Alpha Protocol (Obsidian's new action-RPG)

Re: Alpha Protocol (Obsidian's new action-RPG)

I thought my local store was just off with their shipping or something like that but it turned out that they're not even getting this game or Backbreaker. I ended up coming back with Shrek! Blockbuster had this though. As Shrek actually turned out to not suck ( yes really!) I haven't played this much yet.

I like the old school Sega on boot up.
Would like to reiterate I'm disapointed in the lack of customization/character creation.
So far it's like Splinter Cell and Mass Effect had a baby and the baby was dropped on it's head.

Just finished my first playthrough on Hard and it was fun. I'll probabbly start another one and do things differently.

Rented this a couple night ago. I really like it.

There's only one boss with a stealth option? I sure hope the game isn't designed that badly but there's only been one so far and that sure hasn't been pleasing considering I put the points into stealth,martial arts and toughness instead of guns.

I've beaten the game with a stealth/martial arts/pistols character on Hard. It wasn't easy and some of the fights were frustrating but its possible.

Re: Alpha Protocol (Obsidian's new action-RPG)

Wasn't saying it's not doable,just saying there should be stealth options for every boss especially with stat based shooting. Found a few more though. Also found out it depends on what order you do them in.

It's hard to play this game without seeing how much potential it had and how much better it could've been. It's decent as is but I get the constant feeling it could've been an all time great with more work,more options and some better ideas.

This isn't really a spoiler since it's entirely possible you wouldn't see the scene and gives away no plot details or anything like that but I'll put it in a spoiler anyway...

I think as soon as this game hits the bargain bin (which hopefully shouldn't be too long), I'm picking it up.

Yeah, that whole Brayko boss fight was annoying as hell.

I spent 2 hours trying to beat him, but then with Chain Shot with 5 shots and Steel Core rounds he goes down pretty fast.

Issue with him was all my points are in Stealth, Sabotage, and Martial Arts.

What level of Shadow Op do you have?

I'm not sure. I'm two away from maxing out stealth. I know I can stab people and not come out of stealth. It's hilarious to me when I stab someone right in front of his buddies.

"What was that?!"

Have you gone to Taipei?

Spoiler

If you go to Taipei and become friends with Heck you can have him have people poison Brayko's Coke so he takes damage when he uses it.

Taipei is going to end up being the last place I go to. I finsihed Rome and Moscow.

For some reason I really love the safe houses. The one in Saudi Arabia cracked me up because it seems like a normal place till you get to the ridiculous data bank of servers in a room that no average person would have.

...Though of course with Moscow being the first one on the list that's the one people are likely to go through first.

If you do Moscow first you can get G22 to help you out in Taipei.
