ratings are overrated, most movies or anime are more mature in content and/or story than what 'M' stands for in Dragon Age 2 but I do hope you were only sarcastic, Bioware is on the downward spiral I wish the actual "mature" games would finally grow up enough to really be worthy of the 'M', it is better if a game doesn't try to sell itself as something it isn't to begin with

no it doesn't, and a good find btw

for me "dungeon crawler" is a spider or a rat, would call a beholder that too .... if it would have something to crawl with and I don't call Diablo an RPG even as I liked it, although I do call Oblivion one, but a very terrible one at the same time EDIT: Tale, sig, Darkwing Duck?

Where is the big patch?!?
Jorian Drake replied to StageLXdk's topic in Alpha Protocol: General Discussion
VERSION 1.1 ----------- - To resolve activation issues, PC copy protection has been removed. that made three friends of mine happy campers (not me, never had that problem myself) -
if you call Dungeon Keeper an RPG next, I will punch you in your face (no matter how much fun that game was)

just in case you didn't see it yet, makes me wish we could actually have dance parties in the game

What!? You know the premise but, still don't know the terrible terrible story.He has a point if you ask me. I thought he meant the killing off of the King -

AP has sold 700k units?
Jorian Drake replied to funcroc's topic in Alpha Protocol: General Discussion
I agree, many people were scared away by the terrible reviews, and I know personally quite a few people who just recently started to play it or finished it, and enjoy it a lot. Sales will go up with time. -
DA? Story? Ahahahahahaha, funny joke. In my opinion PST wasn't good anyway, I was unable to play through it as I disliked the main character to begin with

I chuckled when I saw that. Dude writes on a gaming site about video games, and he's trying to make himself out to be "cool" because he doesn't know the difference between ogres, orcs, or goblins? Who's he fooling? If anything, it just proves he's dumb nerd. fixed

Ok, thanks for the details...I didn't realize you had to be logged into bnet the whole time. That would make it kinda like Steam I guess, except with no single-player offline mode or whatever. It does sound like a pain in the arse. I saw one bnet forum thread where some ppl were having a lot of trouble getting it to work, too (the single-player login part), some kind of tech issue perhaps. *frown* D3 I wasn't originally worried about in this area since the Diablo's are one of the few where I do like playing MP-server most of the time (even if I'm playing solo), but...yeah, understand the objections. Acti-Blizzard hasn't been pleasing me of late. DRM doesn't work anyway, I am sure SC2 was already pirated on the day of its release, the only people who get hurt by it are those who actually buy games

hehe, glad I read this before I responded to the above EDIT: @V - I think we should just acknowledge that you aren't part of the target audience. This is a story-driven RPG for people that like story-driven RPGs. You didn't like the mechanics. That's fine. To each their own - really. But if you want to lambaste the game based on the story, it would really help your case to be able to say that you actually finished it. I just can't imagine why someone liking ME would dislike AP EDIT: i wanted to merge the posts, hey, where did the delete button disappear to? -

reading these replies, I wonder what you people still do on the Obsidian forums -
I just thought you may be interested in some reviews made by actual players and not websites which got most likely paid to pull the title through dirt by giving it terrible scores (I heard that many reviews were that awful because they were bribed), the place where I buy most of my games allows customers to write their own reviews, and all of them are pretty good for AP, so devs, cheer up a bit!

C&VG: Sega rules out Alpha Protocol sequel
Jorian Drake replied to funcroc's topic in Alpha Protocol: General Discussion
Except AP wasn't that buggy. It certainly was LucasArt's fault that an unfinished KotOR2 was released. Voluorn, the similarity in the dialogue systems are superficial. The conversations play out very differently in each game - you don't navigate through dialogue in AP in the way you do in ME - AP's dialogue is much more directed, there's no central "options" section you can revisit later from which you can decide which branch of dialogue to proceed with, and there are no dead-end branches. The skill system is similar, as is the combat, but the combat had already been done in numerous other games (minus the dice rolls) and the skill system isn't all that original either. The way in which the narrative flows is completely different in the two games, minus the hub structure (which isn't even implemented in a similar manner). I played 3 times through AP on my PC, only a single time it crashed and there were no other issues with it. I can't speak of consoles ofc, as I wouldn't even poke them with a stick. the fact however stays that most of the time the publisher is at fault if something gets rushed and is released with buggy, but not always (Paradox games as example)
