Why are zoomers acting like this is the burning of the Library of Alexandria or some shit?
The game is midwit bait trash, and if you really wanted to play it so bad you could just pirate it for free.

yeah, I could get it with stuff like DarkSpore and other always online games/stuff with uncracked DRM, but you can easily pirate SpecOps, there's even a bunch of keys on grey market sites if you really want to have it on Steam for some weird reason
You will claim people are too stupid to understand the ideas of it, but they are smart enough to understand the idea is just fricking stupid
>t. Too stupid to understand the ideas
I was once in the former camp because I had a way better and smarter interpretation of the story than what the developers intended. I used to mock everyone who hated the game because of the moronic takes they had on it, until I read a bunch of interviews with the devs and realized that those retsrded takes are actually EXACTLY what the developers were trying to convey, with the "you're le bad person" and "muh glorification of violence" homosexualry.
I thought it was just a self-contained story about a well meaning soldier using good intentions to pave the road to a hell of his own making as we watch and wince at every step on his descent into the abyss. But no, it turns out I'm just a bad person because I wanted to play a videogame. What a fricking farce.
It’s a rare example where death of the author should be applied.
A modern heart of darkness isn’t exactly groundbreaking but it’s still interesting, and doesn’t deserve to be dragged down by a pretentious gay b***hing about the fact most people aren’t moronic enough to think video game violence impacts reality in the slightest.
>It’s a rare example where death of the author should be applied.
Death of the author always applies because no piece of media is written isolated from the rest of the media landscape. The game remixes a lot of ideas from movies like Apocalypse Now and Fight Club, and so it necessarily it deals with themes that the authors didn't even thought about. Then again, I think the TLOU and MGS games did it better.
what was your interpritation?
>I thought it was just a self-contained story about a well meaning soldier using good intentions to pave the road to a hell of his own making as we watch and wince at every step on his descent into the abyss.

play brothers in arms if you are looking for that
great stories
Thanks for the rec, lad, I'll give it a look later.
Should I play all 3?
all three are worth the play
Then again, the game is somewhat explicit about the developers' intentions part-way through, when the loading screen tips start saying things like "You're not a bad person".
I mostly played the game just to see what kind of path of madness the character was going to take.
Spec Ops is a bit like the “Would you kindly” bit from Bioshock, where if you the player do what the devs expect you to do, the trick works beautifully, but if you the player try to NOT do what the devs expect you to do, the fact that you really don’t have any choice in the matter due to the nature of video games kind of breaks the whole trick.
The devs are counting on you to do what the game’s objectives tell you to do without thinking, because it’s a video game, and then lord that over you. But if you do think, if you ever try to find alternate solutions, the fact that they don’t actually exist (because it’s a video game) cheapens the moral lecture the game then throws at you.
Most people who played Bioshock probably did not try to deliberately ignore Fontaine’s instructions. But a lot of people tried not to use the white phosphorous in Spec Ops.
You were so close to getting it and fricked it up right at the last step. It’s a parallel narrative where you are meant to self insert as walker and experience the story unironically only to have your perspective split part way through when the story estranges you from the protag. You are meant to carry the split perspective throughout the rest of the story and the interplay between the similarities and differences between you and walker are what makes the story highly engaging
homie the developers literally said you're le bad person. There is nothing more to their vision.
>One guy
>who wasn't one of the writers
>said something
HUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR DA DEVS WANTED U 2 TURN DA GAME OFFFFFF
I'm not going back to search for those interviews. And neithet am I going back to search for the lead writer saying that the game takes place in hell after Walker perished in the helicopter crash and is now being tormented by his actions. Don't believe me if you don't want to, you're not worth the effort needed to convince you. Devs are homosexuals, end of story.

That's why you morons make wars to die on
Zoomer can't pirate.
this. some zoomers out there are somehow more tech illiterate than boomers.
Kek. What the frick is wrong with them? Google literally helps you do it.
In fact, you can pirate it blindfolded just by trial and error
I like Mark Brown but the guy is legit the kind of guy who probably would feel sick in the stomach if he had to pirate a game.
