@@Sundarbanz322ever met a combat vet? Imagine their state of self-reflection.
@@exotixzamateurva8957 I understand your point but in the context of the game, this quote only appears in the loading screen. The loading screen quotes late in the game usually break the fourth wall. This makes me wonder if this quote is directed at the player or walker himself. If it was directed at walker, does the quote mean that there is still time for walker to change? Even after the fucking war crimes and things he did?
@@Sundarbanz322 The way I see it is the game is sarcastically reassuring the player of their own goodness/morality as a person, and doubling as what Walker is probably telling himself over and over in his head to cope with the consequences of his actions. In short, the game isn't being genuine in tone when it says this.
@@TheUnslainDragon Thanks for the explanation!
"...how did you survive all of this?
Who said I did..."
He is in hell rigth?
@@ping-bi3dmWalker didn't survive Dubai
@@ping-bi3dm It's kind of open to interpretation. I like to see it as this:
After the horrors of Dubai, Walker didn't shoot himself, but was unable to contact any help. As he had already destroyed the communication towers. Then he forces himself to walk along the dead city and fight until either those who are left that remember him or the lack of water kills him. All while trapped in his personal hell where he'll be forced to repeat all of his mistakes and misery again and again.
@@moister3727i see this more of a "my body might be alive, but my spirit has already died" than a literal death.
Dead or not, he's still in hell, one way or another.
@jacob_leprosy4459 my interpretation is that he is simply saying the Walker that entered Dubai days before no longer exists. In that ending he was able to snap out from his Konrad alter-ego and stay sane *enough* to be saved, but the experience foverer changed him. He is a completely different man.

You're no savior. Your talents lie elsewhere.
Holy shit, Spec Ops: The Line was one of the most soul-crushing, depressive, and horrifying masterpieces I have ever played. It's like Silent Hill 2 as a 3rd-person cover shooter.
I'm not sure what that says about me that I found it fun. I guess I can just take it as fiction? At the very least it was a breath of fresh air, getting to play as the bad guy instead of the game constantly lecturing you about goodness.
@@zeriel9148it’s called getting immersed in the story, you would need to get in the right mindset for it

Spec Ops: The -Line- Greatest Ride of Your Life
I thought the darker side was a hardcore inmersive fps such as Insurgency due to it's HQ sounds that makes u feel into a battlefield(source version rlly gave me some panic moments the first weeks) or Ready or Not
but this is the perfect punchline
Hell, Spec Ops the line is an arcade shooter but it was even more depressing than Insurgency and Ready or not
I figured it'd be ArmA, because that game is something else entirely
@@K3ntucky123yeah, that shit really makes you think and comprehend the message of the game, and that’s a lot for an arcade cover shooter.
Spec Ops: The Line hammers in the fact that you're doing something awful with the narrative, but I agree that the more realistic games can leave me with a feeling of guilt just from hearing people's characters break down into tears in what would otherwise be a "normal" situation in FPS games
Oh yes, spec ops.
The PTSD simulator.
CoD, Medal of Honor and Battlefield: The light side that mostly focuses on great multiplayer, authenticity and in some cases, great campaigns (especially the second, RIP Medal of Honor)
Spec Ops: The Line: The dark side that focuses on storytelling, critiquing the subgenre it's a part of and subliminally playing the player
Honestly, both have their place, even though The Line has earnt its place as my depression game and my favourite story-driven game of all time (well, second to Metal Gear Solid 2).
Well said.
@@TheUnslainDragon I mean, my preference for shooters is more fantastical, but every once in a while, a good military shooter is worth my time.
What I love the most is how Spec Ops used the basic narrative plots and tropes of military FPS to lead us into being war criminals, like its so cool.
Beautiful take. And quite frankly I believe reality is somewhere in the middle. War is a terrible and evil thing and must be an absolute last resort. At the same time, there are people out there who simply cannot be reasoned with and bring war to you.
@@mobiusraptor7Cod WaW and to an extent, Battlefield 1
I actually like thr idea of Spec Ops: The Line. War is not enjoyable, there is never a happy ending when you are in it. I often hear people say it's a bad game because no matter what you do, you are the bad guy. Or how it has a bad story because when you follow orders, you are then told you are a bad person for following orders. I feel like I have heard this exact same thing, but in real life. Wasn't there a person who was held on trial for his actions, even though he was just following orders? I like that this game tries to go beyond the basic, shoot them all, kind of game. And that's coming from a gamer that specifically cares for gameplay above all in the games I play.
If I remember correctly Walker actually disobeys his main order. Ironically if he did follow it the game would have been over by the first mission because his team was to perform reconnaissance and not engage in combat. After the first firefight (which was justified as I believe it was an ambush and thus it was self-defense) they should’ve ended the mission and reported in but Walker told his squad mates to push forward.
@@xxthexboxnoobxx4174 Ah, I see. I haven't played the game yet, but I see the main picture now.
@@xxthexboxnoobxx4174 "After the first firefight they should’ve ended the mission and reported in"
They had actionable intelligence that members of the US military were in danger up until the very first firefight with the 33rd. Isn't "No man left behind" a thing in the US military anymore? As spec ops, they would be expected to exercise autonomous judgement and not callously leave one of their own to their death.
As soon as they started fighting the 33rd, however, yes, Walker and his team should have just left.
>War is not enjoyable
Stop lying, we all know this isn't true. Action movies and video games are 100% accurate documentaries of war.
war isn't enjoyable, but I bet there are some fighters out there enjoying war

