Adams and Lugo says that there's someone watching you, probably, before you reach the signal. While you can see the three guys beneath the sand bus playing dead, do you ever see anyone in the distance or out of the corner of your eyes or anything in the lead-up to that?

It's CJacobs. Adams and Lugo unwittingly broke the 4th wall!!! :tinfoil:

To be fair, when a game that's a deliberate homage to Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness has a major character called "Konrad" I dunno if subtlety's the word.

i always saw Spec Ops The Line as a re-imagining rather than a homage, but it doesn't really matter.

If you're having trouble finding a place to stick all the loading screens, send them to me and I'll add them to the Chrono Trigger LP.

Also, make it so all the little people on his arms are the people he's killed in Dubai.

It's fun comparing this squad leader with that of a certain other concurrent LP.

Scene: Alpha Squad has just finished eliminating a heavily fortified Helghast position, using their own weaponry against them. The weapon in question: Blue Phosphorus, a derivative of White Phosphorus that utilizes Petrusite as a key component, adding electrical burns to the chemical burns. They are walking through the "killzone" and discover that they've also killed a number of Helghast civilians.

Sevchenko: This is your fault, goddamnit!

Natko: Sev, hold up, man!

Sevchenko: But it is! He wouldn't listen!

Natko: We didn't have a choice.

Sevchenko: He turned us into loving killers!

Natko: You gotta stop, man.

Sevcheko: No! NO!!

Natko: Get a hold of yourself!

Velasquez: Shut the gently caress up! We need to keep moving.

Sevchenko: What?!

Velasquez: Hig reinforcements will be here any second. We need to keep moving.

Natko: But Rico--you're not, you're not even--

Velasquez: Bastards here deserved to die. Shouldn't've been born a Hig. Come on, let's get back up to that mortar. By the time reinforcements arrive, we'll be able to rain down Blue Phosphorus on them all over again. Be doin' them a loving service puttin'em out of their misery. Now are you with me or not?

Sevchenko: :stare:

Natko: :stare:

Yeah, for a shooty-man, this game is less about tactical realism and more about story-telling.

Weapon sure (though WP itself is just a chemical and is used in the manufacture of such lethal concoctions as toothpaste), but it's not a chemical weapon unless you use it in a very specific way that isn't the way it's normally used.

Ooooh, okay, I hear what you're sayin'.

Not really. He's way loving over selling it. (No offense, CJ.) It's hard to really get into the game's psychological space when the voiceover is piping in with, "Ohhh, I'm so not examining the reasons for any of this! Until right now, and suddenly I'm super upset!"



Some people like the LP gimmick, some people don't like the LP gimmick.

Either is cool.

My only beef with the screaming is it sounded like he blew his mic out at the end there; definitely go for it but just be careful or edit the levels in post for the sake of us who listen to everything with headphones. :shobon:

but blowing out headphones is a tradition in many LPs that CJacobs is involved in.

You know, this is the LP/thread that just keeps on giving. First, a solid LP of Spec Ops: The Line, then a whole bunch of thread arguing that was actually pretty sophisticated and intelligent and to add even more some good streams.

It's a shame that the LP archive doesn't archive thread replies.

I got around that by quoting a tonne of informative quotes in the Killzone LP. It's up to CJacobs to decide if he wants to gather together a thread-chat-quote-post for archival.
