Alpha Protocol dialogue video

[Darth Roxor]

Funny to hear that from a guy who doesn't like anything.

Maybe I'm too old for a next-gen world where classics are considered 'next-gen' and bitching about everything, anytime, anywhere is a sign of good taste.

*sigh* Come on. This is getting old. You can do better than that.

NOLF2 is considered classics now? :shock:

 

[Darth Roxor]

NOLF2 is considered classics now? :shock:

Uh, yes? Somehow you don't have trouble calling Deus Ex a classic while it's only two years older. Same as the people calling Arcanum and Wiz8 classics, while they are a year older than nolf2. Plus, it's a classic of the fps/rpg hybrid genre just like System Shock 2 and DX.



Also, why the fuck am I responding to you again?

 

[Major_Boobage]

Yes Skyway has no taste, everybody knows that. But NOFL2 is NOT a classic, come on Darth Roxor..

 

[Turok]

It´s look nice but not spectacular, not sure if i am too old for this but i will keep waiting for the next post of the chultru game, i found more nice those games that the actual ones.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It's definitely not 'next-gen' either. But I suppose that's the division in the next-gen Skywayland - either something is a classic (nothing) or next-gen (which means it sucks - everything).

We love you, man. You are everywhere.

 

[Darth Roxor]

This even kind of resembles a dump

 

[King Crispy]

Darn, I fail. That first one was the coolest.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Once again skyway proves that his opinions suck and should not be considered. They are like next gen shit with too much bloom and shit.

 

[Solivagant]

I was expecting a "headbutt" option to appear when Thorton's talking to the chick on the PDA-looking thing.

 

[denizsi]

As far middle-east and RPGs go, an RPG similar to the tone and pacing of the movie Syriana with some influence from the movie Rendition, would have been perfect.

On NOLF2: I rarely played it the run&gun style, so maybe it would be pretty boring experience playing it like that all that way. I don't know. But playing it sneaking-oriented was a pretty memorable experience, beside some of the levels and scripted scenes that were also memorable in itself. NOLF2 didn't have the same quality of humour as NOLF, though. Still, I'd call it a classic.

Actually, hating on everything made past the year 2001 or so does seem to be the "cool" thing to do these days, so I guess Skyway's opinions ARE pretty next-gen. Hardcore, man. Hardcore.

Sub-question: When does "next-gen" become "this-gen"? Stupid fucking senseless buzzwords.

 

[Wyrmlord]

I enjoyed playing No One Lives Forever 2 when I was 11, but god damn, that game had a few problems.

Do you guys even realize the respawn in that game was absolutely nonsensical? Respawn as in right in front of your eyes? One alarm goes off, and they are going to come in endlessly, until you hide in some toilet or whatsoever, and then go over it again.

Also, the game was praised for AI, but the AI was a little stilted and probably at the level of Deus Ex. Now I wouldn't say Deus Ex has good or bad AI, but it's more of the level design rather than the AI that makes the game so intelligent. NOLF2, IIRC, was just a set of linear set pieces.

People; just play NOLF2 again, and see if you enjoy it as much as you did seven years ago.

In the moron's eyes I suppose yes.
Because for the next-gen crowd it is hard to imagine that games can be crap and they can be omg disliked no matter their time. Preposterous!

so I guess Skyway's opinions ARE pretty next-gen. Hardcore, man. Hardcore.

So next-gen or hardcore? Those two terms can't be used to describe the same thing.
I also happen to hate absolutely all games as it appears, so don't forget about that when you baww about "past 2001".

As far middle-east and RPGs go, an RPG similar to the tone and pacing of the movie Syriana with some influence from the movie Rendition, would have been perfect.

Yes but this is Obsidian and a game "for 15 years olds". Do not expect something intellectual from a shooter with wall-hack and EXTREME main character.

 

[bat_boro]

Oh, look, skyway is bashing Obsidian and Alpha Protocol for the 1010101010101 time
What a surprise

Deus Ex had extremely shitty AI. Once you're spotted NPCs just run towards you blazing away. Once they are close they start to strafe which considering the awful animation looks fucking hilarious. That's why I always play the game stealthy. Combat is shit.

 

[JarlFrank]

Holy shit that's going to be like the most grumpy and pissed off party ever.

 

[kris]

I feel I might enjoy this game. But it is hard to tell since most been about combat and it is hard to know what conversation will really pertain. also I would like to know how big areas are and what options there are in every place. I really don't like tunnel vision in my games unless it is called Golden axe.

Alpha Protocol has every boring location of the over-used "modern world setting" that you can find in many other shooters:
Moscow - check
Middle-East - check
China - check
USA - check

My god - I can't wait when I will put my feet on the Iraq soil and fight terrorists for the 10000th time. Obsidian's setting is so refreshing.

Of the ones you mentioned only one is specified. While I don't doubt that all places may be city bound there is no limit to the great avenues you can find in such areas as USA, China and the middle-east. I can't remember I ever played any game were I ventured into Moscow either so that feels fresh too.
