bugarup Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) This game needs a sequel. I'm fine with mini-games as long as controls are PC friendly.

SonicMage117 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 You mean mouse+keyboard friendly? Ohhh..

Keyrock Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 This game needs at least one more year of development time.That statement should also be applied to 90% of AAA games released in the last 5 years.

Lexx Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Don't know, I only play few AAA games. But for Alpha Protocol it's a fact. The game needs overhauled minigames, it needs better animations, movement / controls, another balance pass and I guess a boatload of fixes. Really, graphics is one of the lesser important issues.

Keyrock Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS5PR5locpUThat looks like my jam. As an aside, I would kill for a Firefly-esque sci-fi adventure game where it's more about stealth, deception, and resourcefulness to complete your various quests as you try to eek out a living in a decidely not military vessel and combat is always a last resort despite having a couple ex soldiers and a girl who is secretly a super assassin and may or may not be a psycopath on your team.

Lexx Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yeah, looks pretty nice, but the strong focus on minigames in the trailer was a bit off putting for me.

Keyrock Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Apropos Alpha Protocol, it's my favorite game Obsidian has ever made. Sure, the game was a buggy mess at launch (par for the course for Obs ) and it had plenty of faults that critics rightfully lambasted the game for in reviews, but the good far outweighs the bad IMHO. What AP did well it did BRILLIANTLY; arguably the best dialogue system and choice and consequence in any game at that time and since.

Lexx Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 the game was a buggy mess at launch (par for the course for Obs ) Did they really fixed bugs? I don't remember if anything happened at all after release. Loved the game, replayed it at least 7 times after release. It was great how you could do a "veteran run" in which you are able to do things you usually can't do (rescue both people instead of only one, etc). I was so pissed about the american reviews that trashed the game so hard. Really, europeans loved it, americans hated it. Oh god, and I wanted to flip tables when one year later, reviewers who completely trashed the game at release suddenly said "wait, actually this game isn't so bad at all!" These people are the fault for why we can't have anything good anymore, and then this... Seriously, gaming journalism died for me in this very moment. Haven't read a single game review ever since. 2 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marelooke Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Why would this be the end of EVE? Because they are being acquired by a Korean MMO maker? Reason enough for me to be pessimistic. Then there's that acquisitions almost always mess with company identity as management moves around and social dynamics within the company shift as a result. And with them, more often than not, the actual focus of the company. Edited September 6, 2018 by marelooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marelooke Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I've heard good things about Black Desert Online though. I didn't dig the style, but maybe they'll do right by EVE. It's an Asian grindfest with absurd cash shop prices, good graphics, absolutely no character customization to speak of unless you pony up real cash. And apparently they've recently added pay-to-win elements. So really, the usual, as far as Asian MMOs are concerned. It had some "innovative" systems with trading and trade routes and the way the market worked etc (nothing EVE didn't already have though, hence the air quotes). And a supposedly innovative combat system (I failed to see what made that part innovative, but hey, that's probably just me). But after having tried it I can't understand why a Western audience would like it, consequently I didn't get very far in so the lack of anything to do as far as PvE endgame is concerned never even started to be an issue for me. Then again the majority of the Western MMO market consists of shallow World of Warcraft clones. Occasionally one picks up a feature WoW cut because WoW itself really started out as a stripped down EverQuest clone aimed at a more casual audience. So anything that tries something different and a tad more complex than Western MMO builders dare to include (like the trading in BDO) tends to stand out, and features that EverQuest 2 had like a decade ago are hailed as innovative (housing in Wildstar, too bad the rest of that game was "meh") because no Western MMO has the guts to tackle that complexity.
