I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.

You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.

Thanks

    When the only way to progress the level is to commit a war crime, and then I’m supposed to feel bad about it as if there was an alternative, it just sucks.

    This feels a lot like saying “books can’t have an emotional impact, you just read the words in the order they were written”.

      This isn’t a book, it’s a video game, and video games had meaningful choices decades before Spec Ops: The Line was released. Books also have well fleshed out characters with clear motivations. Spec Ops: The Line does not have this, IMO.

      Middling gameplay, graphics, and story, low replayability, the only part that felt good was the music.

      Seriously, what’s the draw here? The twist? Feels gimmicky to me. It’s a C+ game at best, and it’s listed in that comment among a solid string of A+ games.
