ITT, times /v/ lied to you. I seriously can believe people recommended

It's meant to be generic. It's a commentary of the contemporary shooter of the time.

The story is what matters in that one. Not a game for everyone.

/v/ didn't lie to you, as it probably just isn't your kind of game. I hate that kind of shooter myself, but enjoyed my experience with that game.

It's the oscar bait of video games.

nu-/v/ everybody

For a generic game of its time, where many of them were shitty, this one wasn't. The gameplay was just barely passable to keep my attention.

>omg u don't understand it's only shit ironically

Gameplay is the most engaging part about action-based shooters. If the gameplay sucks the game sucks.

>>386585948
It's not meant to be shit. It's meant to be average, by the standards of it's time and targeted audience. And it largely succeeds at that.

Also, did you not actually read a SINGLE BLOODY POST in those threads that allegedly "lied" to you about the game.

Because every single bloody time the game gets mentioned, it always, without exception, starts with something like "the gameplay is generic" or "the gameplay is just dull and boring". Nobody ever, even for a slight second, ever pretended or covered up the fact that this is as generic, basic shooter as humanly possible.
Fuck, most /v/ actually fucking hates the game, the people who defend it are a minority!

In other words, you are utterly and completely full of SHIT OP and you have nobody but yourself to blame.

>>386586654
Why are you faggots so binary? Just because something isn't the best thing ever doesn't mean it's shit.

It's like I offered you a pile of silver coins and you said "they're not diamonds so they're worthless."

>>386586956
Average is shit in video games.

>>386586494
So the game was meant to suck?

>>386586956
This.

I didn't by any means say it was a flawless or perfect game. But stupid faggots (who have likely never played it) have to twist words and draw their own conclusions. You aren't supposed to enjoy the game itself, I mean, not every good game is always enjoyable. It's a game that makes you think, and there is nothing wrong with that. Granted it isn't my kind of game, I only played it once and moved on, but you can tell when someone hasn't played it.

I'm convinced these people are trolls.

If all you care about is MUHGAMEPLAY, then why do you play anything but arena shooters?

>>386585519
Who the fuck told you the gameplay was good?

>war is hell
Whoa, so deep. Thank you, game, you've changed my views.

Would have been permissible if the game didn't come out with a 60 dollaredoo price tag.

1. The gameplay in Spec Ops is awful
2. The story in Spec Ops is told poorly
3. The same story was told better in fucking BLACK OPS

Spec Ops fans are hipster cancer

>shadow of morder isnt worth full price, but its a steal for x!
Fuck people who said this, the game isn't worth the time to pirate.

>>386588218
why make a video game if you're not going to take advantage of what video games have to offer?

>>386588906
Because nobody would pay for "Spec Ops: The Telltale Story"

>>386588218
>they made the gameplay bad on purpose to make a statement
this game is a bit fucking pretentious if thats the case.
