Forum Overview :: Alpha Protocol

I'm just shelving it for good, luckily it was only like 4 bucks. by Worm 01/23/2013, 12:48am PST I got sick of it just halfway into the middle east when I had it on my 360 and I figured I'd give it a second chance. With the combo of the hacking minigame making my eyes bleed and the combat and stealth just being shit It's probably better if I stop playing it forever. I'm sure not going to suffer through the first 8 hours of the game again just to drop the difficulty so I can roll over enemies. I can't stand going from stealth to murdering guys with a shotgun. The stealth is too bad to only do that and the combat is too RPGy to do that. Probably doing a mix of both like you suggested is the answer but again the combat is just so fucking stupid feeling, I'm just doing stealth to avoid that shit. Why don't I just play Binary Domain and then watch Alpha Protocol cutscenes on youtube? Like everything Obsidian does it's just heavily flawed and inferior to most other options. In the end I'm playing Dialog Picker 2010 with a regular interruption from Awful Stealth Game 2010 and Awful Cover Shooter 2010.

I hope whoever recommended this to me gets the gout. by Worm 01/22/2013, 11:13pm PST     Oh and I am playing on on hard but come on, no fatal headshots, what the fuck? by Worm 01/22/2013, 11:27pm PST     It gets more fun when you stop playing it like a pure stealth game by fabio 01/23/2013, 12:12am PST         and it's your own fault playing it on hard by fabio 01/23/2013, 12:13am PST             I'm just shelving it for good, luckily it was only like 4 bucks. by Worm 01/23/2013, 12:48am PST                 The dialog was some genius by fabio 01/23/2013, 12:59am PST                     Well I got to Rome but the gameplay seems as awful as it ever was.
