Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Video Review

[newf360]

This game sucked balls, and this idiot should never be allowed to review another game.

[connorsparks]

like this comment if you think this game had the gayest ending ever

[AnEnglishBard]

Probably the nicest quality review on Gamespot, Jeff made the other guys look bad. Actually they did that themselves.

[churchflix]

Keep it up Jeff do what right bro keep reviewing games. Thank you

[psx2514]

Is Giantbomb pretty much all the former Gamespot reviewers who left when Jeff got fired?

[KingPandaTV]

@psx2514 Most of Giantbomb is yes. Patrick Klepek is from G4 though and i think Drew is from somewhere else too. Not sure where

[psx2514]

I love how he sticks to his opinion of the first game and didn't cave into pressure at all.

[SAGE4DAWISE]

Damnit why couldn't rockstar made this game.

[Zain844]

The "Undercover Cop" mode actually sounds like a pretty good idea... Rockstar should have thought of that... for multiplayer in GTA 4 or Red Dead...

[SUNNYRAINWIND]

Jeff Gerstmann YOU ARE A HERO!!

[Coogluy1234]

who else came from his original review? :DD

[darkguardian1314]

Way to keep it professional after that mess with Gamespot. I would for the record had mentioned it just to keep everything above board.

[Deathofseasons1]

3:51 made me laugh so hard.

[Lessproductivestuff]

oh wow, this is weird!

[peek297]

2:45 hahahaha

[peek297]

An ugly, ugly game.

[peek297]

Ah, the thing that got him fired, he had fun with this.

[CharlesjChan]

I'mm go out on a limb here and assume this guys gonna be a lil biased.

For good reason.

[thedaftdrunk]

@CharlesjChan True, but the game is god awful a waste of my 10 euro`s army of 2 40th day is a way better co-op.

[redmar79]

You should be on the apprentice.

[redmar79]

This is Fing stupid

[MrKelvinj23]

HAHAHAHA ugly ugly game. epic!!!! xD

[TokyoBrando]

typical xbox

[GamerX7800X]

Ugly Ugly game! EPIC!

[ConroyBumpus]

JEFF GERSTMANN

[MrTR500]

Jeff = LEGEND

[hobocamptheater]

if you're looking for 3rd person shooting fun than just get army of two.

and if you want the crazy visual effects jump up and down when running and drop some acid before you play.

[28dayslater14]

Jeff your a fucking idiot. You suck at rating games. This game may be short but its a hell of a fun ride until it ends. They cuss because there confused when continuous bad shit happens all around them and there stuck in the middle of it just like the first game.They both have disturbed pasts which makes them sort of edgy and untrustworthy of each other making an uneasy balance of character depth but it all runs with the story you NOOB!

[TokyoBrando]

i dont see why so many people hate K&L games..i own both on ps3 and love em ^^

the only problem i have is the time limit..i finished Dog Days in 3 hours on my first play through..if they doubled the games length K&L games would be perfect..i hope there is a 3rd being planned..i wanna know what happens after they board the plane.

ps: you're fired

[eo2525]

You can just see in his eyes during this one specific review that he just wants to say "FUCK YOU GAMESPOT YEAH THATS RIGHT I REMEMBERED HOW YOU FIRED ME AFTER I REVIEWED THE FIRST GAME!"LOL

[Verification11]

lol at the laggin of the multiplayer 

[bamb0ostick]

I played both K&L games and I still don't know why I keep coming back to it. The shooting is bland as hell and the AI is absolutely atrocious. I really like however the grim antiheroes and the dark story. I just want to see how f-ed up things get as things go along. Its like watching a snuff film, I just want to see beautiful things get destroyed.

[MjoelH]

Hey Jeff. Good review. Haven't been following Giantbomb all that much recently, I ought to.

Nice to see you haven't been fired however... yet.

[RightFootStar]

Very classy Jeff. Good on you to forgive and forget.

[luislasvegas]

1/10

[HateCoD]

This guy is a really good reviewer, he's very honest. I thought he'd be pissed at this game cos the first one got him fired lol. But he gave this game a fair review. The online is pretty awesome too.

[9DarkSoul6]

@HateCoD

His insubordination got him fired, not the game.

He thought his bosses' opinion wasn't as important as his own, so he got fired. He deserved it. It's their site.

And now, people treat him like a censored jesus-like martir who seeks the truth.

It really is a perfect example of how people (as a collective entity) are generally stupid.

[HateCoD]

@9DarkSoul6 Do you work for GameSpot or something lol?

[HateCoD]

@9DarkSoul6 Oh and fuck you for calling me stupid you little prick, very ignorant person.

