The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
What's going to be better, Mercenaries 2 or Far Cry 2?
Mercenaries, i really don't know about farcry anymore.
Seems more like a graphical showpiece then a actual game. But thats just my opinion
I'm pretty certain I'll like Mercenaries 2 more myself. I'm a sucker for Co-op. I'm not sure how well receieved it'll be, though.
And in comparison to Far Cry 2? Well a lot of people are just gonna go with Far Cry 2. They'll love that game.
Mercs 2, like Mercs 1 - will likely be sorely underrated and Far Cry 2 - like Far Cry 1, whilst still being a great game - will probably be over rated.
Thats my two cents.
FarCry 2 definately isn't just a graphical showpiece, The first FarCry at the time was,but Crytek isn't making this one ,its pure Ubisoft. I've seen how the gameplay works with the day/night cycles and the way you do your missions,it really looks like a 100 fold improvement over the first game,and a ton of fun. Mercenaries 2 I have no doubt will be real fun too,but I can only play open world games for so long before they burn me out and I gotta take a break from them again,usually never end of finishing them either.
That is quite the difficult question. FarCry 2 looks amazing graphically, but Mercs 2 was nicknamed "Mercenaries 2: World in Frames", but it probably looks good anyway. I haven't seen any gameplay from either game, so at the moment I don't have enough information to make judgment. Wait until they are both released then come back .
I'm much more interested in Far Cry 2, as the original Mercenaries didn't appeal to me. Also, when I saw the video where the main character was punching the guy in the face, trying to pull him out of the tank, and noticed there was no blood, I checked the rating and it said T. Games like this shouldn't be T.
I would have to say FC2, the amount of options in that game is just sick. I liked the demonstration of M2 alright, but it looks like more of the same.
Far Cry 2 will be better, but not by much. FC2 is graphically astonishing game, but Mercenaries 2 looks like so much fun.
You have to be insane to think Mercs 2 will be better then FC2... sorry, but have you seen the gameplay of both? Both will be great fun, but FC2 most definitely will be on top.
Huh thought I posted here...
Anyway, I say Farcry 2 easily. Personally, it looks to me like Mercs 2 is only getting so popular because of the ability to drop a nuke and co-op. Otherwise, it looks pretty much basic (if I'm wrong correct me now and provide reasons because I was not impressed by the E3 demo). Farcry 2 looks way more indepth, graphically good which is never a bad thing (though it isn't needed as I stated before), and it's by Crytek. Crysis is one of the best FPS's out there, and the original Farcry was great, and hard, so that's something to also keep in mind

I agree, sort of. :P
That is a very odd comparison. Why don't we compare Mass Effect with Civilization: Revolution?
It's very hard to say which is better, in terms of two different games from two different genres both of which have not been released yet.
I'll pick far cry though.
Far Cry 2. It really impressed me at E3 with the day night cycle, gameplay, graphics, and strategy needed to be successful in the game.
I don't really get the comparisson really, other than them having guns and like.....grass?
They both look great!

It's not a comparison, just asking which one is going to be better in your opinion.
I'd have to say FarCry. Mercs really isn't my type of game. FarCry 2 had me ever since that 20 minute video that was posted a long time ago- the hang-glider made it a first day purchase.
No, but in all seriousness, I really want to explore the technology in FC2, and the gameplay looks just plain fun. Mercenaries... focuses more on explosions then variety, or at least that's how it comes off to me. FarCry, I only blow up what I want to; and if I decide to stay behind and snipe the entire enemy camp, that's ok too!
