A break to play Spec Ops: The Line

Shit, I already wrote this post once and somehow I deleted it.

Anyway, to keep it short.  I wanted to play through the second ending on Dark Souls before the Prepare to Die edition released to consoles.  I’m not normally a completionist, but I like this game enough that it seems worth it to see everything that it has to offer.  But for the past views weeks a small fire has been building around Spec Ops: The Line.  Apparently the initial sales were terrible, and I don’t know if that’s improved since then, but the game seems to have a small but vocal following.  And so I decided that instead of waiting, like I usually do, I would take a break from Dark Souls and play it now to see if I felt the same way.  I want to know if there is something in this game that could give it longevity beyond the higher budget, and better reviewed media that so quickly came and went.
