I like how they always talk shiznit after the game is released and doesn't sell well, but not like month before... "Hey you know we also gonna be including multiplayer but its total shit"

HammadTheBeast4253d ago

That's because 2K has paid them now, they don't give a sh*t anymore. Now they can explain why stuff was so bad.

MeatAbstract4253d ago

From what I read the game was nicely received. Maybe not hollow words thrown around like "Stunning" and "Awesome" and slapped with a few 9's. I heard people say the game had depth emotionally and that can make up for a lot.

I've heard it's quite good and I am going to pick up in the future.

Ashriel4253d ago

please do, the campaign alone is well worth it :)

Kingdom Come4252d ago

Good Campaign, terrible Multiplayer.

flakko4253d ago

This game was one of the best shooters ive played in a looong time. Stoy was amazing

PixL4253d ago

I'm planning to play it through but I wouldn't even think about touching multiplayer. Most games don't need MP while it's being shoved into them.

Kran4253d ago

Bad reception?

I thought it got alright reception, unless they're talking about sales.

DrTwinkletoes4252d ago

Bad reception= Sales & Criticism towards the poor multiplayer.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga62d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics62d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend61d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long62d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons62d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor62d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5261d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60261d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor62d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

A stellar work of sobering proportions, Spec-Ops: The Line is an outstanding third-person shooter that on first glance conceals its hidden depths.

It's really a shame that the Spec Ops reboot didn't continue into a series. Obviously the story in The Line is over. But each game could have delved into the different psychological effects of war as well as exploring different takes on Heart of Darkness. In a sea of mindless military shooters it was nice to finally play a shooter that actually had something to say.

EazyC81d ago

This game was the last of a dying breed, a signifier of where shooter games (and videogames more broadly) COULD have gone if developers didn't pivot so hard into the online services, micro transaction, season pass, yada yada.

New narrative territory exploring the actual art form of gaming and storytelling within it.

Yui_Suzumiya81d ago

A brilliant depiction into what war can really do to a person and doesn't glorify it in any way.

Psychonaut8581d ago

I heard this game might be getting delisted, which is a travesty, this is one that should be preserved forever

Puty80d ago

I think the title was unfortunate - it was when Moder Warfare got big so I assumed it was yet another clone. Fortunately, because ps plus I checked out this gem of a game.
