Re: Spec Ops: The Line

Also it always ends up taking me longer to finish a game then the people online says it does. Maybe its just bc I die more then most but I think its bc some people just speed through it and skip everything just to say "look I beat it in x amount of hours"

Totally agree. I like to take my time, soak in the atmospher, look for items, etc. Plus, as I said earlier, I'll play through this 2-3 times, so it will get plenty of play time.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

Im in no rush to complete this game. I will take my time.

I take sometime to finish a game anyways. Im always bouncing around from game to game.

I think something that all of us are gulity of myself included is quantity over quality. Whenever you buy a product the best case is you find a product that gives you both quantity and quality, but thats not always the case. A filet mignon for example is more expensive and smaller then other steaks. You can get a cheaper steak thats bigger and cheaper but not of the quality of a filet mignon.

That's how I look at games like this that are a little shorter then I would prefer. I'd rather play a game that I enjoy from start to finish then one that I get bored with toward the end and are just ready to move on to my next game. Because if the quality is there I will go back play through it again at some point.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

Had no intentions of buying it this morning, but I traded in 7 games and got it for free...

Will let you know what I think when it's done installing.

Another postive review

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

Another good review here too (they've changed their system): http://www.gamesradar.com/spec-ops-the-line-review/

It's been great so far and I hope people aren't writing it off as just another war game. It's most certianly not.
Not to spoil anything but I don't think we'll ever hear the end of chapter 8. Give it about 2 days.

They've done such a wonderful job of not giving away things in trailers etc. so I'll limit the pics to artistic even though the spoilerific shots are amazing but you should really experience it all for yourself and not even be tempted to click on a spoiler:

I'll give it a week (tops) until you come back in here saying you hate it.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

It's progressively gotten better actually. If the end is as good as everyone says it is then I can only guess it keeps getting better.

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

Hell, if goh is saying this is good, I can't WAIT to play this tonight!

Re: Spec Ops: The Line

The game is pretty damn awesome. I think I'm on chapter 5, maybe 6, so still a bit to go and, apparently something real awesome in Chapter 8.

There are some really cool gameplay things with this one. Fighting in a sand-storm, being able to shoot out glass ceilings or windows and the effects of those.

Controls take a bit of getting used to but they're not bad by any means. They're closer to Gears of War, from what I remember of that scheme.

The story, though, is awesome and the voice-actors all do a damn good job from what I've seen so far.

Not mad I used my GS credit towards this game at all. I'm more interested in this story than Max Payne 3's story, if that matters to anyone.
