The game is straightforward enough to begin with and someone managed to write a book about it? Lord, that must of been a nightmare to read through.

Straightforward isn't the word I would have used to describe Spec Ops, especially in a medium that tends to produce Bulletstorm more often than Mass Effect (which is still not a very fitting example of something truly complex).

I'm surprised how many people condemn the book not based on its methods or content but based only on the subject. Surely even simple or basic practices and rituals are worthy of cultural examination, so long as it's done well. There's nothing straightforward in the world of meaning-making after all.

Yeah I suppose I'm just being salty here. I finished the game the other night and it didn't really do it for me, but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't still be analyzed for deeper meanings.
