True, although I could never get alot of replay out an action game, unless it's somthing like a GTA type. The only games I've ever bought were sims or strategy games were the outcomes are changed and the replay level rasies.

Well it's definitely a great game. It's a little hard getting used to the controls, there's quite a few and they're all ****ed up.. or maybe I've been playing too much Halo 2 and am used to those. You can't save and roam around before you take down the first card person, so I did that.. it's pretty sweet taking him down then calling for extraction. (I managed to hold in my desire to kill everyone, since the bounty is cut in half if you kill the target) After that I comandeered a humvee, picked up a gunner and fought my way across the map to Pyongyang airport. I hopped in a chinese jeep so the gate would open for me, but unfortunately there weren't any planes there. :( I've only done a couple missions so far, but from what I've seen so far it's worth buying. Back to playing. :eek:

Zakath
01-11-2005, 11:48 PM
Haha this is definitely an awesome game. I've been driving around for a couple hours now, trying to find some hidden **** (blow up statues, find and unlock supply drops etc).. I finally unlocked the Sniper rifle and the H3 hummer. :lol: The H3 isn't that great though, it looks like an H2. I want to unlock the sports car I've seen in the previews.. :eek: It's lots of fun to plant C4 on the hood of your car, drive at something and then hop out and detonate the C4. The explosions are great.

Aw man this game is ****ing awesome. I think the missions are much better then even GTA: SAs. There are missions you go on for each faction, then (usually) separately you get intel on some of the 52 targets. Occasionally a mission is to take down a target, but usually they're separate things, and if they are the same thing then you'll have another object as well. Also on mostly every mission there are bonus objectives which earn you more money. I have over 1.1mil stocked up for when I really need airstrikes or vehicle/supply drops.

Anyway I decided to go after the six of clubs. After hunting his position down (intel only reports the general area), I charged in with a Mafia pickup with a gunner on the back. There was a shiitload of North Koreans running around, so as my gunner is taking them out I'm trying to evade fire from the NK tank. Just as the truck is about to explode, I hop off and make a dash for the tank. I shot the gunner and then hijacked the tank (it's a sweet animation when you climb on the turret, run up to the hatch, open it, drop a nade in, then hop in). Just as I was getting things under control, 4-5 choppers came flying in. I bailed out of the tank, and quick called for an anti-air supply drop from the Mafia. They dropped a heat-seeking anti-air weapon on my beacon, and I managed to blow up 2 of the helicopters (the third one managed to evade my third missile). Hoping for the best, I ran over to the target, took him down, and loaded him into the nearby NK jeep. I then made a wild dash through the war-torn streets being pursued by a couple helicopters. I finally managed to lose them, and jumped out near an open area. I quick called for target evac, and just as I loaded the target into the helicopter, I had to run again because now the South Koreans were attacking me.

Of course, I could have just ordered in any of my various available airstrikes, killing everyone including the target then waltz in with my digital camera and take a picture of his body for confirmation.. but that halves the bounty.

And I'm still on the first suit.. where most of your targets are un-military trained businessmen. :eek: If you weren't sure whether or not to get the game.. I hope I convinced you. :cool:

No ****, the game is about destroying stuff and occasionally capturing/killing 52 targets. Hey, guess what? There's a ton of different ways to destroy a ton of different objects/vehicles/people. It's not repetative at all, each target you have to take down is in a different situation.

I accidentally killed my first target. :( Somehow in the firefight, I rammed an enemy jeep into him and crushed him. I decided not to retry it though, he was only a number card anyway.

I think it's understood that you blow things up and kill people in this game.

The number of objects doesn't mean anything, the number of vehicles doesn't mean anything, and unless I'm playing a story-heavy RPG, the number of people usually doesn't mean anything. All that crap is just filler.

You're right. You know that whole "shooting people" thing in Halo is just filler. So is the "driving around" in GTA. Who wants to drive around? Obvious filler. Where's the fun in it?

Shooting people with a huge collection of guns is filler, Driving around in one out of a hundred choices of cars is filler.

I don't have a single problem with lots of guns or vehicles, unless there's not a solid core to the game. From the way it looks to me, this game just seems like a bundle of cool features.

You could, but you'd be wrong.

