I think Im buying this but I have no idea about most of this game. Didn't pay attention to it at all. Reasons Im buying:

1. It comes out sooon. I havent bought shit in a while

2. I love games where you can shoot and blow people up

3. Co-op

What is the multiplayer like in this game, besides co-op? Anyone got any info on this?

  I just bought Too Human and I really shouldn't buy another full priced game again so soon... but DAMN this looks like a bucket of fun.

      Too Human is NOT worth a purchase. Beat it in 10 hours, don't think it's worth a second play through.

      This game a lot of exaggerated backlash that I don't think it really deserved. It's a pretty game which is a lot of fun to play. The cutscenes are a bit cheezy but still fun to watch (I feel). Co-op is incredibly fun and overall the game is definitely worth the purchase in my opinion. The game is fairly short, but it is designed to be played multiple times (and the game changes a bit when you play through again). The real pull of the game is the deep combat system... tons of loot... and character development. It just became really cool to bash on this game (because Dennis went a bit nuts on message boards etc). But I'm really enjoying it.

  Ok the game is like this. Imagine GTA. Now imagine GTA where the main character is a mercenary in a war-torn country and that machine guns and sniper rifles are his light weapons. Now imagine that mercenary can and does hijack heavy military vehicles on a regular basis. Finally, imagine that he has a wide variety of air support on-call essentially at-will, provided his bank account is big enough.
  
  That's essentially Mercenaries.

    Don't forget you need fuel reserves! Game is alot of fun but it's definitely lacking in enemy AI and pedestrian AI.
