Ойындар

Mercenaries has been dormant for nearly 15 years, but with the Xbox Series X | S and PS5 offering new capabilities, we’re asking the question: will Mercenaries ever make a comeback? Will we ever see Mercenaries 3?

    Can we all agree that this a game that needs another sequel With modern graphics? It was a great game and loved the bounty hunting concept and missions.

    i used to have a demo of the first game. I was amazed how much i could do even in the restricted region of the demo, it was like a complete game for me . Very different than any other game of its category. Little things like just climbing a slippery rocky mountain around a waterfall or hiding on a hill while u ordered massive airforce bombing of the village and watch the chaos escalating was SUPER fun

    i don't get it. alot of people say that but i don't they're similar at all. if anything, mercenaries is objectively better open world game design. i mean, there are more than 4 vehicles in mercenaries, and does an alcoholic Russian jet pilot flying a poorly maintained jet bomber drop nuclear bunkers busters upon your enemies in just cause? No, i thought not. have you ever interacted with the people who run New faction HQ's after you capture 'em? their some of the liveliest and interesting characters you'll ever meet. i can't even what just cause was about and i finished both games.

    A fantastic open world sandbox story game with absolutely no BS. I hope they bring this series back, however keep the simple, satisfying gameplay. So many great games have been ruined with tacky gimmicks and microtransactions. I still play mercs 2 on PC, and find it better that most the crap they churn out these days.

    Gaming Media calling Mercenaries a "GTA-Clone" was so annoying to see. the amount of freedom, player choice and creativity that this game encouraged is something that games don't do anymore. which is why comparing it to the confined, scripted and linear games from Rockstar Games was allways so offensive to me...

    Just Cause salvaged me after Mercs, who else here? Mercs 1 was the best. Mercs 2 was cool but it did not live up to the same charm like the first one did, though it had more funny moments. Some gameplay features in the second were improved, and the thing it did do better than the first was the depicting the story with more cinematic pieces, something we see little to none in Mercs 1 (mainly news broadcasts and in-game contract briefings).

    The best GTA like I say. In Just Cause, you're pretty much OP from the beginning, infinite parachute/wingsuit/explosives/grapple, it's Saint Row 4 tier. But in Mercenaries it's much more balanced, you can't spam any parachute or grapple to move faster than a car, so you'll still need to use vehicles to move, and the whole system of affiliation with an army or another was great. It's Just Cause, simply better.

    Dude, I think it and you say it. Any one of those companies that know how to make a Mercenaries game should be the ones either to make a new Mercenaries game or just do a remake of the first two. Fix them up, update them, make better and then give them back to us just like with the Destroy all Humans remake back in 2020. Both games need a remake for the modern gamer and for those who played them back in 2005 and in 2008 and EA really needs to let this happen, because they are not getting much love from me these days and a remake might get me liking them again.

    As much as I'd like someone to make a third one, I just know it won't recapture what we had. Which is the problem. That and the games were timepieces, a 3rd entry now would likely feel entirely different from the formula and writing of the previous games, there'd be no point. I wish Pandemic didn't sell their souls to EA.. too tragic
