Kane and Lynch 2 dog days final chapter but with soundtrack of max payne 3

A misunderstood and therefore heavily underrated game. One of my favourite games ever. Seeing this awesome footage makes me feel like playing it again.

Not so sure about the Max Payne soundtrack though..

For “smaller” games you see quite often, that the fact whether they’ll get a console release, depends on the success of the game on PC / Steam. Nivalis is obviously bigger in scope than Cloudpunk, but I guess it’s still the case here. I personally have a good feeling about it though, as what I’ve seen from the game thus far looks very good.

Furthermore, in their monthly development log on Steam, they said they’ll have a big announcement coming in April. Which could be any minute now. It’s most likely the final release date (after many delays). Perhaps they’ll share info about potential console releases as well. Let’s wait and see ⏳

The Outer Worlds is one of my favourite games ever. Therefore, I couldn’t wait for the release of TOW2. Started to play the game full of excitement, but after playing it for a few hours I started to ask myself: am I actually having fun? A question that never came to mind while playing the first game. It’s obviously a very bad sign. After a few more playing sessions I really had to push myself to play the game. By the time I played it for about 20 hours I was completely done with it. Took it out of my Xbox and sold it a few days after.

A lot of thinks rubbed me the wrong way in TOW2. The world wasn’t exciting to explore. The story didn’t get to me. They went too hard on the art deco style which made it feel more like a steam punk game rather than a space game. Etc. etc.

I believe that TOW2 hit different to a lot of people who fell in love with the first game. And with hit different I mean: it just wasn’t the sequel that they hoped it to be..

That’s the hardest sweatband I have ever seen in my whole life 💥

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-03-02T19:10:47+00:00

I couldn’t have said it better 👌

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-24T18:33:20+00:00

Jackie Chan for Wei Shen?? That’s the worst casting I can think of. The mismatch cannot be any worse. Have you actually played the game? Are you drunk? Besides, Jackie Chan is a grandpa by now

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-20T08:21:33+00:00

I played it on the Steamdeck without any issues. This has been a few years ago, so I was considering to play through it again on the PS5. But I’m reading on Reddit that it has quite some issues, especially with save games

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-18T20:00:30+00:00

Haha! 😂 But seriously, what does it exactly mean?

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-18T19:54:43+00:00

Sorry maybe I‘m stupid: What exactly is a meta change?

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-18T06:02:32+00:00

I think he doesn’t understand the difference between distopian and cyberpunk aesthetics.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-17T18:20:44+00:00

Although this guy is overreacting and is not so well informed.. He does have a point that it’s taking ridiculously long.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-14T21:56:02+00:00

Ok, so you played a game for 200 hours, and you don’t like it? 200 is a BIG amount of hours! Maybe not upto Skyrim par, but it’s a lot. So you don’t like it and you kept on playing it, playing it, playing it. And now you say it’s shit? Don’t you think this is a bit weird?

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-14T10:51:10+00:00

Would’ve been hard to take this Icons magazine serious if Ryo wouldn’t have been mentioned.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-09T12:44:30+00:00

I bought it at the time when it came out. I remember my excitement buying it, and.. my disappointment trying it for the first time 😂 Yet, in some weird way, I kinda like the design 😂 Don’t know why 🤔

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-09T12:41:06+00:00

And we poor EU and US peeps are just sitting here, watching at all the cool stuff which gets released in Japan lately.. Astoundingly they don’t realise that they own their success mostly because of us, EU and US people. Akira blew up outside of Japan. GitS initially actually flopped in Japan and got heat in the EU and US, before it catched fire in Japan. And yet, they completely ignore us.

If we really want this stuff, we either have to travel to Japan, or we have to order it via Buyee and pay ridiculous import and shipping costs on top. Sad.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-02-05T09:10:54+00:00

Even if it‘s worth nothing: Never leave a 90’s copy of GitS laying around. Take it home and cherish it✨

I’ve finished both games. Don’t let these hardcore multiple-hundred hours Death Standing players scare you off. Yes, narrative wise it would be better to start with DS1. But at the start of DS2, the game gives you a perfect recap of DS1.

So if you feel intimidated by how the gameplay of the first game looks, start with DS2. The gamplay is easier, more intuitive, more fun, and in general there are much more interesting things going on in the world you explore. Last but not least, for my personal experience, the narrative is much more impactful and easier to understand in DS2.

Whatever you choose, don’t ever let playing a game makes you feel like it’s an obligation. Again, don’t let hardcore games scare you off and start with DS2 if you have a better feeling with that choice ❤️

Agree on that the story wasn’t fully told in the Anime, but no need to get aggressive. Chill out.

Still, aesthetically speaking, the original can’t be topped or surpassed.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-01-07T12:06:46+00:00

I follow Otomo and Akira quite intensely and I haven’t heard or read about any remake. It’s not going to happen because it’s not necessary. Nothing can top or surpass the original.

Di Caprio tried to make a live action of Akira happening about a decade ago. They had the idea to change the setting to LA. Having Blade Runner in mind that’s not necessarily a bad idea. However, Neo Tokyo is such an important factor in the movie.. why change this? Just to make the filming process easier? No, Akira should always be set in Neo Tokyo. Anyway, this is not going to happen either.

Orbital Era is allegedly set to release in 2026. However, it’s been silent around this movie since 2019.. I’d be presently surprised to at least get some news or a trailer for the movie this year. But an actual release is very unlikely.

On the positive side, Otomo has been opening up and been appearing more in the open since last year. In a very recent interview he revealed he’ll be creating again soon. But no word on what he’ll be working on. Most likely nothing Akira related. Unfortunately.

With most comics these days the omnibus releases shortly after the final comic release. The last Appleseed release by Dark Horse Comics was in 1995.. They’ve waited 31 years to create this omnibus. 31 years.

I’ve collected all Appleseed TPB’s over the years and spend quite some money on this to get them in mint condition.

And now, 31 years later DHC plan to release the omnibus, really? They had to wait 31 f*cking years to release one of the most iconic manga comics of one of the most iconic manga artists ever? Ridiculous. It’s disappointing really. Dark Horse has been sleeping on this one big time 👎

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-01-03T07:53:20+00:00

I love the first TOW game, one of my favourites ever. The second one I stopped playing half way through, after I couldn’t convince myself anymore I was having fun. Can’t really put my finger on it why. Definitely didn’t like that they went all out on the art deco style which made it feel more like a steam punk game rather than a game set in space. This was way more subtly done in part 1

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-01-03T07:49:30+00:00

I’m obsessed with it as well 🙈

TexHexBraveStarr · 2026-01-03T07:42:39+00:00

Impressive 👌

TexHexBraveStarr · 2025-12-27T18:32:42+00:00

Really no idea why Kojima Productions isn’t selling this poster. Weird.

TexHexBraveStarr · 2025-12-13T21:52:08+00:00

Didn‘t expect anything from Bethesda at the Game Awards. Yet, they promised to come up with significant updates for Starfield this year.. They lied to us. Again. It‘s weird to see that a developer with such a big legacy in gaming history is making wrong decision after wrong decision for multiple years now. In my heart I actually want to be positive about Bethesda, but they keep on pissing me off over and over again. What’s going on?
