How many layers of irony can we burn away before it hurts, Walker? EDIT 10/22/23: Fans of irony &/or coincedences will be happy to hear I'm in a DEP for the US Army. Studying & training really hard so I can be 18X. I've achieved my american dream at age thirty, and there's so much I need to do for my family, my friends, and even just strangers nearby. We all make sacrifices. We all make lines. It's up to us to decide whether or not we stay within those boundaries we set for ourselves.
We're on a morbius strip of irony this day and age. Eveytime we peel a layer it reveals a new layer. Maybe not immediately, but in time, we will find ourself having peeled back that next layer already
Again, it can never be said enough that Spec Ops: The Line wasn't just an existential deconstruction of the military shooter genre, it's also *the* existential deconstruction of *ALL kinds of* video games, and the taken-for-granted mindsets we players have in consuming the medium in general. And that's what makes this video game so ominously relevant to this day and age.
When I entered Dubai I was nothing but a mindless COD kiddie, when I "left" I was a PTSD guilt ridden war criminal who had aged 30 years in just couple of hours. I will rave about how good spec ops the line is till my grave, it changed my whole perspective not just on stories in fps but gaming in general and really made me think hard not just on the game but its themes, the message and what it was saying. Being young at the time I didn't immediately get the whole picture but as I matured and carried on gaming while searching for more thought provoking games I really came to understand it and its nuances. I think the gaming industry could do with another spec ops the line type game now, I'd say we are overdue.
@@deltaforce2780 Well, above all, Spec Ops: The Line was a deconstruction of military shooters because they were so damn big in those days. They deserved to be criticized because of the incessant hero complex included in them(and maybe inadvertent promotion of the US as the global police). So, let's assume we're game designers. Step one: what is the most prevalent genre of games right now that's worth deconstructing?
“Look kid, there’s gonna be times in your life where you want to play the hero…there will come a time where you have to just….stop. Trust me, it’s for the better.”
Really? That's from one of the endings, the one when they send a second recon team into Dubai,they stumble upon unto a fully PTSD filled Walker,and when they approach him instead of shooting them,he allows himself to surrender.
The only part of war crime Walker enjoyed is when he used the Minigun on the radio tower. He really didn't like everything else he put up with. Still, that does not midigate the severity of his crimes.
Then proceed to get some form of low level PTSD by the end of it. I can never reinstall it again. I just cant bring myself to it. White phosphorus makes me cry, I can't play it again.
Jesus I forgot about that game I loved every second of it especially since it touches heavily on the topic of the effects of war (Civilian causalities, PTSD, History/Events being buried/covered up, etc.).
@@Nombrenooriginal yeah it’s basically where they see their future selves and the kid in the video saw his future self as a girl, which was pretty cringe ngl
Man this game was something else Like when I played it for the first time and beat it in 3 days that game traumatized me for months specially if you live in uae btw I'm from Dubai
Timeless masterpiece. To this day I am searching for an experience like spec ops: the line. Like, it doesn’t even need to be the same genre. I just want to experience something like this again.
One of my favorite stories. Its not war story 58382 of "white savior comes in to kill evil brown people and save a few good brown people" instead its called main character doesnt realize hes a villian and fucks everything up. Best part is the villian that he blames for everything has been dead awhile ago.
I remember playing it when I was 14, the whole message behind it flew by my head, but when I revisited it two years ago. It still sends shivers down my spine, the soundtrack, the story, the meaning, EVERYthing. Still leaves an Impression on me, and I sometimes look back at dubi and wonder "where did it all go wrong"
@@OperatorOverTone rewatching the vid now, it brings me mega nostalgia for the week I played the crap out of spec ops' campaign. Doing that garage level and the final assault over and over trying to get it right. lol, it makes me want to go back.
