and then immediately send you out to collect teeth from toothless lions and hooves from hobbled zebras? Or the efforts at edginess from that PS2 Bard's Tale game that constantly mocked the Chosen One trope as you played what was effectively a Chosen One story? 'A Chosen One could use that weapon to save our village, but bah! Chosen Ones are a ridiculous, tired, cliché concept. Remember those RPGs that would mock the idea of collecting ten zebra hooves and five lion fangs. What seems to get the game so much praise is that it tried to subvert the military shooter genre with its story, but I thought that they kind of shot themselves in the foot with that effort via the gameplay itself. You wander down a linear path through a ruined Middle Eastern city setting shooting thousands of dudes and then it ends after about six hours. For all its bluster, it's really just an absolutely standard, run of the mill, third person cover-shooter with occasional turret sequences. I was not very impressed with Spec Ops: The Line. I'd go for 'meh,' but it's not an option. And I beat both 'new' Medal of Honor games. It's like they keep trying to solve the problem 'How do we make a compelling single-player experience with the free-form mechanics of a Battlefield game' and the answer is 'you solved this problem back in 2008!'īattlefield 4 remains one of the most 'Why does this even exist?' single-player experiences I've ever had. It is so frickin' weird how Battlefield found a single-player narrative style that worked well with its gameplay and then, after one sequel, completely abandoned it for the boring-ass overly serious narratives of recent Battlefield games (I only played 4 single-player of the recent ones, but it was.not good) that nobody seems to like. (yeah, totally different tone and attitude, but they pretty much nail it) Justifying your sociopathic actions in a way that doesn't make you face palm.īad Company would like to have a word with you. In a world of ham dusted politically charged video games this is arguably the only military shooter ever to nail the narrative.
