Hi gggmanlives. I like you reviews a lot.Why don't you review any assasins creed games?I know you like ac games.

Hey GGManLives, I’m a huge fan of yours. (Also I’m a fellow Aussie). I would like to say keep up the amazing work, your doing a fantastic job. I love your videos, and anxiously await new ones. Also I have a request, if you’d like. Could you please review (if you haven’t) Goldeneye 007 (The original game?). Thanks!

[@halihandro]

Hey mate. This game had a super cool but subtitle feature that no one ever talks about. I’m one of the few people on earth who tried to finish this game in split screen with a friend and i noticed that in one of the missions some of the cops weren’t armed and would try and run away and hide during all the shooting. I got my friend to come over and look at a cop hiding behind a bin, but on his screen it was just a member of the public. Either we had a mad bug or the developer had made my characters delusions real. Still not sure either way, but it’s a fantastic idea

[@arhickernell]

Hey Gggmanlives, you plan on reviewing Red Dead Redemption 2??

@@halihandroit's a mechanic in game for Lynch as he becomes more unstable without meds, it happens the whole way through. So many amazing ideas in this game and the sequel.

Lynch - the original Trevor. Kane - the original Michael.

[@joshglover2370]

Great comment! 😀 I didn't think of that.

[@imcharming4808]

Both games are nods to the film Heat: Waingro - the original Trevor. Neil McCauley - the original Michael.

[@mrbootystealer5712]

@i cant believe its not anime shut up

[@foxy629]

Thats what I was thinking

[@nathanniesche6380]

Michael and Trevor really have a lot of similarities to Kane and Lynch that go way beyond the simple archetypal roles that they both fill, especially with Kane himself and Lynch's perception and constant criticism of Kane. Kane is regretful and family oriented- just like Michael. Kane has a tendency towards dishonesty and a history of betraying his criminal sidekicks- just like Michael. And Lynch is constantly yelling at Kane over his disloyalty and dishonesty- just like Trevor does to Michael. The big difference though is that with Kane and Lynch, everything actually makes sense. With GTA 5, why does Trevor just start tagging around with his buddy who betrayed him like nothing happened, and even when he finds out for sure that he got his other comrade (Brad) killed, he just acts very passive aggressively towards Michael, not once actually making any serious threats of hurting him like the violent psychopath we're supposed to believe he is. The roles of Kane and Lynch are very much reversed- Kane is the hardened, experienced mercenary, and Lynch is the soft newbie who would probably get his teeth kicked in by Kane if he actually tried anything towards him, which explains why he never does. Kane isn't the least bit intimidated by Lynch, and would definitely have killed him after the bank massacre if he didn't need him alive. Their relationship works because, even though they're two violent criminals who probably want each other dead, they have no choice but to work together because they're the only people they can count on. The same can't be said for Trevor and Michael- it doesn't make sense and makes Trevor come across as a whiny, clingy child.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

The best part of the game is that the coop player playing Lynch suffers his psychosis so you see cops instead of civilians.

[@badnetcode6228]

Im so fucking glad some one mentioned this. Co-Op this game was great.. Seeing innocents and civiliians as LEOS explained why he was shooting so much shit in single player hahaha Oh shit and rappelling into the Skycraper and the HEAT mission felt great at the time.

For me, this game was one of my most guilty pleasures. The bank and skyscraper levels were so awesome!

[@Snout007]

The game is from 2007 but to me, it looks pretty nice to the eyes. I think the visual style has aged well.

[@dimscrawl4910]

Crysis came out in 2007 too. Graphics haven't so much improved in the last decade as just thrown a bunch of post-processing on top.

[@AleK0451]

the newer rendering methods are what have improved, like TX anti-aliasing which actually deletes aliasing instead of FSAA which just blurs the edges and looks like the screen has vaseline on it, and john carmack's work in megatextures really makes the difference between last gen and current gen games night and day

[@dimscrawl4910]

@@AleK0451 Eh... MoH Airborne and The Darkness still look fine. UE3 has aged like dogshit for sure, but most 7th gen games suffer more from poor colour grading and art direction than anything else. Hell, they were still using the Hitman 1 engine up until K&L2. Prefer supersampling to TXAA and megatexture doesn't impress me so much as object density in something like Hitman or Witcher 3.

[@SpecialOpsTriceratop]

Art direction was on point for these games.

[@DragoonBG]

It's crazy how "modern" it still looks. Not even purely on graphical fidelity. Just jumping on the video and watching some bits it can easily pass as predecessor to GTA 5 and it came out before even 4 was released lol. Holds up well with all those "new" mitiplayer style of games (aka battle royales), specifically the TPS ones as well. It's hilarious!

[@MajorFret]

As much as reboots have become overdone in the gaming industry, I think it'd be the best option for the Kayne and Lynch franchise. With the right talent, the story could be so much better, and with the shooting from the recent Hitman games, it could be pretty solid.

[@IncognitoSprax]

I forgot about that tbh.

