I very much hope it's not yet another D&D game.

European players are more likely to be influenced by sites and magazines in their own language than by major American gaming media, though. Anyway, the American/European divide reminds me somewhat of the reception of The Witcher. Most of The Witcher's sales were also in Europe, and it didn't sell very well in the US. Still, it sold overall more than 1 million copies, which is pretty damn good for a PC-only game. Same with other European RPGs, like Risen, which also has a similar difference on Metacritic between PC and 360 version.

Yup, Metacritic has a very American bias. Most European reviews, especially non-English ones, which Metacritic rarely covers, have been far more positive. I expect the sales to be more similar to ones of European RPGs, like The Witcher, than to American AAA titles, but I doubt it will be an actual flop. And citing the 30k figure as indicative of anything is silly, considering what the figure actually represents (console sales only in a largely PC-centric market in just 2 days).

65% on Metacritic for 360. It's 75% for the PC.

He doesn't give a random name, he gives the name of Wen Shu, the guy he wanted to use the dry cleaner on.

Actually, no, it's not "obvious" that it's a hoax. For me, it sounds pretty damn likely to be a real dev, given that several Alpha Protocol devs were indeed fired and have an axe to grind, and that much of the design that they created for Alpha Protocol was scrapped. Now, whether the person in question is right in their assessment of Alpha Protocol and its development history, is an entirely different matter.

Did you know you can get a Heck ending?

There is a basic value also in Fallout 3, based on which the actual prices are calculated, depending on your skill.

Funny that so many people are praising Fallout 3 graphics and complaining about Alpha Protocol ones, considering for example how much better character faces look in AP. They should at least have custom-made faces for major characters instead of making all of them in facegen.

Too bad he doesn't wear the "I'm a Frito Bandito" t-shirt in-game.

I didn't trust her, but I did save her.

Heck has crackpot e-mails, actually.

Well, I'm counting on others to contribute all possible info to the wiki, given that there's lots of things that change depending on how you play the game.

I executed Sis because she didn't talk when I told her to talk or else. Didn't know she was mute!

I set up a basic mission layout (going to add infobox too): http://alphaprotocol.wikia.com/wiki/Bug_Al-Samad_Airfield Any comments, e.g. what else should a mission page have?

Yes, you need to replace one of the existing gadgets with the EMP grenades.

VATS is not turn-based. Not anymore than e.g. Chain Shot skill in AP.

How so? New Vegas is also real-time, just like FO3.

What about mouse and keyboard, though?

Yeah, if there is a way, I'd sure like to know too.

Er, by the time you posted it, the tech forum was already there.

Unfortunately, it does sound true to an extent (as in, at least the guy being a disgruntled ex-employee sounds consistent with what I know).

Sounds pretty believable to me (at least the fact that it's a disgruntled ex-employee sounds believable).

There hopefully will be one soon.

Given that there's no tech forum yet, I think it would be a good idea to fill out the bug section at the Alpha Protocol Wiki: http://alphaprotocol.wikia.com/wiki/Alpha_Protocol_bugs Please list the confirmed bugs (preferrably only repeateable ones, and not one-time glitches). Hopefully the devs will also visit the page.
