Spec Ops: The Line (gets a review about how it messes with you)

[AmaNutin]

As much as I hate IGN usually, and that most console/FPS games are unoriginal, after reading this piece I'd have to applaud the designers for making a game that makes the player to consider their actions.

Personally, I probably won't play it, but it's a good piece on how one company managed to get people to react with something other than glee to shooting "military uniform from [insert country]."

Also, tried doing a search for the game on this subforum, didn't locate shit, so new thread.

e: spelling whoop

holy shit. i really want to play this game now.

not often you find a shooter with a sincere attempt at having a real plot.

Am definitely going to try this. At least it's trying not to be another shitty fps clone.

[Hels]

I thought it was going to be a lol MW clone. Now I'm interested

[Mortvvs]

Really wanted to play it, couldn't get myself over the bland, scripted, one-button-does-everything gameplay, uninstalled

[Mr Marram]

Downloaded the demo off steam, didn't work, couldn't care.

Played this already - it's basically grimdark (fucking grim, believe me) deconstruction of modern shooters. The story unfolds in a very subtle way and it gives you couple of suprises along the way. Go play it guys, it's a rare gem in today's gaming industry (unless you hate cover shooters then you'll have a hard time).

Iirc RPS was somewhat impressed with its take on FPS's and the grim storyline but they thought the game mechanics were a bit wank.

No choices whatsoever.

Rewatched Apocalypse Now after that and it was ten times better.

Seriously, i waited like a minute before doing that unintentional mistake Yahtzee spoke of thinking "and that's it?". I already knew because i could

  Spoiler:

Don't.

  Spoiler:

see all the fucking civvies in the camera. And i knew it wouldn't let me just get out there and riddle the HMMWV senseless with regular bullets.

The end didn't clear anything except the "I get it - we have to choose" scene and the fact that Konrad was just in your head, really. It's only obvious we go completely mad.

Definitely worth a playthrough but nothing really exciting here except AK47 VIKTOR.
