Is it a 'getting old' thing that makes me not like killing police in video games?
I've played about an hour of Kane and Lynch and the small amount of time I've actually been in control of the character has been spent murdering dozens upon dozens of officers of the law.
The first time I ever remember feeling this way was playing 'The Getaway' on PS2 back when it was new.
I think it's something that has come hand in hand with not just my advancing years, but also the mediums improving graphics.
From the start of gen 7 onward it's been possible to imagine that the old cop I just headshot had grandchildren, that woman cop has fought tooth and nail for respect all her life and now her brains are all over that middle-aged '2 days to retirement' captain cop's shoes, which are 12 yards from his pelvis.
I don't like it. And I don't like Kane and Lynch.
It's really tempting to end this write up there but I guess I should explain why.
