1. Probably because Fallout is a big hype while AP got a big hype then it died down due to it being pushed back half a year.
2. They don't really matter, it's all about some guy/gal's opinions put on paper with a rating they gave next to it. And we all have different tastes in games and what we consider important so someone giving a game a perfect 10 is not going to matter if I think that it's gameplay looks boring as hell.
3. 2/10? And it was rated that low because?
4. It screams slow start but other than that it's very interesting and challenging.
5. It was? Who was the jury for that?
6. Sure we can, can argue about everything, I say that the sky is pink, now let's debate.


Should try it.

Yes i understand you point to. Im not saying that he should like or not. Im saying theres a very slim chance that they should make a new one since the old on is terrible. Not to mention even suggest to make one.

1. also it got bad reviews...
2. So what dont listen to anybodys opinion well then i guess nobody should talk if you not going to listen to them or acknowledge them?!
3. http://www.destructoid.com/review-alpha-protocol-174617.phtml
4. its very interesting with its much heard glitches and bugs...
5. http://www.xboxer360.com/features/top-10-worst-games-of-2010/
6. DONT START.

Alpha Protocol discussion should belong to the Obsidian forum.

But I would make one post about it.

While it have many, many flaws that shouldn't appear in a UT engine game, and it was too combat heavy to be call a spy game, it does provide some nice cross progress quest, nice dialog options and consequences.

Unlike the other Metal Gear Solid "inspired" game, which cheat the formula of its forefather, AP blend it with their own flavor.

It is one of the few "modern" game I have play with good core game mechanics.

Ace, you are pretty much, derailed this thread, to heck, dont like the game, fine then, dont play it, but dont judge people who wants to do it

Some people wait for another Alpha Protocol, companies pretty much dont care alot about reviews too, why do you think that some companies like SEGA and EA still release sequels about their games despite another reviews?

Alpha Protocol got positive reviews in Europe, but not in USA, so, why they should care about it, at the end of the day, they are purely subjetive, not all of us care about it

Look for example Resident Evil 5, highs scores and good reviews, yet is a horrible game
Fallout 3 got good reviews too, the Fanbase on the other hand..... didnt receive it with warms hands

The reviews:

They can go to hell for what I care about them



First they got "lazy"
Now they got "lucky"?!!!!

Yeah sure, I know where this thread is about going to end
Mods please!!!!! :facepalm:

Lol its only true. I dont know why your getting so mad about the whole situation.

exactly ace, i find ratings pretty accurate, most of the game sites have both reviewers ratings and players ratings and they're usually pretty close, within a half point generally, i've played my share of games lately, stalker, metro 2033, FO3, oblivion, wolfenstein, mass effect 2, new vegas etc, a few others that svcked like army of two, game ratings are very accurate, i would say the games i played i would give about the same rating i find on the internet., they usually point out legitimate flaws and also the good things about the game. so to me they're plenty accurate.

To you guys. You.

Notice the You, for some reviews may mean jack[censored], it may not, it's all opinions.

Deal with it.

I love Diablo 2. Still play it. It is extremely addicting, not even kidding. My friend and I had to duct tape our disks and throw them in his garage to keep passing grades... It svcked but I found it!

Ummm back on topic
Thank you Obisidan for making this game. I would be willing to pay for it again it was so good!
Thank you Bethesda for letting them and bringing Fallout back to life; lets get real, if Fallout was still a RPG a non-FPS no one would be on this forum right now.
Thank you Adam Smith for writing the "Capitalist Manifesto" and helping create this environment in which all of this is possible.
Thank you Karl Marx for writing your [censored] Communist Manifesto and creating the Cold War with your ideas
Thank you America, I love this damn country
Thank you parents, I like existing
Thank you God, I'm sure this comment won't send me to Hell
Thank you......ummm that's about it.

Me yes, some of us dont need FPS to play RPG

We have true FPS for that

Duke Nukem,Doom,Quake,etc



You Should writte that here

this thread makes me nauseous.

