Pardon us if we fail to sound particularly interested during this post. The above video for Mercenaries 2 almost made us fall asleep and now we're all grumpy. From what we can see, Mercs 2 will be another generic shooter with a second rate storyline. The only good thing about the trailer? It had a release date attached. The game will arrive on shelves on August 31st. Will it be worth picking up? Doubtful, there are plenty of games due this year that promise to be more worthwhile.

That trailer actually got me quite excited, while yes Ill probably be playing something else, it looks like something I might actually consider, a list of games which stuff like Haze is quickly dropping off of...

it didnt look that bad. Wow...ps3fanboy have been so agro lately towards games that arent even released yet? Dont knock it till you try it. Bias is never good, try to be neutral.
This and Haze have copped it they arent even close to release.

Wow, what a terrible description for the video. A generic shooter? Do you consider Grand Theft Auto to be a "generic shooter" as well? Because Mercenaries is that style of game. They've been working on Mercenaries 2 for a long time, it's probably really good.

Hope that was sarcasm Jem. Did you even play the first one for PS2? It was actually a very good game and I enjoyed it just as much as GTA (This game is basically GTA, but with war and airstrikes!)

This game will be as "generic" a shooter as the first one was. And the first one was a hell of a lot of fun; the combination of GTA mechanics with pure destruction got me hooked for months, and I have played through the original Mercs several times, which I can't say of many other games.
I think this will be just the right cup of tea for me...

Looks pretty good actually, some of the gameplay footage we've seen in the past has alot of destructible environments. I also like the way you deal with people in tanks.
Plus, who doesn't love white trash dudes with mohawks in monster trucks?
