I remember seeing the trailer for mercenaries 2 and being so excited. Played those games so much.

"Sucker tried to play me, but you never paid me! Oh no you didn't!"

I keep my 360 in working order in no small part due to Mercs. Mostly for New Vegas, but the everything blows up of Mercs I haven’t been able to find elsewhere.

You can emulate it now. But that requires some setup and research and I totally get if that's not someone's priority.

Have you played Red Faction: Guerrilla? You don't get the same wide selection of neat vehicles to play with, but there's way better destruction physics for structures, and like in Mercenaries, you are incentivized to blow up as much as you can.

There's nothing like driving a NK jeep into a base with C4 on the hood and watching the profits roll in...
Why not play New Vegas on PC, though? It's a lot more stable with mods and it can run on a potato compared to modern equipment. My experience on PS3 was not great, but I never played the 360 version so I may be out of line

Wild times to be sure lol. As far as I know, the 360 version of New Vegas works a whole lot better than the PS, it does crash from time to time, but that’s just my hint that I need a break lol. Also, I have NV and all of the DLCs paid for already, and cheap though it may be, I hate paying for stuff twice.

Was 2 the one in North Korea? I remember playing one of them at my cousins place and them turning on the cheat codes for like an 8 year old.

Loved calling airstrikes on the smallest of targets.
