i think its awsome, why has everyone been haten on it?
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.
Why does everyone hate this game?
To list out my reasons:
- The controls are complete shit
- The graphics show no effort at all (look last gen)
- The story is absolute ass (pun intended)
- The dialogue and voice acting is terrible
- The gameplay itself (vehicles, destruction, shooting) is absolutely horrid.
And that's why I hate Mercenaries 2.
I'll judge it for myself eventually. My first impressions of the game is that it will be fun for a while. But I guess I could see the novelty wearing off pretty quickly.
But then again, maybe gamers nowadays need A+ games to have any fun.
I for one judge all games for myself. If all I did was follow the crowd and played the A+ titles only, I'd be robbing myself of so many games.
"Usually games are disliked for not being good. That could be why."Except this game is a flaming pile of rat crap.
"BiggerBomb said:"Usually games are disliked for not being good. That could be why."Except this game is a flaming pile of rat crap."
I'm confused. I just said it isn't good and you said I was wrong, because it isn't good?
I wouldn't say I hate it, but it's definitely not that great. I also think there are a lot of people out there who love it...
I don't like it for an array of reasons. It's quite buggy and it's not graphically impressive etc. My biggest complaint is that it really is exactly the same as the first game...the similarities are crazy.
I played the demo and was appalled. I loved the demo for the original Mercenaries and regret not buying it, but this game is just broken. It's just a mess of poor design choices and lackluster gameplay.
"To list out my reasons:Yep played the demo and was not interested. This game could have been 10x better in terms of visuals and destruction and vehicles if they would have just used Bad Company's Frostbite Engine.
- The controls are complete shit
- The graphics show no effort at all (look last gen)
- The story is absolute ass (pun intended)
- The dialogue and voice acting is terrible
- The gameplay itself (vehicles, destruction, shooting) is absolutely horrid.
And that's why I hate Mercenaries 2."
"To list out my reasons:That sums up my experience with the demo.
- The controls are complete shit
- The graphics show no effort at all (look last gen)
- The story is absolute ass (pun intended)
- The dialogue and voice acting is terrible
- The gameplay itself (vehicles, destruction, shooting) is absolutely horrid.
And that's why I hate Mercenaries 2."
The demo was fun, but it was also was just enough time with the game to know I'd be happier spending around $20 on it in a year than $60 now.
I played the demo. Just from that I can tell that this game was going to suck so I never gave it a shot.
"To list out my reasons:All very valid reasons. If this game came out in March 2006, when the 360 was just starting up, it probably would have been cool.
- The controls are complete shit
- The graphics show no effort at all (look last gen)
- The story is absolute ass (pun intended)
- The dialogue and voice acting is terrible
- The gameplay itself (vehicles, destruction, shooting) is absolutely horrid.
And that's why I hate Mercenaries 2."
They didn't bother a whole lot with the graphics.
They hate the game cause they don't like it, I on the other hand loved it it was a great game the controls weren't horrid, the gameplay certainly wasn't horrid *no worse then GTA* and the storyline was what it was *still no worse then GTA* as for that it had a great coop component that i loved.
justifies it in every way.
Haven't played it, never really felt an urge to.
I'll get to it eventually.
I don't think it's anything spectacular, but I'd imagine it's decent. It can't possibly be worse than GTA4, can it?
I played the original a dozen of times, it was definately my favorite of last gen. This one is a fraction of the game the first was. I only played this once, I've tried to get into it multiple times but it is so hard to do seeing how much they messed this one up. I still love the concept, so if the next one gets good reviews I'll buy it the day of release, but if not I'm gonna have to say goodbye to the Mercenaries franchise. Atleast I still have my old xbox laying around to play the first.
