Gorth Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hey, it has a home now Not much to say yet. Still too many "Coming Soon" buttons, but at least we can add a link to it in our browser favourites (those who are so inclined). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Pop Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I'm wondering why they included a real place so prominently on the page. I thought maybe it could've been an ARG thing, but that seems a little too "big deal" for Obsidz, frankly. Edited October 10, 2008 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
mkreku Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 "Hundreds of innocent passengers and crew are killed after a commercial airliner is shot down over Eastern Europe." I don't like this. I don't like it at all. It sounds exactly like that "USA!! THE LIGHTHOUSE OF DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD!!" propaganda the US government has been spewing out the last couple of years. I really wish you could have come up with a story that did NOT refer to everyone outside the US being potential "terrorists" who kill innocents so the mighty world police gets another opportunity to send out their own Arian super humans to set things straight according to the moral values of religious right wing nuts. We had this very same discussion a while back where someone was "But it will be like Syriana, it's very anti US!!". Yeah, right. Even if the main bad guy is some American corporate leader, it's still a hypocritical and narrow minded view of the world that's being portrayed. I do not want to go there again so I'll leave it at that. Yeah, the rednecks in the US will probably love the story, but outside of those borders it rings a very tired and hated bell. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Mold Thorton into the secret agent you want to become with lethal close-combat techniques I suppose "painful and potentially incapacitating close-combat techniques" doesn't have the same ring to it. While this may come off as sarcastic, congrats on squeezing another month out of SEGA. Oh yeah, and it's cool that AP has a website too.
SirPetrakus Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Who's the Red? Also, I liked very much the skin texture on Mike's right arm, very leathery and rough. Kinda like Edward Carnby's facial textures in the new Alone in the Dark. Very nice work.
Wrath of Dagon Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah, the rednecks in the US will probably love the story, but outside of those borders it rings a very tired and hated bell. We rednecks don't care what you foreigners think. Also since Thorton is forced to go rogue, I assume there are factions within the US government which are involved.

Morgoth Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 The mkreku is just overreacting, as usual. Rain makes everything better.
Cycloneman Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 "Hundreds of innocent passengers and crew are killed after a commercial airliner is shot down over Eastern Europe." I don't like this.

You do realize that terrorism does exist, and the United States does, in fact, kill terrorists in other countries? Heck, it might not even be foreign terrorists that committed the act; after all, Thorton gets falsely thrown out really early on, and the missile is a US one. Anyway, this really isn't "good information," Mr. Rorie. Almost everything that's on that website has been seen before. I don't post if I don't have anything to say, which I guess makes me better than the rest of your so-called "community."

H Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 You do realize that terrorism does exist, and the United States does, in fact, kill terrorists in other countries? It would be nice to ask the permission of said countries first though. :derail:

crakkie Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 So if we are in the Second Great Depression by March 09 and AP is set in 2009, will Obsidian have to shoehorn that into the plot somehow? It seems like it should at least find it's way into in-game tv footage or some such. Otherwise the setting will be, like, so 2008. :re-derail: Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hmm, I suppose a passenger airline being shot down is a rather morally unambiguous plot hook, lending itself to a morally unambiguous plot. I give Obsidian full credit for being able to complicate matters though. There's no saying that some "evil mastermind" in the U.S. is responsible, or that we will spend the game searching the caves of Afghanistan for the culprit. As in real life, it could just as easily be negligence or something we did that "seemed like a good idea at the time."
J.E. Sawyer Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 "Hundreds of innocent passengers and crew are killed after a commercial airliner is shot down over Eastern Europe." I don't like this. I don't like it at all. It sounds exactly like that "USA!! THE LIGHTHOUSE OF DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD!!" I know this might sound crazy, but a game about an American intelligence operative operating on foreign soil is probably going to involve a CIA agent and should arguably involve something important to the United States! twitter tyme
Wrath of Dagon Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Misled again by the evil marketing machine! I thought this was going to be about bunnies and unicorns. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
