I really liked what Spec-Ops tried to do with its story, it was pretty good

Im playing it through again with a different perspective.

Spoiler

Playing it with the mindset that Walker died at the beginning. And everything after is his own personal experience in hell.

Indeed. His videos are so incredibly well put together and well articulated. I wish people in the Halo community would follow his example as opposed to idiots like Act Man and BDobbinsFTW who legitimately have no idea what they are talking about and just throw fits.

Still stuck on the "run from the angry attack helicopter" part because it's janky and luck based as fuck and I refuse to drop the difficulty for more health.

So... I never got to finish the game.

This is one of those games that if it wasn't so damn buggy, it would be amazing. I was stuck on the same part for a while.

It's a shame because I really liked playing up until then, but that really just killed it for me.

It took me a few times to get past it. I just sprinted and didnt stop, period. Kept tapping sprint as soon as it depleted.

I honestly haven't been following him much ever since he went on that one spegfest that left a bad taste with me. I guess I'll try watching some of his stuff again.

I never noticed the reflection of Lugo.

I think the game worked too well for me as a narrative, which is why I'll likely never complete it. As mentioned in the video there is no moment where you feel like a hero, everything is very morally gray. You're not given an option to not use the WP. To me (I may be over-analyzing) the only "good" option is to not play at all. Maybe that's not what the devs wanted you to think, but that's what it came across to me.
