Active Time Babble XVI: Alpha Protocol & Fallout New Vegas (06/03/2010)

 

It's all Obsidian this week as Scott Sharkey joins Scooter and Kat to discuss whether the ambitious espionage RPG Alpha Protocol manages to reach 00 Agent status, or if it goes down in flames like the final season of 24. Also check out the Fallout: New Vegas discussion, and a quick preview of what to expect from ATB as we prepare for E3!

I like that the woman didn't even get past Saudi Arabia yet drops all sorts of negative criticism.

All the problem within AP are there in Saudi. Getting through it does not make those problems go away.

One can hardly comment on a game when 90% of it has not been experienced.

 

It would be like me saying Star Wars episode 5 is crap, after only seeing the first 10 minutes.

Isn't that your typical game reviewer?

At least she stayed quiet most of the time.

To be fair, she does say you can easily dismiss the game based off how it begins at the beginning of the segment so it's not like she completely passed it off but all the hosts acknowledged the problem.

Does anybody have the twitter they were talking about on the show? It sounded really interesting.

1UP executive editor Thierry Nguyen's tweet

"Whoah, @ChrisAvellone is basically livetweeting the ATB podcast where we talk up Obsidian. Now learning what we get right/wrong from him."

Avellone got quite angry at a spoiler for KOTOR2, going from his twitter.

 

Nice spoiler for the opening of K2, buddy.
