Kane and Lynch Series | Edgy Games Are Better

The Kane and Lynch games are cult classics and a blackpilled rabbit hole, this is a discussion of the mid 00s and early 10s style of media and how unhinged masculine characters make for better stories.

I somehow feel like games depicted brutally like this are less disturbing than the wacky zany games we see now where whacky kooky characters make topical quips and laugh as they're brutally murdering people.

Nice to see both games get recognized, even contrasting the unique traits of each instead being lumped into an anoymous whole.

Man my brother and I played the 1st game religiously

Based vid. K&L is a hidden gem of a series.

[@loubloom1941]

The first game is hot garbage

[@abudorayakobu]

@@loubloom1941 the first game was great but the only problem is it was a windows live game

[@cophater298]

really good analysis

[@HeraldOfMediocrity]

i kind of understand the shift that we got into, with the global economic crisis and saturation of edgy stories and movies and shows and everything being dark and gritty and edgy and fucking badass, zany wacky and le epic characters were a novelty, now its time to let the coin flip again

[@VenomSnack]

Societal and economical trends used to dictate art more now yeah including games, though now it seems that what the normal man is trudging through is reflected less in the mainstream arts anyway, thanks corporatism.

[@godzillazfriction]

​@@VenomSnackno such thing as the concept of 'Normality'...

[@godzillazfriction]

​@@VenomSnackalso it's not that 'Morality lacks definition' it's that it serves to give out 'meaning' as a concept, but it exemplifies the allegorical and paradoxical nature of trying to give out 'meaning' - for and against Humanity aka Human Nature or what it means to be 'Human'...
'Morality' as with other concepts/dilemma's such as 'Normality' - 'Good & E_iL, Hero & Villain' - etcetera, etcetera...
it all stems from a subset of an 'idea' that forms a set of standards that gets objectified in (perceived) truth of what it's supposed to be as and what it should be...

[@godzillazfriction]

​@@VenomSnackanother 'also' - those issues that you point out about in the Modern Era is no different to what Kane & Lynch have in their games overall...
these 'ideas' are only stemmed or derived by the Human impulse/Genome, it's happening today as how it's always been happening since Humans have settled in finally...

[@VenomSnack]

@@godzillazfriction the "it's always been this way" is a popular argument but not exciting enough for TH-cam outrage.

I just recently got through playing these games again. I think unfortunately these games were heavily misunderstood upon release, which is unfortunate because there is a lot of potential in this series in my opinion. That being said the games as a whole are overwhelmingly ok with some sections even being outright bad. I just wish that they had one last chance to nail what kane and lynch could’ve been, which is an actually pretty good crime thriller with 2 protagonists that are at the same time horrible but also almost in an inverse way compelling. I’ll even say at some points I find these shit heels likable for how terrible they are.

[@TheNeXTGUI]

4:48 but kane and lynch DO eat in the game

[@jenniferhunter5433]

Interesting ♨now 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrQdiddy85]

the V/O is putting me asleep

[@VenomSnack]

Fair enough. I'll try to be more emotive

[@hamza4u119]

now that's a nice meme

[@blackLodgeskateboards]

I think the first game is a masterpiece, I just finished both games last week and they hold up so well against the crap we have now.

[@VenomSnack]

Glad they served you well. God bless
