ZeroTolerance Writes: Alpha Protocol is the kind of game that comes along once a generation. Some gamers will adore it, others will loathe it, but most will respect it. The culmination of pieces that Obsidian has put together creates a game that stands head and shoulders above the competition in certain areas, while lagging embarrassingly behind in others. It is evident when you are playing Alpha Protocol that the developers really had some passion behind their creation, and at times it shows in some truly revolutionary gameplay. What this all boils down to is that Alpha Protocol is a game that you really need to know what you are getting into before deciding to drop your hard earned cash down for.
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!
More mixed reviews for AP
This game is crap! No, I haven't played it but the reviews speak for themselves. The only reviews higher than a 6 are from nobody sites. I can't believe I got so many disagrees in other threads proclaiming this game to be crap! The reviews speak for themselves.
*EDIT* @ Below:
1up is the exception. You can spend your money on a crap game, I won't hold it against you. However, when the majority of reviews are under 7, you can expect a poor game.
gamespot gave lost planet 2 a 5.5 i believe and this a 6.5...I thoroughly enjoy LP2, so it makes me wonder how AP will turn out in my opinion.
I've played through and completed Alpha protocol as a stealth character and this has to be the fairest review of the game I've seen.
It is the Marmite of the video game world.
If you enjoy RPG's and can look past its flaws then it's easily an 8/10. The impacts of the choices you make are even better and more extreme than the mass effect series; Entire plot lines and major characters can be changed or missed out all together.
For some people though its flaws will be too much and it'll be more like 4/10. If you want a gears of war beating 3rd person shooter with shiny graphics and intelligent AI then stay away.
viking alot that got bad reviews.
