Boy you got to actually play it to know why it's good.
Everyone, from the people you shoot has a story behind them. Everything you do has an cost behind it. The game essentially lays out some candy then yanks you on chain when you try to get it and says "wow, I thought you were going on a diet?!". Also the game has an insane amount of detail, over time your gear starts to wear down and so do the crews moral.
Also the loading screens, they go from telling you info that you usually ignore, to straight out this

Wow. Smug much? (the picture not you)

The loading screens are very very smug. http://41.media.tumblr.com/663cbe7aa84c320430b35f436df90b48/tumblr_mzh4we2MrZ1rz0noro4_500.jpg Really smug

...that actually makes me angry. People payed money for your game and your making them feel bad for playing it!?
-
That's the whole point, the developers even said the only way to win is straight up stop playing or not play it at all. The games purpose is to remind you why you are a bad person
-
So based on your previous statements... this game's goals are -make me feel bad about myself -ruin every other shooter for me -and then tell me I'm a bad person for playing it and that the only true way to win is to never have played it? That sounds like real life....which I try to get out of by playing videogames.
-
Yeah, the gameplay is kinda clunky, so if your a person that thinks Gameplay>Story or looking for a game that won't put you into a guilt trip. I wouldn't recommend Spec Ops.
-
This game sounds like it would make me needlessly depressed for months. Hell, the fact that this game exists and is highly praised already makes me depressed.
-
Yeah, if you are already depressed, light of heart or don't want to feel bad do NOT play this game mostly because one scene: [spoiler]You are forced to use White Phosphorus against a platoon of troops only to find out you killed 47 civilians and 2 being a mother and her child.[/spoiler] This lone scene is why Spec Ops: The line gained so much fame, rather if be infamy or not.
-
I read about that scene. I actually was about to look it up on YouTube.
-
Yeah, don't.
-
...too late...
-
People payed money to see movies like Schindler's List or The Passion of the Christ. They didn't set out to entertain. Thry set out to engage by drama. And both films hit people where it hurt. Why can't video games do the same thing? Spec Ops: The Line is engaging because it has a gripping and powerful story set to gameplay we're so used to that we don't even think about how brutal the violence really is.
-
... I don't really have a valid response to this.
