Army of Two Memes, Fenix Wins
Much love, Rios. Much love.
I’m in the mood for some Army of Two memes. You’re probably not going to find many out there. I think I’m one of two people that played and enjoyed all three Army of Two games anyway. The other is my brother. And if you thought you were the other person that played it than I think you’re probably my brother. In all fairness, Salem and Tyson are still better than Kane & Lynch (since we’re talking about second rate Xbox 360 duos).
I feel like on the spectrum of buddy shooters, Army of Two falls much closer to Gears of War than K & L. They aren’t awesome, but K&L 2 made me want to chew through my thumb skin. But I had to get those achievements so I played it anyway. How many times have you sold your soul for achievement points? Jskellington182 (I’ve done it over 136K times). After those games I feel like taking a cold shower and reassessing my life plans.
Still, Army of Two deserves more credit than it gets, IMO. There’s a lot of fun customizable weapons, and the teamwork is fun. I remember when they first announced it WAY back when (before the first entry). They talked about how much you needed to rely on another player. They oversold it and it scared people so they dialed it back to a cover-for-cover sort of gameplay. It’s still great… I just wish there was an Army of Two: Hardcore version where one of you loses your arms and the other his legs, and you both have to work together to battle through the levels. Don’t even get me started on the water levels! Okay, fine.
I guess that’s why it’s good that I don’t make games.
Welcome to The Geek Lyfe. Now my grandmama ain't the only one callin' me nerdaaay.
I love writing, gaming, and any combination of the two. I love you, too.
