I will happily and truthfully say I am enjoying this game a hundred times more than GTA4
also I loved mercs one more than GTA:SA at the time that those came out
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Aug 31, 2008
The sequel to the critically acclaimed Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Now set in war-torn Venezuela, the player again takes on contracts for various warring factions on a quest for payback.
say what you will but I love this game
I'm not just hating on GTA because its big name game and its fun to say you don't like it
I truly enjoy the merc games to any GTA game especially GTA4 because its was the most boring one in the series
The best parts of GTA4 are the cutscenes so GTA 4 is best when you don't play it
mercs is best when you paly and worst when you don't the problem is people just take mercs way waaay to seriously
I love this game too. I've played it a ton by myself and with my brother in co op. Even not doing contracts it is fun to run around with someone and drop airstrikes on random places and watch everything blow up.
I think people just need to accept games for what they are and not except every game to be a genre defining masterpiece. If people were not so serious about how good a game is, they would have a lot more fun playing them.
"kingmasters said:why not? GTA4 cutscenes are awesome but the gameplay not so much"The best parts of GTA4 are the cutscenes so GTA 4 is best when you don't play itI can't agree with that first statement at all."
mercs is best when you paly and worst when you don't the problem is people just take mercs way waaay to seriously"
Nooo..this game had the potential to be WAY more fun. As it is that stupid ass glitch where when I bring my friend into co-op we have to waste 10 mins going to all the factions and re-purchasing fuel upgrades and then stealing fuel and buying weapons for him is ridiculous. Combine that with the fact that sometimes it glitches the ability to rezz your partner and we have to repeat the whole process over again.
The entire fuel idea was stupid. It should have just been money, it would have been fun to decimate entire cities with some nukes but you cant....after you drop 5 or 6 you just have to go back and get more fuel again.
The story sucked and the voice acting was terrible, especially when the characters had about 2 variations of chat for the same action that they repeated over and over again. Also the quicktime events were the stupidest idea for this game ever, none of them are hard except for the one where you hijack the light chinese tank and most of them you just memorize after 2 attempted hijackings...This game was bad.
"well that's your option I love the gameNo, when I have a limited time schedule I don't feel like wasting 10 minutes flying to every faction all over the world to get my friend caught up and then having to do it over again because when they coded it they left giant holes everywhere.
you just take it to seriously"
