I honestly thought we'd get that achievement for blowing up Harbinger, I saw it unlock when I beat Leng and thought it was a glitch.


I regard the hamster on the Normandy as more of an "old adversary" than Kai Leng. At least it's good at hiding.
I mean seriously "LOL I trolled you once now we're rivals." No Kai Leng, you are nothing. You are less than nothing. Nothing is reserved for characters 5 times as well written as you. Had you not lead to Thane's death I wouldn't even remember who you are!


I vote that The Angry One should play Kai Leng!!

WHO'S with me on this?!?

She'd make the compelling/credible villain thing work. But don't make her Kai Leng, that's just insulting.

I liked his scenes. Yeah he could have done with a little more background info in-game, but I still thought he was a good character.

And for the people comparing him to Saren, Kai wasn't the main antagonist, he was the Illusive Man's tool.  The Illusive Man and the Reapers were the main antagonist.

Horribly written
Annoying voice
Cheesy fight mechanics
Reality warping anime reject
Coward
Only lives through incompetence from Shepard and plot armor.
Lame ass boss fight
Villain Sue of the highest most disgusting order
A ninja in a guns and tech setting.
Over talked about and bragged about without any skills to back it up.
Pathetic compared to Saren, Tela Vasir, or Harbinger (that says something)

Overall just a terribly written villain who only wins because Bioware cant write a competent villain anymore.

Compared to Death's Hand he really is just lame.



in the fight scene at the cerebus base, I just ran around in circles hitting my rehealth and let the team hammer him down.. until he tried to sneak up on me..then. Whack!! lol

that scene was what all the attempted build up of Kai Leng was about, spose to pen up rage..etc so when you whacked him in the end you felt better about Shane,et al.

On the plus side this looks less like Kai Leng is stabbing Thane and more like Thane is pistol whipping Kai Leng.
Which is how the scene should've went..

Hah, thanks I had fun making the captions.

I wanted to add a caption where KL says, "I want to...touch..that..Chest!" but I figured it'd be more detracting than anything else :)

He is the definition of a character created by comity of people trying to make something "cool MAAANNN".

"ohh give him sword, our survey says the kids like swords"

"Yeah, they love katanas"

"I just played MGS4, they had a cyborg with one".

"What colour was his hair".

"It was white".

"that guy from FFVII he also had white hair had a huge sword and he wore a trench coat style outfit"

"Well we will make ours with black hair, complete opposite so that no one can accuse use of theft".

"Give him stupid goggles that are a bit racist also so we can never be accused of plagiarism. Who would be stupid enough to do that".

"Batman doesn't talk much...."

"I see where you are going, you will help me write the ending............Mac"

But combine all them elements and what you get is cat ******.

Had his 'boss battles' been handled better, he'd be alright. But the whole 'My shields are down, cover me whilst I recharge' and 'Look at me dance around doing nothing whilst you sap away at my insta-regen health' brought out the problem with him:

He can beat you in any cutscene. There are multiple problems with him like others here said. He just could of been handled much better.

Saren was a good villian because he was always one step ahead of you: hell you always arrived after he'd gotten what you were looking for and was on his way to the next place. He was also a good tragic villian.

Sovereign was a good villian in that it was a machine beyond understanding. The only time you talk to it and ask it 20 questions, it just shrugs them off and insults you: it does not care about anything but your destruction.

Harbinger was a good villian because he's constantly there: it's always insulting you. And you literally cannot kill it, it just repossess another Collector. Even when you blow up the Collector base and see the genereal getting blown up by explosions, you fin out Harbigner is a Reaper, and don't even get to kill it then. It's literally an unkillable antagonist that killed you once, and has the potential to do it again, and only through the player being good can it NOT kill you again.

Sucks that Harbinger was removed as the primary antagonist and we got Kai Leng instead.... TIM should have been a secondary antagonist.

Kai Leng could've been a good villain like in the novel and his VA was also good, but he was poorly written in the game

He came off as a child having a tantrum.

I don't usually just post "This", but when I do, I do it in response to posts like these.

Seriously though, Kai Leng felt more like a 14 year old COD kid trying to fight in real combat with a bunch of his rich dad's toys than a badass N7 graduate with years of experience.

Yesterday, I spanked Kai Lame like the little b&#$@ he is again in the Cerberus Base.

Surprisingly... I got into a "Press Melee like a monkey hiked up on speed" fight like you do with Husks jibber-jabbering at your neck. So again I spanked the pathetic excuse for a villain and tossed him aside.

And then I Wham-Slam-Bammed him again*. Anyone else get into a button-mash fight with Kai Lame when fighting him?

Also, I think the must EGREGIOUS offense of Cutscene Incompetence he inflicts upon Shepard is the C-SEC squad skycar scene.  Gee, he's outside the vehicle!  What should I do?  A: Hit the brakes, sending him flying off, B: Put the sky car into a roll spin and send him into the drink (water is NOT soft, at that height, it'd be like hitting concrete), or... C: Shoot at him futilly through the glass and then again repeatedly at his stupid hand shield that is somehow magnitudes more powerful than an entire array of KB emitters on an entire hardsuit while hanging out of a moving sky car?

Another egregious offense...  right after you fell him in the Cerberus base.  Shep's a  Space Navy SEAL.  Navy SEALs in real life have a policy of "double-tapping" to ensure an enemy is dead.  So what does Shep do?  Shep turns his back on an enemy that isn't verifiably dead, just so we can have another soopardooparkewl scene with Kai Lame.


* = Charge -> Nova -> Shottie2Face

He kills Thane in a scene that looks ridiculus and make Shepard and Co look ridiculus. Yes, I'll dislike him a lot for that... even if it's whoever wrote the scene's fault.

Oh yeah, I get to pull out my standard Kai Leng hate phrase.

Kai Leng is like the Team Rocket of Mass Effect.

Thank you, and good night.

Yea, I'm watching this cut scene and thinking ... why am I not doing a barrel roll?

From what he was described as in the book and what I have seen of him so far in the game, he is nothing like the book character.  In the book, he would fight with a knife, and a gun, also got the impression he was just a normal looking guy that trained under artifically increased gravity (kind of like Goku in Dragon Ball Z). 

The character in the game looks like he went under some artificial enhancements that made him look like a reject from Mortal Kombat, and since I have only bumped into him on the Citadel so far (haven't played through the entire game yet) it appears he is purely a sword wielder, and if Thane can give him a kicking while having only months to live, then I don't give him much hope for when I get to smack him about with biotics.

The most infuriating Kai Lame encounter is yet to come for you then.  Just remember, don't take it out on your controller and screen.  Deep breaths... deep breaths...

I only hate him because of the scenes, make the rest of the characters look idiots and he is weak in the play.

Every time Kai Leng pops up I think Bioware got confused and started using someone's horrible fanfiction.
