stolen headline from evil avatar who stole(ed) it from Aeropause

When we got the news that Army of Two was delayed we thought it was to add more polish or to fix some minor glitches. Well according to Xbox World there is real good reason that the game was delayed...It sucks! To express to you how they felt about the game just read this small excerpt from what they had to say:


"As it stands, Army of Two is a juvenile swear-fest with clumsy controls, a story apparently penned by a seven year old who hates them ay-rabs, laughable level design that tosses you into a cut-scene every thirty seconds, sub Perfect Dark Zero graphics and the two least likable characters in gaming history. We?d rather play as a Bubsy the Bobcat/Raiden from Metal Gear Solid tag-team than these two douchebags."

damn another of those generic aye-rab hating swear fests of a game written by a seven year old for juveniles


meh could be ok for some co-op fun, god knows I like to slaughter aye-rabs (virtually of course)

Holy shit. That's the most negative press I ever heard.

Glad I wasn't interested in this game at all.
 
The game did look generic and boring anyway.

Too bad that people think this kind of thing is funny or at all pleasing to play. You wonder why there is so much ignorance in the world. Smart people (devs, maybe not EA devs though) shouldn't engender this kind of ignorance and try to capitalize on it. Multiplayer might bring Live to an all-time low as far as hatred and stupidity go. :x

Fixed. You miss the point of Capitalism.



As for the game, meh. I'm not a console gamer but it didn't look too good.

Out of curriosity, why is it that any game coming out now that has more than one major character always seems to get the term "two least likable characters of all time" brand? Can they not pick just one game to be the "worst of all time"?

Not exactly. I just agree with those who think it should be more heavily regulated than it currently is but this is clearly a discussion for the Politics forum. You miss the point of my post.
 
Damn... I'm hoping they pull a miracle out of their ass and make it more fun.
 
To be honest, I thought the game was going to be atleast decent but, after reading that little article I have doubts now.
 
The trailers made it look cool. But once you saw gameplay, it was seriously horrible.

Indeed. The vids on the official website made it look pretty well-polished but, of course they're going to make it look good.

If you found Army of Two interesting, Battlefield: Bad Company looks like it might succeed. Hopefully it doesn't end up like this game.
 
Damn. <Cries> I knew nothing about the story or anything, I just wanted a good coop game.
 
Well,we still got Left4Dead to look forward to.
 
Left4Dead hasn't interested me.
 
Well they delayed it a few months and apparently overhauled it a bit, (no more tampon in bullet wound action here) and tweaked some stuff.


We'll have to see this month.

not a singl piece of in-game footage. the game must REALLY suk ass if they dnt want to show anything in game in th trailr

Not as much as you vocabulary.
Anyway, why dig up an ancient thread?
 
B_Man dug it up for the trailer, I presume.
It looks terrible, and that's without even showing anything in-game.
/golfclap
 
Machiavelli describes mercenaries as useless soldiers who will boast their abilities outside of battle, but run when confronted with one.

I think that's an appropriate description of how this game seems to be turning out.
 
I have the game on the table unopened...
 
I was sat through that trailer wanting to believe it was all in-game D:

That would be what this is about then
 
I saw some in-game footage on the tube once.


Looked like crap.
 
I've been hearing it's good fun for coop play, but singleplayer (as if anybody would want to pick up this game for singleplayer) is crappy.

I think it'll be worth a rent.
 
Mc Bane's posts are fantastic, and Mc Bane himself too.

I always look forward to reading his posts, because they are hilarious, I always laugh my ass of them. Keep up the good work, friend!
 
I like it, co-op is great fun. Well worth a try.

This.


My only gripe is that the upgraded armors don't really do shit and the campaign is a bit short. I guess that's good though so the SP won't overstay its welcome.
 
If any of you guys are really wanting to play this for the Destructible enviroments, just get Stranglehold instead. fun game, fun game.
 
Nobody mentioned destrucible environments...This game doesn't even HAVE destructible environments, which is strange given the emphasis on cover.

Didn't notice any difference either, I'd expect that it would increase your armor while decreasing your stamina (i.e. not being able to run as fast).

... and the campaign is a bit short.

Oh yes, definitely. Just completed it, probably took me 6-8 hours. And there's an obvious "sequel-ending".

Anyway, I really enjoyed it all the way through. Nice and memorable maps combined with really fun and challenging firefights. The Aggro-system worked fine especially towards the more tougher enemies and bosses.

For co-op (also with online co-op) I'd really suggest this. :)

EDIT: I might record some footage tomorrow if I have time. That is if anyone wants it.
