15: Spec Ops the Line Completed

15: Spec Ops the Line Completed

"Orders ain't worth following if it means leaving people to die, Lugo." Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter video game developed by Yager Development and published by 2K Games. It is the eighth installment of the classic series. Spec Ops: The Line was released on June 26, 2012 in North America and on June 29, 2012 in Europe. The Line is the continuation of the Spec Ops series, although it does not share any story elements with its namesake. Instead, the game follows Captain Martin Walker as he is sent into a post-catastrophe Dubai with an elite Delta Force team on a reconnaissance mission, where they find dead American Soldiers. Upon the finding, Walker declares that the team's mission has changed, and that they will search Dubai for survivors.

While lead writer Walt Williams has stated that there are many influences, the premise is primarily inspired by Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness (along with Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam-set adaptation of the novella, Apocalypse Now), with Konrad replacing Kurtz. The game received generally positive reviews. Praise focused on the narrative and its themes, while criticism was focused at it's online multiplayer mode and the generic third person gameplay.

This week completed is Spec Ops The Line. Find out how it went down

14: Cyberpunk 2077 Act 1

This Show Contains SPOILERS I have found that people lie, most often deceiving themselves. Not so the dead. The dead are so very, very loud. And yet, lying is not in their nature. It is so... humbling, to listen to the dead speak Set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe, the player assumes the role of "V", a mercenary who must rescue the President of the New United States whose aircraft has crashed in the lawless district of Dogtown. It was released for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S in September 2023.

Welcome to Series 2 Episode 14 of Gamed Out. This week it is all about Cyberpunk 2077 and the first Act 1. Join us as we play through and dive into Nightcity as V.

"Sometimes, you just have to let go... and embrace what you've become." "The world has changed. The old rules no longer apply." "Treat people like animals long enough they'll start acting like animals.


Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a 2016 action role-playing game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in August 2016. Versions for Linux and macOS systems were released in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The game is the sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the fifth installment in the Deus Ex series. The gameplay combines first-person shooter, stealth and role-playing elements. It features exploration and combat in environments connected to the main hub of Prague and quests which grant experience and allow customization of the main character's abilities with Praxis Kits. Conversations between characters have a variety of responses, with options in conversations and at crucial story points affecting how events play out. Players can complete Breach, a cyberspace-set challenge mode, in addition to the main campaign. Breach was later released as a free, standalone product.

"I want the burn of smoke and nicotine in my lungs. But all I feel is the Sentinel Health System automatically counteracting the damage. Even self-destruction isn't fun anymore."


Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set in 2027, just as human augmentation begins to enter mainstream life. These mechanical augmentations act as replacements for natural body parts, and allow the wearer to gain enhanced abilities, such as super strength or super stamina.

Players take the role of Adam Jensen, a security consultant employed by Sarif Industries to protect a research lab in Detroit.

04: Early Impressions of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0

04: Early Impressions of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0

"We Shouldn’t Fear Change Itself, But Only Who We Might Change Into"


In Night City, a mercenary known as V navigates a dystopian society in which the line between humanity and technology becomes blurred.

In 2077, America is in pieces. Megacorps control life in all its aspects from the top floors of their sky-high fortresses. Down below, drug-pushing gangs, dirty-tech hustlers, and slingers of illicit braindances run the streets. The world in between is where decadence, sex, and pop culture mix with violent crime, extreme poverty, and the unattainable promise of the American Dream. In a world where you have no future, what matters is that you control who you are. To survive and protect your independence, you modify your body with advanced cyberware and take jobs others would never dare. You choose to live free, bound by no systems or controls-the only rules you obey are your own. Because you're a Cyberpunk. In Cyberpunk 2077 you play as V-a hired gun on the rise and you just got your first serious contract. In a world of cyberenhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners, and corporate lifehackers, today you take your first step towards becoming an urban legend.


Welcome to an early chat about Cyberpunk 2077 and it's 2.0 update. This show contains spoilers
