WILL THE ALMIGHTY

Except shotguns. No need to aim with shotguns. <3

I hardly got any bugs. Just annoying gameplay/level design.

He also forgot to mention it was boring and weightless (as in, everything seemed minor).

Gotta be honest, I don't think Obsidian should bother making a sequel to this game. It had enough closure and really wasn't all that great.

Quick question, has anyone used the SMGs? Because the guns look godawful and the critical system on them looks useless. Shotguns are pretty great though.

This actually works quite well, but Mike feels really slow now... What does it do? Magically add in more animation blending? All I want is to be able to tweak some particle effects and maybe switch some models around. Can't be too hard.

Because they agreed to help off screen. Mike even says it when the mission begins. No problem BTW. Huh, so does that mean if you piss off Albatross he won't ever get captured? That's pretty cool.

Spoiler #1: Spoiler #2: Ah, thanks, that clears up a few things at least. Although I wonder why G22 was attacking Brayko's villa anyway.

So does this mean a game called Dungeon Siege 3, perhaps the most generic and ridiculous name for a game ever created, will have a smart and well written plot? Because that would be awkward.

@Oner, sorry, I meant Marburg, not Albatross. Albatross is awesome. EDIT: So overall... this was not a very good game. The C&C is great but it's wasted on an awful plot, and the gameplay is just terrible. Everything lacked focus.

Discount on sneaky armor and intel, sends help for 2 missions + possible endgame handler.

Finished my first playthrough on Hard as a stealth/pistol/sabotage agent. It went... well? I died constantly under fire after two or three shots, but pistol critical strikes from cover and chain shot make it much easier.

Finished Alpha Protocol. ... eh, the game feels like it lacked a clear purpose. No matter how good the writing was, it didn't really feel like there was a point to the story. Not to mention having the option to choose which mission to try first sortof screws up the story. And the whole WW3 thing? Didn't really make sense. In fact, I'm utterly confused at some parts of the story and how getting some of my enemies to "trust" or "friendship" helped me in any way. How does having a good reputation with Albatross have any advantages? Now to start the game again as Douchebag Thorton.

I can't access it at all for some reason.

At least it's animated. ...Sometimes. PS: I think there's PhysX integrated somewhere in this game? I can't tell, there's nothing bouncing around at all apart from grenades, and even then they're not much fancier than the ones in Deus Ex.

I must have been playing a different game. In mine they weren't trying to cause world war 3, they were trying to boost there sales in a way that was accidentally going to create ww3. :/ That's what I meant. I need to find a way to replace the awful grenade explosion model. I don't mind most of the graphics in the game, but weak explosions just irritate me. It's not a model. Actually it probably is

Deus Ex's art direction wasn't exactly one of it's strong suits, possibly because of the Unreal Engine, but still. It looks like a cyberpunk game with crazy baroque influences, so at least it has a distinct style. I think Chinatown alone proves it had pretty poor art direction.

Wait what, Dungeon Siege 3? Seriously? Wait, Square Enix?

Maybe European reviewers just like more niche games?

There are a few glitches that fortunately have very easy fixes available, like missing dialogue and mouse problems. Otherwise, it works very well. You'll actually get headshots here.

Finally bought Alpha Protocol. Dialogue and characters are amazing in every way, and once you put some points into Pistols and Stealth, the combat even manages to become fun. Chain Shot is so overpowered. The story however... Mike seemed to get on the conspiracy bandwagon a little too fast, and the whole "new World War" plot doesn't really make sense. It's good, but I'm not here for a plot twist.

You really didn't have to quote the whole thing, you know.

It looks smart. It probably won't be a thing like the original, though.

The ironic part is that the AI can really be *that* stupid.