The story is really good (though not perfect), it has a well thought-out battle system, the dungeons are all very different and each has it's own set of puzzles, every item has it's own specific use (unless you count the slingshot/bow trade), most of the boss battles can be described as epic, and there are mini-games and side quests like being a mask salesman or hunting golden skulltulas or racing Epona.

Yes, those are fillers (except for the puzzles), but you'll notice that was only one point.

Can you not read? I never called driving around in GTA filler, look back, Zakath put the words into my mouth. I said having "tons of objects/vehicles/people" (notice I'm saying the number of things to do something with, not the action of actually doing it) was filler.

tsl_ste

so your saying if it had 1 car, some peds that were needed for the story, and 1 gun, it'd be a good game?
the whole reason why GTA is liked so much is the free-roam aspect of it, if you take that away, it'd just be another medi-core title.

i'm not going to say something stupid like "if you'd play GTA, then blah blah blah", for all i know, you could have played and enjoyed GTA. but i find it hard to belive that you can't see that in GTA's missions, their pretty much is only one way to do something. the missions are varied, but their is only really one, sometimes two routes to do a mission, most of these involve driving > shooting > driving away from the police.

if that was the game, it wouldn't be as popular as it is now, the whole point is the amount of things you can actually do in the game.
i'm not saying they arnt fillers, because yes, they are, but also they are sometimes more than that

we are both comparing two completely different games on "fillers". Zelda games are always well thought out, and the weapons your saying all serve a purpose, only have a purpose to do a puzzle, which leads to a secret, which is a filler.
you use these in the game for the main story, what? once? twice? they may even re-use them again in the last few parts of the game.

i'm not saying i dislike Zelda, i love OoT, and pretty much all of the others. but i'm telling you that the people who make games, put them in games, because they need to now-days, otherwise we would have thousands upon thousands of the same basic game.

i'm not going to insult you and make a comeback to you asking if i can read, and i'm not going to argue with you. i am stating my view on why i think a game needs to have fillers.

No, I'm saying without a solid core to a game, filler is nothing. Not that filler is bad, not that it shouldn't be used, it just needs something to back it up. Hopefully this will be the last time I say this.

The impression I get from games like these are a bunch of really cool features with a weak core backing it up. When I play them it feels like rushed, low-quality, cheap entertainment and I can never shake the feeling the game is only half-done. That's my problem with it.

Why are you arguing about GTA and Zelda? I never even mentioned GTA until my last post, and I didn't even say anything negative about it. I only mentioned Zelda when someone asked me what my favourite game was.

But just because I feel I have to defend my favourite game, the weapons in Zelda are all unique, that's what's good about them. Although you can use them only to solve the puzzles to get through the dungeons and only use your sword to kill enemies, you'd be missing out on on an entire dimension of the game. There are different combinations of items that work well against different enemies.

Edit:
i'm not saying i dislike Zelda, i love OoT, and pretty much all of the others. but i'm telling you that the people who make games, put them in games, because they need to now-days, otherwise we would have thousands upon thousands of the same basic game.

I disagree, I think if all the fancy stuff got cut out of games, it would force developers to be innovative with their titles.

You're a mercenary (obviously), and you're in Korea trying to capture/kill the 52 North Koreans that the US has posted bounties for. They have assigned each of the 52 targets a card (King of clubs, seven of hearts etc etc). You take missions from different factions such as China, the Mafia, Allies and South Koreans. Your actions also affect each factions opinion of you. If you kill a bunch of South Koreans, they'll start to regard you as hostile and will shoot at you whenever they see you. If you want to get back in their good graces you have to attack their enemies. There's also quite a few different hidden things like GTAs hidden packages around the map that you have to find to unlock items in the Mafia store, cheats or money. Such as: destroying statues of the North Korean leader, destroying Chinese listening posts, finding blueprints and treasure.

Jeez, guys, it's all in opinion. If one doesn't like a game for a reason, and if that one could back their opinion up, then he or she atleast makes an arguable point. But you guys are fighting over two - almost completely - different genres of console gaming. "Mercenaries" may lack the story-driven gameplay, along with the magical and rather well-done art in "Zelda : Ocarina of Time," while OoT definitely lacks the action gameplay and the overall non-linear structure of "Mercenaries."