[redsam100]

@9DarkSoul6- Boss? so you think a fucking sales team taking bribes from a publisher should be the boss of the editorial team? stop kidding yourself. He worked 10 years and along with other great staff got GS where it is now and that is how he got repaid. Why do you think CNET never revealed the details to the incident despite the outcry? cuz then Gerstmenn could legally defend himself. Even the staff took his side, and in two years most of the experienced staff left GS(Davis, Navarro, shoemaker)

[redsam100]

@9DarkSoul6- oh wait let me guess...you're one of those losers who got their feelings hurt when Jeff gave your fav games a score lover than 9.5? lol...shitty gamers these days whining over their fav games getting low scores...

[9DarkSoul6]

@redsam100

No, He didn't give the game a low score. He trashed the game. That's very different.

The way he talked and his vid's game footage he may not even have passed the 2nd level.

But that's ok with me, really.

What really pissed me off was the public reaction, redsam100 (see comment section) being a perfect example of that: people just don't realize how unserious a reviewer's job is - it's not like they're journalists - they's just guys who are paid to make subjective statements.

[redsam100]

@9DarkSoul6- a 3/5 is the same as 6/10 that he gave to the first one. Your point is only partially true. Subjective reviews are these days given to high profile games mostly, thanks to sponsorship, that wasn't always so. Even then, At least some Integrity and transparency should be maintained. That is why the editorial team and the sales team are separate, but in GS the editors are no the puppets of the advertisement team. This didnt happen during Greg or vince broadys time.

[redsam100]

@9DarkSoul6-this trend of taking bribes and to give higher scores only started happening recently. If that wasn't true than people like Greg kasavin and Jeff would have been fired 10 years ago. If Jeff really was a dick or a clown as you claim then why is it that so many from the staff sided with him. Ryan Davis, Alex Navarro, Brad schomaker, Vinny Caravella all left following his termination. Even some of the ex-GS senior staff sided with him. You should get your facts straight.

[thereaIblackcerberus]

@redsam100 "-this trend of taking bribes and to give higher scores only started happening recently"

Wrong, bro. This has been happening since the NES was new.

[redsam100]

@thereaIblackcerberus- you're right, it was always there, but it only became a proper trend in the last generation when the stakes got higher and AAA games became increasingly costlier to make. GS for eg, used to give very strict reviews. But their scores started to go off the charts some time around 5-6 years ago. Lately, as Greg kasavin pointed out in a presentation, there has been increasing pressures on reviewers by the PR staff of publishers to give higher scores. This wasnt always so

[thereaIblackcerberus]

@redsam100 True. I guess the growth of such a subjective industry can't possibly lead to an all positive outcome.

[valeriy1987]

the game is extremely ugly, its like an insult to anyone who owns decent pc

[N311Steam]

@valeriy1987  no....

[UltraDaveDude]

Somehow, I knew he was gonna review it...

[cahill22]

Justice Covert got owned.

[Axxelator]

Kane and Lynch is an ugly ugly game indeed.

[Catmangamer]

DONT GET FIRED JEFF!

[shawnv21]

Gamespot lost a very good reviewer when they fired him.

[Nicksta101]

@shawnv21 Too right

[fredepadde]

I really hoped that IO would have shaped up this time... They were a great study and some of the hitman games along with the brilliant Freedom Fighters are among my favourites... Too bad.

[JacksInn]

Great review.

YOU'RE FIRED!

[adidas1984x]

love it that jeff is doing it lol remembering back in the gamspot days the review then

[DainBramaged234]

CAN YOU SAY IRONY? :D

[ASerrant]

sweet sweet irony...

[monstercameron]

why do you hate it so much? i just dont get it...you are all fire up about hating it...you see what i did there

[kristjanzzzz]

played teh demo, loved teh visual style, LOVE IT, but teh geim itself is meh.

[dancinginfernal]

Now Geoff is going to get fired again, and then he'll start a new site with Will Smith and Alex AND THE CYCLE SHALL REPEAT.

[stevemanu10]

@dancinginfernal That would be awesome

[ronbat777]

irony.... hope he doesnt get fired again hah

[hyungwoo0312]

I tried the demo. Absolutely hated it personally because of two reasons.

1. No option for the filters.

2. Multiplayer suffers badly from lag. Seriously AI and players just jump around the map like shit. WTF is it?!

[SamuelStiles]

LOL I CANT BELIEVE HE REVIEWED IT

[PinkyPurply]

I was wondering whether or not jeff would review it. Glad he did :)

[teamtntn]

My friend got the head shot bug at the end. Couldn't even beat it... Messed up! Not buying this crap! 

[kfc71]

new camera style is a piece of s#$t

[kingliam1221]

oo will they fire jeff lol

[RooneyCantona]

@kingliam1221 You're so original lol
