I thought game developers screwing things up was the norm ?

I'm more negatively driven about this though. I don't dislike Obsidian so I'm more interested in what they put out, and so far AP hasn't been a bad experience for me. Now companies I hate, say, Ubisoft well I'm committed to not buying anything of theirs, and easy too - nothing they've put out has really got me keen.

That was better than most review sites. Well ok, that's supposed to be a compliment, even with the low bar. So far I'm not understanding how this game is receiving such hate.

Alpha Protocol. Aside from my CPU/GPU temps getting insanely high (damn crappy AC), nothing to complain about relating to the game so far.

Why, exactly ? If this was in international waters as I'm seeing in reports, boarding a ship that hasn't assaulted you is akin to piracy and attempts to repel the boarders are justified.

Why, I read on the internet that it was the worstest game ever!

Very believable he's disgruntled. Usually means a lot of the stuff he says is twisted accordingly too. Shame no one can find out who he/she is, heh.

People are believing some random anonymous posting on the internet ?

You've not played it though. And the "evidince" is hard to sift through, as the review scores are all over the place, so it's dubious as to this game being the worst ever or total crap.

I remember why I only really read two or three review sites. Wasn't aware there was THAT much garbage out there

This quote was amusing, heh.

Range of scores seems to be widening.

More off topic. Savatage! Will try to read/translate/ask some German guy to summarize that EG review when I'm off work, but glad to see the score wasn't too low.

Man I'm glad I'm an engineer and sex is a foreign concept.

I'm waiting for the Eurogamer review as well. A bit apprehensive at the outcome of that though

Oh right yeah the Professor. Javed and Salamandra are pretty irrelevant towards the end, makes sense as the true "villian/misunderstood whacko" becomes apparent. Javed was crafty with Marlowe though, I can't believe I missed that the first time I played.

In addition to ones mentioned, I liked Javed and the Doctor from The Witcher.

The companions weren't that great. Too many of them with daddy issues.

War gamers are cooler though, they've got patience and appreciate complexity

So...he'd be just like male Shepard then ?

Oh dear, it's not cool, heh. Looks pretty accurate for the most part.

Civ 4 on a the world map, with 18 civs. Really bad idea looking back, played as Rome so I'm hemmed in on all sides, hah. I had heard AP was out June 1st ?

The Knoxx DLC for Borderlands is pretty funny at times, sticks with the overall goofiness of the game. Shank has some amusing lines, Knoxx's logs and the "Engorge" ads (when they turn up in the middle of a firefight), for example.

Was neat, for 50 seconds.

Disappointed that their losses aren't higher.