@@goldenfiberwheat238 it's a 1985 Soviet WW2 movie, and it's probably the best war movie I've ever seen. You can watch it for free on youtube, I believe. Be warned, though: It's arguably even more disturbing than Spec Ops
@@goldenfiberwheat238Google
Soviet film about horrors of war.
Really hope to experience something much like Spec Ops: The Line again. and not just simply horror in a military setting. the military setting ITSELF has to be the horror. The feel of CoD WaW and Black Ops 1 is kinda close enough, just make it even less heroic.
WaW unironically took little ol' me's desire to enlist and squashed it.
But Treyarch had big brain hiring Trent Reznor as the composer for Black Ops 2.
Man did not have to go as hard as he did but he did anyways and Black Ops 2's music is iconic as a result.
Trent Reznor only composed the game's main theme. The rest of the soundtrack was actually composed by Jack Wall.

Spec Ops the Line is essentially the game version of Schrödinger’s Cat. You will either find it to be a deep game that challenges the action-shooter genre or you will find it to be one of the most pretentious and middle of the road games with a bad story twist. You won’t know until you play it.
For me it's a bit of both. Though the latter I feel mostly in regard to other people treating the game as the former waaaaaay too much, and forgetting that at the end of the day it's just a story in a videogame and shouldn't discourage you from playing other videogames you may or may not like. And not resonating with it/not letting it live in your head rent free every time you play a shooter doesn't make you some sort of psychopath.
Story is pretty good tho and as a game it's certainly unique in its genre. I liked it and the raised awareness of things it spawned, even if people often take it too far.
its a game that is arguing for its own obsolescence. if everyone used their critical thinking skills and had media literacy, no one would think spec ops was good. but people were dumb as shit back when the game came out, and even today, a g*mer that doesnt have a sub 80 iq is as rare as a 4 leaf clover. people literally didnt ever have any sort of ? response when it was a known thing that activision was receiving funding from the us army with every cod game they put out. and thats why spec ops the line exists. proudhon said "i wish to live in a world in which i would be executed as a reactionary". this is the core of this games philosophy.
@@b.w.s3165 If you think about it, Spec Ops: The Line can also be viewed as the video game equivalent of Neon Genesis Evangelion. You will either find it as a deep and thought-provoking masterpiece of an anime that deconstructs many of the common character archetypes often found in anime and the super robot genre in general with the sheer amount of symbolism and themes used throughout alongside the depth of its characters, or find it to be one of the most overrated and pretentious anime ever made with annoying characters and a confusing story. Watch it and find out where you lie.

I cannot listen to the black angels without immediate thoughts of that game...the best game ive ever played. But as someone fairly invested into studying physiological patterns and responses. Spec ops the line absolutely knew what they were doing to mess with peoples heads, just every little subtle detail is perfect to convey the message. It does a great job at distracting you from the bad only to dump it right back on you,
Spec Ops introduced me to the Black Angels. Bad Vibrations was a great choice of music for the game.

As someone who got the 100% on steam (and let me tell you, it is NOT an easy thing to do), Spec Ops exists to quite literally shatter your brain
Spec Ops: The Line is the actual Modern Military Shooter
I thought the second side would be Tarkov or Squad or something, but... Dear God...
who made this....
"you"
Somehow from the title alone, I knew exactly which military shooter would show up at the end, and yep, I was right
If you already played thru Spec ops the line, but you're still not satisfied with the amount of War Criminal Guilt trips because of killing civilians, i'd recommend MW2 No Russian, shorter, leaves you just as shit-feeling, bonus effect if you dont finish it, so you dont feel victimized.
Like seriously first time i played it i tried shooting civvies and it made me feel sick to the stomach so much so i restarted the mission, and played it without firing a shot on a civilian.
Not even GTA makes me feel that bad. Atleast Cops give you cause because they fire on you first.
Now it’s just used for memes by 13 year olds born in 2010 who never played on the 360 😂
Sure i felt bad killing aliens that were running away in Halo before. But even as a kiddo, playing no russian really showed me that killing is the opposite of fun. People arguing that it made kids become terrorists are so dumb. It made the opposite effect. There were no rewards, no challenge, only suffering. It was shocking in the good way.
no russian didn't have nearly the same impact on me. No set up, no pay off. You're dropped in the mission, kill unarmed civilians, and then get shot yourself. Nothing really there to make you feel anything unless you play COD as a roleplaying game and use the protagonist as a stand off for yourself. I played no russian for the first time when I was like 12, and I was/am an empathetic person, but didn't really make me feel anything. Spec ops the line, however...
Unless you are roleplaying as the character, there's nothing special about it, it's a game, yet now if you have the personality the same of an Anime Crybaby protagonist, then maybe you are the problem, idk.
Nothing any new shooter does is going to compare to the hell that The Line puts you through.
