Alpha Protocol, anyone excited?

Anyone looking forward to this game?
Just wondering what the pc section on gamespot is thinking abotu this game?

Looks cool to me, hope it turns out good!

** STEAM PRELOAD IS UP!!!! GET THE GAME DOWNLOADED NOW!**

It does look very interesting - It looks like it's quite an intelligent game with shootiness if you want it.

Although I think I'll wait for the reviews to come out first before I do get it - the idea could be so "out there" that it goes badly wrong. I hope not, though!

Got a strange feeling towards it.

When I got Condemned: Criminal Origins I was hoping it would be something similar to the movie Seven, but it turned out to be closer to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Similarly when I look at Alpha Protocol, I'm hoping it is something like Bourne Identity, but I'm expecting XXX. Probably better having low expectations though.

I thought it looked really good when it was announced (Mass Effect with spys?), I had it preorder on steam for like a year now (delays ftw). So hopefully come June 1st the game will be great.

I've never played Deus Ex, and I've not read alot into Alpha Protocol, but from what I can tell it seems kind of similar to Deus Ex? Would I be right in saying that?

At any rate I'm fairly interested in the game.

I'm just getting it cause of who created it...

im a big stealth fan and since we haven't exactly been inundated with stealth based games i have real high hopes for it, especially taking into account the devs. but tbh, as far as games go, all i can think and care about atm is getting red dead redemption on friday. if it wasnt for that ap would likely be top of my priority list

I do, the idea of the game is good, how the developers will invest on this idea is up to them. I hope it won't end up like any other casual score 7 game which had a great idea but didn't used it's full potential

I know I am, I've been itching for a good rpg with a lot of choices and variabilities. I'm hoping that I there are a lot of ways to get finish a mission for example I can sweet talk my way in, or infiltrate in or go guns blazing. I truly hope that I doesn't end up as an action spy game where all everything ends up as a one man army scenario. But its Obsidian anything can happen with them.

The game does have a rather dated look to it... I think I'll buy this when it hits the bargain bin.

I can't wait for it! I love spy stories, especially when they're involving evil Russians:P

Well, Obsidian did an excellent job making Kotor 2! I have high hopes for this game....well...after the first patch.

I'm thining of pre-ordering it. Its the only game I REALLY want to check out this year.

I have very high hopes. I have my copy preordered on Steam (wish I had of done EB or Gamersgate though). Jason Bourne mixed with Mass Effect sounds awesome to me.

Its one of the games I am looking forward to, I just hope its well optimized, so many games lately could have been really great these past couple years if they took the time to optimize them just a little bit more. (alot of them seem rushed honestly) and I hope this isn't one of them.

The premise looks like fun, a variation on gameplay on the pc for me, I hope it turns out to be great. It doesn't have to look like the best graphically looking game by any means, just that it performs well, and has excellent immersion. Im excited, and hopeful.

It's in my tracked games list. I'm definitely interested.

I am hoping for the best Alpha Protocol in the reviews so I could buy it.Jd1680a

Why if a game doesn't buy a review you won't buy it ?

Glad to see a good number of people excited for it (:
Obsidian definatly has alot of talent.

We shall see soon how the game is!

Yeah to be honest Obsidain has the 2 games I am looking forward to most: Alpha Protocol and Fallout New Vegas.

osbidian are good at piggybacking off other companies IPs... Im not sure how well their own IP will be... at least I know they can make good games. Im quite optimisitic about it.

Yes, very much so, mostly because it's Obsidian and none of their games have let me down.

I will probably buy it next week when it's released. That'll be my first game I've bought full price since... uhh, Fallout 3 I think?

Hmm... Is it like Assassin's Creed with guns? Is it open world? I might get it.

No and no. I guess the best comparison would be to something like Deus Ex (multi-linear RPG with non-linear missions?) or Vampire Bloodlines.

I guess you can probably play it like you play Assassin's Creed, but...I don't think that's the best comparison.

I'm very excited for this game as it's one of top 3 games I'm really looking forward to and going to day 1 purchase. The other two being Starcraft 2 and Crysis 2.

Don't know but hope that it looks like Borderlandslordwarz25

it is not cell shaded or anything like that. It looks more realistic, more along the lines of other UE3 games.

Its not so much excited as 'thats the only available modern setting rpg' with decent visuals. Sad planet.

Looks interesting with the conversations and stuff,hope it's worth buying.

I'm hoping that it turns out to be good, because I need another RPG not set in a fantasy universe.

Well Obsidian took its time with this game. They're a good team but they always get rushed which leads to a load of bugs in their games. I'm hoping it wont be the same case with this one. And no amount of draconian DRM will stop me from getting this game.kimkim01

Luckily the DRM they chose it not as draconian as some. There is no constant online or install limits I am aware of. As for bugs this game was supposed to come out last fall but was pushed back to this June so hopefully they used that time to iron out any bugs.

Yes, and both counts are good moves. I really hope the gameplay won't suck. But I have little doubt that the storyline will deliver, it is Obsidian after all.

For some reason this game reminds me a lot of Mass Effect, probably because they share a lot of RPG/TPS elements.
