So you miss most of the time, thanks to enemies constantly twitching back behind cover), handguns are so weak that you sometimes have to empty an entire clip to permanently keep a enemy down (I'm not sure what bullets are made out of in this game. Rubber? Enemies climb to their feet after being shot until they fall down multiple times, leaving you constantly guessing as to if you really killed them or not), SMGs and rifles are woefully inaccurate (Almost equally, and SMGs pack less of a punch than handguns), and ammunition tends to be handled Halo-style -- i.e., you'll need to pick up a different gun before long.

So, yes, other than how completely ridiculous and counter-intuitive everything else about the shooting is, the recoil effect is decent (And not new at all).
I didn't notice any of this. Might have been a difference on pc and console? After i learned how the weapons handle i had no trouble att all killing several enemies on each magazine. also i had the AK47 from the point i got it trough the rest of the game (almost). also the shotguns suck in comparison.

I think IO should stop be wannabe storytellers though if it means we get the hitman series back.

That's why they were put on probation. People who add absolutely nothing with a comment to a ZP video at a time which it would be impossible to have seen any substantial amount of the video get put on probation. Happens every Wednesday.
Oh dear, delicious irony...
I logged on today to find about 8 or 9 messages quoting me with something like this.

Hey, if I'm going to go on probation, at least I'm popular, eh? Not quite as popular as when I was put on probation for suggesting someone...well...let's no go there, to prevent a banning.
Absolutely! Go down in a blaze of glory!

So, I know the latest zero punctuations just came out and all (funny and agreeable as most Yahtzee's reviews are), but do you think he's gonna review Amnesia: The Dark Descent? I mean, considering he loves Silent Hill 2 so much, I think that by not reviewing it he'd be passing up a rare chance to actually fill a game with praises instead of hate. I mean, in terms of atmosphere Silent Hill 2 is, really, the only game I can think of that is capable of competing with it. Ok, maybe not the only game, but it's still a pretty awesome horror game.

This game is so monotonously bland that I didn't even acknowledge its existence until this very review. It seems so deliriously cliched and hideous it defies generic shooter standards and creates its own, the 'Kane and Lynch' genre, where everything is ripped off of everything.
So where did it Rip-Off the camera style? Or the characters? Right ... you're full of it.
Yep, full of it. Full of blood and oxygen and bodily fluids. Just because they are new characters doesn't mean they are new archetypes, their personalities and motives have been repeated time and time again in video games. The camera style is simply an unoriginal gimmick mumblecore directors like to use. Maybe the camera-style hasn't been ripped off of another game per se, but with good reason, because it's so terrible no other game should have it. In that sense, it's an original concept.
While agreeing with Yahtzee that the game does indeed suck (it's boring as hell at least), I cannot agree with you in the ripping off part. I could go on and analyze every single aspect of the game in order to try to prove it to you, but I think I'll just say that, in my opinion, the game does innovate... The problem is, every single "innovation" in it is the wrong one; the game just becomes so weird and unlikeable that you just can't... like it, I guess... which, I think, was the objective, but... well whatever.
And another thing which I must say: The characters are certainly not ripped off from any other game. The fact that never before have I seen characters so unlikeable pretty much proves it. I mean, I've seen uninteresting characters and crappy characters, but these are just... weird.

Meh & carebearstare -_-
Had to make a first ever post here about this since it was truly a total waste of my time.

OI M8! Reviewing a game which is said -by all of the intartubes and interweb plp- to be total poo poo is equal to saying that cpt. obvious is obvious.

The review seemed good though. Except for that the game is not relevant to my interests to say the least, thus is the review. Stating that a shitty game is shit while it is known to be shitty is no problem in itself. However all the puns and good illustrations you make does not make up for going into detail(!) about shit I do not and will not care about.
This happened before but still it was enjoyable to watch. Almost all of your other reviews I liked and some I regarded as epic, this one not, therefore my post. Hope it helps :)
Thanks for all the other reviews and all the best in future endeavours.

Yeah is anyone else having problems watching this video? I keep getting an error saying Stream not found. It won't let me copy and paste is so I won't post it all but I believe most if it is just the video source. I've tried it on 3 different browsers (Safari, Firefox and Chrome) and it isn't letting me get my weekly fix. If I don't get some ZP soon I may begin withdrawal and will not be responsible for my own actions.

Still broken, annoyingly enough, which is a shame because it *sounds* like a good one from all the previous comments.

"Kane and Lynch sucked so many dicks it now breathes *spunk* instead of air!"

Now THAT'S a quote that should be on the box art!

Holy shit! I have to watch this when I'm not so high. It sounds like Yahtzee raped this game a new one.

It's official. Kane and Lynch is now on the same level as Sonic.
Technically, in order for it to be like Sonic, Kane & Lynch would've needed at least one good game before this.

I wonder if Yahtzee has found a new "worst game I've ever reviewed", in place of Too Human.
Probably not. Didn't he say that Too Human was broken almost to the point of unplayability?

OT: Excellent review. The man with the sweet hat scores again.

You know. Nothing ever is good that's produced by Squarenix or any of its associates. It would be best to never look again at one of their products. Their fans will die off soon enough from social stigma.

In other news. I saw the initial posts, and was too curious not too comment. Why were they put on probation for complimenting the video? Did some one report them because they didn't get to post first?

"Sucks so many dicks it now breathes spunk instead of air" is the best insult I've heard all year. I shall be ripping that one off and hard.

Maybe he'll like Vanquish...If he reviews it. Cover based shooting, but JET PROPELLED!
Which was all well and good until the checkpoint-less boss one hit killed me and I vowed never to touch it again.

OT:

This was the best ZP in months.

Yahtzee is like Bill Hicks, funnier when he's angry.

There's a checkpoint at the start. Just not after it transforms. The turrets on the ledge DECIMATE his health in less than 10 seconds.

Rolling on the floor, laughing. Not even going to abbreviate that, it's worth every word to say.

The final joke is priceless.

And Yahtzee once again proves his clairvoyance, as the DNF business seems almost frighteningly prophetic. It's finally coming out and it's going to be another generic brown FPS. Hoo-ray.
I wonder if he'll review it again, if it finally comes out(I'll believe it's done, only when I see it on sale in my local shop).
