  • I have never played a game like Spec Ops: The Line & I never knew a game with a narrative as crazy as this even existed in video games. Given how Spec Ops: The Line came out in 2012 and it wasn't as massive as a success as other game's from that period I never thought Spec Ops: The Line would be as narratively engaging as it was. But holy fuck am i happy i gave this game a chance over a decade after it's release and i highly recommend you do the same!

    Spec Ops does what "This War of Mine" does, but from the perspective of the soldier, show you the actual horrors of war, and the weight of the trigger every time you pull it.

      The weight of the trigger is the weight of the button. As light as the consequences of your actions are heavy.
      Why do I feel like I am talking just like the loading screens that condemn you? xD

    I always the remember the ending as "... survivors... one too many... ".
    His mission was to find survivors, and his "last report" is saying he's the only survivor. And he wished he didn't make it.

    That line hurts when you realize you were the villain all along.

    Spec Ops The Line's gameplay being generic actually works in the game's favor. Because it sells like a generic shooter game so you go play there thinking it will be some fun military shooter only to the game hit you hard af. It also works for the message the game shows.

    The final game menu is a rain storm in Dubai. The final loading screen is Walker(Conrad?) standing in the rain. The return to Dubai ending is probably the true ending.

    It makes me so happy to see my most anticipated game of 10 years ago get more and more recognition from the newer generation of people. I have played it through more times than I care to share, and I still love every second of it. The depth of conversation you can have with someone about this game is staggering, never have I seen so many layers and interpretations come from a video game.

    I would have liked another Spec Ops game after playing The Line but apparently The Line was a commercial failure so tthere won't be any more Spec Ops games.

    The single best story-driven game ever made (well, minus Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty).
    I'm serious! This is how you do a deconstruction: You don't "subvert expectations" and proceed to insist that the player is wrong for liking Modern Military Shooters, you look them in the eye and ask them: What would a guy who plays these games and the protagonist of one feel if we showed them the horrific consequences of their actions in a realistic light? So much subtle foreshadowing, so much unease, all leading up to you walking into the aftermath of a White Phosphorous attack, which leads to you making a pointless choice and then perform your own, even worse White Phosphorous attack in the following level. Profound, tough, and fantastic.

      Not really, multiplayer sucked and it came out the same year as Black Ops 2 and Halo 4. The only good thing about this game is the 6 hour story, which back then paying 60 dollars for just that was crazy
