What setting and tone? The only thing you know is that it's a spy game theme and it's something about an alpha protocol. This is like bitching about a game and saying it will be shit because it has elfs and dwarves.
And that you can bang all the chicks. And that if you don't, they turn on you later on. And that combat is craptastic, as evidenced in videos, and that AI even worse. And dialogue terribly mediocre and embarrassingly cheesy at moments.
For those following, plenty of information has been given out in interviews and videos already, to get a general impression. At least one that Obsidian has been willing to give so far.
One moment, the game is Bauer-meets-Bourne kind of SIRIUS B-ZINSS with terrible B-movie lines. Next, it's a very shitty light-hearted light-humour rip off of the worst and the most cheesy James Bond moments. Then it's an action game so shitty and arcady (NOT arcady therefore shitty), neither of Bond/Bauer/Bourne references are applicable.
One interview, it's a grim espionage action game with lots of choices. Another video, it's the most infantile shit you've yet to see.
I don't have anything against Obsidian. I was pretty fascinated about an Aliens RPG and one by Obsidian, even without any solid information on the game, and I'm disappointed that it got cancelled/postponed. Before they started advertising AP, I was also interested in it. The setting -modern day action espionage with references to Bond/Bauer/Bourne- was somewhat intriguing. That was "before". So far, AP looks to me like it's going to be the most mediocre and insignificant Obsidian game to date.
I don't see this as being such a bad track record.
And I didn't say bad, but a fucked up, inconsistent track record.
That's funny because we only have one movie with one character dialog, which looks nothing special but it doesn't look bad either. Yet we already know how all AP characters are going to be.
I meant in real life. I've thought the implication would be obvious but apparently not.
How about go fuck yourself skyway?
How about you go suck a fuck? R00FLES!