Regarding Alpha Protocol reviews, and why not a bit of the legitimacy and reliability of reviews in general, http://free-pc-guides.com/games/difference-of-opinions-alpha-protocol-eu-vs-us-reviews-whos-right-and-whos-wrong-01928

Agreed.

Not true, I would most definitely be here, and did you just imply that Fallout is no longer an RPG is is now an FPS, because I do so frown at the idea.

Capitalism, while it may not be perfect, is a functioning alternative to other systems that have not shown their ability to function at the same level.

That is... no... [censored] Karl Marx, damn him to hell, his stupid ideas have led to millions of deaths at the hands of evil communist dictators like Stalin and Pol Pot.

Indeed.

Don't forget to thank Uncle Sam for your existing happily.

That is vain, vanity is a sin, you're going to hell. :wink_smile:

.ti tuoba mmmu......uoy knahT

Thank you Bethesda and Obsidian. I hope Beth keeps cooperating with Obsidian to design Fallout 4 using Skyrim's engine with all strengths and no weaknesses of FO3 and NV. :fallout:



There is a big difference between being rated the worst game of a year, and being the worst game of a year.

Do you know about Bidone d'Oro or the Razzies? Bidone d'Oro is given to the worst football player of the year in Italy, and Razzie "awards" are given to worst actors/movies, but they are always given to big, overhyped movies and stars because of disappointment, instead of the real "worsts". Alpha Protocol was a very disappointing game because of being released unpolished, but if anyone truly thinks it's the outright worst game of 2010, they should play more games, period.

Thank you for making a game that will go into my top-list for games

You emit nauseousness? That thought makes me nauseated.

I'd like to thank my kid for playing fo3 one day when I walked by his tv.
I'd like to thank my boss for hiring me so I could afford to buy it and all the other FO games.
I'd like to thank Josh for honestly trying (but not quite getting there) to make the weapons acceptably realistic.
I'd like to thank all the guys on the forum who were here prior to release for all the great speculation and conversation leading up to the final day. Most have gone on, rarely do I see them around, but you all know who you are, and kudos to those of you who have stuck around, and are posting constructively. I kinda miss my gun nuts.
And finally, I'd like to thank the non-constructive posters, who also know who they are, who seem to have infested the forum while I was on vacation for a few weeks. I'd like to thank them in advance for changing their less than constructive ways and positively contributing to a polite and respectful conversation.

-Gunny out.

Thank Tim Cain and the rest of the Fallout 1 design team. They came up with almost all of the conceptual material that FO2, FO3 & FO:NV are based on.

Just thought about it, perhaps he means that AP was the worst good game of 2010? Because i can think of some pretty terrible games, games that might as well be minigames.

Thank the Lord,God,Old Mighty!!!! That I had to go through one of the longest installing process of my life just because I had to go through Steam.Yup,first day I got it and I couldn't even play it in till next day.Yup, just looking at it download was so much fun.It was10 times better then just installing it through the disc like every other fallout game ever made! But no! That would be way to easy and user friendly!!! Steam was the way to go! :goodjob:

There are some very indistinc differences between facetiousness and sarcasm sometimes, but I think you're going with sarcasm here, right?

-Gunny out.

Nothing but pure happiness and tears of joy when I wrote that! :cryvaultboy:

Then I'll toast you with a nice Beck's Dark. I'm thankful for beer.

I also wanna know what's up with this "dinosaur's club" crap? :hubbahubba: I go away for a coupla weeks and everyone starts a new club without me? Not a way to help my self-esteem guys. How do I join? Am I allowed to join? Is there a special handshake? Do we get a clubhouse? Are there cookies?

-Gunny out.

We be [censored]in' about our being "stuck in the past and can't move on".

Everybody get on the floor! Everybody do the Di-no-saur!

We have no personality, we are dinosaurs, we stuck in the past, we hate Bethesda ,

THIS-IS-THE-DINOSAUR-CLUB



AND PROUD OF IT!!!!!
