Can Battlefield 4’s narrative be relevant after Spec Ops?

Probably not. In lieu of partying or whatever it is college kids are supposed to be doing, I decided that my number one priority this spring break would be to to replaySpec Ops: The Line. I joined theSpec Opsparty a bit late, but the narrative really struck me in a way that few videogame stories have, and I have been slightly obsessed with it ever since. So, with Brendan Keogh’s 50,000 word analysisKilling is Harmlessby my side, I went through it again....

Crytek made Ryse so you can just mash buttons if you want

In an interview withGame Reactor, design director PJ Estevez detailed how Crytek builtRysefor the unskilled player....

My only concern is that the missions might outstay their welcome — although that’s more a general fear of open-world game design than anything to do withFar Cry 4specifically....
