Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I meant in a "tough choice" way, not a "this game is a fucking atrocity" way
Their solution was to cut down the size of the game.
It's about 20 hours for a full playthrough, whereas KOTOR2, Mass Effect, Fallout: New Vegas, etc. are more like 40+

man I ain't playing a roguelike
I don't hate myself enough
Exactly.
Not only is it just one game (instead of Mass Effect, which has to account for an entire trilogy), but it is one relatively short game (for an RPG).
So you can finish it quicker than you can most other RPGs, but multiple playthroughs allow for much greater variety.
God damn it I want another Alpha Protocol.
Yep. It's pretty nutty how much stuff changes depending on what you decide to do.

I'd say AP has come closest
I am looking forward to that South Park RPG
but it will probably be terrible
I heard about it and wondered how it could be anything but terrible

and I like RPGs with unconventional settings
Its a shame that Troika went under, VtM:bloodlines was an awesome game, hopefully obsidian doesn't follow suit.
Which is a crying shame, since AP was a fantastic RPG.
They just released it too late...
Kind of like Outpost 2. Fun RTS, but by most of the combat and building mechanics were pretty bland. And then StarCraft came out and that was it.

Man.
It would have been great to have more WoD games with Troika at the helm.
If only...
Oh shit. I thought I was the only person who knew Outpost 2 even existed.
I could never figure the mechanics of that game out; which was a shame, because it seemed really neat.
But what they were trying to do with the storytelling and dialog was impressive, and from what I remember, that was acknowledged.

just once
any major dude will tell you
As much as I love Alpha Protocol...
I really can't agree with that.
false, truthfully everything about alpha protocol outside of the story and the dialogue was really pretty weak.
the shooting is SO BAD
i tried adjusting the sensitivity of the mouse
i had two choices
slow as molasses
twitch sensitivity
both sucked
I know that's hard to believe but it's true
i want to play sonic generations properly
my main problem with the story of Alpha Protocol was with the player character (mike? was that his name?)
the fact that you could change your dialogue approach on the fly made it seem like he didn't have a character of his own
having every personality is essentially having no personality
and the mechanics just weren't good enough for me to put up with a game full of characters I didn't give a shit about
though the crazy guy voiced by Nolan North almost made it worthwhile
any major dude will tell you
Except the sweet, sweet pistol.
FINISH YOUR GODDAMN GAMES
metacritic has it a 72 on PC with consoles in the low sixties
and we can argue over what that means in an age where reviewers rarely go below 8
but I think we can all agree
this is not "critical success"
any major dude will tell you
I like how Dragon Age II solved this problem
It took your first few responses and tweaked incidental dialogue based on that
So if you went snarky the first few times, you could still pick other options but still be mostly a smartass
but it's so haaaaaaard
which, if anyone cares to, they can read here
I thought it was better than Fallout 3 in most ways
but it seemed too much like an expansion pack
it really needed more in order to stand on its own feet
which is a damn shame because it had so much more character
any major dude will tell you
White whine.
that's racist
You're racist, Desmond.
way better dlc though
Except for dead money, that was horseshit
I didn't play DAII
I tried the demo, the combat didn't really lift my luggage
though I reaallly liked that "snarky jackass" was a regular dialogue option instead of something that popped up every now and again
if I ever play it I'm picking that every damn time
any major dude will tell you
Man, nobody gonna live up to the western RPG pipedream.
Even ME falters hard.
