How Spec Ops: The Line risks pushing video game narratives too far

Bitmob - Recently, a video game made me want to put down the controller and walk away. It wasn’t due to frustration or boredom either, but because I couldn’t handle its intensity.

The game is freaking wonderful. I was really amazed... I bought it on a whim, when it was 5 bucks on PC... So happy I did...

It looked like yet another military shooter, same old, same old... Though right from the beginning it sucks you in with that helicopter battle. The characters seem interesting, the story seems good, the ambiance and setting are wonderful. I haven't gotten far, but this certainly isn't your run of the mill shooter thankfully!

yeh seems like Spec Ops has been highly OVERLOOKED in a world fill with crappy Battlefield of Duty games!

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb109d ago

I have this. Never even realised it had become rare.

@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.

I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS108d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal109d ago

I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.

Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.

Chocoburger109d ago

Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.

Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅

NotoriousWhiz109d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel109d ago

I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed

TorpeAlex109d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai109d ago

I lost my physical copy in a move, it still bothers me to this day 😅😔

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

EvertonFC483d ago (Edited 483d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga483d 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!

LordoftheCritics483d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend483d 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-Long484d ago

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

melons484d ago

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

Skuletor483d 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.

ravens52483d ago

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

monkey602483d 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.

Skuletor483d ago

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

Terry_B483d ago (Edited 483d 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.
