Army of Two will respond to fist bumping, poor European sales blamed for precisely that

TVGB: "As creative director Alex Hutchinson from EA Montreal takes us through a demo of Army of Two: The 40th Day at the Eurogamer Expo 2009, he explains that the original title sold an impressive 2.6 million copies worldwide, but the vast majority of these sales (70% to be exact) are from America. What does the ex-Maxis dev and the rest of EA blame this on? The tone of the game, apparently."

the first game was badass. I loved it. The best offline co-op game i've played in awhile. (Re5 offline co-op was horrible btw)
I cant wait to get my hands on Ao2 this Jan.
Ofc, the broken online play was the only frustrating part of the game.. oh and the lack of drop in-drop out co-op. But that didnt matter since i always played with a friend or my brother.

1.1 - Ao2 was pretty fun online
It was defiantly a co-op game because playing it in single player was horrible. I'm looking forward to this game as well, fit pumps and all.

wait, what?? whats wrong with fist pumping? I'm a European and i don't see anything wrong with it.... does anyone in Europe care about fist pumping?? I don't think all the Americans bought the game for fist pumping, they bought it because its a shooter. Thats why all my friends bought it anyway...

This game came across like Beavis and Butthead do the mercenaries thing to me. I'm sure I wasn't the only one...

What is fist pumping and how does it offend somebody?

Army of Two was fun for co-op. But poor replay value. Poor selection of guns too and they all end up the same in a sense. Also, campaign was too short.

3 - what's up with the Extraction mode?
I know it's 30-day exclusive for pre-orders, but is it already od disc or is it code based download. Can i play it buying the game used or renting it?

LOL, where do you guys find these amazing pics?

@ the article

Really? Fist bumping? That can't be the reason... In fact, I barely used that feature in the game, b/c I was too busy mowing the enemy down.
Either way, can't wait for Army of Two 2!!!

5 - I guess..
..it had nothing to do with the fact that the game only had "local" multiplayer. U.S. could only play with U.S. players Euro with Euro and Asia with Asia- boring. Plus the game is rather lackluster when you play by yourself so, if no one bother to play it in Europe and Asia then getting a game going there was probably a pain.
