HLTB SPEC OPS THE LINE SERIES
The only game in the series I’ve tried personally was Battlefield: Bad Company 2. One of the franchises that thrived within this time was EA DICE’s Battlefield series. That period after the success of the original Modern Warfare up until Spec Ops: The Line dismantled the genre was a golden age for the modern military shooter. By the time I started to review games myself several years later, I was presented with the option of attempting to complete Final Fantasy III again, but I decided it wasn’t worth the trouble when I already knew that it hadn’t aged well.īonus points if you can identify this game without scrolling down or looking at this image’s name. Even better, the endgame can take an hour or more per attempt and involves watching a long, drawn-out cutscene. This means that to stand a chance, one has to grind several levels, bringing the otherwise reasonable pacing of the game to a halt. For the endgame, however, it was clear that Square Enix hadn’t bothered to do anything to polish the dated gameplay, refusing to add any save points while nerfing the two best jobs in the original version. In my defense, the endgame is quite a spike in difficulty for a game that was actually fairly good at gradually increasing the difficulty curve. I did make it all the way to the endgame of the DS version, but I never got to see the credits roll. I have to admit that even though I strive to finish games before reviewing them, I did not complete Final Fantasy III. Nonetheless, I think we’ve all run into a game at some point in our lives that, for whatever reason, we could not bring ourselves to finish. However, at the end of the day, reviewing a game before making it to the halfway point – especially when the story is at all important – would be like if a film critic left the theater thirty minutes in and wrote a review based off of what they saw. It takes much more time and effort to complete the average game than it does to watch even the longest (non-experimental) films all the way through. Indeed, one of the biggest problems with criticism in this medium is that I could tell in many instances that the writers did not finish the games before reviewing them. Wapojif for making the comment that inspired this question.Īs a gaming critic, I make an effort to finish the games I review.