If you don't care about it, don't make a thread about it. Simple as.
Still the smartest 360 era game. I'm proud it's still discussed today and that there's a namegay that won't stop making threads about it.
I know this is bait but,
It's an extremely poorly made, heavily rushed, bare bones game that directly calls the player a bad person for even playing it and acts like it and the devs are simply better than you. It's a game that is so poorly written they had to REMOVE any morally good choices the player could make so that their dumbass point would work. They did this because testers for the game weren't making completely unreasonable choices with no motivation for someone to ever do, leading to the devs looking stupid. So now it's a game that forces you to kill a ton of civilians while claiming you have a choice not to (as the choice was cut) then breaks the 4th wall and directly calls you, the player, a bad person for progressing through the game.
The devs have said that if you weren't a bad person, and if video games didn't make people violent, then you would have simply turned the game off but also not ask for a refund. You would just pay full price then not play it once you realized killing people is bad, but you didn't do that did you? Guess you're just a pyschopath who only cares about killing innocents and you WANT the United States military to invade foreign countries!
Reviewers criticized the game for sucking really bad, especially the barely functional multiplayer (a mode that glorifies killing people for fun, awesome!) but praised the games writing; all of them basically completely misunderstanding anything the game was saying, which has lead to a ton of people parroting that it's so deep and awesome and definitely doesn't have the message the devs have directly stated it to have!
>directly calls the player a bad person for even playing it and acts like it and the devs are simply better than you.
I'm pretty sure the divide on SOtL is having this sensitive of an ego.
It's a very well made, almost manipulative game, but if you get into it, it's practically inducing PTSD on yourself. It's very effective on showing how well meaning people can become outright mass murdering war criminals while having the very best of intentions.
I'm starting to feel like this game is one of the many things that people born after 9/11 just simply can't understand.
>buy game
>refuse to commit war crimes
>money stolen
>the only game to criticize the military from a western perspective. Other games straight up sucked the dick of the American military with zero self-awareness.
The original Modern Warfare is probably the most popular FPS of it's generation, and the story is about US foreign interventionism going horribly wrong and fricking things up, and the ending for the American character is having a nuke go off in your face and you crawling around dying of exposure for your last moments.
It's more subtle about it than Spec Ops, and you don't commit war crimes, but it's a very anti-interventionist game. (The new one is the exact opposite but that's a different discussion.)
>It's a very well made, almost manipulative game, but if you get into it, it's practically inducing PTSD on yourself
Imagine being proud that you can't connect with or understand media.

>It's a very well made, almost manipulative game, but if you get into it, it's practically inducing PTSD on yourself.
Truly a masterful game made for mentally moronic such as yourself
Because its obvious that it was taken down because the US is prepping for another infinite desert occupation, so criticisms of that need to be removed. The game itself is whatever, its the fact that its not a wholly positive depiction of shooting sandBlack folk and russians that is the problem, and for that it was removed.
Midwits will say it was a good game that was removed because of muh capitalism. The real problem is that it was a bad game, with a message that the political elite didn't think was appropriate.
>The game is midwit bait trash
That's because everyone knows that these wars are garbage now. At the time of its release, it was revolutionary because it was the only game to criticize the military from a western perspective. Other games straight up sucked the dick of the American military with zero self-awareness.
>Other games straight up sucked the dick of the American military with zero self-awareness.
Anon, they were PAID to suck off the military. Of course they had zero self-awareness. That was by design. Nothing less than a totally whole hearted endorsement of jingoist propaganda was in the contract.
Everyone knew the wars were a scam, cuckservatives chose to bury their heads on the sand and give Bush a second term.
And then the anti-war left literally evaporated once the Blessed Black person King took his throne and now leftoids call you a vatnik if you suggest sending American soldiers to die in the mudpit of the month might be Bad Actually.
yeah, who knew we are all just stupid npc's who divvy up in teams?
Trump has 0 wars and you hate him, though?
Not for lack of trying, he droned a high-ranking Iranian general to try to instigate a war but Iran knew he was a loser on his way out and didn't take the bait
Funny, because democrats love Obama. Who pretty much kept the war train going full force in the Middle East.
