i still can't play this game again, Lugo looks too similar to my brother and after he died i started crying like a little girl

i searched for this picture on google and accidentally saw the pic where lugo is bloodstained and hanging, i started to tear up

Who else here didn't give a **** when they found the charred civilians?

Not even being edgy, the game just didn't make it sad for me.

Soooo...I should play it then?

looks good and its like 4 quid. how could i say no?

I'm currently unemployed and close to being broke but I've bought this for the emotional rollercoaster it seems to be. Wish me luck guys.

I, for some reason, still haven't played this game

you get to shake 'n bake some ************* in it?

this image gave me cancer

You know, the game is best played when you don't know that not just a generic shooter. I was over-hyped about the game due to the spoilers and was honestly kinda disappointing because of it.

While I really do like Spec Ops: The Line, I feel like it's not as effective at making you feel like a monster as its fans make it out to be.


Now this game.

This game makes you feel like a monster.

>game literally rail roads you to only one option
>game then spends rest of the story complaining about you taking the only option available to you.

There's a point to the notion that there was no choice in going through with the white phosphorous scene. You're willingly playing the game, but dissonance comes from the realization that an action you freely took, or that an action you're about to freely take, conflicts with one of your moral objections. There was no hope to continue the game UNLESS you dropped the white phosphorous. There was no diplomatic option. The exit wasn't open, there was no exit. There so few options to choose between mercy and revenge, and it was towards the end of the game. Even with the scene at the bridge with "this soldier is an asshole and this indigenous peoples is innocent, shoot one" I shot at the personnel overhead for having me make the choice at all. That's the thing...there's only like...3 of those...

They force you to take the actions that you do, and then try to make you feel bad for it, because you chose it. In the real world, someone asks you to do something questionable, there's a myriad of choices. You can refuse. You can walk away. You can question it. You can tell the person to **** off. You can go to do said action and then never be seen again.

Fallout 4: Maxson tells me to go kill Dance, because " ****** synths". After arguing, which was a speech option, he was adamant. I said " **** , fine, Roger Wilco! ******* douchebag" with the intention of talking to, and finally sparing him. When I met him, he's telling me to do it...for the same reason Maxson wants it. After that, I shot him, because better he feel his principles were fulfilled than him kill himself with Linkin Park playing in the background. Then, I dropped the Brotherhood like a pile of potatoes and went with the Railroad.

I don't act with dissonance, because when I see it in myself, I make the ******* change. And this ******* game is trying to make me feel bad because "the way you are in vidya games is the way you are in real life! Watch as we force you to act a certain way!"

Aside from that...10/10 best game. As a psych nut, I absolutely loved watching the characters decent into justification, confusion, and eventual break in psyche caused by dissonance. Looking at the actions as the choice of the character, absolutely flawless representation.

In the end we all die ,
I intend to deserve it

I haven't played this. Should I?

Welcome to the comments section.
Everyone here has PTSD. God, the screams never ******* stop.

Meh, this stuff have been done million of times before. Medal Of Honor and Metal Gear for example.
