you recall the ending of the game? You drive away on a boat from the hidden area that the alpha protocol hq is at.

It said action espionage rpg on the cover of the game;You can't really gear a game towards a more specific audience than that. The problem with the reviews was that the reviewers went into the game expecting a shooter rpg, like mass effect 2.

Hopefully sega will change their minds about it. Give me blind optimism at least.

Why, Fidel!?! Why!!! Epic win.

Damn those are some brutal scores. It's safe to say that Obsidian definately is not on the same page with modern gamers. For us oldskoolers that might not matter but for company that need to make profit in order to stay aloat, it's a terrible thing. Obsidian will suffer the same end result as Looking Glass and Troika did, if they don't ace with Fallout: New Vegas. There is no way that they can mess up fallout, just impossible because they already have the base formula and ideas.

you could mod games for the 360 too.

can i download this early off of steam??

why don't you just use a 360 controller if it bothers you people that much?

thanks, I just might pick it up, I've got enough money lying around.

I enjoyed the first mass effect alot despite its flaws, do you think I'd like this??

I'm thinking of waiting a couple weeks to a month until the price drops, but a lot of positive feedback from the people on these forums make me think otherwise, plus i feel like i need to kill some time now that i finished up my red dead redemption play through.

^^ It's in real time with some turn based gameplay (vats).

I had DA:O on the PC, and it, too, was buggy as hell. There you go, the Joystiq guy didn't say the same of DA:O on PC... just shows how good the PR ($) is working... Yes.... when all else fails, blame BioWare and accuse them of bribery. DA:O was buggy (and boring) but by western RPG standards it was fairly well polished. The console versions were hammered fairly. AP is unpolished and buggy and I can see why it's getting a bad reception. The combat and AI is last gen, the visuals are bland and outdated, the story and writing and branching paths is as good as I expected but Thorton is a lame protagonist with some really poorly delivered lines, the plot twists are kinda predictable, hacking minigames every 3 minutes, the "stealth" in this Espionage RPG is a joke, the boss battles are absurd, very limited enemy variety, the game is short.. at first I thought this would be a disappointing mess, then when they started releasing more trailers and videos it looked like it might actually be great, and now I can say I agree with the scathing reviews.... this is easily Obsidian/BlackIsle's worst game. It just isn't very fun in the end and I feel so let down for actually changing my mind and preordering awhile ago. This game doesn't change my mind about New Vegas though, I'm sure that will be great. But yeah....AP is very, VERY disappointing. Just an opinion. Exactly, I don't understand why people here are making excuses for this game being recieved poorly. This game sounds awesome on paper, but in motion it easily looks like obs worst game. There's a good rpg in the mix of this mess, but I might wait for a price drop. People are making excuses because this is the game they've had to wait for through countless delays and can't seem to grasp the idea that it didn't come out too well.

I'm going to wait a month or two until the game drops in price, because I don't want to drop $60 on a game that could be great but it could be terrible.

Prototype got a 7.5 and that game was challenging, but fun as all hell, even if it had those terrible graphics and punishing checkpoints. @moldycheese: What are you still doing here if you no longer want to buy the game?

^^ Wth is rogue warrior?

you win

that gamespot review touched on alot of valid point. They gave it a score of solid 6 but the way they talked about it was a 7-7.5

Hopefully we'll get a little love from the IGN uk review.

really starting to seem like a love hate sort of thing.

They did it so you could aim, while you AIM!!

I really no longer give two ****s about what the reviewers say, I'm either going to buy or rent this game, because it seems like a game I'd like.

