Vietcong 2

[MRG]

Greetings all,

No, this isn't a review, so don't worry, i'll not bore you.

I managed to get my hands on a retail version of Vietcong 2 yesterday. While true, this game is a few years old now, I still never had a chance to aquire a copy & after how much I loved the original Vietcong and the expansion that came a little later, I was very much looking forward to playing Vietcong 2.

Well, I lasted all of around 15 minutes before I gave up on the game. Simply too generic, not to mention it's a massive system hog & for what you get, it's obvious that the games engine is highly outdated and not optimized. I thought the cinematics were decent enough, but the game itself was a really big let down.

Good thing I only spent $5 on the game, but I wish I could get even that back. I wish they would make a high quality game based around the Vietnam war. Somethign with next gen graphics & sound. Oh, & it has to have Gibs and swearing & "working girls" or it'll not be authentic.

Well here's to hoping...

Its one of those very famous pictures from the vietnam war, like that one of the villagers running from a napalm strike.

Its some SV dectetive or other conducting the summary execution of a VC suspect in Saigon, if memory serves.

Thats correct. I watched the B&W video of this awhile back. Moments after the pic was taken, the shooter pulled the trigger, killing the man instantly via a shot to the head.

Why did you post it?

 

[Absinthe]

It's a great pic.

 

[Krynn72]

Its a video game section.

It's a pic which is not only famous, but also has to do with Vietnam. Vietcong 2 is a vietnam themed game. So I posted a pic that depicted Vietnam in a post that is posted in the games section about a vietnam themed game. I guess you wanted to get technical, so I *should* have posted a pic which showed the actual ingame gameplay in the post that I posted in the games section about a vietnam themed game called Vietcong 2.

My bad.

The first time I saw that image I thought the gun was photoshopped, also it looks more like a label gun D:

I remember playing Vietcong 1.

I was walking through the forest and I'm suddenly dead. You know what the NPC said maybe... 15 seconds after he finds me on the ground?

"Watch out for the traps."

I uninstalled the game afterwards.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

LOL, I can't seem to stop laughing.

I'll make it up to you.. I just need to find a game to review now...

I considered buying it but after my favourite reviewer at PCGamer gave it a crappy grade I never bothered. The first one was awesome though, easily a favourite.
