I thought that was fucking cool as well;)
If anyone is confused about how to tell a story in a video game, they just need to play this game, it proves it's possible. Braid is an alternate way to do it and so is Journey.

So yes looking at the comments from let's player video on youtube, specifically the ending part, I think a lot of gamers are impressed with Spec Ops.

Now to get the word out. :)

Just finished it, and I still have no clue what the fuck really happened. In a good way, strangely enough.
Must get more intel. Missing about 5 pieces. And must try all those other choices... damn...

I've been meaning to pick this one up too. ZeroPunctuation actually praised it. I think that's probably one of the best endorsements to achieve in the video game business at the moment ...

I think I might have PTSD from this game every time I hear this song in the future...

You remember how you were surprised by Enslaved? Yeah, it's that kind of experience.

I just finished. I feel a tad ill. Holy fuck.

We're as sane as you are :)

Remember, it's only a game.

Can anyone comment on the PC port? The game has me officially intrigued now, but the SteamWorks integration deters me from buying the PC version. On the other hand, I'm not fond of playing shooters on consoles. Using a controller for precision aiming does not come naturally to me. However, if the keyboard and mouse controls of the PC version suck anyway, I might as well bite the bullet and get the PS3 version instead.

So how are the controls of the PC port?

They're okay, really. I didn't even feel the need to fiddle around with mouse sensitivity which I usually do. They do their job just fine.

Damnit, that didn't make my choice any easier :-(

Not your fault though ;-)

For me, music was always a refuge from this miserable experience. And now it will always be a reminder. MASH - S11 E16 - Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.

I think you can say that if this game doesn't affect you emotionally, you already played too much ...

"Killing for yourself is murder. Killing for the government is heroic. Killing for entertainment is harmless."

Do you feel like a hero yet?
