Is Alpha Protocol worth at least one playthrough? Are there any redeeming qualities?

You're missing the GFWL thread in the PC gaming thread.

Alpha Protocol is worth multiple playthroughs. The way it branches with story and the way it handles dialogue and character interaction is really exemplary. Some people get bogged down by the action segments thinking it should play like a third person shooter when it's instead more of an RPG and handling rolls in the background. Get over that mindset and it's a real gem.

Its pretty good and worth a play through. However keep in mind that its an RPG and not a shooter. So in the beginning, aiming sucks until your character gets up in stats.

I honestly don't think it deserves a place there.
it's worth many of them, i've beaten it at least four times
the game's a clunky mess but redeeming qualities it's filled with, lots of awesome choice and consequence and cool characters and moments, it's a fantastic game
But Uplay does? You cannot discriminate between shitty services
I really hope this works

Don't suppose anyone was able to find out why Bulletstorm went back up on the Steam store?
Perhaps Bulletstorm 2 will be revealed on E3. Believe.

Skyrim is 4.99 at Gamefly. I don't know if there's a code on top of that.

You can do either, I think.
Maybe they've decided to do something about GFWL. Guess one can hope
I actually I want to replay but on PC this time. I've seen some great Screenshots from the PC version and it's a nice looking game.

Maybe the shut down date for GFWL was changed.

It's easily one of the best looking games I've seen when maxed out.

I bought a few online codes off Newegg today. Had some gift cards. Thief (the new one), Watchdogs and Southpark. Thief show up on my email mail box. (in clear text, wonderful security Newegg) Gives you instructions on how to install steam and use the code. no problem. Done it many times before. Watch Dogs and Southpark codes just show up in an email. No real instructions. Since both were were listed uplay games, I go there first. Watch Dogs activates fine. Southpark doesn't work. After a few minutes, I plugged the code into steam and it worked there. Not exactly consistent. Don't think I want to use newegg to buy online game codes over amazon.

Be careful, if Grief posts another couple of screenshots my browser may take forever for them to load!
Fine! I'll just replay the PC version one day.
Just a warning, the PC version has mouse acceleration. I remember being some the first time I played the game more than two years ago, but I didn't think it was too distracting. I tried playing the game a couple of days ago and the mouse acceleration seemed to be worst than I remembered.
It's not that bad tho. We're not talking about Dead Space levels of broken mouse controls, but it can still be annoying.
edit: Thanks for The Void Shade.

Has there been any videos of the new Grid game?
I don't see it?
Thanks for The Stars Are Left DLC.
Also, thank you, Knurek, for Cognition in the last thread.

Oops you're right, forgot about that. Yeah it's Origin.

Unfortunately this needs to be registered through U-Play but this still seems like the best thread to give it away in. I'll stick to Steam in the future.

Nice giveaway! Not really interested, so good luck to the winner, and thank you Dupy, for being awesome

I think I'd call GFWL more of a disservice to anyone stuck using it.

Thanks for the reminder!
If the day comes I can always use the 360 controller if all else fails or the issue is permanent. I played with a controller once, I can do it again (I also finished Dead Space 1 with the controller except one part of the game).- Status
