Worst Game Ever - Spec Ops: The Line

Every Week High Score Reviews let our Editors sound off on the worst games they’ve ever played, and nothing has sat so wrong with Josh as Spec Ops: The Line.

If you want to play this game for the story, then watch the film or read the book instead. They are far far far superior in every way.

Please tell me this is satire.

Gazondaily4228d ago (Edited 4228d ago )

That or the author has only played a handful of games.

I'm tempted to send Lococycle to him but I'm afraid he would have a heart attack.

AliTheSnake14228d ago

This is the most underrated game of last gen.

VegasDawg4227d ago

Send them Superman 64. That should do the trick.

brish4227d ago

My view on the game is it had a few issues mechanically but it had an amazing and thought provoking story.

I would recommend it to everyone.

EZMickey4228d ago

Nah, in all seriousness, I get the author's point.

As third person shooters go, it wasn't the most fluid or strategic or fulfilling in terms of gunplay and as for the story, the book and film are considered masterpieces in their own mediums, whereas Spec Ops is considered to be great in spite of it's flaws.

That said, I don't think it qualifies for the worst game, but it obviously rubbed him the wrong way and everyone has their personal best and worst games, regardless of general popularity.

I usually like pieces like this because they dare to scrutinize a game regardless of it's public opinion, however this piece just doesn't sink into it as much as it could.

Magicite4227d ago

Everybody I know who have played this game (myself included) have praised it.

annoyedgamer4228d ago

This is a very late review...

DarkOcelet4228d ago

I thought it was excellent . You need to lay off the drugs for a while .

ScottyHoss4228d ago

Nah man this guys rigid as a breadstick, dude needs to get high lol

Klonoa-dreamtraveler4228d ago

so he couldn't adapt to the controls he expected a call of duty like game from a trailer and hes one of those hipster guys that whines the book was better...

anyway this game is awesome and should make another spec ops.

HonestDragon4228d ago

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there. Spec Ops: The Line is (for you) the "worst game ever"? Are you freaking kidding me? How many games have you actually played, yet come to the conclusion that Spec Ops: The Line is the worst of everything that you have played? I just find that incredibly hard to believe. Plus, there are a lot of details in this article that are really off, which makes me think you barely even played this to begin with.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

Cacabunga436d ago

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb436d ago

I have this. Never even realised it had become rare.

staticall436d ago

@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.

I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.

RaidenBlack436d ago

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS436d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal437d ago

I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.

Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.

Chocoburger437d ago

Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.

Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅

NotoriousWhiz436d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel437d ago

I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed

TorpeAlex437d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai436d ago

I lost my physical copy in a move, it still bothers me to this day 😅😔

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga811d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics811d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend811d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long811d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons811d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor811d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52811d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602810d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor811d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
