Yes

Another game best enjoyed on the original Xbox

is this the C-tier and below turn-of-the-century shooter thread?

>>11229690
I remember there was some commie faggot who’d have a melt down every time you tried to discuss this game a couple of years ago

Bumping in his memory

My parents are fucked up hippies, and were weird about guns and army games. Like my mom to this day is convinced that if we got too high a score in lethal enforcers on genesis that the army would draft us to fight in the middle east as if it was connected to the internet in some enders game type shit. In canada no less. One time my friend brought over mercenaries and I showed dad how you could commandeer civilian vehicles and he freaked out and said this is too much like what's really happening in the world and not to let mom see this shit. Fucking faggot.

>>11229959
your father was right
brainless war shooters games are worse than coom shit

>>11229690
awesome game. No game even came close to accomplishing what this game attempted to do until MGSV

>>11230007
So what's good then mario and tetris?

>>11230026
RPG's

the north section was *chef's kiss*. hardly any games have gotten this sort of play style right since.

>>11229905
>C-tier
Mercenaries is A-tier. You could demolish every building.

Diamond encrusted wheels-

I hope you're talking about real rpgs and not japanese ones, aka the original movie games

>>11231765
Yes, proper CRPGs

what the hell is "babysitting"?

>>11229690
Lack of a PC port is tragic

>>11229690
What do you guys think of the sequel? Me personally, I really enjoyed it

>>11234178
Can't say because I never played the PS2 version.

>>11229959
>I showed dad how you could commandeer civilian vehicles and he freaked out and said this is too much like what's really happening in the world
Your dad's a wise man.

>>11234178
Immediate disappointment. My friend and I were huge fans of the first one and Mercs 2 felt like a massive step down.

>>11229690
What were the gameplay changes if you picked a faction where the main character also spoke that language? I know the girl spoke chinese, the main guy spoke russian and the black guy spoke korean.

>>11229959
they were right, just a bit early with the genesis
that wasnt a conspiracy. they were actually doing exactly that in the states throughout the 00s
they literally use playstation controllers to pilot drones to this very day. prolly saves massive time on training, since xXxMr.Sandman420xXx already has his thousand hrs in on the equipment before he even enlists

>>11234246
Their dialogue would be subtitled, that's it.

>>11234178
So bad it's good. Or translated to zoomer speak: jank-kino

More actual game design than pretty much every modern open world game.
You actually had to think about how you were going to tackle objectives, use your resources carefully and etc.

Its the rare open world game where acquiring a helicopter is a big deal, and stealing one means it's something you want to be very careful to keep your hands on.

Even now, I can't think of many games which used their resources and open worlds like Mercs 1 did.

>>11229959
Your parents are incredibly based and you're a brain rotten golem.

>>11234178
I played it for 30 minutes and hated it. Loved the first one though

>>11234178
> oh no
> oh nooo
> OH NOOOO
> yo yo yo
> oh no you didn't!

>>11229690
This game is really good I was following a speedrunner and it's crazy how this game felt like a PC game. And the craziest thing is that it's console exclusive

>>11232153
bodyguarding
>>11234178
still pisses me off to this day that they had the MOAB, supposedly the ultimate weapon, summoned by a thrown gas grenade, rendering it completely useless. why the hell couldn't it be a laser designator or a satellite uplink? genuinely baffling oversight

>>11234178
fucking around and causing mayhem is more fun in this one but the story is way better in the first one

>>11234246
I wish they would've done more with this

>>11235938
>Its the rare open world game where acquiring a helicopter is a big deal, and stealing one means it's something you want to be very careful to keep your hands on.
they were really selfish with the helicopers in this game
you could only order 2 through the mafia shop, and none of the actual good ones

>>11229690
Why did the free aim tps die off?

>>11238227
not cinematic enough like over the shoulder
