Alpha Protocol is underrated and deserves some more praise. GS scored this wrong

When considered as an action game, sure, it's not great.
When considered as an RPG (which is what it says on the box, and what the company is known for), it's fantastic, but the gameplay is a bit mediocre.

Basically, your enjoyment depends on your expectations. It's definitely a better RPG than Mass Effect, but if you prfer action games then you won't like it as much.

Better RPG=crappy shooting and action mechanics? That seem to be the opinion here.

yep

It will be Deus Ex Human Revolution that will show them how its done, leveling up your weapons and biomods will let you do more abilities with the specific weapon or mod, not increase their accuracy or power. Face it, times change, and hiding poor shooting mechanics behind RPG elements is over, even DX series is breaking from it.

Its not over, not now not ever, as it is one of the foundations of role playing.

Battle proficiencies on all RPG should be based on the character side, If not, you aren't really role playing anything. The action part is just how you approach the system, but that's all.

Shooter with skills != RPG
