...........at least you made up for it buy picking up a copy of Orange Box; the single most perfect collection ever assembled in the history of interactive entertainment.

it is a beautiful game, good ol'aparthied simulator

# Or even better, use the flamethrower
Set fire to some long grass and make sure they're all downwind. Super fried mercs.

I do like that game, though the AI is dumb at time. Very dumb.

# It'll just take a bit of grinding to get into it I feel
But it was pre-owned for only a tenner, so can't really complain

# It's a bargain at £10.

More turn up after you have been away from an area for a while.

# ^this
I thought the game was seriously flawed.

I'd rather play "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC" or "Fallout3"

Hell, I'd rather play though Crysis again

# That and the constantly having to fucking travel around everywhere.
I think if it had had the quick travel function of Fallout 3 it might have actually been less utterly terrible.

And also some better crafted missions, the whole emergent gameplay thing really didn't work so well on the actual missions. Was just a case of 'Do you want to play the mission, or travel miles to hear a plan your buddy could have told you on the phone which might make the mission marginally easier'

# There does seem to be, go do this
Buddy has a better offer... go help buddy, get killed, another buddy comes saves you, get killed again. Cry

Turn off, play The orange box instead.

# Use the buses, fagt.
(I helped save b3ta! Ttssattsr, Wed 19 Aug 2009, 14:55, archived)
# The buses were useless because the bus stops were so far apart and you had to keep going back and fucking forth to the mission briefing, to you buddy, to the mission.
Using one of the boats ended up being the quickest method, but it still took ages.

If it was more spaced out but with denser bases and enemies and you could actually clear out enemies it would have been a lot better.

# It's a good game if you get over the repetitive stuff and just have fun with it.

# This.
It's terrible, really- repetitive missions, broken AI, Malaria etc- but I do quite like it in small doses.

I'd like to know what Jack thinks of the Jackal and his overbaked philosiphies of war and humanity.

# I like the bit which makes no sense at the end where there's the option of heroic sacrifice or heroic....urrr....wait what?
(Jeru War and Piss, Wed 19 Aug 2009, 15:00, archived)
# I was dissapointed with the end.
It was just text cards.
No real boss. In fact there no real bosses anywhere in the game.

That said, it was a fun ride first time through up until that point.

# Well I suppose you could class all those mercs ganging up on you as a boss fight, because it was certainly hard.
At least it was until I realised instead of trying to fight or use cover you could just run away down the river and then lazily snipe them.

# First time I faced them I just shot them all with the grenade launcher
then just walked off with the case while they all layed around groaning.

Second time on a harder difficulty they are just impossible.
