Yet Another Alpha Protocol Thread

[CrimHead]

yes.

in future this game will become a blueprint of c&c done right and despite its weaker beginning and some gameplay shortcomings the game ends up being a remarkable achievement in computer entertainment, offering unique blend in the field of story and character driven action/rp/adventure games, charming Obsidian dilettantism in some features included .

would be a pity if Obsidian would stop here because this particular blend has a lot of potential.

LOLWUT

OH SNAP

This. If you like C&C and good writing, this is a game you should buy. As for the game play, I've had a lot of fun with it. Maybe my standards are lower than the elite crew of skyway and racofer, but I've found a lot of their (and the reviewers) complaints to be very exaggerated.

 

[Felix]

I decided to go gun blazing all the way. Load of fun with shotgun and SMG so far, the feeling of knocking someone off their ass and unload a storm of bullets once my skills are high enough is incredible satisfying.

 

[Dny]

Simple question: Is it worth buying?

It's not even worth the bandwidth you'd steal from other people on your ISP to download that crap. It's that shitty. So, neither buy nor download it.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

worth buying: yes

worth creating 15 fucking threads a day: godnomakeitstop!

don't be a fucking idiot.

 

[Konjad]

After playing it a little longer I'd say: NO. Spend your money on better game. Why? My opinion is on page 8 and 16 in this thread.

 

[Konjad]

BTW I like how we're helping SMA to decide:

Yes 50% [ 17 ]
No 50% [ 17 ]

:D

 

[Sceptic]

Especially Obsidian and Bethesda:

modern "RPG"s:

Failout 3 - a shooter
Mass Effect - a shooter
Aliens "RPG" - was a shooter
AP - a shooter
Failout 3: New Vegas - a shooter
DA - mediocre RPG.

The IQ of new members seems to be digging a huge hole now, while the ignorance is sky high

Skyway strikes once again. Good job picking Alien RPG and New Vegas, the two Obsidian games NOT released, as an example of what Obsidian have released. MotB and SOZ? Sorry, don't exist.

And I'd love to see you argue that MotB and SOZ aren't RPGs.

 

[Micmu]

To be honest, he's less "ignorant" than morons keep stuffing AP under RPG.
A mission-based stealth/action game.

OMG IT HAZ INVENTOTY RPG!11

 

[Konjad]

Who cares if it's RPG or stealth/action. It's just shit.

This. I don't see why people have problem with Skyway with all the AP-apologists running around.

Fanboi bias. Had AP been a Bioware stamped game they would be the first to call to arms against the new shit. But it's Obsidian and some here feel special love for the "underdog", double plus good considering the Christ of PST fame worked on it. They don't like the game because it's good (it's clearly not) they *want* to like it because it has been made by Obsidian.
Kinda like how lots of people around here praise ToEE and Bloodlines. Blind love dedicated to Troika after they had made one of the greatest RPG aka Arcanum.
ToEE may have had the best D&D combat implementation in a cRPG but holy shit how boring of a setting, story, non-existent characters crap it was not to say that for a game that is combat-centered how crappy the level design and encounters were. And it still get lots of love. Because it's Troika. No one would have tolerated that amount of fail had ToEE been developed by Bioware. Hell had Bioware released a game with as many bugs as Bloodlines, some of them game breaking THE SHIT WOULD HAVE HIT THE FAN HARD.

Simple question: Is it worth buying?

Simple answer: Yes.

 

[hoochimama]

I didn't find AP to be worth the money , heck, didn't find it to be worth the time spent trying to see if I could get some enjoyment out of it.

If you can only get one new game then Red Dead Redemption is probably a safer bet.

Bullshit. While ME1 got almost universally panned on the Codex, ME2 was received much more favourably. DA got mixed reviews, with many people starting out enthusiastically and becoming more and more disillusioned as the time passed, myself included. Only a relatively small group of posters bashed these games stalwartly. This group also happens to be one of the most vocal ones and often claims some sort of an "old codex superiority" in opposition to the idiocy of the so-called new posters.
You make an interesting misattribution by saying that that there would be a crusade against the 'new shit'. Please note that "new-shit crusaders" that are very vocal whenever a Bio game is out are now on a crusade against AP, this time enriching their vocabulary with the word "popamole".

Codex is not a hivemind. The "Codex Hivemind" is a meme. Really.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

A highly infectious meme.

 

[SuicideBunny]

the codex is kinda like the master, 'cept every voice says something different and they all senselessly bitch at each other.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Voices in my head hear voices in their heads.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The codex is like a classroom. A different clique on each corner, beating and mocking each other senselessly, but all groan in unison whenever the teachers tell them they'll try something new.

 

[Melcar]

Is the teacher hot?
