Anyone bought this yet? I'm looking to pick it up down the shops tommorrow.

It's out already in America today though I believe?

This topic should be in gamer's hangout and not only in windows since it's multi platform, that said I like this game not as much at the first one but work fine. I love blowing **** up :p :laugh:.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Correct, this is a multi-platform release.

Not for nothing, but if he posted it in the GFW section, and listed PC specs and has a PC box cover, I would assume he meant the PC edition and not the other console editions :D

That being said, if that is what he intended, the thread should be titled Mercenaries 2 (PC) if it will be an official discussion topic :)

And since the PC version doesn't come out until tomorrow I believe, nope, haven't gotten it yet.

Indeed I did.

I understand, but I feel that if a game is multi-platform then everybody should be able to speak freely on it, despite what platform they're using it on. That's what we usually do when it comes to multi-platform games, so we might as well stick with it.

Because of course that is how long it is going to take you to walk or drive to the store to purchase it and get back home...

Just a friendly reminder since I see you are a fairly new member that we do not allow discussion of pirated software or warez at all, so keep that in mind. Not saying that was your intent, as I said just a friendly reminder. ;)

All I know about this game is that the song from the commercial ("Oh No You Didn't") is pretty awesome and you can download the whole thing from the game's website.

OMG YES :laugh:

My friends who aren't even gamers love this song. They'll be so excited! :woot:

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

It looks good and I'm tempted to buy it, but I won't. I recently started university and I can't let this game pull me away from my studies. It's so tempting. Must... resist...

It's a pretty terrible console port guys. No 5:4 and no 16:10 resolutions.

[WastedJoker]

Work block nearly all gamer websites - can someone post a meta-critic breakdown of review scores/conclusions?

A few reviews I read said it was basically GTA + more guns - engaging storyline = good fun that should last a couple of weeks.

Oh fantastic. :/

:rofl:

That sucks if that's true though, pretty poor for PC?

sounds like the Just Cause port (i.e. terrible fps)

Which platform?

[WAR-DOG]

I just wanted to know if Technoviking knows they used him as a character in the game? (

)

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

Does anyone know why they keep doing these kind of games in 3rd person? I think 1st person would be much more fun, just keep 3rd person for vehicles, I really don't like my character on screen, imo it doesn't fully immerse you in the game. If you just see the weapon your holding any nothing else that makes it more realistic and fun.

Haha, that video is hilarious (Y)

[spaceelf]

Yeah, I do wonder what's up with not having 16:10 support.

And it is buggy. Within roughly the first half hour I encountered two major bugs, and theres only one place (only accessible when not playing the game) in the PC version (hint: it isn't the manual) to figure out the action icons for hijacking. Honestly, I can't figure out if they were just smoking something there or what. The wierder part is, since I got past the beginning I haven't encountered all that many bugs.

Overall though, I love this game. I haven't had a 'digital crack' experience (where I played pretty much nonstop for at least six hours) in a long time. I imagine this is one of the rare games I'll finish within a week.

Xbox 360.

[Richard Hammond]

Oh god this game is awful its a bad Xbox 360 port, the controls are all wrong, definately a game to steer clear of.
