Spec Ops: The Line.
Seriously, why hasn't everyone played this game?

-
2 things. 1. The demo sucked. 2. More people play for game play than story.
-
[quote]2. More people play for game play than story.[/quote] Your opinion on this is noted. Please continue to enjoy CoD...
-
So you think CoD has good gameplay?
-
Not at all. For me, the word 'gameplay' differs to 'mechanics' (which are certainly solid in CoD); but since the inference by his statement was that game play was separate to story (I don't believe it is), CoD was the best example of a game that had good 'game play' (by the inferred meaning) that lacked story.
-
I don't like Call of Duty nor do I play it. Did I even say I don't play for story because I certainly do or I wouldn't have played metal gear solid 2, 3, and 4.

You're statement inferred a personal position in the negative; you gave 2 arguments against why people didn't play the game. I took issue with your second assertion inferring a separation of gameplay from story. I consider gameplay to be more than just mechanics. CoD was an example of a game that had a weak story but strong mechanics. If you enjoyed the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 and 4, one might assume you're talking about more than just the mechanics of the game. If that is the case, then why make a statement inferring separation of these factors in the first place..?

The story was very good. It was a very intense game. The multiplayer was a disappointment to me but I loved the single player.
-
I avoided this game for quite some time because I assumed it was a ripoff of CoD. But I read that it is actually a powerful story-driven game. So I picked it up recently, and have yet to play it. Sounds like I should start it.
-
The game mechanics are solid, but fairly typical of cover based shooters - nothing to rave about. In this respect, your concerns about it being a clone are not unfounded. The story and progression of events during the game, will (should) change the way you think about the approach to war based FPS..
-
If the game could end in the beginning it would have changed my perspective. But you are 100% forced to continue into the city encountering unavoidable scripted event's.

Agreed, it was an experience I never thought I would have with a shooter.
