Psychonaught

I will be frank, the only reason I registered here is because I am pissed off. I have played a certain series of games that I have come to enjoy, and many a time I have said kudos to the developers. That series is splinter cell. I have played all of them, Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell:Pandora Tommorow, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and finally Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I also plan to play Splinter Cell:Conviction as soon as it comes out. To put it bluntly, "ALPHA PROTOCAL" is a TOTAL RIPOFF of Splinter cell. Right down to the door lockpicking "mini-game" to the non lethal stealth incapacitation animation. They claim this is the first "Modern stealth RPG", but to be honest there really is no RPG element. The only real choice is "Do I go in guns blazing or do I sneak in, using high tech gadgets and a silenced pistol?" This was the exact same choice made just as frequently in Splinter Cell. Which means this is just another modern espionage game, not an RPG and therefore NOT the first. Kudo's to you Obsidian, I enjoyed KOTOR, and KOTOR2. They were and still are excellent games, worthy of much recognition. But as far "Alpha Protocol" goes? Try something original, instead of ripping off a perfectly good series and taking the credit for it. D:<