I disagree, I think if all the fancy stuff got cut out of games, it would force developers to be innovative with their titles.
if all the fancy stuff got taken out of a game, eventually, game developers wouldn't have anything left to go on, it'd all have been done.

when i read your posts, it looks like your saying anything that is different than another game is a filler.

example: psy-ops (sp?)

this game would just be another platform or whatever, but the psy abilities put into it made it different (ok, this and second sight, both released around the same time)
to me, this is not a filler, this is something the game developer decided to put in the game to make it more intresting, and fun to play.

ok, so your not saying that fillers are bad unless the game has a solid core.

since when do games need a solid core? i can name many great games without.

the reasons i used GTA was for a simple reason, it has a lot of fillers, i know it has. it dosn't have a core to it, but it's still one of the best games avalible on the ps2.
the hundereds of cars that you say are a simple filler, are there because it would be boring to steal the same car over and over.
the weapons in it can't be well thought out, it's not a puzzle game, it's a game of choice, they want you to be the character, thats why there are clothes stores, and thats why there are different types of uzi, shotgun, assult gun. they are there for your choice, whatever you prefare.

**** yeah. At least not everyone around here is a complete dipshit. Bel Acres probably got castrated at birth, thus has no interest in explosions, killing and overal violence.
Either way got it last night. Its more than fun. Love just runnin up to a bunch of people and killing them. There was this one bit i was just walking down the road and a missle came flying past and then a mini gun opened up on me so i got the chopper to fly low enough so i could hijack it. That was the best feature i have found with it so far. Good game recomend it to anyone. :thumb:
Yeah man, that's one of the sweetest things about the game... you're driving along and all of a sudden two factions start fighting. Random fights happen all over the place right in the middle of the street. I've had plenty of "oh ****!" moments when I turn the corner and there's 2 NK tanks massacring the SK.

I borrowed the game, so far it's soo good. I like how they omitted too much blood and gore from the gameplay(not that it could detract the experience). I'm playing as Mui right now, there doesn't seem to be much difference from the characters.

Is there custom characters, or do you chose from a group, or do they just give you one character you have to play as?

There are 3 to choose from. None of them really appealed to me but what are ya going to do?

I think being able to chose what your character looks like really adds to the game, but whatever. I guess i'm going to have to atleast rent this.

Agreed. I would of loved to have created my own charecter as I think the 3 your foreced with are rather lame. But it really doesn't detract from the game.

This game is getting harder and harder, and I'm only at the Ace of Diamonds. I was almost freakin done with the mission, and this faggot missile truck ran me over!! I had somehow luckily managed to blast my way in, destroyed the supergun, and then hijacked a tank and took out all the defenses around the King of Diamonds, so I get out and start shooting a few remaining soldiers.. and out of nowhere this truck plows into me. I was pretty pissed off. :mad:

I have a demo of the mission where you have to capture the queen of hearts. thats pretty easy, is that a mission that comes early in the game?

I think that's the third suit, I'm not sure.

Well, maybe they made the level easy on accountof the fact its only a demo. Or maybe its just a stop gap in the difficulty.

I don't know, but it's not really a hard game. The only difficulty comes from when they throw so much enemy troops/tanks/helicopters at you.

Iv'e noticed that, at the beginning of the level unless you make precise, planned and measurd moves you end up surrounded by 3 jeeps with mounted machine guns firing at you, multiple foot soliders and an APC with a mounted machine. The hail of gunfire can be withering.

A truly great game. :)

Haha, it must be an easy level then. For the 10 of Diamonds (not even a face card), you had to fight past 2 helicopters, an anti air unit, three tanks and a few soldiers/jeeps. So far out of the 25 cards I've finished, I've only had to kill three. Usually because I'm almost dead, still surrounded by enemies and there's no way I can get the target out into an area where I can extract him. It's a lot easier to kill then verify with your camera.

Old topic kinda, but it was the biggest one I found on Search.
(If there's a newer/more active topic lemme know, sorry lol)

I bought this game today, I had the demo but today I bought it.
This game is freakin SWEET...I only played for about 3 hours so far and got on here but I'm about to go play again lol
Just gotta say that everything is done so sweetly.
How far are you now Zakath BTW?

I havent played it through yet, but from what I did play its entertaining. Good enough to buy. Re-play value descent just because of the variation of which you can do things.
