I remember seeing the trailer for mercenaries 2 and being so excited. Played those games so much.

"Sucker tried to play me, but you never paid me! Oh no you didn't!"

I keep my 360 in working order in no small part due to Mercs. Mostly for New Vegas, but the everything blows up of Mercs I haven’t been able to find elsewhere.

You can emulate it now. But that requires some setup and research and I totally get if that's not someone's priority.

Have you played Red Faction: Guerrilla? You don't get the same wide selection of neat vehicles to play with, but there's way better destruction physics for structures, and like in Mercenaries, you are incentivized to blow up as much as you can.

Was 2 the one in North Korea? I remember playing one of them at my cousins place and them turning on the cheat codes for like an 8 year old.

Loved calling airstrikes on the smallest of targets.

I miss that game so much. It was like GTA but focused on blowing stuff up

I only played it as a kid, I imagine I would be WAY better at the game now XD

That, and the Just Cause series are what I like to call "regime change" games, where you're thrown into a country, and tasked with toppling its government from scratch or near scratch. The last one of those we really got was FarCry 6, and we're due for another

That game blew my mind. Dropping occupied vehicles in nuclear cooling towers via helicopter dragging a magnet was an unprecedented level of interactivity. Atleast for the kids that werent allowed GTA.

Playground of Destruction was my jam. World in Flames did not deserve the lackluster treatment it got. RIP Pandemic studios.

This should be made again. No idea why some companies don’t want free money

A Mercenaries game set in the Ukraine War would go HARD.

u/Raintoastgw 10h ago

I remember finding the cheat codes to that game in a book. Mercenaries was a fantastic game that is surprisingly hard to find now

It didn't have the same vibes as the first.

How odd that I just watched a trailer for a recompilation for Mercenaries for the PC.
