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.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