[@evanharrison4054]

Despite all its numerous flaws, this will always be one of my favourite games. Like it or not, it did what it aimed to do perfectly, and that was adapting Of Mice And Men into a video game. It's not very big, it's not very detailed, but if you allow yourself to be immersed in the story, to identify with the characters, it's one of the most unique and memorable experiences you'll ever have. For the first time in a long time, I truly cared about the fates of the protagonists. I didn't just go through the motions in order to complete a series of tasks. I felt like I was desperately trying to uncock an utterly messed up situation, and for that, I believe this game deserves my eternal praise. People praise hitman, but despite all its technical wonders, I never was able to give a shit(I know it was kind of the point, but still) about any of the story or the characters. K&L gave me the kind of tingles I haven't felt from this developer since I first played Freedom Fighters. I understand everyone who hates this game, because the grass pop-in kind of kills the mood off the bat, but if I ever get drunk enough that I stop caring about bullshite like that, I always load in K&L 1-2 and have an absolute goddamned blast. "You-should-have-let-me-talk-to-them!" Never has a scene in a video game made me feel this much before, or after.

[@CyclonusTheProwl]

I actually really like this series because of how gritty it is and the relationship between the protagonists. Wish we'd get a third one.

[@sevenproxies4255]

Kane didn't steal money from The Seven. In fact it was never revealed in the game what he had stolen. It was something important obviously, but it was kept as a mystery throughout. I had hoped that the sequel would've explained it. But for some reason the devs just forgot about it and went with a completely different story in Shanghai of all places.

[@ANLATCHNOON]

Demetrius Ervin Kane and lynch both stylistically, and game wise is way more generic than max Payne 3. Payne 2-3 has a huge overhaul in the story, and graphics. Kane and lynch just takes every stiff, generic features of every post 90s shooters. The fact that this game came out 6 years after Max Payne 1, and is only 5 years older than Max Payne 3 shows how water down IO studios made everything to fit into a commercial product.

[@MerlautZone]

Max Payne 3's gameplay wasn't better than 1&2's imo. It was even more linear, they shoehorned in a cover mechanic, no dream sequences, and can't use thrown weapons in single-player.

[@DinnyForst]

I personally like this game so much. AI teammate can be confused sometimes, but it's manageable even on hardest difficulty. It has some flaws, but what hook me is characters and storytelling which reminds me of Heat. Psycho protagonist like Lynch might not be well executed more than game script, but it's something we rarely see in video game. I enjoy experience for both Kane & Lynch. For story, I prefer first one, but second one for atmosphere. I wish there's more games like this.

Something special could've really came out of Kane and Lynch. The had a good blueprint with the first game that could've led into fantastic sequel but took a risk that went very sour. R.I.P to what could've been

Yeah, you can at least say the seccond Kane and lynch tried something different with the setting and the gross found footage camera like effects...

I feel Rockstar should've made a sequel/remake to this game instead of Max Payne 3. It fits the MP3 style more than MP3 if that makes sense.

[@archivedaccount5990]

Honestly, I just find this game pretty average. I love gritty crime narratives but Dead Men seems kinda meh when compared to other alternatives, both in movies and video games. It's not bad, but it's not particularly great, either. But at the same time, I have a soft spot for this game (as well as its sequel, believe it or not) and I don't regret ever playing it.

[@PalaceDude]

I LOVE both games, unapologetically, but I'm curious, what would you suggest for alternatives?

[@archivedaccount5990]

Well, in terms of crime-based third person shooters, there isn't much to recommend, as majority of shooting games are either military or sci-fi (and in some cases, horror games or stealth titles), so my closest recommendation would probably be the GTA titles, as well as the sandbox game Sleeping Dogs, given the Shanghai setting. I dunno, it's kinda hard to find a game similar to Kane & Lynch, both in terms of gameplay and setting.

[@PalaceDude]

@@archivedaccount5990 Exactly, whenever I try to think of an alternative it's always an open-world game. I just want another gritty crime story based singleplayer game like *K&L* or *Hitman* (or even *Max Payne 2,* that one is among my fav of all time) Games like *GTA,* *Mafia II* and *Driver,* were also real good. But I just want a linear game. Btw, I always wanted to try *Sleeping Dogs,* and since you reminded me of it, will do soon. Thanks a bunch.

I also have a love/hate relationship with Dead Men. There is so much unused or waasted potential that in the right hands could have been a really outstanding game. Both Characters deserve to be fleshed out and the mexico mission really is a stain on an otherwise interessting story. I think Kane and Lynch deserve a remake with more depth, better gameplay/gunplay, extended story threads and a new epilogue and it could be massively improved. But unfortunately I doubt that Square/Enix will do something with the brand in the next years and IO Interactive only got the rights for Hitman and Freedom Fighters back. Such a shame :/

Made watching it thrilling even if the "realistic" recoil (tap fire and aim a bit lower than where you want to shoot) and reload times were a nightmare.

K&L2 sucked so bad that i literally felt rewarded in Hitman Absolution blowing those 2 characters brains out when i spottted them in the gun range mission.

