Spec Ops: The Line: Apocalypse Soon

War changes men, there are very few men or women who see comba that aren't changed on a fundamental level. Mentally, we as humans can only take so much stress before we mentally break. Video Games have never been shy about portraying the violence without any consequences. Spec Ops: The Line seeks to change that.

The game want us to watch the horror of war and it caused the hallucinations.The game want us players go deep as possible. Even more frightening is that the game loading screen changed and it say: “This is all your fault” The game insulted us for our actions and when we reach to final mission and it said : “You are still good person”. But are we good people after what we have done ? Spec Op The Line has a great story and a terrifying one, too.

I loved this game. I think I played it all the way through over a weekend. Sort of Hellblade, but a shooter.

TheOttomatic913048d ago

A perfect comparison no wonder why I enjoyed Hellblade so much.

I wonder if this game got an upturn in sales since it was outed as a bit of a hidden gem? I remember it was an initial financial failure but I think it was sold as a gung-ho "ooh-ra!" type military game. Loved it though, such an affecting story.

"it was sold as a gung-ho "ooh-ra!" type military game"

I certainly don't remember them advertising it as some deep storied game. I remember them talking about the sand tech and how you could change the environment but outside that it was all run and gun.

I can't remember why I played it...might have been bored and wanted something different (edit: it was Nolan North voicing the main character and my love of Uncharted that drew me to it now that I'm looking at the game)? I remember getting JUST deep enough in the game for the story bits to grab me as I seem to remember people talking about it after I played it. I think I saw TotalBiscuit do a video on the game shortly after I played it and was like "I'm not the only one!" and then it's been this "hidden gem" since.

tim6663048d ago

For me it was one of the best games last gen. This would have been a goodchoice for a remaster.

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

Cacabunga448d ago

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb448d ago

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

staticall448d 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.

RaidenBlack448d ago

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS448d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal449d 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.

Chocoburger449d 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. 😅

NotoriousWhiz448d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel448d 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

TorpeAlex448d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai448d 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.

EvertonFC823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga823d 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!

LordoftheCritics823d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend822d 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-Long823d ago

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

melons823d ago

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

Skuletor823d 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.

ravens52822d ago

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

monkey602822d 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.

Skuletor823d ago

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

Terry_B822d ago (Edited 822d 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.
