Grand Theft Auto: North Korea

[Malak]

Or at least that's what I thought when I was playing Merceneries. Anyone else play this game for the Xbox? This is a lot of fun. Everything blows up!

It looked stupid to me so I wasn't interested.

It's completely open ended, not linear at all. Do whatever you want, roam the country, blow stuff up. Get good with different factions and they offer things from guns to vehicles to air strikes. It's a lot of fun.

Is there stealth? No game is free-form without stealth, that's why I'm waiting for Stalker.

I thought Mercenaries sucked...

Drive to this end of the map, kill someone... drive across map again... repeat.

...yay...

Yes! I just did a mission that offered a bonus for not being spotted. Of course after many tries I could not accomplish this, and I don't know why.

Because you were spotted perhaps?

Seriously, how the hell would they know if you were spotted or not?

 

[Malak]

I was behind a hill with no russian mafia in sight, so I don't know how I was spotted.

You don't play shooters too much, do you?

I bought it a while back and played the hell out of it for a few days. Quit playing, but I will go back eventually.

Yeah I couldn't put the controller down

 

[Nothinman]

I played it for a few days, but got bored with it. It was definately better than GTA:SA though.

 

[royaldank]

I started playing this last night. Seemed pretty fun. Only did the first 2 missions but it was pretty cool. I'm looking forward to playing it some more this week.

I've made it through the first two suites of cards (clubs and hearts). You get a new map for the next two suites.

 

[Malak]

I'm just borrowing it but I think I'll buy it, it's tons of fun. I never had this much fun in any GTA game.

 

[AntiEverything]

I wouldn't go that far. GTA is still king.

 

[laketrout]

It was pretty good for the first two decks and then I just lost interest. Not a bad game just pretty long nad the difficulty is really just "more guys and more tanks" But I had fun when I played it and will be a nice rainy dayer sometime.

It is GTA in NK though. And that style just bores me after a while....

Not a chance. Mercenaries is way better.

Yeah I got real bored with GTA, but this has more action. I just finished the first deck myself. I look forward to unlocking more vehicles, supplies, and air strikes

blaspheme.

Do they have jetpacks in Mercenaries?Hmm.

 

[Malak]

Who needs jetpacks? You get choppers and tanks! Everything can be blown up. It's you against the North Korean army. Nonstop action!

So far the coolest moment was the Ace of Clubs. Dropping the bunker buster on that tower was insane. At first it hit and nothing happened, and I was thinking, "I guess I need to try it ag-" BOOM! My character covered his head as the car I was sitting behind flipped into the air over me. It was crazy! Then I had to chase the Ace down and knock him out to get out of there.

Note: Cluster bombing is dangerous, don't do it unless you can run FAST.