[@cementbox4430]

Biggest Mikey lol I remember that.

[@aamirbhura007]

IO interactive cancelled freedom fighters 2 for this shit franchise. Also can you do a review for freedom fighters.

[@allancandaza]

@PUPPET MASTER your wrong Electronic Arts held keep it to their secret safe duhhh!!!!

[@davidgomez7882]

@PUPPET MASTER dude, it's been 15 years! There's no way they'll bring it back. As much as I love Freedom Fighters, its as good as dead

[@breadgeorge_]

@@davidgomez7882 I'm sure that when they're done with hitman 3 (most likely their next game) they will begin a new project, like FF. Or just make another hitman game.

[@Censorshift]

I really enjoyed this series as a whole, kinda wish there was a 3

[@brunovance8101]

I was JUST thinking about the whole Gamespot review fiasco involving this franchise back in the day. Small world.

[@zookwick]

At the end you say K&L 2 is worse. Wat? The sequel was actually kinda cool in it's shittiness. Kane & Lynch 2 is one of my guilty pleasures. I've finished the game several times. It's actually one of the few games I immediately restarted after having finished it the first time, just to play it one the hardest difficulty (which, to be fair, was one of the most frustrating experiences ever).

[@Gabriel-wk3hz]

Kl2 was like Hotline Miami as a tps. I liked it

[@MerlautZone]

I like both games, but prefer Dead Men. Only things I enjoyed more about Dog Days was its polished shooting, and addition of an arcade mode.

[@Gamesta100]

2 is the only one I have played and man is it a bad game. It's more like a launch PS2 game than a PS3 game lol

[@DirkdigglerV2]

Hope you do kane and lynch 2 next, it's a much better game

[@giorgialadashvili4771]

You are ironic, right?

[@gohstdude2]

kane and lynch 2 dogshit ?

[@GreekBoy1997]

kane & lynch 2 was a piece of shit. 4 HOURS

[@NumaanTahir]

Kanye and lunch 2 is the worst seaqule to a serious game

[@zookwick]

Gosh, seems like everyone thinks the first one was better. I definitely thought the sequel was miles better than the first one.

[@JacobDFerguson]

I really enjoyed the coop mode in this game back in the day. I actually dog days as well

[@Secritek]

Ur videos are my go-to source material on FPS games :D

[@12feettall6]

I WANT FREEDOM FIGHTERS 2

[@MrFreefonix420]

Using Hitman 2 as a tag to get views 🙄

[@awfulagent4797]

👌

[@MrFreefonix420]

@@awfulagent4797 you didnt show up in any of these games! Using your pupularity to show up amongst the videos .....very cheeky

[@Gggmanlives]

You should try it, might get more than 1k subs.

[@MrFreefonix420]

Been watching you for years and never expected it... and id rather have legit 1k than putting false titles mate. You're better than that anyway

[@MrFreefonix420]

Also the likes on your comments are just over the top fanboys. Ive been watching you since you only had 300 subs im just pointing out something. Its funny how you only reply to negative stuff none of the questions ive asked over the years cheers mate

[@6Catz]

crazy how the night club has more npcs then cyber punks open city streets

[@boombya123]

I love both Kane & Lynch games played them a bunch in my younger years

[@thepackardgoose5180]

It's so weird, I was thinking about this series when I was walking home yesterday, and kept trying to remember if you reviewed it or not.

[@kamiwouter]

I had fun with these two games. Played them both co-op with a friend and we had a great time. Don't know if it's very different when you play solo but playing split screen on your couch with some beers was lot's of fun.

[@east.3404]

Love the reference to Michael Mann’s movies . Heat and collateral defiantly defined this aesthetic and story

[@nickcrow5827]

I really want a Kane and Lynch remake.

[@GianlucaBaccino]

Really enjoyed this game, one of the few ones with split-sreen multiplayer on PC, also, its weird but this game could easily work as a movie somehow, would have been cool if Bruce Willis played Kane.

[@jordanalexanderroberts1578]

This was the first game I played on the 360 and I loved it, I really enjoyed the multiplayer for it too I had some fun moments on it

[@blakegman4479]

I think both K&L games are underrated because it takes a certain type of person with the patience to properly appreciate them. It's not for everyone but there's nothing else quite like them.

[@paulstaker8861]

The bad bullet spread is intentional. I never minded it as its fits with the theme. But what makes it bad is how the levels in K&L1 are not designed around it with tons of far away enemies, which K&L 2 fixed (kinda).

[@TheSmookk]

I recently got this on steam as I'd only played dog days before and what a contrast between games, still worth playing

[@visassess8607]

The way you described this game reminds me a lot of Army of Two

[@bunb4lyfe]

I liked the first one probally because it was one of the first co op games I played with my brothers and friends on this gen, but when the 2nd game came out 3 years years later and I've seen this gens potential I've realized they could've done whole alot better.

[@maniac50ae14]

This one of my all time favorites! It wasnt the most developed hame but it was great for what it was

[@Malgon3DR]

How bizarre, I literally began playing this for the first time on the same day as your review!
