Selling my soul for mercenaries?

[Senpais Panties]

TL;DR: I'm going to sell my soul for a 3DS and Mercenaries.


So I have yet to buy my 3DS and I was about to sell my wii until I found out they where only going to give me about 30 bucks for it. So I kept it.

I had a dream I had about 300 dollars and I was going to spend it on a 3DS and Mercenaries then I woke up.

My birthday's coming up and I still might not even get it.

Then I saw a commercial of Resident Evil: Mercenaries on TV and I raged for an hour about how I dont have it yet.

-sigh-

I think that would be a waste of a perfectly good soul I mean the 3DS is cool and all but in a few years the price will drop and even less time than that you may become bored with playing Mercenaries.

Also, what if something better come out and then you will not have a soul to sell what will you do then O_O

I got a 3DS the day it came out, because I was a bit afraid that it would magically become a huge hit and be sold out everywhere like the Wii was for the longest time. Well at least I was wrong lol.
I watched a review on Mercenaries 3D before I actually went out to get it, and I think it was a bit too harsh. The only problems I've noticed is just the Duo mode from local play can be slightly buggy, and I can't stress how slightly it is. I will rarely have an instance where an enemy will just kind of disappear and reappear, but other than that it's just me not being able to do a Melee prompt when it shows up. I haven't done Duo online though so I can't really comment on that.
At first I wasn't really drawn into Mercs that much since the game really holds your hand through it for the longest time, but I got into unlocking costumes, getting high ranks to unlock more stuff such as skills, etc. Leveling up skills is fun too. The skill stuff is really simple, but I find it rather addicting for the most part, though I wish there were more to unlock since I'm only missing one. You equip up to 3 skills to a character, and when you successfully complete a mission you'll get skill points that level it up to improve its effectiveness, and when it reaches level 3 it comes with a bonus ability. For the most part it's pretty easy to level them up.
Not sure why people complain about the frame rate issue that will occur when an enemy is at a distance. It usually doesn't occur unless the enemy is completely out of range and just not a threat in general so I'm not tripping out over it.
Controls transfer over pretty well for the most part, but it took me a few minutes to get a hang of it. Button prompts you have to press when getting grabbed though still kind of confuse me since I always forget which button is X, Y etc. Kind of hard to really take advantage of the moving while shooting, but it's really good against tougher enemies such as Executioners and whatnot since you can spam shots easier without worrying too much about getting hit. Running while reloading is great though.
Game lacks levels though, and doesn't have as much of a Horde mode as I was expecting. You can only hold out against a wave of 15 enemies tops, and it's only available on two levels. The first one is relatively easy, but the second is slightly harder.
Overall I think it's a good game to be released early on for the 3DS since it definitely shows off what it's capable of, and it has me really excited for Revelations.

Yeah I mean not just mercenaries but revelations too and Zelda. Who know what else they're going to come out with on 3D

I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like it, but I've been visiting my brother this week and he has it, and once I started playing, I played for 2 hours straight with Pilot Chris and Casual Jill!!! biggrin

I really wish a character's alternate costume came with a different loadout or at least different melee attacks, but other than that I love Pilot Chris the most so far. I've completed all the levels, but I just haven't brought myself to play as Rebecca, Krauser, Barry, or Claire for some reason.
I either play as Pilot Chris, either Jill, normal HUNK, and normal Wesker.

I haven't been able to play as Krauser. I'm no fan of the bow and arrow.

looks like i might have to buy me a 3ds to the graphics for that game is amazing  

[Hikigane_Trijen]

I am going to get the new PlayStation hand held, actual console grade graphics in a hand held device lol you cant really beat that even if you have 3D. It gives you more options and allows developers to take hand held gaming to a whole other level.

if anyone did get it how is the game

I will be honest with you, to me its just like playing Mercenaries on the 3DS is kinda like playing it on the PS3 or 360, just made to fit the hand held.
