Bah, fuck Quick time events in the ass. All they would add in hijacking vehicles is a higher chance of faliure and no reward if you pulled it off. I'm VERY happy with Han Solo running along the barrel of a tank firing a shell and hijacking it with a single button press thank you very much
This game better have good unlockable bonuses.
Mercinaries is one of those rare games where all these completley seperate mechanics and freedom to do whatever you want just feels so natural and works nearly perfectley. Can't wait for Mercs 2, my expectations are very high
I am looking very forward to this game, the first one was a lot of fun. My only gripe with it was it never seemed very practical to use all the special air/artillary strikes you got (save the ones given to you to use for free). The cost was just way too high to use for anything but novelty value. I hope that was looked at in this iteration.
Mercs 1 was incredible, I knew a sequel was coming but it basically ticks every single fucking box the first game didnt tick, and that tickes a load.
The only reason I'm hyped for this game is because there are Rastafarian Pirates.
Yes.
The ONLY reason.

And QTEs? Yes please.
Grenade launchers? Motorcycles? More tanks? Cool new characters alongside the returning crew? My own PMC? Sign me the fuck up.
Explain yourself
Man, I don't even play Mattias when I play Mercenaries.
Why was it so good
If I like throwing helicopters at other helicopters in Hulk UD will I find similar levels of destruction in this game?
It says that it has them in the OP...is the OP incorrect?
I don't know.
Does the idea of fuel-air bombing a company of tanks to death sound fairly destructive?
What about carpet bombing a city, watching it crumble?

Kind of. I mean obviously, you don't get to do that. You're human.
I'm compare it to GTA mixed with Assassin's Creed in a war zone. GTA because of the free-roaming and vehicle jacking, and the expansive weaponry, Assassin's Creed because it's a bunch of assassination missions basically (52, though, instead of 9; one for every card in a playing deck).
But it's much, much better than AC.
Or I'll be forced to wait until I get a PS3.
I'm looking at you, PI studios.
Last I heard, there is online co-op.
I'm just confused as to how people can look forward to QTE sequences in upcoming games. I literally groan out loud when they suddenley appear in games I don't expect them to. Personally I'm happy to watch my merc headbutt, knee in the crotch, stomp on the spine then hogitie the card I'm chasing. That's my reward, an awesome little cutscene and it gives me time to watch my merc look badass and give me a couple of seconds to see what's going on around me so I can plan ahead.
Tripping off the barrel of the tank thanks to a botched QTE won't be fun at all.... unless he slips and lands split-legged on the barrel, hehe.
Seriously?
PS2 version?
..................Really?
Why, you doubt me?

I thought the PS2 and Wii versions were canceled.
Part of that is, of course,
So looking forward to this. Mercenaries 1 was one of the most pleasant unexpected surprises i've ever had in gaming.
Honestly, only game I've seen make them annoying is Bourne Conspiracy.
Yes, there is.
Or if you mean it the other way...
Yes, really.
Basically the QTE you do are just minigames when you try to say, dislodge an annoying driver from his tank and the two of you struggle to get the upperhand.
So it's not like a QTEs, just a minigame really, in that you know when to expect it, and doesn't just jump at you all of a sudden.
WHAAAAAAAAAT?
How did I not know this immediately, or years ago when I played M1?
What the fuck scarab what the fuck.
Is there a day before 'day one'. Because that's when this was bought'd.
Just get it on PC. Or buy a 360. Or ANYTHING but PS2.
The PS2 version of Mercs 2 supposedly uses the PS2 engine that was used for Mercs 1. So at least it'll look that good. And when it released on the PS2, Mercs 1 was impressive.
It's like having a choice between cake with little flecks of shit in it, or no cake.
Go with no cake dude. No cake.
Get the good cake at a later date, when you have the capacity to not have flecks of shit in it.
Fuck. Yes.
My computer has enough trouble running half-life 2 already.
And it can't run Portal or Team Fortress 2.
And if I aim to get a 360 or a PS3, I'll be able to play it by...
November.
So I'll just have to hope that the PS2 version would be good. I could live with downgraded graphics.
Fuck online co-op. It's better than nothing, but what it really needs is some motherfucking split-screen co-op.
The way you say it seems like split screen co-op should be the norm. I'm guessing you have a roommate or sibling you share the system with.
Find a friend. And if you don't, I'll play with ya.
Split-screen co-op should be the norm, and I do have a roommate to play with along with several friends. I also have friends online I can play games with, I just prefer actually having someone come over and sit and play with me. (I'm not saying split-screen should be the only co-op, because any form of it is awesome, I'm just saying it should be put in more games because I enjoy it most)