How many more Billions for Ukraine, comrade?
Is Biden also winning his wars?
>criticize the military from a western perspective
Lmao. Funny thing is, CoD did criticize the military if you paid attention to the story. Was only later games where they suck the us military dick.
No! You're not supposed to realize that! Spec-Ops was original because I never played any modern military FPSes before it because le critics said they hated brown people! No! Noooooooo!
CoD is and was always official ZOG propaganda. There has never been any critique of substance from them. They're literal recruitment material.
You clearly never played the game. The entire story of the original Modern Warfare trilogy is caused by American interventionism and it's failure.
>CoD is and was always official ZOG propaganda
Wrong. CoD is british propaganda, it's always about the stupid and corrupt americans being saved by the super special SAS team against the evil russians or someone paid by the russians
That's a good point, the Brits are the big heroes in all the Modern Warfare games. If you want an American hero you have to play Black Ops and have your mind scrambled.
>Implying any of the five-eyes nations are not ZOG
>MHRVAX
>implying the British crown isn't still controlling everything
It's the classic magic trick, they've got you looking at the wrong hand
???
>He thinks that the story is what matters
Look how cool, epic and fun it is to shoot the unambiguously bad guys! Man, it would be so cool to use all these gadgets to shoot the bad guys, but you can only have these cool guns and gadgets if you join up! What a shame, huh? War is all about shooting the bad guys and the bad guys are all just bad guys and have nothing good about them, unlike us, the good guys.
The vey light "well we did the right thing in the wrong way" shit is to obfuscate and distract someone who doesn't have 80IQ.
>He doesn't think the story matters
The story is the whole point of the game, unless you're a mindless multiplayer addict. But even they know that the very best players still die a fe times in every match, and when you die in real life you don't get to respawn. Hardly an encouragement to enlist.
>The story is the whole point of the game
The point of the game is to make war seem cool to 18 year olds so they're less opposed to signing up
If that was the actual goal they wouldn't have the American protagonist die horribly while you're controlling him.
>He thinks that was the point of that sequence
It was to highlight how bad it would be if the TURRISTS get nukes, which means we gotta send the MUHRINES into the desert for 12 years to stop 'em!
>missing the point that hard
It was a sovereign nation, not terrorists, and the message clearly was "America waded into a bad situation and made it worse".
The message was clearly
>War is both cool and necessary. If the Good Guys (us) don't do something the Bad Guys (them) will do awful shit! The big boom could have been you! Aren't they bad and evil for using big boom? You could have stopped this. Support the muhrines.
You didn't play the game.
Having been in the military since one year after CoD4 dropped, this is moronic schizo babble. CoD is not a part of the military’s recruiting efforts. Hell, back when CoD4 released, the government was still running America’s Army on PC, which was their actual recruitment video game.
>but muh advisors
Yeah, people exist that get paid to tell video game developers and movie studios if their military stories are military enough, but they are independent contractors. If there was an actual official DoD connection to Activision, it would have been well known by now.
>In 2021, the Army kicked off a massive marketing campaign worth some $7 million that put “Call of Duty” at its center, including sponsoring professional esports teams and streamers, and advertising on the game's content on YouTube and Twitch, according to internal documents published by VICE. Of that, $750,000 was a direct partnership with Activision Blizzard for sponsoring its esports team, the Call of Duty League.
inb4 "that was just promotional shit"
You'd have to be really fricking naive or intentionally disingenuous to claim that Acti-Blizz isn't getting payouts from the DoD and CIA at this point. Not that I expect much from moronic drones who actually enlisted.
The DoD was standing up an esports team at that time for recruiting morons that stare at twitch and jerk off to comp multiplayer games. This had nothing to do with funding CoD or shaping the games’ stories.
Yeah a major DoD marketing push and connection means there was nothing else happening under the table, friend. People just push millions around without going deeper into it, happens all the time.
Pizzagate is not real and there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, please do not look beyond surface level that would be inconvenient.
