You know. The ones who NEVER seem to have EVER played their own games?
Here I am playing Mercenaries 2. And I notice a few things.
Helicopters? FUCKING UNCONTROLLABLE. Even a twitch to the joystick makes them fly in loopdieloops. And they're slower as fuck from the last game.
Boats? Have fun trying to shoot down helicopters. When you pan up the camera goes underwater. WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA? You can't see ANYTHING.
Oh, and I love how the controls are all fucked up now. Like, you USED to be able to get out of a car and leave your gunner in it, or vise versa. Nope. Took that shit out, when you get out of the car EVERYONE gets out. Plus, you can't access support options on the move, nope, you have to STAND STILL! 'Caus your character lost 25 IQ points and can't multitask anymore.
Christ is the AI the everfuckingloveofit stupid. Now enemies will shoot you with rockets and kill themselves to kill you. Oh, and civillians will constantly scream and run into the street to throw themselves onto your car's speeding bumper trying to decorate it like fuckin hood ornaments.
Oh, and sniping is impossible, because enemies disappear at a certain range. WHY? The 360 is plenty enough capable of handling enemies in full line of sight.
Plus, you STILL can't reassign controls. Now I remember why I love PCs and consoles suck.
Because PCs are inherently superior.Would it KILL these morons to TRY THEIR OWN GAME. And be like, all, "Ohshit! You know I just realized, but it seems pretty stupid to have the AIs with RPGs to shoot the ground five feet in front of themselves!"
Nope.

Reading that, I had to think of Ballad of Gay Tony.
Seriously, is it even supposed to be possible to control a helicopter in GTAIV and it's "Tales"?
Moar like LOLERCOPTERS AMIRITE?
Yeah, seriously, how the fuck are people expected to use them? My brother was amazed that I could fly through the sky scrapers without crashing every five minutes.
GTA: Where your character handles like a car, and your car handles like a pregnant eighteen wheeler.
It can't be that hard to program good controls.
Not sure how much that applies to a high-budget title like Mercs 2, but suffice to say the programmers usually know exactly how awkward their product is, and it was still the best option they had given the circumstances.

This was a sequel. They already HAD good vehicle physics. And then they fucked it up! I mean, seriously, all the vehicles in Mercs 2 handle like friggen RC cars.
Do ya?
Do ya?
Oh, this is the fucking CAKE man. And this cake ain't no lie.
The end of the game...is a bunch of fucking
QUICKTIME EVENTS!!!
