YMMV / Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Rising Storm 2 has Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Run Through the Jungle" as its main menu music.
  • Contested Sequel: Rising Storm 2, especially in comparison to its direct predecessor, probably inevitably considering the time period difference causes a lot of gameplay difference too. Plenty of fans just didn't find being out of World War 2 is the same.
  • Narm: Most people tend to agree the North Vietnamese taunts of "I kill you GI! GI, I kill you!" and "Screw you GI, I will kill you GI!" are impossible to take seriously.
  • Narm Charm: But then again, those North Vietnamese taunts can become potential Paranoia Fuel given the Northern Force's tendency to blend well with their surroundings and pop out of nowhere.
  • Scrappy Weapon: Some players feel this way about the claymore mine, which is an explosive trap available to the South Vietnamese forces that must be triggered manually, unlike tripwires or punji traps that trigger as soon as an enemy triggers them. On the subject of sidearms, there's the M1917 revolver, which fires the same .45 cartridge as the Colt M1911 at lower capacity and (unless cocked manually) decreased precision. Then there's the suppressed variant of the XM21 rifle with its long bullet travel time, poor range, manual cocking and still rather loud report.
