MMGN Writes: Alpha Protocol is bursting with great ideas, but none of them make it to the surface unscathed. The RPG and character development elements are perfect for the third person shooter audience. Your actions and skill development have an enormous influence on the game's outcome and adds some reply value. Unfortunately it’s all let down by bug infested gameplay. For a third person shooter the shooting is way below par, the A.I. is as bad as it gets and the cover system just doesn’t work. It had the potential to be great and still offers some fun, but Alpha Protocol is riddled with flaws that stop it being all it should have been.
Alpha Protocol has sneaked its way back onto Steam as part of its Summer Sale, much to the surprise of a few loyal fans.
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.
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.
Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
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!
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.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring
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.
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.
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.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Well I wanted to play it but I think I'm gonna pass on this one.
I think this review needs really to be adjusted a bit.
First thing first ... this is way more an RPG than Mass Effect 2. The relationship with NPC is more interesting than just having only to make the 2 choices of previous Action RPG. Stealth system works great, you can perform a mission without firing a bullet if you're careful enough. The aim obviously is not perfect because otherwise it wouldn't be an RPG. I mean if you have skills and item for improving aim it's OBVIOUS your aim is not related with how you point your crosshair. Haven't played the story very far so I can't express an firm opinion, but for now I find it funny and interesting. I agree graphical component is not the best but that's not an as bad as the review says. I agree you can't get enemies weapon but what games makes you get every enemy's weapon ?
Framerate is not an issue on PS3, for now at least...
Some issue for sure but i don't see how this is a "6" while Mass Effect 2 is a "9". I sometimes wonder if reviewers gives votes based on game or game's hype.
