Yessss love the new review format! Can’t wait for the new year of great reviews Sonny Jim.

Vietcong 2 is, for me, the single greatest example of where a sequel takes away everything that made the original so good. As someone who grew up with Vietcong as one of my nostalgic games, Vietcong 2 remains my biggest disappointment in gaming to date. I still remember being let down by the promise of a North Vietnamese campaign, only to be given 4 "bonus" missions instead with no substance. The worst kind of sequel.

I hope I am not too late. I loved Vietcong and I played it as a kid. It's a 2003 game yet it has so fucking much in it. I think I completed it 3 times and I would do it more but old software is not friendly with new software. Kind of hard to play if the game crashes even if there are some sort of small fixes. Thing is for a 2003 game it's amazing. You have a good looking game with gun or environment sounds that feel well researched. You even have to classic Vietnam music playing. You can hear more if you visit your room in the trenches. This is why I love this game. It feels immersive and it has good variety of missions. Between missions you are in your room and you can visit firing range to test weapons. In your room you have your radio where you hear some stuff and classic music. You can read files about lore or guns for example. Sometimes you are solo, sometimes you have couple teammates and sometimes you have a squad. All of them have a purpose. For example providing radio support, point man, ammo, medic or just carrying heavy machine gun. For a 2003 game it's fucking insane how well made it is. Even today games lack this kind of stuff. You would think games today has stuff like archives and some do but not too many. I don't dive into every game but I don't remember the last time I saw archives about lore and guns. It's just stuff games don't bother doing today. I played Vietcong 2 but it felt like completely different game. After couple missions I stooped playing. For a guy that completes pretty much everything even he sometimes forces himself to finish it I think it says a lot that Vietcong 2 is not great.

as some one who only play games in the hardest difficulty, i gotta say vc2 did it job better than vc1, it fixes a lot of issue vc1 had like the stupid health system. Although it no more a game that resembles "vietcong" but rather some cod bootleg, i still prefer vc2 for its more generous AI and gun play, be honest the tunnel mission in vc1 was stupid, especially on max difficulty

Been waiting along time for this

The amount of references to FMJ and other Vietnam movies had me loving this.

COOP multiplayer on Vietcong 1 was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, there were some fantastic community maps that involved rescuing pilots, defending outposts etc. Calling artillery down on yourself to save your team etc. It was amazing.

Great vid. Salokin is great too. It's the highlight of my day when you post a new review. Love the FMJ quote

I love your videos. And this is no exception.I really don't know why but your way of analysing and explaining things is incredible. Please keep making videos like this one

Played Vietcong for years in mature coop communities which one hardly finds these days. Some more serious ArmA clans might be an exception. The sequel had always been a letdown and nobody ever joined the open VC 2 servers, so they were shut down and everyone went back to the good old VC. If not even the most hardcore VC veterans enjoyed it, there must've been something terribly wrong...

LawBreakers is still a great game, and everything I expected from CliffyB [and then some]. It's just a shame that Nexon is running that damn game into the ground so hard. Even now, they're content to sit back and whine that PUBG somehow destroyed their game. I'm sure they spent more on that interview than they ever did advertising LB... my hopes at this point are that BKP can break off from Nexon and start over with a major 3.0 patch, alongside an Xbox One release, new characters, and some kind of way to get new players in (like a Battle Royale mode using the zero-G mechanics to make things a little more interesting on the outer edges of the map).

+Brupcat Overwatch had a pretty strong start, but sadly I found myself saying that quickly after launch. Support has just been dreadful for the game, and Paladins was pushing quality updates left and right. OB64 is a gigantic mess right now (not for the "muh P2W" nonsense everyone is wrongly crying about, but simply because it isn't a good system), but I'll probably be checking it out again once the dust clears. I highly recommend Paladins even in its current state above Overwatch, it offers far more content and depth to the basic mechanics that Overwatch got right. Also, unlike Overwatch, it has decent level design.

Considering they ran dirty bomb into the ground and kept it a Perpetual beta even though a lot of it is f****** finished and yet they release content as if it were full game why not just call it the full game you lazy bastards!

Vietcong 1 was amazing, one of the best games I ever played completely ahead of it's time. They really fucked up with the second game.

Hue is where I come from in Vietnam. Feels kinda bad that there aren't really any good games set in the Vietnam war. Good review Gggman. You should bring in more special guests to review games with you. The second voice really does add to the overall entertainment.

Congrats Salokin.:)

i think he needs to review XENUS 2 WHITE GOLD

Never got around to playing this one - even though Vietcong was literally one of my favorite FPS from the early 2000's. I loved the MP in the first game, so I wonder did Vietcong 2 have MP and if it did if it was any good? Sigh, I'd love to see a Vietcong reboot/remaster one of these days.

Aww it actually looks cool watching it

Defending that US base near the beginning was painful, since the draw distance (due to the "fog") was actually a bit shorter than what some enemies could shoot you from.... How do they even screw up something like that?

this looks pretty okay. i guess you have to play it