>The Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation co-created by Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard, and General James L. Jones, Jr., a retired United States Marine Corps four-star general, to help U.S., and later, U.K. military veterans find high-quality careers. The Endowment funds non-profit organizations that help former service members transition to high quality civilian careers after their military service and raises awareness of the value veterans bring to the workplace. The name of the Endowment is a reference to the video game series Call of Duty.
>Founded in 2009
There's no link between the DoD and Acti-Blizz, no sir, none. It's just esports shit, goy. Charities are always on the up and up, no money passing hands here.
Show me actual documentation then instead of all this peripheral shit that doesn’t make the link you keep insinuating. I know you can’t because you’re throwing out pizzagate randomly to illicit an emotional response from any fellow schizos that may read your moronation.

There's nothing the military industrial complex fears more than a 12 year old niché videogame. We can only hope our fellow freedom fighters from 2K can find new avenues to spread the message.
It got delisted because the licensing for some of the songs is expiring. Take the meds anon.
It has never been about just one thing, anon. Of course they don't "fear" a single mediocre game. But it would be better for them if it weren't available, so it became unavailable. They don't fear it suddenly awakening an anti-war sentiment a decade after its release, they simply don't want the conversation to occur easily. Especially given the game features white phosphorous, something their ~~*greatest ally*~~ has been using lately.
On one hand yes on the other hand the "military industrial complex" is not a shadowy Masonic cult but regular corporations staffed with minorities and make-work bullshit. Even the greater intelligence and broader government-backed NGO space has "project manager" style organization. Bureaucratic shitheels trying to get raises and huffing their own power-tripping farts pull operations that target individuals, groups, and trends as a matter of business.

I remember the last 2 "upcoming drafts" your /misc/tard schizos were trying to sell
>you better start learning on how to become ineligible
Now that they allow transgender people into the military, that means they're eligible for the draft, too. The Klinger excuse doesn't work any more.
People have been saying there will be a draft since the first Gulf War and it hasn't happened yet. And it won't happen, unless WWIII kicks off. Americans are fine with their tax money paying to blow up brown people, but the minute it disrupts their comfortable lives or steals their kids and sends them off to die, there will be a boomer uprising.
>boot tries to write in cursive

neither democrats nor republicans want infinite wars dumbfrick, whoever does it first will key their "electorability"
lol. lmao.
Have you missed half the political class literally salivating at the thought of laundering another trillion dollars through a proxy conflict in the middle east? They don't want a war of equals, they want constant limited conflict on as many fronts as possible to put money back in their pockets through defense contracts. This has been the operating condition of the US for over half a century.
And they just have to sell it to the public who will get behind whoever is in charge like the sheep they are as long as the sale's pitch is right. Hell, 6 months ago half the left were foaming at the mouth to go die in a trench war in Ukraine and the right only weren't because its a dem in charge. If a guy wearing a red tie said it was a good idea they'd jump in too.
>They don't want a war of equals, they want constant limited conflict on as many fronts as possible to put money back in their pockets through defense contracts.
Once again La Creatividad predicted this in MGS4
hey man, if the morons want to go to war of their own volition, then so be it.
>neither democrats nor republicans want infinite wars dumbfrick,
Not only do both of them want it, but both of them have done nothing but extend the infinite war machine every time they were in office. Literally no one has ever scaled back the wars.
>Literally no one has ever scaled back the wars.
We had one guy, and theyre trying everything they can to keep him from being in office again.

Holy frick what a delusion, both of them want infinite wars for israel
the amerigolem political establishment has been wanting Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in the middle east to help get them votes and maintain the empire in some way since forever
Yeah one of the first moves that foreshadows America's next power move is taking down a 11 year old game that was moderately successful and forgotten a year after release.
Maybe the Houthis should consider not repeatedly attacking international shipping if they don't want to get their shit wrecked by the world police.
Maybe israelites should go back to israelite York, how about that?
It's funny this is your reply to me when IRL I'm a israelite in NYC. Maybe go back to Dearborn and stop trying to murder innocent sailors?
Shouldn't you be raping kids in a tunnel?
