alpha protocol published by sega and developped by obsidian is a self titled spy rpg, it blends elements from spy games and RPG games.
the spy elements are woven into this game with the implementation of stealth and story. The story is decent enough for a spy movie and offers enough twists and turns to keep your attention. The stealth elements are good though you might find some abilities that you develop are a bit over the top and unrealistic, they still work and make for some fun sneaking around. However if you so choose you could totally forego stealth and play through the games guns blazing or fists pumping you would however face the consequences and the story would unfold differrently. Which brings me to the RPG element of the game, the dialog is interspersed with multiple choice answers which affect the the story and your reputation with other characters. the reputation system will allow you to interact with those characters on a professional level for example an ally you have made might offer you some information for a mission you are about to do, for a price, which could help you.
The character evolves his abilities by completing objectives during missions, some are compulsory, some are optionnal and you will acquire different amounts of experience for accomplishing it differently.
the game is centered around a hub from which you choose your destination(missions) which act like levels.
the graphics while decent, are nothing to write home about and i experienced some framerate drops during certain parts.
The loading times are very short but very frequent and will occur during the game, in the middle of a level.
The sounds are convincing however the voice acting is very good and very diverse as well as the soundtrack.
The controls are fairly intuitive however the aiming might take a little bit taking used to after the tutorials.
Overall a fun game which lasted me about 14 hours on my first playthrough. This game had a bold premise and i'm confident in saying that it succeeded.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
may rent this from gamefly I need a descent WRPG to play for a bit
are the graphics really that bad
got this game the other day. It's good, the graphics aren't that great the story and the voice acting i think are pretty good. An 8 out of 10 is spot on in this case.
