waiting for a discounted game of the year/complete edition after selling it right before the DLC was made available for ps3.

The last dlc hasn't been announced yet, so there won't be a GOTY edition anytime soon

FRAKISTAN4051d ago

the last dlc i think is titled redguard according to the rumours floating about

Typical-Guy4051d ago

I should pick this up again... I never finished it due to the issues it had on PS3. Now is the time!

konnerbllb4051d ago

My game freezes every 5-15 minutes on xbox. Funny thing is if I create a new character it doesn't freeze at all. Hopefully this patch fixes that.

I feel sorry for you ps3 guys, I heard you had it bad. I think the same issue with the large save file freezing the game is persistent on xbox as well but from what I've read it's much worse over on PS3.

SpecialK4051d ago

I have it on the ps3 but Ive seen it on the xbox.

The main issue is the frame rate, in areas its not smooth at all. The next thing is the lighting, in some of the darker sections its like looking at 2 different games.

Still good game though. Just could have done with more dev time.

violents4051d ago

It helped mine from freezing so much if I turned off autosaving, but then you have to remember to save constantly or risk losing hours of gameplay if it glitches out and you havent saved. I got it on ps3, dont know if it will help on xbox but you can try it.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast33d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22933d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko33d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