Weird you say that when Hamas has murder tunnels all over the length and breadth of Gaza. And they actively and proudly use rape as a weapon of war. Shouldn't you be supporting your sides own propaganda?
I support both subhuman sects killing each other, without my support or intervention.

>Not American
You're much more likely to get a front seat to Hamas atrocities. Have fun!
>Hamas tunnels under Gaza
>Jews tunnel under New York
>believing mossad
When the alternative are cynical mass murdering terrorists who proudly use their children as shields? There's no reason to disbelieve them, Hamas brags about them in their propaganda. So unless both sides are somehow colluding in their lying?
Alternative? This isn’t a binary choice, you can both be sub human liars. The only difference is one side is so incompetent they can’t prevent getting mass murdered by people with no running water while spending hundreds of billions of other people’s money on defense.
Considering how many thousands of Gaza children Israel has nonchalantly murdered for the past 4 months that's a pretty stupid thing to say
they would have just grown up as violent mudslimes and breeders of more garbage, just let them kill each other over there and don't let them in your lands
>He believes the propaganda of people who cynically use their own children as human shields
what are they up to now? fifteen thousand?
In what planet is Israel's response remotely acceptable? The Gaza strip is less than the size of New York, yet we don't resort to bombing numerous churches, schools, and hospitals to catch terrorists, murderers, or any other undesirable because that it completely stupid. If your military is unable to do that with the assistance of Americans and Europeans, then your politicians are very incompotent and don't deserve a country.

>you could just pirate it for free
"Everything you put on the internet is forever" isn't actually true. File sharing hosters die, seeders disappear etc. A game being taken off all store fronts means that it will eventually become inaccessible.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=spec+ops%3A+the+line
This game will never become lost media, it is simply too popular, there isn't a single game you can point to that was similarly as popular as SpecOps and which is now lost to time
Almost every single video game is midwit trash compared to classic literature. Huffing your own farts, and jerking off to Gravity's Rainbow and Kant doesn't make someone an intellectual. It's the most midwit take on earth to suggest that every work must serve a higher purpose, and that any work that is a lesser form of another isn't worthy of existence. Even the Library of Alexandria contained works that served no purpose other than entertainment. The problem lies solely in the destruction of cultural works, it is treating creative works like commodity. That game has significance in the medium not because it is smart, or even a good game. It's significance lies only in the fact it was doing something different in a genre where everything was the same.
Will this be the case decades from now? You can name some huge games from the 80s and 90s to younger people and they will have no clue what you are talking about.
>You can name some huge games from the 80s and 90s to younger people and they will have no clue what you are talking about.
That's not what lost media is you moron
If there is no one who remembers something, and the only method of obtaining it is piracy it is inevitable that it will eventually become lost media unless something changes or serious preservation efforts are taken. Since there will eventually come a time where there is no demand, and thus remaining copies of the original will become more scarce.

>The game blames me for playing it!
I can't believe it's 2024 and we're still having this discussion. I thought it would be simple to see that the message of the game wasn't blaming the player for playing the game but rather make you ask yourself why do you find war entertaining when the real deal is horrendous, chaotic, miserable and painful for everyone involved directly or indirectly and that there's really no heroes in it.
It's not
>Why are you playing this game
It's
>Why do you find war fun?
On the same level of "Do you like hurting people?"
Jesus christ 12 years and we're still at it with this whole damn discussion
>reditsons
Legitimately who are you quoting?
>>Why do you find war fun?
That's a stupid question to ask. This is a video game not a real war, once you remove real human suffering from war it becomes a game.
That's the same type of moronic thinking that playing GTA makes you want to steal cars. The difference was Hotline was a fun game with good music while Spec Ops was just mediocre and trying to come off as deeper then it was.

>I can't believe it's 2024 and we're still having this discussion. I thought it would be simple to see that the message of the game wasn't blaming the player
Decs came right out and said the "best" ending was to shut the game off.
NOOOOO THE GAME FORCED ME TO DO IT IT'S FRICKING BULLSHIT
Fricking morons, it's a turd person shooter with an on rails campaign like everything else from that era. They actually managed to do something interesting with it which has given the game more longevity than every other forgettable contemporary. Barely anyone will remember shit like the terrible medal of honor reboot. People will remember that game that makes you white phosphorous civilians will you have a schizo meltdown and the game starts turning into a fever dream with psychological horror elements.
