you've dropped your nigger-killing rate by 90% what the fuck are you doing bro. you need to be on 2x, maybe even 5x speed

>>211682014
what do you think special ops are?

>>211681801 (OP)
It’s just a shirt ripoff of apocalypse now which in itself is a shitty ripoff of the heart of darkness.

>>211682242
My man. My dude.

If you watch something at 1/10th speed, do you increase or decrease the total viewing time?

>>211682352
tbf, Heart of Darkness is a rather mid book

>>211682406

Of all the shitty takes I've read on this board, this is certainly one of them

The story is shit, and you're just full of whatever articles and videos you watched stated. Fuck off

>>211682489
I dont even understand why people are glazing the story in the first place, it's just silly video game story with huge contrivances and generic le war is bad themes.

>>211682287
Cowardly.

>>211681801 (OP)
damn this game is so good im gonna play it again

>>211681801 (OP)
>Walker, do you feel like a hero yet?
There, I instantly fixed the game. Just gag the writers for good measure and it’s a decent heart of darkness homage

>>211681801 (OP)
>let’s made apocalypse now
>but in le video game
It was already fucking made, and the movie is 1,000 times better than whatever pretentious gamer slop you guys can come up with. Gamers are such fags, especially in recent years with all the shilling on /v/.
Get this through your thick skull: Gaming will always be looked down upon, and will never be considered art.

>Dude war is BAD, m'kay
>What if you never had a choice and we still call you a piece of shit for completing the game?

>>211682973
> and will never be considered art
Fucking good. Anyone who wants them to be art invariably makes the industry worse

>>211681801 (OP)
>railroad you into making "choices" that aren't actually choices

>"hurr, feel like a hero now, asshole?"

Faggots made this game, and faggots love it

This was the first movie game. Tomb Raider and The Last of Us swiftly followed it in 2013, and then God of War followed that in 2018. But Spec Ops started the pretentious Oscar bait trend that's been plaguing Triple A gaming

>>211683023
>Fucking good. Anyone who wants them to be art invariably makes the industry worse
I 100% agree also. Gaming should just be something to have a little fun and kill time, not try to tell something profound. The medium itself isn’t even set up to do that. Roger Ebert is correct in his criticisms about video games.

>>211682691
Not him but Apocalypse Now is neither a good Vietnam War movie nor a good adaptation of Conrad's novel
Coppola should have stuck to gangster movies and the winery

>>211681831
>That's just Apocalypse Now
Kinda but it becomes way more psycho,drug trip in the second half.
It's like if David Lynch made Apocalypse Now

>>211681801 (OP)
The story is mid at best.
You want a good video game story, play call of duty 4 modern warfare 3 black ops 6 zombies 2 HD 25th anniversary remaster legacy edition 2.

Its the best modern shooter out there.

>>211682433
>>211682352
no wonder this board has turned to absolute shit

Wasn't this game advertised with a NIN song? Like The Day The World Went Away or something?

>>211683036

isn't that the point?

First came the book Heart of Darkness, then the movie Apocalypse Now, and finally the game Spec Ops: The Line.

>>211683225
Since normies started jerking SH2 off, you get called a poser here for liking it. It's the best vidya story ever nonetheless.

well it looks like the script for a neir automata game was sat on for a while then blended up and added to the electric state.
so expect your line movie to already be out in a similar compromised state.

I fucking hate bookfags and I’d kick their fucking teeth in irl

That's basically the whole thing I guess.

>>211681801 (OP)
The story itself was pretty interesting, but it got undercut by the stupid fucking
>do you feel like a hero yet??
>dude just stop playing, why are you murdering these civilians that we forced you to murder in order to progress?!
if they hadn't been so fucking lazy, then they could have implemented different approaches to situations that had different outcomes, which would have made for an actually interesting

narrative.

Rooster, by Alice in Chains. Wasn't in the game though. But it has Hush, the Deep Purple version

>>211682352

The point is US military bad. Giving you the option to avoid the bad is contra to the purpose of the author.

>>211682014
There’s always this one faggot who has to be all serious and can’t talk about the subject. You’re not here to talk about movies, you didn’t play the game, you just want to bitch. Fuck off nobody likes you.

I wish this was on steam. My computer probably couldn’t handle it though.

