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.

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.

I will have the game in 1hr ;)

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.

-Spenser

OMG YES :laugh:

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

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.

Meta-Critic - Xbox 360 Version Scores Below.

Critics: 76 (based on 24 reviews)

Users: 8.1 (based on 66 votes)

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.

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.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
