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.

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
