C2B Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Both aren't really known anymore for quality reviews, but if even they give the game such a good rating, it has to be better than average. To round up the scores I've already found or heard about 1x 87 5x 85 2x 80 2x 74 2x 70 Mentioning that all of the review scores under 80% except one + a 85% score and a 80% came from different rating systems. The two 70 scores for example were from two french magazines that gave it 14/20. Its also pretty mixed in terms of how "professional" the score is. Though its al by people that played through.

Well, my experience on the internet is that when theres no evidence of something, its generally not there. idk either way; but it really doesn't matter I wanted to see why it got a good score, not just a number.

Renevent Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Well this is good news, I hope it continues to get good reviews and the game is really solid past what the demo showed us.

Oner Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Are you narcoleptic or something what with all those emotes? Did any of the reviews mention how long the campaign is? Devs said it's around 25-30 hours. If we go by Alpha Protocol -which was supposed to last 25-30 hours too-, that means 20-35 hours.

One of those I managed to find as a PDF file. You can, too. Apparently, Game Informer and PC Gamer also did reviews recently, I think the game is scored 8/10 and 85/100, respectively.

Bendu Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 More interesting stuff from Nathaniel at SA: Yeah, I'm not really thrilled with the demo either TBQH. I think that some of the restrictions make it hard to get a feel for what the game is really like. All I can say is, if the demo turned you off but you were otherwise interested in the game, take a look at the reviews of the full game. There's a lot of depth both to the gameplay and the story that you're not going to get from the demo. Also, the Jeyne Kassynder thing... yeah. That problem actually ended up being introduced relatively late because we ended up cutting together some movies to make the introduction character specific (we originally just had one intro for all the characters, which was a lot less cool). So we worked on all these movies in parts, and then by the time we had the VO finally in and everything playing together, we realized that the dude says "Jeyne Kassynder" wayyyy too much in those intro videos and in the first hour of gameplay in general. Unfortunately we were pretty limited on the amount of edits we could do after getting the stuff back. I can say, though, that it gets better after the first hour or so. We're also listening to the complains about the game in this and other forums and trying to address what we can. I'll let you know what we identify changing. Some things we're looking at right now are making it so that the camera doesn't rotate in the opposite direction when hitting S+ A or D, and defaulting Camera Auto-Orient to off. We've also fixed a couple startup crashes (mostly from playing the English version of the game with Windows set to certain other specific languages like Czech), and we're working on fixing some anti-aliasing issues for ATI cards. There's some other stuff we're looking at but it's more risky and so I don't really want to promise it without knowing we'll get it in the retail game for sure. Oh, also, we fixed a bug with our anti-aliasing code that was causing textures to get blurred out on at least the 360 version, potentially other versions too. So we're listening and fixing what we can. The AI will prefer abilities that have more talent points put into them, so you can use that to sort of customize how they behave. We've done a lot of testing/iteration on companion AI but it isn't perfect so if there are specific situations where it seems like they're being dumb let us know here or in our forums and we'll see if we can improve it. One thing that the AI will do is analyze the number of enemies they are fighting to select their stance. So it's likely that if she's getting swamped she's choosing to use Melee, which is her AoE stance, and that's outweighing her desire to use her more upgraded abilities.
