Rika_Furude 11/22/17 3:34:46 AM #1:	I think I saw Spec Ops on steam a while back but thought it was another generic fps game or something, i didnt actually give it any attention. But while playing Nier Automata, which is fucking amazing, I saw constant references to how similar the story is to Spec Ops The Line. So how good is it really? Also, is the gameplay good? Won't be as good as nier probably but if the story is tops I'll buy it no matter how generic the gameplay is --- http://www.imgur.com/oQHLBrx.jpg http://www.imgur.com/ah5IE8D.jpg http://www.imgur.com/USV84z9.jpg http://www.imgur.com/PSjlohO.jpg <cite>Rika_Furude posted [p:890852294] in How is Spe...

DocileOrangeCup 11/22/17 3:36:18 AM #3:	it's a 3rd person shooter. the game play is reliably generic but the story is pretty great, you have to pay attention a lot though. dont read spoilers. --- https://i.imgtc.com/usDFlRA.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/GSrk8Nh.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/yo9VSX9.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/BnnNepT.jpg https://tinyurl.com/Cornboard <cite>DocileOrangeCup posted [p:890852329] in How is Spe...

Banjo2553 11/22/17 3:49:17 AM #11:	Rika_Furude posted... how is it overrated? It depends on how you look at it really. The game tries to subvert the things military shooters usually put you through and makes you question the morality in it all.
