Deja vu all over again
Yeah, I know, I talk a lot about Gears of War, incidentally someone has tried to point out that GOW = God of War and GEOW = Gears of War. Whatever man, save it. So I had a chance to take a brief sniff at Mercs2 and I gotta say,,, it's pretty decent so far. It moves along good, the game play is good, AI is well balanced, kinda looks like Far Cry, or reminded me of it. However, for a second when I was playing it, I thought I was experiencing deja vu.
Mansion?
When you get to the twin staircase level, it's just like the inside of Mansion on Gears. I don't know why this is, but it seems to be a trend that's happening. Games are starting to "bite" on other games. Just like when rap started surging in popularity,,, don't bite my rhymes. Personally, I think it sucks and I hope game developers will knock it off. I don't want to be engaged in a game and then have a familiar scene pop up from another title, only slightly tweaked, it's deflating and destracting. I had to shut her down last night at that level and throw in Gears and chainsaw some fools. Now I'm back in Gears mode thanks to that scene from Mercs2, hopefully I can bring myself back to Mercs2 and give it a second chance. I gotta say thanks to Mercs2 though, because I haven't ran some GOW in a while, and I'll be damned if chainsawing locustesess isn't as fun as ever, can't wait for GOW2.
