[ALL] Spec Ops The Line

[Twigg4075]

Twigg, if you would ever let yourself, you seem to have enough game disposable income to really enjoy PC gaming.

I want to play this game. I already read all of the spoilers as to what happens storywise back when I figured I wouldn't be able to tolerate the shooting parts. The story sounds great though, and I would like to go through it on easy I think.

I have no interest in sitting in front of my computer and playing game and I also have no interest of rigging up my PC to stream it to my tv or whatever. Not to mention I highly doubt my basic PC would run any of these games. Way too much of a pain in the ass. I just like popping the disc in and playing, not having to worrying about specs and shit.

It's not as hard as you make it sound by any stretch of the imagination, but I have no interest in rehashing these old PC debates. What do you think of the story so far?

It's ten times more difficult than console. Fact. I NEVER have to worry about specs on console. Ever. And like I said, my PC monitor is like 20+"? My tv is 61". It wins.

As far as the story, I think I'm just getting to the point where shit is starting to get fucked up. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that you kill U.S. soldiers in the game and so far it's been a lot. I admit that I kind of cringe every time I have to do it but I'm curious to see where the story goes.

The game is super graphic too. I posted a pic on Twitter last night. Nothing like tossing a grenade and blowing a guys' legs off.

I'm on Chapter 12 now and this game is just all sorts of awesome. I implore everyone to do themselves a favor and play this game. Probably the most underrated game of 2012.

I played about an hour tonight. It seems like your basic third person shooter as far as mechanics go, but the story is the interesting part from what I hear. Hopefully, I can get more time in tomorrow.

Yeah. It plays very similarly to Gears of War with the cover mechanic and even the way you run. But it's the cinematic style and the story that really suck you in.

Too bad this didn't get a lot of buzz. Would have been cool to play through the story with friends

You can't. The story is single player only.

I know. That's why I said it would have been cool if you could.

What an excellent game. The difficulty started got rage inducing at points (on Normal), especially at the end, but still an amazing game. Great ending too, even if it was a bit predictable.

This has to be my Unsung Hero GotY.

WOW! Thats all I can say after finally getting around to playing this game and finishing it. Never expected this game to be this good when I originally heard about it. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Well worth the $7.49 I spent on it from amazon lol

I finished this last night. The story was good. I hated some of the combat scenarios in the last 1/4th of the game where the developers just threw a ton of enemies at you with little cover or narrow corridors. The partner AI was pretty dumb at times too.

the "Welcome To Hell" chapter (i believe it was the final chapter before the ending) was absolute insanity when you have to go through the trenches and take out the turrets. must of taken me a dozen tries. i dont know how that would even be possible on the highest difficulty.

I had a frightening experience at that part where I thought everyone was dead, and as I looked to my right, there was a Zulu soldier standing right over me not doing anything. (It's just after the 2h36m mark in this video.)

I absolutely hated the game from the fight to get out of the radio tower to where you find Lugo after the chopper crash. Adams routinely rushed into the enemies and got himself downed, and he absolutely refused to help me with the heavy at the part where you run into the Stryker at the yacht. Then there was a ton of grenade spam (at that yacht in particular) that made me run out of the little cover that was there, and I would get absolutely mauled by gunfire.

Getting back into this game...on Chapter 5. Tight game but damn you kill a lot of soldiers.

I liked this game but I can't figure out at what point...

 

we actually lost our minds.

If you haven't checked it out already multiplayer is pretty fun.
