Thank God for Steam sales or I would've have felt screwed out of my money, Spec Ops the Line.

5 hours gameplay in the singleplayer lol. Sometimes I think the game developers forget that the story is there to enhance the game, not to take over. I'm going to try multiplayer a bit, but I'm not that impressed, hell Mass Effect 3 had a better cover system. Did I have fun? Yeah, somewhat, except for the long loading times that was very very annoying.

So question to those that bought this game for full price when it just came out, are you guys happy?

Edit: I understood that the story would be heavy when I bought this (and thank God you can skip it), but five hours in the singleplayer is laughable.

The developers never wanted multiplayer just so you know but they were forced by the publishers to include it. The online is pretty bad.

So their vision was to create this short singleplayer game and then charge full price for something you can complete in 5 hours? Wow...

I bought it for full price and I was satisfied by it, in fact Spec Ops: The Line and Max Payne 3 are probably the best two games I played this year. Funny how those two games are both shooters.

Sounds like the usual length of shooter game these days.

It took me seven hours to finish the storyline and I was rather pleased with the game thanks to is awesome story.

Shooter games mostly live on multiplayer, people don't buy COD cause of its awesome scripted events singleplayer campaign. When I buy a game I expect a bit more than 5 hours.

No it was to create a longer single player with no multiplayer. And it took me seven hours to beat.

Even 7 hours is not worth the full price. And I don't see much of a replay value in it either, no killscore or stats and you don't feel like bad ass. Most of time all I thought was, "Yeah yeah, shut up and let's get to killing".

Point of what? That war is hell? That people are bad? Am I suppose to be moved or be enlightened by some video game character making tough choices? The game was too short, the controls could've been better, too linear and the loading times sucked. I don't see the justification for paying full price especially after finding out that they didn't even intend multiplayer with it.

Before you buy the next game go and check the average playtrough time for it :

Very useful site, can save you a lot of disappointments in the future.

For example:
Spec Ops: The line
Average 6h 11m

For me there's a big difference between an RPG and a FPS/Third person shooter. But yeah, sometimes I do wonder whether or not people care too much about stories, hell I think I saw posts praising Dear Esther.

I got it on sale for about 6 bucks. Thought it was more than worth it and would have been satisfied even if I'd paid full price. I don't judge a game on its length (or at least, that's not high on my list of factors), but I also don't tend to play shooters though, as I don't really enjoy that genre, so maybe that's why I liked it so much. As for the load times I don't recall there being an issue.

Mindless shooters seems to be more your type of games. May I sugest every CoD game from 4, Medal of Honour (the modern series), Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2, Battlefield 3.

All contain explosive combat and **** stories.

The campaign don't.

But they focus on blowing up other people online more.

Like I said before, people don't buy COD cause of the singleplayer campaign.

With this game all I heard was about how great the singleplayer was (well the story) and not one word mentioned about MP, hell I didn't even think it had any. Then I find out that it's tagged on (and more search on the net reveals that's barely played). I just can't see how they justify selling that game at full price 49,99 euros (when it was launched) when it's so freaking short. ME had stories too, but it had a long playtime and high replay value (ignoring the crappy ending for ME 3).

Yeah war is hell. And some people are bad. The games goes a lot deeper than just that though. However since that doesn't interest you and you just want to be ‘badass' and blow stuff up, then yeah the game should have been longer and multiplayer may be a main reason for that. Not much else to say.

Like I said, go play CoD multiplayer.

The Purpose of Spec Ops: The Line is to show that war is not 'cool', 'badass' or 'awesome'. Multiplayer was tagged on and completely destroys the message the campaign was trying to spread.

It is a very heavy story game. You should not of brought it if you knew it was going to be heavily story based.

ME also has a lot of story, but it has a playtime longer than freaking 5 hours. Hell, I think it took me around 35 hours or so to complete ME 2. Not to mention there's a high replay value in it. I don't see the justification in paying 49,99 euros for a game like Spec Ops that you can complete in one sit through.
