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

    That was a great vid. I didn't like how the AI didn't look too smart at times but perhaps it was on an easy level and the dev DID play as a commando type so...

    I really like the dialogue system as it reminds me a lot of Indigo Prophesy. I can't wait to get this game

      I don't know man, even if he was playing a run and gun type of class, he was one and two shotting stuff. Just seemed way too easy for my tastes. I am still intrigued from the mechanics alone but the AI looked seriously gimped, even for easy mode.

        I didn't like how he picking guys off at 100 yards with an assault rifle

        One thing I loved about ME was that at the beginning of the game when my sniper skills were horrible it'd be pointless for me to try pick guys off from long distance. This guy looks like a stud from the get-go. I hope its a difficulty thing.

          Yeah - the game looks awesome, and has some great scenery, but the gameplay was absolutely mediocre, and a GAME should have good GAMEPLAY on top of a story.
          How was the gameplay mediocre?

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              Didn't they show he was leveled really high in assualt rifles when they discussed the skills/leveling?

                Not only that, but he had chosen an assault rifle "perk" that specifically gave his character the ability to use an assault rifle kind of like a rapid fire sniper rifle.

                He said that these special abilities were sort like the "magic" for Alpha Protocol, so which ever ones you choose will temporarily give your Thorton extraordinary skills that one could say were super human.

                  I'm pretty sure the only perk he used was that auto-target and he simply equipped a scope to his assault rifle.

                    The auto target can't be used unless you "buy" it after you raise your assault rifle skill a certain level.

                      Of course. It was the perk he bought. I just didn't remember him also using a perk similar to the one you mentioned.

                        As Much as I am looking foward to this game, I might have to pass initially just because there are so many games coming out. Hopefully this game is as good as advertised because I am really looking foward to playing out my dreams of 007.

                          Dated for October 6

                          Obsidian's spy-themed action-RPG Alpha Protocol will ship off to North American retailers on October 6, publisher Sega has just announced.

                          The game is now subtitled "The Espionage RPG," going by the box art issued today, with all three versions--PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360--to be released simultaneously.

                          In addition to Alpha Protocol, Obsidian has two other projects in the works--Fallout: New Vegas and a secret mystery title--with its Aliens RPG recently confirmed to be cancelled.

                              Man, I just don't have the funds for all these games that look good coming out.

                              Hate it, but I got to hope some get harsh reviews and I can just skip them.

                                I will probably be waiting this one out until a price drop or a nice used copy for sale.
