Alpha Protocol (Obsidian's new action-RPG)

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

Gameplay and RPG elements look pretty good, but some of the animations look pretty bad. Still, could be a pretty fun game.

This game looks like it should be $40. I don't know what they're spending so much time doing but it's not helping the game look any better.

Damn this game is ugly. As long as it gets a "7" or "3 out of 5", I'll pick it up once it hits the cheapo rack.

Pet Peeve: When a "boss" is suddenly impervious to bullets until his energy meter runs out. This is just poor design. You have two viable options here. You can either a) make him harder to hit or b) armor him up

Rendering my bullets ineffective just doesn't make sense.

Man there are way too many interesting games in May "sigh"

Nice video though.

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

Looks interesting. Hope it's not too demanding, so I can play it on my PC.

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

If this wasn't by Obsidian I might be more skeptical, but since I totally trust their storytelling and character development, I can deal with any other shortcomings the game may have.

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

I love the amount of RPG options, but this still looks really dated overall. I'm sure it won't be a bad game, but it had the potential to be something really special given the premise and developer.

I was really excited for this at one point and now I don't know.

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

Graphics and animation look last-gen, but that's alright.
I'm always complaining that there aren't enough original games being made. This looks different and I look forward to trying it out.

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

Looks pretty terrible. But who knows. Still looking forward to trying it out.

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

I'll take a look at the 30 mins of gameplay later tonight. From what i've seen though this game is still very original and interesting but there looks to be a lot of little things that keep it from being great. I'll still rent it if I can find it at Blockbuster though.

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

Looks like a 2007 game. Watched just half of the first video, maybe i'll watch the rest later. Still could be a fun game to play. I just hope the PC version doesn't have high system requirements because it certainly doesn't justify it.

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

Everytime I see this game it makes me wonder what they've been doing all this time and I wish that Bioware had taken this idea and made a game out of it cause Obsidian just feels like a B level developer.
