Mercenaries-Playground Of Destruction

[Stephen]

Anyone play this yet? I just bought it tonight...so I am really hoping its as good as I have heard it to be. I rarely take a risk on games by just buying them....so I am really hoping it does not suck.

[Yojimbo]

Yeah I've been playing it all week. I'm deffinetly going to buy this one.

[Stephen]

Its pretty fun so far...kinda like GTA meets Freedom Fighters. Its really fun to call in airstrikes.

[Yojimbo]

Yeah it's deffinetly like a GTA: North Korea. Except that you can actually handle the darn helicopters and the gunplay is easier. I love the freedom you have in it, the physics, graphics, everything. I just wish they put online support in it that would make it a complete package for me. Oh well I guess they're saving that for Mercenaries 2.

Im suprised LA hasnt posted here yet. He seamed pretty hyped up before the launch date.

Oh-well.

I played this a few times in EB, but havent had the funds to pick it up yet. But it definately has that nice-flexible-gameplay that I know we have all dreamed of before. Where you can grab any enemies weapons or vehicals and use them against him.

Please, price drop come soon. ^_^

The only thing I don't like...its buggy somtimes. Sound kicks off. And you can get stuck. I was driving my humvee....ended up sliding down a hill...when I tryed to get out the humvee slid pinning me to a tree. The only way I could get out is by calling an airstrike on myself. ^^;;

I played it and even though I am into random acts of extreme violence.... it wasn't satisfying. The more I played it the more I got bored. I mean blowing up buildings is fun but if they would only let you blow up other cars and people it would be funner. Also make the cars more interesting and actually fun to drive.

Dude you can blow up cars and people. And also half the vehicles in the game are armored so they're obviously going to be slow and somewhat cumbersome.

[Noodles]

Ya, but your penalized by loosing money.
Money = Destruction
Destruction = Fun
=> Money = Fun

I guess I am too spoiled with GTA but it isn't as fun as it could of been. I do love the particle effects and the physics engine.

[Stephen]

No, your blowing up the wrong cars and stuff then. If you pay attention to what group your fighting, you get paid to blow up cars of enemy groups.

[Yojimbo]

Yup exactly and besides you can just save, go nuts on everything, then reload and it won't matter.

[Stephen]

LOL I did that last night when I was done. Called in a bunker buster on the South Korean Headquarters because they shot at me...*evil grin*

[Mr. SmartyPants]

i will not have to get a ps2

[Yojimbo]

Yeah I completely leveled Pyongyang one day with the fuel bombs. Man those things are brutal it's the biggest explosion in the game and boy is it fun to play with.

And Smarty it's only a game.
