Ok.. so I've been pretty stoked for Alpha Protocol and have had minor heart attacks each time they delayed the game, because this game, by the great Obsidian, maker of Mask of the Betrayer (mmm <3) simply cannot go wrong.
I was wrong.
I should never have wasted those 50 doolars ($) on pre-ordering this game, this game in 'alpha' stage. It is so mind numbingly aggravating I cannot express it ;_;
I'll just copy my Gamespot comment.
"I was dumb enough to pre-order it. The game is marred by so many annoyances, big and small. (these are some of them) Horrible shooting mechanic, bugs (enemies disappearing in one part of the map after loading another), HORRENDOUS AI, frustrating cover mechanic and the saving/loading part isn't exactly praiseworthy either.
The graphics are not 'Crysis' but they do the job.
What it does have is an entertaining/engaging story, great characters, progression and dialogue. I've recently bought a retro 2D isometric style RPG from 2007 called 'Eschalon' which I would rather play than this.
Either Obsidian needs a new publisher, a swap of some of the employees or stick with pen and paper games. Maybe go bankrupt so there are no more disappointments. No wonder there aren't any major pre-reviews."
THE **** WENT WRONG OBSIDIAN?
Now, my question is... where the F do I go for a refund?
