AlphaPro Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 wow, all this racism is making me hungry. Big mac, anyone? build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaPro Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Oh, and to answer the usefulness of the radio mimic, its for more than one person, i.e. two people are talking, you could either A. Blow one of there heads off with a bolt action, then the other one pulls an alarm. Or B. use the mimic to lure them into the train your on, quietly dispatch them with your knife THEN blow the other guys head off with a bolt-action. Of course, an m-60 would probably solve that problem by spraying, no wait, make that a suprressed m-60. build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

lord of flies Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 OT: If you didn't pay attention to the story, how do you know it's "so-so" and it doesn't have enough anti-imperialism and whatnot? Maybe you just missed it. I always pay attention when anti-imperialism is being discussed. Always. Always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the fuzziness and black and white, we workers don't need colour or multi megapixel camera phones though really. That certainly implies a communist option, doesn't it? Outrageous! They seem to have lumped together Marxism-Leninism and Titoism and made them into a single dialogue option... Man, I miss BG2, where there would be options for EVERY communist alignment. Things are so simplified these days. Fat chance we will see that kind of depth again in modern RPGs with the new edition of the DnD rules (and with the 360 having only four of those fancy buttons to choose dialogue stance with). Besides, only one of the buttons is actually red. How are you supposed to fit the entire spectrum of authoritarian socialism into one button? At least they could have made a pink button for anarcha-feminism or a black one for Barack Obama. Edited October 3, 2009 by Rostere "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name.

Perseus Veil Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Alright folks, I got my hands on this game a little while back but there was some pesky legal bull**** that prevented me from posting about it! Fortunately, I remembered to sign my name incorrectly, so it doesn't matter one iota. Next time, make sure the person didn't sign their name "Mickey Mouse"! Ha ha ha! So I was in some kind of building as Mike Thorton, unarmed and doing the moonwalk. I ran around in circles at varying speeds to giggle at the animations for about... oh I don't know... three, four minutes? One of the nice folks from Obsidian told me to stop, though, so I did and got around to playing. A character with purple hair, a girl I think, was talking, but I was ignoring her because she's a DIRTY CAPITALIST PIG-DOG. I called up my old ex-Stasi buddy and we went out for drinks and killing in Moscow. The mission involved... getting something? Honestly, I wasn't paying attention. The plot was very so-so, in my professional opinion. Not enough anti-imperialism or worldwide revolution. I'd recommend you take a look at the possibility of altering your subtitles (and dialogue?) so that instead of the "United States of America," it reads "the United $nakes of Amerikkka." You know, give it a little oomph. Check out Monkey Smashes Heaven to see what I mean. Combat was all right, but Obsidian, you seriously need to make it so that you don't have all these silly weapons. I mean, honestly. I can't remember what it was called, but there's some doohickey that lets you throw a sonic device or something. I spent a good while trying to nail one of those mother****ers in the head with it, and when I finally did? IT DID NOTHING. Nice job, Obs. In conclusion, once these problems are corrected I think Alpha Protocol is GOTY 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Outrageous! They seem to have lumped together Marxism-Leninism and Titoism and made them into a single dialogue option... All is not lost, I have heard rumours that the game may have been delayed to fix this very issue. Apparently they are swapping the capitalist running dog 'Bauer, Bourne, Bond' archetypes for 'Stalin, Trotsky, Marx'. It may not be perfect but I think it deserves a hearty 'congratulations comrades' and a spontaneous rendition (not in the fascio-bourgouis extrajudicial kidnap meaning) of the 'Internationale'.

Rostere Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Also, I hope that Alpha Protocol will follow in the footsteps of communist RPGs of the past and have a classless skill system! Long live the revolution of Fallout (and I'm not talking about the reactionary crypto-fascist bull**** that was the third installation in the series) and Arcanum!

I would remind you, comrade, that "culture" is a concept foisted on the proleteriat in an attempt to control our minds and to provide distraction from global revolution- in fact, much as religion is the opiate of the people, culture can be said to be its methamphetamine.

Actually, you thrice-damned anti-revisionist, the existence of a cultured and educated proletariat is a fundamental necessity for the revolution. Prior to the October Revolution, Marxists all agreed on that simple fact (and thus thought that the revolution could not occur in undeveloped countries like Russia), and even the Bolsheviks built a big chunk of their early foreign policy waiting on a German revolution to occur.
