GameSpot: Alpha Protocol Review

GameSpot writes: "Alpha Protocol's ambitions are commendable, and if you're a role-playing fanatic, you'll enjoy investigating its intricacies. It's unfortunate that its various ingredients are so undercooked. The flaky cover system, the mediocre production values, the fundamental blemishes gone unchecked--these elements add up quickly and drag the experience down. The elaborate storytelling and character progression are impressive. It's too bad that the gawky, glitchy gameplay can't rise to the same standard".

my expectation for this game just flush out the drain

jjesso19935875d ago

Why listen to review ? this game is great, Have ever picked game rated poorley and thought i like this I have many times and i find this one of them

crematory5875d ago

god damm it , just watch the game videos its a trash

Tony P5875d ago

It's really about what I expected, but I am no less pumped to play.

The only thing that really disappoints me is that after all the delays, the game still comes out notably buggy.

MajestieBeast5875d ago

Wow this doesnt spell any good for fallout vegas i mean same company and everything.

Elven65875d ago

They also made,

Star Wars: KOTOR II (Although LA really messed them up)
Neverwinter Nights 2 and expansions

Before that, the key team at Obsidian worked at Black Isle and made games like,

Fallout series
Baldurs Gate series
Ice Wind Dales series
Planetscape: Torment

Just because one game looks to be mediocre does not mean the studio itself is incompetent. Plus New Vegas incorporates aspects from Van Buren (what a lot of Fallout fans consider the true Fallout 3) so I'm sure it'll be great.

BakedGoods5875d ago

I agree. The review is a bit harsh too. Most other reviews commend the RPG aspects and story-line choices. It's the outdated graphics and weak AI that hurt it.

ps3best5873d ago

fallout new vegas looks solid

mrv3215875d ago

Despite the fact I'm fairly sure they'll use VATS in F: New Vegas, so the combat isn't too much of a worry.

ps3best5873d ago

fallout new vegas will be their only good game i think

VegaShinra5875d ago

This is gonna be one of those games with mixed scores all ova the place

sluttytuna5875d ago

Gamespot gives great reviews but my god it kills me! A great game like Red Dead comes out and it NEVER have the review up the day it comes out! But look a crap game and BAM review 4 days early!

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne731d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro730d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator730d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC857d ago (Edited 857d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga857d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics857d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend856d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long857d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons857d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor857d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52856d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602856d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor857d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B856d ago (Edited 856d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
