No that bit is right, I did it for this play through. Worked really well.

Why don't you buy it and play it. If Stark likes it, you can have a safe bet it's going to be fun and decent.Vympel wrote:Since I can't be bothered to find out just WTF its supposed to be for myself. It looks pretty.
Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
I probably will. However, gaming backlog laws are still in effect - subject to EB Games' June sale. I've already bought AvP, 1/2 price.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
Oh dude, fucking return that shit before your 7 days is up. Unless you're talking about the original AvP, which is ok. New one is a complete turd. I spent 4 years as a member of an AvP community, anticipating a third game in the series, and I felt like my dick was going through a blender when I finally got to play it. Fuck me the game is mediocre.Vympel wrote:I probably will. However, gaming backlog laws are still in effect - subject to EB Games' June sale. I've already bought AvP, 1/2 price.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
Having a 'gaming backlog' like you're some kind of slave to lists or Captain OCD is lame enough, but putting off games to play shit like AvP is just sad.
Everyone who has a 'gaming backlog' that they have to 'work through' before they can play current titles is a sadcase.
At least RDR and Alan Wank are contempory and recieved good reviews. Did *anyone* like AvP?

But hey, you better reverse your opinion or else you'll be agreeing with a criticcal consensus on something.

No, it's OK Stark didn't like it first. 
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
So let me get this straight... on the backlog thing... you won't play a new game, or even buy it, because you have other games you haven't played yet?
Wow. No wonder nerds get obsessed with girls and stay hopeless virgins... they can't move on to a new one until they bang the one they are pining over.

It's not like Vympel's been overseas on a holiday for the past month and hasn't been able to play anything.

Calm down there Lancealot. Princess Vympel's honor isn't being challenged. I'm just commenting on this 'backlog issue' which apparently, many more users than Vympel, have.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
So AvP sucks? Hmmm. I better install it tonight, see if I like it, and return it tomorrow if it sucks.
1. I get my money's worth with the games I already own that I want to finish; and
2. When I get the new games that come out, they will be much cheaper than when they first came out.
I buck this rule for the 'big' games that I really want to play right now, but its served me well.
Not being anywhere near a computer for the last 3 weeks had an adverse effect, but overseas holiday in California/Nevada/Utah/Colorado/South Dakota/Wyoming/Montana (I was on a bus tour Alyeska, otherwise I would've contacted you) >>> gaming.
EDIT: an example - I never bought DoW2 when it came out. When Chaos Rising came out, I got the gold version of DoW2 including the expansion for $79.95 - less than what I would've paid for the full game. I then promptly finished both (since I really wanted to play them, I bumped the order). What'd I lose? Nothing. What'd I save? About $50.00.
You said lame, but you meant smart. See, by putting off buying games that I want to play so I can finish games I already own, I accomplish two things:-Having a 'gaming backlog' like you're some kind of slave to lists or Captain OCD is lame enough, but putting off games to play shit like AvP is just sad.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
Pure scuttlebuttery. I played through and completed Assassin's Creed 2 like two weeks ago. I plowed through Mass Effect 2 a few times in the last couple months. I played my DLC for The Force Unleashed (which sucked by the way). I simply enjoy Madden and football and will play it whenever the mood strikes me. I also happen to not buy a lot of games. For instance, I bought Borderlands, which I can't stand, against my better judgment because SOMEONE kept pestering me and said I would like it. Unlike you thieves in AU, you can't just steal a game for three weeks then decide it is time to return it.Stofsk wrote:Havok wrote:Calm down there Lancealot.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
TFU as a whole sucked so it's your own fault for that one. They should just remake Jedi Outcast and be done with it. Ah the memories.I played my DLC for The Force Unleashed (which sucked by the way).
Yeeep. For some reason, although I never really find myself enjoying the game all that much at any point in time, I keep playing it, over and over, because it still feels like I'm not quite "done" with it yet. It's bizarre. So I keep lending my copy of ME2 to other people so I have free time to do other things.I plowed through Mass Effect 2 a few times in the last couple months.
Just the one week. But what can you expect from a nation founded by criminals?Unlike you thieves in AU, you can't just steal a game for three weeks then decide it is time to return it.

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
After three playthroughs, the game can still surprise me. If only it wasn't assassinated by reviews and there was a chance for the sequel the planned?

Re: Tell me about Alpha Protocol
Just how good is Alpha Protocol on the PC? There is absolutely zero chance of me ever getting a console. Is the game enjoyable? How does it compare to other action RPGs?
