Oh, no, you, DIIDN'T (or: mercenaries 2 comes out soon)

[DevilWearsPrada]

This game is gonna kick ass.

The first one should've won some kind of ultimate awesome award, and the second one looks as good if not better.
(Also, best looking nuke i've seen in a game so far)

[darkvare]

i liked the one in cod 4 more and i never liked the first mercenaries

[Nick]

I love that commercial, I downloaded the song off their website.

[Dimnos]

You didnt like the first Mercenaries?!?! :confused: Inconceivable! It was like Grand Theft Korea

[darkvare]

i dunno why i tried liking it i played every charachter and many missions but i still couldn't

[pac-man]

The first was a lot of fun. I haven't seen any gameplay footage of Mercs 2, but the screens look great and a lot of the previews are glowing. I'll get it if I hear some good reviews.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I going to try it when it comes out. If I can shoot something with a rocket launcher, blow it up and then have a skull shaped cloud pop up I'm down.

[LordSappington]

I've had that damn song stuck in my head all day.

[Nick]

I've had it stuck in my head for like a week. I wish they would release a full song of it. :'c

[LordSappington]

They did, it's in the downloads. Right click it and save target.
Or you can download it from the myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=407058861

[Nick]

I meant a full length song version, not just the commercial version. I demand more!

[DevilWearsPrada]

Mercenaries 1 was one of the best last gen games. The sheer amount of open gameplay possible is insane, as is the level of catastrophe possible.

[ElPila666]

Isn't mercenaries 1 the game that michael cera was playing in the movie Superbad

[liquidstatik]

that song totally sucks

[Guitar Woman]

it really does, guys

[DevilWearsPrada]

That was one of those pseudogames kids play in movies. Or 25 to life.

[Nick]

Yeah, it looks like 25 to Life.

[darkvare]

ain't that the gateway 2

[DuFresne]

I just watched the Gametrailers review. The guy with the mohawk sounds like Assy McGee. I haven't played the first Mercs so I'm not sure if that's surprising or not.

[Dr. Boogie]

I played as him in the first, but I could've sworn he was easier to understand. I can't remember if they actually tried to give him a swedish accent or not.

[executioneer]

guys mechwarrior mercenaries 2 has been out for like a decade, i don't know what you're talking about

[Dr. Boogie]

Long Tom :lol

[Ploxtrot]

I love that commercial, I downloaded the song off their website.
So did I. :)

[Fathom Zero]

ain't that the gateway 2

It is and I fucking love the Getaway series. I want the 3rd to be out already.

[Ant10708]

So hows the game? Has anyone played it yet?

[Dimnos]

So hows the game? Has anyone played it yet?

Mercs 2? It fucking rocks :rock It really shows what a total crap fest GTA 4 was lol

[Dr. Boogie]

Easy, now.


I'm playing it now and I'm enjoying it. They've added a lot more content to what they had with the first game. Plus, it's even easier to get loads of money you can then blow on attack choppers and luxury cars.

The one thing I don't like, though, is the new hijack system. Before, you just hit the use key in the right spot and boom, you hijack the vehicle. Now, though, you've got to go through a button prompt sequence like in RE4, or else you just get knocked away (which is a bitch when you're trying to steal a helicopter). Worse yet, instead of showing you which button you need to press, they show you an icon of the button's function. It's just a big pain in the ass.

Also, the auto aim is screwy, and can't be turned off.

[executioneer]

Long Tom :lol

haha i think i put 4 of those on a mech once, if i fired them linked it made me automatically shut down from overheating :lol

[Dimnos]

Worse yet, instead of showing you which button you need to press, they show you an icon of the button's function.

Really? What are you playing it on? I had it on the 360 and it would flash the button you needed to press.

[Dr. Boogie]

Then it's a PC-only problem.

The other reason I don't like the prompts is that late in the game, they leave you no time at all to decide which button to press. If you want to steal a Chinese/AN vehicle, you have to know what buttons you need to press and in what order, or you'll just get tossed right off.

[Dr. Boogie]

And Nihlson is hard to understand. It's not so bad when he's speaking lines written specifically for him, but when he has to say some of the generic stuff that the other two say, he sounds like a drunken swede.

But I love some of his taunts, particularly his no ammo ones:

"I don't deserve to be out of ammo!"

"Ammo! Ammo! Why does god punish me so!?"

[Nick]

I thought Nihlson was a drunken swede.