Page 2: Negative: Artificial Intelligence: Especially in a role playing game, the slow and heavily relies on shootings, one should hope for a good artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, Alpha Protocol not score points here. Time and again you run enemies directly in front of the gun or hang a corner of the game world securely. Go to the right place to take cover, you can even rows of opponents as they do a point to stop and certain to leave to shoot without hesitation. Mini Games : Castles In order to crack to hack or bypass terminals to three mini-games you need a master of the later course of the game will be in serious. Soon these small nerves deposits. This is mainly due to the lack of implementation of console to PC. Use the example on the console or the trigger to each cylinder of a lock to balance, move your mouse on the PC up and down. Because these mini-games often need to come on at some points of frustration when, for the thousandth time by an unsuccessful attempt by the alarm goes off. Fortunately, you can plug in a gamepad option but to play with it too. Obsolete Technology: Graphic Alpha Protocol is not on the amount of time. Textures, especially on floors or on walls, and see detailarm washed out. Characters and objects are also the present day for extremely angular. In cutscenes, however the faces of the characters come across well. The blurring effect of the obsidian used to feature flashbacks to look strange. The animations of the main character, especially in stealth effect, silly. jumping, climbing, camouflage, store: A few small points to annoy Alpha Protocol. You may at certain points only climb or jump, which in times of Splinter Cell: Conviction and Assassin's Creed has plenty of antiquated second Who wants more action in Covert, who is annoyed that there is no display screen, which tells you whether you are just disguised. For PC disciples is also annoying that you can not save free but on by the program set relatively fair, save points are dependent. Short for Alpha Protocol: - Alpha Protocol relies on the DRM protection Uniloc. You must enable deas game once online and then you can play offline. This goes on up to five different computers. The individual activations can be undone. - Alpha Protocol is a purely single-player role-playing, there's no multiplayer mode. - Hardware requirements: Minimum : P4 3.4 GHz / Athlon 64 3200 +, Geforce 7900 GT / Radeon X1950 Pro, a GB RAM (Win XP) / 2 GB RAM (Windows Vista or 7) Recommended : CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400/Phenom II X3 720 BE, Geforce GTX 260/Radeon HD 4870 (1 GB), 2 GB RAM (Win XP) / 4 GB RAM (Windows Vista or 7) A detailed, six-sided test for Alpha Protocol, see the current PC Games 06/2010 . Alpha Protocol will appear tomorrow and costs in the PC version for about 45

The german review translated: Our test for Alpha Protocol has shown that the RPG from Sega and Obsidian Entertainment a wild roller coaster ride in the style of 24 or The Bourne Identity. The game you skin your decisions, especially later in the game, relentlessly around the ears. The Gameply is incredibly diverse and is changing so rapidly that a second or third play through complete risk assessment. The dialogue and characters are also imaginative and entertaining. Technically, you have to do with Alpha Protocol, however, compromises. The graphics are sharp and partly out of date, the save point system is a nuisance and the artificial intelligence has not earned its name many times. Which are in themselves permanently annoying mini-games on the PC also the main frustration point where they are clearly designed to operate with the gamepad. Nevertheless, Alpha Protocol is a thoroughly enjoyable RPG with amazing choice and varied gameplay. Positive: Story, characters and atmosphere: If Jack Bauer and James Bond is to be with Michael Thorton directly warm. The story presents itself as a genuine agent thrillers and waiting always surprises with. You never know who you can trust and just rush through half the world to plot on the ropes to get a large. The characters you meet are in sometimes bizarre but always credible and enrich the gameplay noticeably. With well-written dialogues and cutscenes in the game graphics Alpha Protocol also holds the suspense high and constant entertainment tastes with thus very well. Since it does not interfere, that the total of 130 hours as an English voice only available with German subtitles dialog. Decisions and freedom: Alpha Protocol will be in almost all missions to choose how you want to proceed. You can sneak or shoot yap, technical finesse, or act with brutal thugs give. Sun mission, each unique and varied. Same time, each agency bermekbar at what impact your decisions crass again ever have. The nice lady or save a museum full of tourists? The arms dealer shot or pardon? The guards by moving or persuade? Always keep your Alpha Protocol decisions as a mirror in front of your 'mission changed the course of the game and depending on what choice you have made. This motivates and contributes significantly to the fascination of the title. So it pays to just under 30 hours after the passage of the first game again to start over. Character Development: Even as a true RPG Alpha Protocol is reflected well. For each successful action, you get experience points, which lead to level up. More points in a particular skill will affect appreciably. If you are inexperienced in dealing with assault rifles, you will meet very little. Invest enough points but, Thorton shoots noticeably better. The same applies to melee - or technical skills. So you always have the feeling that your agent to continuously develop. At the same time gives you Alpha Protocol always small successes in the form of so-called benefits. Example 75 who overwhelmed the enemy unseen, moves in a row, 20 percent quieter. Since messages such benefits by the minute at the bottom of the screen show up on, to motivate them particularly well to cope with a mission. Items and Outside Employment : Alpha Protocol gives your hero a lot of armor, weapons and gadgets. These can be found either in the missions or buy between use of a dealer. For armor and weapons you also buy upgrades in several stages. The pros and cons of a purchase are neatly into a menu with the newly created piece of equipment weighed fine. Especially the variety of items from Alpha Protocol makes a much deeper role than, say, Mass Effect 2, even though both rely heavily on action title. In addition, make clear the nature of the game Aur
