So the demo is out, I haven't tried yet, have anyone here tried it? if so, impressions?

I'm downloading it now. Very curious on how it turns out.

My guess is it will be poor.

Just got finished playing the demo co-op with my brother. We were not happy. They removed the fist bumps. They cut down on weapon customization (less than both the sequel and original). As people that appreciated the asinine universe of the first Army of Two, we are very dissapointed. I can only hope that these were things not included only in the demo, but I don't have much hope for that.

Not all is bad though: better enemy ai, much better graphics, tightened gun play, neat co-op scoring system, bigger set-pieces. If you want a new co-op shooter that isn't Gears of War, you should definitely check out the demo or a rental of this game.

if they removed fistbumps, I see no reason why it isn't just some co-op third person shooter. Wait...

Yeah, some of the personality is gone, but it seems like it probably is a better game. Weird trade off. It made me more curious to see the final product. I at least think it looks more interesting than GoW: Judgement. Something about that feels off.

EA: "TRUST US IT'S A GREAT GAME!" *Shutters the development studio* "What? Oh it's gonna be great. Preorder today!"

Saw some youtube ad for this with some guy rapping alongside the action... oh man.

Definitely seems like a competent 3rd person shooter. It just didnt draw me in though.

If you took it as farce, the first game was immensely enjoyable as long as you had someone to play it with. I actually liked the feel of the shooting more than other console shooters, which is to say I actually liked it at all.

Yeah, I played it with my brother and had a good time with it.

I thought it was okay. I liked the destruction allowed by Frostbite 2. But the gunplay didn't really feel all that great. Dunno, pretty average I guess.

Absolutely. I played it couch co-op with a friend and we got way behind the character motivation basically being to make a shitload of cash. The game was a bit rough, but I had so much fun with it. When Army Of Two: The 40th Day came out, we did the same again and had even more fun. It was pretty polished and the controls were way better, it was really violent in a hilarious way and a lot of the story beats with the decisions you make were actually really entertaining. Anytime you could sneak up on enemies and zip-tie their wrists, we'd do it and then use the in-game paper-scissors-rock mechanic to decide which of us got to curbstomp their head. It was totally psychotic and the hardest I've laughed while playing a game in a long time. Just from a pure fun perspective, I hold those games in a very high regard, especially 40th day. And it was so enjoyable seeing the progression of the weapon upgrades in both games. So much good stuff.

So it was a little bittersweet to see a new game that looked like it diverged from that. No Salem and Rios broke my heart a little bit :(

It seemed like a competent game. I might get it just to play as Big Boi but apart from that, there isn't anything particularly unique.

I've played the demo its not something that's worth 60 bucks to me. The demo was alright, but it didn't feel like nothing special.

I'm surprised. It isn't terrible. I will buy it on a black friday deal or something.

No fistbumps? No sale!

this or infinite? i'm having so much trouble making up my mind.

little help guys?

@ripelivejam: Army of Dos. It's a no brainer!

bros before... i'll see myself out.

Dude, Army of Two: TFD was pretty good.

I'm disappointed that they removed the fistbumps
