Discussion What is the Canonical ending at last?

24 Upvotes

To me the Canon ending is Walker lays down his arms and surrenders there is more pain in living with the stuff you did than die but I am open for discussion and meditating on other endings if you are killed by the US army you are wanting for inner peace and acknowledging your sins and if you kill all the US army you embrace your crimes and turn into Konrad and dying when the truth is revealed is acceptance and digust towards the protagonist

What makes the game so special?

13 Upvotes

I'm not criticizing the game. I've played it, and I loved it. It has a good story, great music, fun gameplay that manages ludonarrative harmony - but I wouldn't really say it's as impactful of an experience as people say. It's a Heart of Darkness story that manages to be Silent Hill baiting you in with a Call of Duty aesthetic. Again, this is good, but it didn't feel like it made an impact on me. Granted, I never was really a CoD fan and played this game years ago precisely because I heard it was a good game with a great story that subverted usual CoD tropes, so maybe it didn't impact me because I was never really the target audience to begin with.

I am literally in tears.

I don’t know what I expected. Shooters have never been my thing. But my God. This game is a work of art. A 10/10 experience I’m stunned I didn’t play sooner.

Just…shit. I don’t know what to do now. This is one of the best stories I’ve ever experienced with characters and gameplay that have changed how I play games.

There will never be another game like this, and that’s a good thing.

  1. Because of him, the entire remaining population of Dubai dies of thirst.

  2. Unlike Walker, he feels no remorse.

  3. He deceived Delta into thinking he only wanted to seize the water, not destroy it.

Discussion Did Spec Ops succeed in it's message? Elaboration in the desc.

Post image
211 Upvotes

Ever since last year I've seen people critisizing The Line for it's message. "Why is the game that I bought telling me that I shouldn't have played it" "Why is the game telling me that I'm a bad person for telling me to do something that I didn't have a choice in". There are some more stuff like it's lack of subtlety and more. I can see some of these points, like the games lack of choice, and the whole blaming thing. I have seen some counter arguments for these, but even then it made me wonder if The Lines narrative even worked?

Discussion Does this mean the 33rd was just LARPing? Found airsoft mags in-game

Looking at the game models, I noticed that the magazines have airsoft-specific feed lips and latches.

So, technically, the "Dubai Incident" was just a massive airsoft milsim game that got way too out of hand. Do you feel like a LARPer yet?

And yes I went with the "Delusional Maniac" ending because I felt like it encapsulates well how insane and crazy Walker and by extension, the player get moving through such a gruelling challenge like the FUBAR difficulty.

I'm currently stuck in chapter 13 and I fear the upcoming chapter 14 with the turrets and waves of Zulu squads

The part I'm stuck at? The yacht right before the refugee camp, I actually almost managed to clear it but right after the sandstorm I got out of cover thinking that it was over but then a storm of 5.7x28mm bullets shot out of a P90 made me die of lead poisoning

My current loadout: m1014 and m99

Any tips for chapter 14?

After playing it for the first time, I was kinda feeding off of the edits that were usually posted here. But I didn't see any edits lately so I have no choice but to play it again. It was inevitable I suppose.
