The game has good character development and nice twists and turns etc, but you're still spending an awful lot of time sitting behind some random waist-heigth object and popping out to try to get I suppose, but what I really mean to reflect is that subversion is not wrong because its used in a game. How anyone would get emotionally affected by the game without being completely ignorant or pretentious about it is beyond me. And like any other shooter out there it does a pretty damn good job at reminding you you're playing a game. Anyone with any sense would come to the same conclusion that (thank god) several other people in this thread has come to, it's just a game. Either way I'll probably never play this game, but it's interesting to see people making a big deal out of what seems like the whole 'No Russian' mission taken to the next logical step. So now I'm thinking maybe the fucked up story development is actually meaningful in some way. Instead you're acting like it's this big deal.

I thought this was going to be a complaint that the hype about the games somewhat fucked up story development over time isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Um.you do know that it's a video game right? You aren't actually killing those people in real life. I feel the responsibility lies most on how the story is unfolded and what the conversation it creates is more so then if they do things subversively.

In this case, the fact that Americans can and do terrible things- not just to our enemies but also to ourselves. In my opinion it's a good thing because it forces us (often subconsciously) to discuss something we wouldn't necessarily discuss or think about. Is not that act of betrayal one that all of us can relate to and also upon reflection opens us up to understanding a greater sense of the world?

Maybe it's just perspective, but when you watch a good movie is the director wrong for making you believe the focus was not actually a good person and lied to the audience about that as much as he does to the characters within the story? Interesting as that may be, It's something recommendable only as an academic exercise or commentary, and not as an entertainment product. By forcing the players to do things, and later punishing them for it, Yeager has violated that trust. I wish this thread had a spoiler tag I would counter your comment here: I am on record as saying that there is a bond of trust between players and designers. ***For anyone reading this- just know I get spoilery- You are warned***** The only way to save Dubai, is not to play. That I was to exit the region once I found survivors.It's too late for me, but you can select that option from where you are sitting. At the very end of the game I was reminded that my original mission was recon and nothing more. I am warning you now, you have no excuse. Whether or not you blame the developer, you are still making the choice.

I leave that to you, and your god if you have one, to sort out. Perhaps you will choose to put the blood of Dubai on Yager’s hands. What I do know is that The Line traps you and forces you to do terrible things. Whether this was to make a point, or to grab headlines, or merely out of sadistic pleasure, I don’t know. There is not choice that you can make within the game that will prevent you from killing thousands of people needlessly. I have paid 60 (or maybe 30) dollars, why would Yager want to punish me and all of those innocent people for supporting their company?”īut there isn’t. “They can’t design a game that gives me the ability to commit terrible acts without at least giving me some choice. “Surely there must be a way around those things” you might say. Not just by the developers, not just by the people within the game. You will get your squadmates killed, you will doom the region, and you will be blamed for every drop of blood spilled as you work your way through Dubai. You will burn 50 innocent people to death, you will destroy the remaining water supply, and you will kill the entire 33 platoon, who are only there to help.

Your mission in The Line will not go as planned. I have already travelled down that dark path, and all I can do is send this message back to you in the hopes that I can redeem myself. I am here to save you, and the whole of Dubai from that reckless action. You may have heard that Spec Ops: The Line is an interesting game, and it is. Every fiber of me wants to post this without a spoiler warning, but I’m not actually capable of being that much of a dick.
