This one article made my entire month. I can... not... WAIT! (And no, this isn't sarcasm haha.)
It's going to be extremely interesting to see what they do with the third. I can imagine they will improve on all the faults 2 had, learning from a past experience. 2 Was still a great game though, the multiplayer is the main reason to play it. It has a game experience like no other. Hopefully they take the Fragile Alliance game mode and add a bit more customization, maps, weapons, and gameplay elements.
Also, for you Kane and Lynch 1 veterans out there, remember that true skill system which would change your appearance by the rank you were on the leader boards? I loved that feature, because once someone joined and was wearing a suit... you knew you were screwed. It was really cool to see your progress visually too. Would you guys want that feature back?
You're kidding me right?
When will they learn?

Sarcastic sarcasm? Sarcasmception?
as long as they actually tie the story up and make it not 4 hours long, I'm okay with this
As long as they optimize the fuckin' netcode this time and make the multiplayer actually playable, I'll love every goddamn second of it .

Na man. I'm huge fan of the series. With Kane and Lynch... you either hate it, or absolutely love it. It has to be one of the two.

The multiplayer (For 2 anyway) has always worked for me and my friends! We're still playing it every weekend. I agree with the net code though, they need to sort that out. It's one of the worst net codes I've seen to date.
Like Marmite, I hate it.
i dont know why people hate kane and lynch so much, i think the storyline to number 2 was awesome, and the graphics weren't bad either.
the only downfall is that it was a little short, but i picked it up in the steam sale for £3.50 so i cant really complain.
I didn't know anyone actually liked this game.
I love the fragile alliance stuff, I was a huge fan of it when the first one came out but the community quickly died out due to the gameplay mechanics being pretty bad and was extremely laggy and buggy. Fragile Alliance in K&L2 was improved but again, the community died out due to the terrible lag.

I've been hosting $5 game competitions lately too. (It released the inner demon in all the players contending, it was truly quite a show) I'll add you!
I wonder if they could make it worse than K&L2.
I couldn't bring myself to play it for more than 30 minutes, I got a headache from the wobbly camera.
Thank god for rental shops.

You can turn off the camera btw. :P There is an option for it!
The first one was great, but the second one fucked up a lot of things. The story was short, felt really incoherent at times and the whole camera thing just does not work well in a video game.
Kane and Lynch is such a terrible, terrible series.
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch but my god shoot the guy that decided to implement that damn hand camera bollocks.
Shit I got Kl2 for €5 on steam sale and i don't think it was worth that even.
Challenge accepted.
Interesting concept? Yes.
God awful second game and a mediocre first? Yes.
Worth a third try? Probably not.
It's extremely depressing to see everyone dislike the opportunity for a third. :(
Just think about it... the first 2 games were like building blocks. This third and final one can finish it off with a bang!

I got it for 25 quid remember? I will never live that down.
They said they were gonna do a sequel from the get go.

Hell, I pre ordered the game for $50! :D
And to the disagrees on my last post, just because a series has a bad rep doesn't mean a new game for it will be just as bad as (Game in a series hated here)
They could add soooo much more with completely new concepts and gameplay elements. They could capitalize on the bank heist concept, taking Fragile Alliance to a whole new level. I'm just hoping they take it to that extent...
For fuck's sake, not a third. I love Kane and Lynch as characters, but the games just do so many things wrong.
I'll still play the third, as I sorta liked the first 2, but there was so much infuriatingly wrong with them.

That's why I'm hoping they learn from their past experience with the series. Maybe this time... they can get it just right?
I loved the multiplayer demo for the second game.
As long as they don't have you running around shooting people bare-ass-naked for 3 hours I'm sure it'll be better than Dog Days.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;32541785]That's what people were saying before K&L2 came out.
"They'll learn from their mistakes"[/QUOTE]
Thats what the devs said. Turns out the put even less into K&L2. What they need to do is focus on making it about something other than shooting people. They nailed atmosphere in the second game, story in the first game. Now they just need to come up with some decent fucking gameplay.
The single player is fucking awful in both games (less awful in the first), the multiplayer was fun though. Not enough to get my to buy it however.
[QUOTE=usaokay;32542634]The third game will suddenly turn Kane into a black man and Lynch into Bruce Willis.[/QUOTE]
Haha... now that you mention it, they are probably going to release the third game right next to the movie's release.
That would be so so so so bad.....

I remember back in the day people on FP said they would orgasm over a camera system like that.
Guess it took them only 3 years to contradict themselves epicly.
