in reply to @margot's post:
i mean that's what you're supposed to take away from spec ops the line so good job u passed
joke's on those devs, i love going insane and committing war crimes. can't get enough of it.
I was repeatedly encouraged to play it, and then to continue to play it after I was like, "I'm not enjoying this, it's just a 3rd person military shooter pretty clearly lifting from Heart of Darkness / Apocalypse Now."
"Keeeeeep playing it's gooooood trust me!"
I'm glad the game exists, but, fuck me, at no point did I need nor enjoy it. I really should have confirmed that the people goading me on were actually familiar with even the film.
I guess on the bright side, it did hammer home that if it sucks, I should hit da bricks.
it's very funny to me, because generally the ppl who are most invested in you experiencing it are super disappointed in how underwhelming it ended up being when you get to that point. its bad for everyone!