Anon, unless you're mentally moronic with an IQ of 25, you can differentiate real war from a video game. You sound like those troons on twatter who compare real life child porn with e-girl art. One is real, the other isn't
The game, and the devs by proxy, have too far up their own ass that they're trying to sound fricking deep but come off as moronic
>why it MATTERED
>why it's VALID
>why it's SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
This leftie newspeak is so obnoxious
God what a shitty game, I'm still mad and I just pirated it
this mindbroken by a game no one forced you to think about, play or even discuss?
What about you, nobody's forcing you to be here either.
so why was it taken down?
Officially its because some song licenses expired and no one thought it would be cost effective to renew them for a decade old game.
Copyright licenses on the music expired.
>be underage
>have your developmental psychology permanently intertwined with some frick-off eceleb
>tell older people what to think about xyz
holy shit boomers endured this?
Name a video game that isn't midwit trash.
Zoomers don't know this game existed. You mean milennials, specifically milennials on leddit.
Now they realise why physical releases are important.
bcs homosexuals like you keep clicking their shitty videos
It was an okay game, would make little to no difference if it never existed.
dev removed it because one of the points was to show the horror of (game spoilers) the white phosphorus, but since a NEVER WILL BE A REAL COUNTRY did it and the US doesn't care, the game is "redundant"
>Open video to random spot
>gay pronounces "Military industrial complex" as "military......industriallll...compleeeeeeexxxxxxx"
I hope the vocal cords of everyone who speaks like this rot.
Millennials love this shit. They've been on the war bad train for ages. Bunch of limp wristed gays.
If you sell something, it should be available forever. None of this "UGH YOU'RE JUST BUYING A LICENSE CHUD WE CAN TAKE ANYTHING AWAY AT ANY MOMENT" bullshit we've been conditioned into and Zoomers are entirely right to demand more out of things they pay money for.
Sooner or later they'll realize the solution was just to not pay money for it.
Didn't Last of Us 2 do something similar to this game and people hated it? Forcing you to do a bad thing then wanting you to feel bad about it, the difference being Spec Ops it's killing some civilians and in Last of Us it's a hecking doggo.
A lot of games zoomies like you will quickly realize make for good essay or video content but are actually bad to play, look at silent hill 4.
Soon many games you can remember the releases of will be memory holed. Enjoy the digital future.
why is caring about anything for zoomers or reddit?
have a nice day OP you apathetic shit
I bet the only time you care about anything is when it's countering others for caring about something you fricking souless NPC shitheel
>Why do people care that one of the very first BIG games to criticize CoD and the like is being delisted because of moronic music licenses issues
Gee OP. its a mystery
>zoomers
it's millennial games-as-art youtubers, zooms zooms don't play single player shit... to them Iraq Wars are distant to as Vietnam War is to you
>to them Iraq Wars are distant to as Vietnam War is to you
As distant as it was to gen x.
>Iraq wars are distant to zoomers
Well it's a good thing they're a year at best away from going and dying in the middle east for our enjoyment.
I dont even get what these gay morons are going on about.
>You cannot buy new copies of X game that is 10+ years old.
Yes that's how shit generally goes, or did before digital distribution garbage.
>THE WIPEOUT CLONE LOST FOR HECKIN EVER :OOOOOO
>implying zoomers can pirate
killing bad :O
but killing good? ',:|
The American military is good, actually. Israel's too. Sucks to be brown.
>lost Vietnam
>lost Iraq
>lost Afghanistan
Their recent track record is not very impressive
We'll get that record back with Haiti. Just you wait.
Those losses had frick all to do with the performance of their military. Also they won in the invasion of Grenada, invasion of Panama and the gulf war.
>Grenada
I would hope we'd win against Grenada, they had frick all in the way of defenses other than some local Paul Blart-tier militiamen and a small Cuban presence. A totally unjustified operation, by the way.