>>211683127
I agree that it is not a good vietnam movie , I am not sure about the adaptation. it is pretty loose in some ways but the central theme of HoD, the breakdown of the thin veneer of civilization when no one is looking, is shown quite impressively. I like the movie a lot.

>>211684227
Its on EA origin. Which has been shut down. Sorry bro.

Films are literally the lowest form of art and media today. They're all creatively bankrupt, two hours of filler slop aimed at the lowest IQs. They can't even make anything new so it's all sequels and stolen ideas from games, books, and comics. Which will always do it way better, of course, since movies have to cut everything to fit their shit format and audience.

>>211684425
>PT: Torment
Planescape Torment: Torment? I didn't know they made a sequel,

>>211683958
The addressing the player aspect is some absolutely bizarre autistic shit, and I mean that in a literal sense.
You’d have to be literally autistic to not grasp the separation of video games and reality, and only the most pretentious pseud would ever think pretending otherwise is profound.

>>211684083
You can make that point in a much better way than
>why did you kill all those people that you were forced to in order to progress? ;___:
it's a fucking video game, buying it and then turning it off because what your character is doing is immoral is the most retarded fucking thing you could possibly do.
You can still make the player character be the bad guy without the loading screens asking you if you feel bad.
>the option to avoid bad
doesn't even need to exist, but you can't say
>hit these people with WP or you can't continue the game
and then act like I am literally worse than Hitler.

>>211686369

I interacted with this game in the only moral way: never bought it, never played it.

The problem is that the game should be addressing all of its criticisms at Walker, not the person playing him.
The passive aggressive notes at the player would, if slightly reworked, do a good job of conveying someone coping over their actions.
Calling out the player works in RPGs, but it doesn’t work when they’ve been railroaded.

>>211687129
You make a solid point.
>>211687132
As the other anon said, it’s journobait.
Saying SO is the pinnacle of game stories would be like claiming Get Out is the pinnacle of moviemaking. That said, game stories still suck balls as a rule. The best stories are ones that get the player invested, not ones that actually tell a good story.

>>211686369
I never played this but now I’m definitely keeping it that way.

>>211681801 (OP)
This game feels like the writers and the level designers were on two different pages cause it has executions and licensed music that plays during cool set pieces but then you’re supposed to feel bad for using white phosphorus after you’ve already murdered like 100 people. Unironically this could have been a very good “chud” game.

>>211683082
>But Spec Ops started the pretentious Oscar bait
No that was Bioshock

>>211683958
It sucks cause the way they use the sandstorms in the game is actually pretty cool both in terms of gameplay and visuals.

>>211687489
Actually that was minesweeper

>>211683190
No, I don't feel guilty that you gave me one path forward to complete the game and then I took that one path.
>hurrr the good ending is to stop playing
Fuck you I'm going to play the game I payed for

>>211683631
Name one you think is better then

>>211687366
Playing it is indistinguishable from watching a Walkthrough.

>>211681949
this whole
>you the player are evil for playing
was all tiny brained videogame "journalists" jacking each other off how games are art and totally legit story telling media

the game is just about an already unstable walker losing his mind in dubai

>>211689439
No, it was the writer running his mouth and the loading screen text. The whole
>you can turn it off at any time
shit was straight from the devs.
The journalists were, for once, correct in focusing on this angle. The part they fucked up was thinking it was a good thing.

>>211688590
That’s unfortunate. I was going to look up the gameplay to see if it’s any fun at least.

I've never played this game nor watched any reviews or recaps of it. Is this basically it? It seems like something a retarded person would find profound.

Honestly would be kinda kino

Am I the only one who liked Spec Ops specifically because it's violent and miserable
I want more like that

The best video game stories are still mid tier movie stories. Video games cannot, should not, and will never be movies. Rdr2 is often hailed as a masterpiece in story telling but in reality, whilst a fun game, is just a sanitised retelling of The Wild Bunch.

>>211693278
You're basically correct except
>Cawadooty shooter clone
it is very much worse than CoD, it's the blandest third person shooter you could imagine
>something a retarded person would find profound
no arguments here, it tries way too hard to be profound so it just ends up being retarded

>>211683958
They originally made it where you didn't have to fire the white phosphorous. So, none of the playtesters fired the white phosphorous, which went against there 'muh america bad' theme so they removed the choice completely in the final game.
