Compared to most other shooters, the story and characters are MUCH better in Spec Ops: The Line when compared to most games in its genre (military shooter).

You're definitely right - it set out to create a bleak, impossible, depressing, and screwed-up scenario - and it worked 100%, if you ask me.

When it comes to depressing story-driven and character-driven shooters, Max Payne series and Spec Ops: The Line surely do a damn good job at this.

Spec Ops: The Line - END GAME SPOILERS


By the end, Walker is suffering from PTSD - and whether you decide to have Walker kills himself or not, he's screwed. It's bleak and dark, either way.

I. If Walker commits suicide - it's all over. He doesn't survive or overcome his past, nightmares and PTSD.

II. If you decide to live here - then what you decide to do if you put the gun down or not when confronted, that's also a bleak and terrible outcome.
A. You can fire the gun - and then just flat-out die in a blaze of "glory" (quoted "glory" b/c I use it VERY- VERY loosely and sarcastically). Bleak. Walker doesn't survive his nightmares and PTSD. He loses.
B. Sure, you can put the gun down and decide to live - but that's also a poor decision, too. Seeing Walker's final horrible look on his face, it symbolizes Walker is probably never going to be able to function properly in society, after everything he's been through and done. He's going to probably even have more people suffer seeing him go through PTSD and Lord knows whatelse, dragging them (likely, his loved ones) also into his miseries that he'll have to forever live with. And who knows if Walker doesn't take the war with him and literally could physically hurt others. I'd be nice for him to come around and overcome this - but the game gives no implications, hints, or signs that would show otherwise.


It's sad, dark, depressing, and bleak - no matter what. That's one of the main points of the game.
WAR IS HELL.
I'd like to point out for the endgame, that, (Spoilers)

Regarding the ending where Walker drops the gun and turns himself in, the scene fades to white, which is used throughout the game to point out Walker's delusions (heavy Lugo, for example). It's very possible that the only supposed "happy" ending is just another hallucination.

I'm a war memoirs book junkie. The best books are terribly written (by soldiers), but the meat and potatoes of the story still gets through.

I'm so sad that this sale has no sales on racing games except for the simbin stuff.
Old 01-03-2013, 10:02 PM   #9967
There were at least three or four racing games on flash/dailies. More that are just cheap 'default' sales.

F1 2013 and F1 Race Stars were both on sale :P

Sorry if this has already been discussed... this thread moves at light speed... but does anybody have any opinions on Avernum: Escape From the Pit? Looks pretty interesting to me.

Just to add to what you put up above spoiler on the ending of Spec Ops.



You could also fire the gun and survive in the end, with walker decimating those troops sent to retrieve him and declaring to the newcomers "welcome to Dubai" over the radio, effectively leaving him in his perpetual hell without dying in a blaze of glory.

That's dark as hell, as well...
Damn....

That's pretty messed-up, too.

EDIT 2:
For those wondering the ending I received in my 1st (and only) playthrough so far...
Shot away from the mirror; and dropped the gun.

SimBin are simulation-style racing dev's.
They made GTR series and RACE series.

Missed it...damn Jack Daniel's. Here's hoping for some Grid and/or Dirt 3 on the last day.
Old 01-03-2013, 10:13 PM   #9978
Ah. As you can tell I'm not a big fan of racing games.

Fake/real edit: Pretty sure one of the Dirt games was a flash yesterday or the day before. I know because I curse out loud whenever a racing game takes a featured sale spot over Alpha Protocol or the neglected Deathspank games... or anything that isn't a racing game.
Old 01-03-2013, 10:16 PM   #9979
I forgot Ridge Racer went on sale because the price pissed me off lol
Old 01-03-2013, 10:19 PM   #9980
I bet one of the next flash sales coming up will be a racing game just to make me rage.