>Panama
See the above, almost all of it applies here too, especially the "unjustified operation" part.
>Gulf War 1
Fought against a loyal American proxy whose leader thought he had our explicit diplomatic blessing to stick his fingers in the Kuwaiti cookie jar and force them to stop screwing Iraq's economy sideways via selling illegally-drilled IRAQI oil. In other words, we rolled over Saddam because we pulled a sick trickstab on him.
>Gulf War 2
Not going to go into this one because you'd have to be clinically moronic to waste a single breath defending this embarrassing failure.
>unjustified operation
I didn't go over whether or not they were justifiable or not so why are you bringing it up?
>we rolled over Saddam because we pulled a sick trickstab on him
No it's because the American military was superior to his.
>you'd have to be clinically moronic to waste a single breath defending this embarrassing failure.
You'd also have to clinically moronic to blame the military for this failure as opposed to the politics.
Pssst, I don't think you're aware of this, but politics always directs the military
Yes doesn't always affect it's capability.
hold on a second about that first one there
the reason why usa lost is because there were talks about invasion but that didnt happen since china could step in so the capital gets bombed galore and north vietnam talks a treaty telling usa to stop bombing and leave and they wont invade the south
however weeks later the treaty was broken and south vietnam was invaded
at least the evacuation was successful
also you should play this
zoomers can't pirate
remember, zoomers are NPCs. they can't do something that's outside of their corporate programming.
I couldnt finish it, the game was trash.
Your idea of zoomers acting out is one video with 28k views?
>Pirate chads win again
>game is no longer available to buy
>but that is a good thing because I didn't like it
You shot that civilian that rushed at you from behind the corner, didn't you?
It was a self defense situation.
why did it get taken off steam?
>when playing Spec Ops
NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE WHITE PHOSPHOROUS, THINK OF THE HECKIN CIVILIANS!
>when playing a grand strategy/4x game like Starsector
You want to bombard this planet with nuclear weapons, causing deaths in the billions? Sure thing f@m! be sure to pillage the nanoforge and other goodies first.
>Nooo but you must understand that (starts to drop several video essays about the line and what makes it unique)
>2024 and not owning spec ops the line
Lmao, you should be mad at yourself for not buying it years ago.
Lots of cope in this thread.
It's an interesting game but not a fricking "super duper hecking deep and spentacular" game. Soiboi millennials are stupid.
This whole discussion is disingenuous. Threads on this game used to be like
>This game is stupid
>I think it was neat
>But it is your fault tho
>I found it fun.
Now it's just fricking
>REEEEE ZOG PROPAGANDA WP IN GAZA
>why are people concerned about the realization that a game can be removed from purchase overnight with no warning?
I will never "play" this game but it's concerning to see this happen. First it's licensing but who's to stop publishers from pulling games because they "didn't age well" or were deemed insensitive?
>Why are zoomers acting like this is the burning of the Library of Alexandria or some shit?
Plebs like you didn't care about this library too
>Zoomers
>Spec Ops: The Line
The game is over a decade old. Zoomers aren't the ones obsessed with it.
marketing. i bet the vast majority of people out there haven't even played it. but the marketing says it's the deepest shit ever, so it's gotta be. truly, war=le bad.
>He made the same thread again
What is wrong with you? What do have such hard-on for this game you hate. I agree it midwit trash.
>Tell what a game tells you to do to progress
>"YOU MONSTER!!!" 10/10 writing
it sets a precedent.
it's absolutely disgraceful that they'd take a game down.
and then corpos whine when people pirate.
I still have it in my Steam Library.
If you seriously took that long to buy Spec Ops, you probably never would have. It's like the mary sue of video game twists at this point.
>why midwit: the game mattered
>why X thing mattered
I want the universe to implode just for this pseudo intellectual click bait title alone.
>third worlds pirates can still play it
>this only affects the moronic first country spoiled rich babies who believe "piracy is bad!"
Beautiful
zoomies only like this game because they lack media literacy.
