apparently it's retroactive, unfortunately ... but then again - there already are hundreds of thousands of scambots, so I guess they figured out it's necessary to make it retroactive

Binary Domain is decent, cool enemies/bosses. Shooting pieces and limbs/head off of robots is fun, there're some simple teammate dialogue choices with your team members and the story is entertaining.
It's worth a few bucks, play with a controller tho because I've heard bad things about mouse/keyboard controls but I don't know if they've fixed it.
If you like TPSes like Vanquish or RE or Gears of War you will probably enjoy it.
I didn't like BD, gameplay felt boring (even though the concept of dismembering robots sounds cool) and characters were completely annoying. It also had many parts were you're forced to walk slowly, while listening to some bad dialogue. The plot was kinda original, but it didn't grab my interest much. I wouldn't recommend it.
As for AP, I played less than 2 hours. Can't tell you my opinion of it, as I can't remember anything from my (short) experience with it.
i may be in like a internet dating thing with cheesecake recipe sadkljaldasjdlkas pls cheesy why did yo make me say this... this is embarrassing lol i regret this already
alpha protocol is fantastic. it's clunky as fuck but it's got some of the best choice and consequence in any game ever and it's just an awesome game all around if you like rpgs
most of the game is just enjoying how you can make decisions and see them branch out in new alliances and betrayals and dialogue and minor gameplay bonuses, i can't think of many games that made my decisions feel so strongly as alpha protocol. the way all its systems feed off each other is just so intelligently crafted, pissing someone off might make your next mission be a bit harder but also may make someone else pleased and they'll offer to sell you mission intel or maybe give you a passive buff or maybe unlock a new dialogue, or give you background intel on one of the characters that you can use as leverage during conversation. it's really really good at that
because of the above, despite its stealth and shooting mechanics being really week, it's still one of the best games of the last generation and one of the best rpgs ever
there's just not many games like it, that you can play it over and over and over and keep discovering new outcomes and situations
very much recommended
(also for your own sanity build your character as a stealth character and make sure you get at least one point into the "chain shot" skill. there's a degree of customization to how you play the game but honestly the only fun way of going through levels is stealth)
...
binary domain is fine, shooting robots is fairly satisfying and the story and some of the characters are pretty fucking out there in a mostly funny way. i thought the game itself was kind of boring since it's a fairly standard cover shooter but the story was silly enough that for the most part i enjoyed the game.
i don't think there's much to say about it, if you like shooting stuff and you like games that don't take themselves too seriously there's probably something for you in it but it's not like vanquish or like an actual great game or anything. the designs for the robots are pretty cool tho, and chipping them to bits with your bullets is fun
Anyone know why while I'm downloading something, the download will pause itself and schedule to start again a few minutes later? It's really frustrating sometimes.

Cheers guys. Sounds really good for $3.3 (after using coupon). Love playing RPGs so I think AP should be right up my alley. Plus binary domain sounds interesting as well, who wouldn't love shooting robots?
@zkylon, thanks for those tips. Downloading the game now, lets see how it goes.
yeah essentially the game is a very simple stealth/shooter game depending on how you build your character. there's also some melee combat but yeah, the combat's not great
the stealth's pretty straightforward but since it's so tied to the leveling system you get into a like deus ex mode later on in which you can turn invisible or run without making noise and stuff which is pretty silly but is imo much more fun than the shooting upgrades
chain shot is a pistol skill that you unlock very early (i think it's like 3 or 4 points into the pistols tree?) that's key to defeating bosses, as bosses are really really difficult without it
there's other things you can do to bosses thanks to intel and decisions and whatnot that make boss fights easier but unlocking the first few ranks of chain shot is just a really easy way to making sure you're never stuck on a boss
i also recommend if you want to immediately after you beat it (if you like it) to start over and do a playthrough trying to be the biggest asshole you can be
few games allow you to be such a huge jerk as alpha protocol, it's amazing
Did anyone jump on that Humble deal for Divinity Original Sin? I see its cheaper on GOG but really looking for a Steam key and I am pretty sure Steam has had the GOG price so might hold out. Really wanting to pick that game up, just wish it would get slightly lower in price.
