http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...ne-and-Lynch-2A Chinese lawyer has called Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days a "Chinese slaughter game."
According to a news article on Japanese news site, NariNari, translated by the scholars over at Sankaku Complex - which I'm not going to link to due to the site suffering from a severe porn infestation - a Chinese lawyer has filed a suit against Square Enix over its terrible third person shooter sequel, Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. In it, he accuses the company of "damaging the image of Chinese people," "mocking China and the Chinese people," and "causing people to misunderstand China."
The lawyer is demanding an apology, as well compensation from both developer, IO Interactive, and Square Enix to the tune of 10,000 yuan or around $1600.
Kane and Lynch 2, which is set in Shanghai, sees Kane and his fraternal life partner, Lynch, visiting all kinds of violent horrors upon the Chinese populace - culminating in one very distressing scene where they expose their horrifically pixelated testicles to unsuspecting police officers.
Now assuming NariNari isn't the Japanese equivalent of The Onion, and, God forbid, this nutball actually wins in court, he isn't going to stop with Kane and Lynch.
"If I am victorious, it will establish a precedent allowing us to sue others - we will be able to strike a great blow against foreign companies who think they can insult China," he proclaims.
No doubt any winnings the he receives will go to support groups for those brave police officers still suffering the effects of elderly-male-scrote exposure.

Not surprising, they were also offended by The Dark Knight and banned it in their country.

The comments at the articles site is as funny as the article itself. He must be a really bad lawyer to not only have exposed himself to the game but also to ask for that amount of compensation.

Hopefully this lawsuit prevents Kane & Lynch 3 from ever being released, K&L2 was terrible one of the worst games I've played this gen.

I was going to say that Square Enix should just pay him and close the case(It's a lot cheaper then fighting it). But then again, others will feel compelled to sue Square-Enix so crushing this man's claims will destroy morale.

Is it just me or does this guy sounds like a comic book villain. I almost expected him to say "muahahahaha" at the end.If I am victorious, it will establish a precedent allowing us to sue others - we will be able to strike a great blow against foreign companies who think they can insult China," he proclaims.

what they don't understand here is that China ( the country as a whole) have actually been putting themselves down, no one is doing the damage but themselves. misunderstanding them? very unlikely, they actually don't understand themselves, there culture, or their own laws within that country (there are other countries just like that). for pete sakes I know I am not missing anything.