>Why are zoomers acting like this is the burning of the Library of Alexandria or some shit?
i wasn't aware of this or that anyone cared till you posted this fine example of theirtube slop on Ganker
>The game is midwit bait trash, and if you really wanted to play it so bad you could just pirate it for free.
correct
you're a moron. I won't even give you a (You)
This game was fine
It had nice details, I specially loved how the menu changes depending on how far you gotten into the story
That kind of thing is something you don't see anymore in games
>Israel drops white phosphorous on Palestinian maternity wards
>spec ops gets pulled from all stores
Hmmmmmmmm?
>Amnesty International documented the use of white phosphorus artillery shells by the Israeli army in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza
~~**~~
>posting uncensored asscheeks
that's gross anon.
I loved the soundtrack and I thought it was fun enough playing on the hardest mode going full tilt into becoming death after the twist.

Ganker is full of morons
in the 00s game devs were paid to push middle east shooters just like how nowadays devs are paid to push the rainbow alphabet.
it's all propaganda
same as it ever was
kek get fricked zoomies
hory shet
>devs never played cod
opinion discarded
I replayed it yesterday; it's been several years since I first went through it.
I appreciate what the devs did and the era in which they did it more than before, but the game is still overrated as hell.
You took a loading screen message personally. Get filtered.
>game gives you choices in literally every scenario
>"(you) choose how you approach the situation"
>white phospherous attack does not give you a choice
>"Go ahead anon. Keep playing the game and prove to me that you're the bad I guy I forced you to be. Stroke my ego more"
The game doesn't prove shit. Every homosexual circlejerks the idea that (you) are the one who chooses if you want to be a bad guy or a good guy. Yet they never bring up how the focal point of the game doesn't give you any options. It's so pretentious that I'm baffled I used to suck its dick and praise it for how groundbreaking it was.
What do you mean you didn't have a choice at white phosphorus? you could've just turned the game off
It's the EXACT same scenario after finishing a pacifist run in Undertale, you can choose to go for a genocide run and kill everyone or leave the game alone and let all the cartoon animals live in peace
I bet you're one of those midwits who think humans don't have free will
In one you've already played through the game, while having had the option for genocide since the start.
In the other you're nowhere close to done and the only choice is to have wasted the game's price tag on a subpar experience that ends abruptly or to go with the obviously bad choice with predictable outcomes.
I don't think you can go Genocide on a first run of Undertail, in that way it's manipulatuve as well.
>you could've just turned the game off
So the game is so shit that it doesn't even want me to play it?
Spec Ops: The Line mattered because try having a gamer sit down to read Heart of Darkness, or even have them watch Apocalypse Now which the shortest cut of runs for two and a half hours.
Despite this they'll play Spec Ops: The Line which is a 6 hour or so game and binge watch hour long TV episodes. It's fricked up.
>The "correct" way to react to this game according to devs is... to stop playing the game part-way in! (NO REFUNDS!)
Then why does the "going full schizo" ending seem to be the most entertaining one?
I've always hated media that tries to say you're a bad person for passively enjoying something vicariously. By that logic, the creator is worse than me because they made the fricking media.
>By that logic, the creator is worse than me because they made the fricking media.
STOP NOTICING THINGS, IT'S ANTI-SEMITIC GOY
I just wish the game had better gameplay. It's your average cover shooter (especially on FUBAR difficulty, frick that was tedious to clear), but the setting and seeing how shit devolves over time was the driving factor, despite the poor illusion of choice.
Because it is, just slower?
Also, americans hate this game due to military industrial complex propaganda
The Line threads always glow
>inane discussions about a game from 12 years ago are of VITAL IMPORTANCE
take your meds and have a nice day you fricking moron
The storytelling of Spec Ops wasn't "the player is bad" you morons, it was a storytelling method to make empathize with and understand the MC. The purpose wasn't to ridicule the buyer.
>t. 140iq mensa
Maybe we can stop having these gay threads then.
>midwit bait
I was going to disagree, but the fact that you made this thread proves you right. I kneel.
i remember shooting into the ground to get the mob to leave and the people on the boards not realizing you could do that.
i enjoyed the game even though it was probably not meant for me since i didn't really play any COD or military shooter
