(for some reason, don't ask me why)

i think in a vacuum maybe but compare it to the way concord or forspoken or highguard were marketed and it's like. yeah i get it even if i dont agree with the sentiment that these games were anything more than bargain bin garbage lol

Army of Two is one of those franchises that had some intriguing ideas for the overused (at the time) coop cover shooter genre but it had some of the shittiest execution and marketing. It's easy to see why it never fully took off, but still had an appealing core somewhere deep within it.

I've always been fascinated by Army of Two and want to play it someday (when doing so doesn't become a pain in the ass with my broken PS3 disc drive) but I cannot imagine it's actually good.

M60 bling for me, ak47 with drum mag or m249 for my friend. BACK TUH BACK!!!!!!!

That was EA's orders, but Lair of the Shadow Broker, Arrival, Citadel, the corpherius DA 2 stuff, Shake in DA:O.

We gotta get one for Kane and Lynch

Not a particularly good game but I did enjoy playing it with my friend when I'd spend the night at his place.

Ok, but that one was actually good. Granted, it has the co-op with a homie buff, but I remember it being surprisingly gay.

The kids are alright.

On a genuine note, still baffled me when I played it earlier this year knowing it was the same studio behind TimeSplitters and Second Sight. At least some of the dialogue is so laughably bad it's never left my head. "I am a carnivore, a REAL meat eater." Is something I think about once a month.

These were OK. I do admittedly miss cooperative shooters that were as much about the cooperative part as they were the shooting. All you really get now is live service slop

Where's the Essays on Lost Planet 2? One of the greatest Coop Campaigns I've ever played? WHEN IS CAPCOM GONNA FIX THAT???

Army of Two doesn't even have Piggy Bank on the OST

And Army of Two didn’t let you smoke Al-Qaeda knockoff terrorists as Tony Yayo

What i hate the most about the "I miss when gaming was good" is that, they talk about it, WHEN PLAYING SAID GOOD GAMES, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE GAME, JUST PLAY IT AND BE HAPPY! WHAT ELSE YOU WANT? A SEQUEL THAT'S THE EXACT SAME THING? CALL OF DUTY HAS YOU COVERED ALREADY THEN!

This came up in research years ago, but as far as I was able to tell, Army of Two pioneered hideous weapon skins and gun bling

Spent a lot of time trying to convince my xbox friends to play WoW with me after playing this with them because "it's the same, one of you tanks and one of you does dps." Never worked out

Good lord, I recently watched my friend play all three of them. She physically snapped the discs of each one as she finished them.

My friend's dad rented this when we were in middle school and told his mom it was rated T for Teen. Then we played it for about six minutes before someone said "fuck" and his mom made us turn it off.

Only the 40th day is worth playing

lmao "things I enjoyed as a child" is so easily confused for "things that are very good" which if they knew better they'd know that ACTUALLY the things I enjoyed as a child are very good, because it was the SNES/ps1 era. better luck being born in time to enjoy super metroid, kids!

i was put on this earth to make one of these about brink

It might not be a great game, it's mediocre in everything, but it's also solidly made and a fun romp to play with your friend if you both enjoy militaristic cockwaffling, aesthetics and are somewhat versed in that culture. Which I do.

Kinda wild that we had a game series about two white American PMCs who wear novelty masks just war-criming their way across the world and we were all in agreement that they were the good guys.

Even as a shitty high schooler the fact that the game made racist suicide bomber depictions a frequent enemy was stomach-churning.

That's why I like oboeshoes. All of the nostalgia, none of the "this was secretly a hidden gem all along"

this is sort of what the Mouse Detective game ended up being

Pee yew

Now someone do Timeshift (I’m sure this is a retrospective that exists already)

I watched a video of 2 people playing it and it seems fun if only because you can make them do stupid guitar noises at random moments

When someone makes a vid like "Heavenly Sword was a lost gem im the pre woke game era"

Army of Two, GUN, and BLACK are the burned into my mind as games that I saw at the store as a kid but couldn't play because they were M-rated but when I grew up have heard nothing whatsoever about them lol

they did. It's called Gears of War and it was the exact same game

Its when they start reappraising Army of Two Devils cartel we should be really worried

I mean the Army of Two sequel was fine but one of the funniest Army of Two "reviews" I read when it came out was from a review blog that called the game gay anti-religuous propaganda hidding in the shooter genre. Nah dude it was a mid at best grey cover shooter in a time infested with the things.

'hey man do you wanna play the game where they keep joking about us being gay in the trailer? no? okay then. sorry for bringing it up'

The average zoomer has only played one shooter in their life, and it’s Fortnite, which has some of the worst gun feel in the history of video games. Next to that basically anything is going to feel like Quake 2

Is this an ironic thing of like, they miss when gaming was good which was before Army of Two

it and the 40th day were the GAYEST games you could get for the 360 and I'm sad they actually cut the 'hit the interact button 400 times to make Salem and Rios kiss' easter egg

I love it when a game ressembles the blurry idea of "game" I played when I was younger and full of wonder

They’re okay games, Wish more games did what the do with the guns. You wanna put a dragon barrel on a lmg? Sure! Wanna make that thing have no stock at all? Go right ahead! You could make some wacky guns and it was a fun system. :)

Can't lie, I do fuck with the first two games but I am definitely looking at it from a pervert Fujoshi perspective lmao

[when there's an army] this shit better not be of two

The original Friendslop

Fun fact, this was one of the first games I ever owned as a teenager, followed soon after by Too Human. My tastes are permanently ruined it is what it is.

The children yearn for the 6-8 hours coop campaigns

reminds me of the post going around about the live action Flintstones movie being like "we used to make things in this country"

Ok but I actually did love this one. Idk, playing it with my friend was a good time.

a friend and i stayed up an entire week of summer to get all the achievements in army of two, yet it's so completely forgettable i recall nothing from the game except the fission mailed achievement.
