I wish someone would make a french/italian/dutch/sweedish etc game about one of there conflicts (or fictional) in there language with fucking subtitels and cultural shit I would not be able to understand.
So I could, like, you know, LEARN something.

I'm always amused when is see huge populations of people treated like a single-minded entity that has the exact same interests, values, and preferences. I can't tell you the number of times I've been told that I should or shouldn't like something, because black people do/don't like "X".
I bought Army of 2 hoping for a stellar co-op game I could play with my husband. Within half an hour I found the characters so ridiculous and annoying that we quickly sold the game. It's not just Europeans that found the characters distasteful... I think that many older adults such as myself and my husband found them very hard to relate to as well.
I hated the characters, but then again I'm a parent. My friends, all aged 21 to 25, LOVED the characters.
My friends are kind of dumb.

There too busy sucking the largest markets proverbial dong
Ubisoft (French), Guerrilla (Dutch), Dice (Sweedish) and there all making "American" wargames.
Italians are to cool to make videogames apparently.

Jim, why are you playing Kane and Lynch. That game is horrible.
Army of Two was bad also, though not AS bad. At least the co-op was good. It played fine until one of the two morons opened their mouthes. Blek.

I'm European too, and I LOVE this game, one of my favorites, and some friends think the same. Maybe EA NorthA. have to think twice what they say ;)
SelfQ, I'm from Sweden. And seriously, you don't want to listen more to our language than neccesary. French and Dutch are nice languages, but Swedish is horrible... ^^'
@X1251x
buddy, that's not even bad. Some posts from certain writers on here are regularly awful. I don't know if it's because I'm an English major, but i would be embarrassed.
Having said that, one or two mistakes like the one you mentioned are going to happen. You aren't the only one who notices it, and it doesn't affect the story, so calm down.

Second'd. There's nothing better to suck out the tension from a scene than Swedish, Skånska in particular. BTW When talking to your friends, do you also switch to English automatically?

Hippies in general didn't like the game. And Europe has a lot of hippies.
But don't worry, force feed them enough and they'll get with the program.

i forgot...the douche bag with kids "i have kids so im an adult" you remind me of Brian on the Family guy episode where he finds out about his kid..did i mention your a douche bag?
Just make 40th day, I dunno, good. Then I will look past whatever stupid college guy I'm playing as.
Because the first one just wasn't good at all.

I think that Stockholmska is the worst, but I live in Skåne, so I'm used to Skånska (don't speak it though. My accent is all effed up xD)^^. I usually talk to friends in Swedish, but sometimes I use english because I express myself better that way.
But yeah, nothing disrupts the mood of a movie (or anything else) more than our beloved mothertongue...

Can we make Fanboy Friday about these dickheads that have invaded Destructoid this week?

Well, Some people who have been here a while just don't care about a tiny ass microsized avatar that you can barely make out. Whoever thought avatars this small was a good idea should go play in traffic, might as well not have any.

well I'm from Eurpe and the videos of the gameplay put me off enough not to get the game... so he prolly has a slight point :-)
I honestly thought they were going for the "frat boys killing shit" angle. How else do you explain all the headbutting and inane dialogue? I half expected to hear the word "spocious" at one point.
I'm a European and I don't entirely disagree.
I LOVED running around like two frat guys fistpounding and shooting thugs to ribbons. I LOVED the whole mercenary thing, angry (badass) looking masks etc.
The one thing I didn't like was the wonky gameplay and gunhandling. Bring on 40th day. I got your back bro!

I thought Army of Two was ridiculous and tasteless, and fun. I don't play video games for the cultural significance. I play video games to KILL SHIT.

Last I checked there are countless games that appeal to both American and European audiences. Most of them aren't FPSes, though.

I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't forked out 50 spuds for it, but it's brainless fratboy nature was great fun for me.
Since when did Europeans account for taste?
j/k ;)
I would never touch a game like this one my own, it looks ridiculous - not in a Peewee Herman way, but a Howard the Duck way.
Now, if it were about two classy gentlemen with tophats going berserk when you shoot off their monocles in a place where rich people hang out, I'd play that.

Errrr, do you not know how to speak English and because of this having a go at someone that does?

This is fine, it means "I AM still yet to try Amry of Two". The way you're suggesting he says it is also fine, "I HAVE yet to try Army of Two".
I'm = I am.
I've = I have.
Both are fine.

For those asking about Kane & lynch I actually found the PC version very enjoyable. It looks pretty decent and it is basically Michael Mann the movie. It has a lot of rough spots, and the second half takes a dive compared, but it is a fun game for fans of that style of movie I would think.
@HEL105 -agreed.
Corps are just that retarded (and lazy) that they are surprised that there are differences -
Frito Lay tried to sell Doritos in the Asian Market. And failed of course.
The majority of the population of Asia doesn't eat cheese.
They are lactose intolerant.
So FritoLay made shrimp flavored Doritos just for Asia. Try selling shrimp flavored Doritos here. You might as well package it in a colostomy bag.

I have to say that I do expect my blood and carnage to be wrapped in a something slightly more sophisticated than Army of Two was. Even if sophisticated violence is something of an oxymoron. I just roll my eyes at the standard macho BS you find in so many shooters.
Imagine the euro equivalent of the Salem and Rios. Instead of two party boys who "bring it" they will be boys who "come to make party". And the soundtrack? Uber euro drum and bass club electro dance mix. I find that far more tatsteless.
I tuned out the character dialogue and lackluster story in the first AO2 and instead just focused on the gameplay. It was a mindless shooter purchase for me and was actually better than I expected by leaps and bounds. Hopefully they won't break up the shooting with more "storytelling", just give us more bad guys to perforate.
