fixedSallokin said:Here's a bit from the review. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the whole thing.
...We played this game for about 10 minutes and wrote our review based on quick impressions...
They also say the side quests are sort of bland etc. the review is really short actually.
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty: 3 (SO: 3.5)

I actually played it...horrible MoH wannabe.Rated-Rsuperstar said::lol :lol
Diablo has awesome loot to collect+awesome multiplayer. does CC has any of this? I dont think so.Bebpo said:Man, I guess Diablo has shitty gameplay too since it's just 1 button combat.

What Else is EA Planning? A Console?
Speculates that EA may enter the console arena in 2010. They're waiting to see if PS3 sales pick up first.

They have most of the writing talent behind Planescape: Torment so that pretty much goes without saying.Doytch said:After last year's brilliant but criminally unloved MotB, I'll be there day one for anything Obsidian puts out. They've got the best writers in the biz right now. Imo of course.

Narag said:What's the hit/miss ratio on j-gaf? I know they sold me on Etrian Odyssey and I <3 them for that.
JasonUresti said:Mike Stout's actually not at Obsidian anymore, he left there to join a new group, Bionic Games, as their lead. I believe they are working on a Wii game at this time.
joezombie said:EA launching a console would be pretty nuts. Public companies are pretty risk-adverse, and while Microsoft or Sony are large enough to gamble a bit in the space, an EA console failure could really crater the firm

What's confirmed for bioware in 2009, dragon age? But really, after the fall of black isle and trokia, obsidian probably is the WRPG company with the best writing and gameplay, but just can't figure out how to release without a rediculous number of bugsfirehawk12 said:Obsidian punches BioWare in the face!
Between Obsidian, BioWare and Bethesda, I think WRPGs are going to kick ass in 2009.

Two button combat to use your abilities, and depending on your build, you'll need to use several of the function keys (F1, F2, etc) in order to swap out skills in combatBebpo said:Man, I guess Diablo has shitty gameplay too since it's just 1 button combat.

Keep defending your FF7 spinoff, it doesn't bother me, but don't bring Diablo into this...besides, if you wanted to slam Diablo, you should have just said something about non-stop clicking instead
Example: "I've played Diablo before

Sallokin said:Alpha Protocol
(1 player action/RPG)
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Platform: PS3/360/PC
Publisher: Sega
Release: Spring 2009
"A modern day espionage focused action/RPG that takes you on a suspenseful ride in the vein of James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne. Take a wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn agent up through the ranks to become a bona-fide super spy."
-Main character is Michael Thorton, a fully trained but inexperienced young operative who has the world turned upside down when a mission goes wrong.
-Title "Alpha Protocol" is a phrase that is used when operatives go underground to work off the grid. Usually reserved for senior agents.
-Battle system is similar to Mass Effect but have more in common with Uncharted. It revolves around real time combat with an emphasis on gun play and high tech gadgets.
-Third person perspective, action orientated gameplay
-Close quarters combat can be a last resort or primary method of fighting depending on how you spend skill points you have earned.
-Skill system is based most closely on Fallout. It's classless, you have 10 skills and 10 ranks in each skill. Skills don't simply improve things like accuracy, they improve the way your character will perceive situations.
-The game will suit all play styles from the run and gunner to the stealth assassin.
-Extremely in depth dialog system that is a mix of Mass Effect and Indigo Prophecy. Once conversations happen, that's it, no revisiting the NPC to try to talk again and again. System is named the Dialog Stance System. You dictate your characters tone in a conversation by pressing a corresponding face button. Options can be cool and suave others can be brash/impatient.
-You can have multiple active missions in different countries and travel freely between them.
-Lots of girls and romance subplots. You'll meet tons of different girls on missions and yes you can bag them all.
-Current control scheme for selecting powers and weapons is similar to Bioshock.
