i've put an ungodly amount of time into playing RE5 mercenaries that by the time i was moving on from it, i wanted the ability to choose loadouts to make certain characters suck a lot less (chris & sheva BSAA, for example). seeing mercenaries 3D come out with all kinds of spins on the winning formula, the knowledge that it would never arrive even on console soured me bitterly. i love RE5 mercenaries like you would not believe, and that's because RE5 has the right mix of intensity and the best graphics & animations of games 4, 5, and 6.I liked Mercenaries 3DS. The new map isn't great, and the rest of the game is a cut down version of the previous games, but it's fun enough if you like the mode,
Though it makes me wonder, what would you like to see more? A stand alone Mercenaries, or a new Outbreak?
Oh? I've not played the PC version since I had Win 7. Does it not work on Win 10?
wouldn't matter to me none if i got a stand-alone mercs like that or it was part of a greater game. as long as it had a lot of people to play with online. RE8 mercs could've really benefited from an arena-style alongside a partner, and RE4 mercs, judging by the chapter 1 village battle, would be fuckin' epic in co-op.
never was into outbreak myself, but for people who are, i'm glad some nerds are running a private server that enables everyone to still play it online. it's never made sense to me that capcom has never re-released that game on any platform, merged file #1 and file #2, and just printed some quick cash for it.
as for RE5 not working on PC, i just don't know. i have a windows 8 PC that i played it on fine. but ever since buying a new pc a few years after the fact, which has windows 10... it just doesn't launch. i don't understand it. the game window pops up and instantly closes. not a single one of the community fixes work. capcom even pushed a patch this past february which i thought would have solved it... and it didn't. if anything, it broke the community fixes. you can find threads and posts all over the place complaining of what i've articulated. it's worth nothing that the original GFWL version for RE5 can be installed via the betas option on steam. that one actually launches, you get to the menu, but GFWL is so broken that if you click on any of its widgets the game freezes and the process needs to be terminated.
makes no sense.
