Lulz. That was an abomination.

To fix the major issues the patch will have to be about the size of a retail game.

Well...actually...it will have to be a completely new retail game.

As soon as I finished the first mission, I returned it.The combat was plain awful. Took 4-5 bullets to kills someone, and it's one of those games where the "super agent" has to rest for a few seconds before each shot because apparently these silenced pistols have the recoil of a deagle.

I applaud whoever enjoyed this game.

branchedout5066d ago

I've actually enjoyed the game. And now they're going to fix up the small little problems it had?

That's pretty awesome. but I do fear that it's a bit too late, as the gaming community read 3 reviews and followed them blindly. Anyone who's actually picked it up and played it with an open mind has found themselves enjoying it.

There were a crap-load of issues with the game, but it was still enjoyable. Especially once you got up in levels in some of the skills. Honestly, nothing more bad-ass than either going all stealth with ridiculous pistol skills or going all tactical with ridiculous assault rifle skills and grenades up the wazoo.

skip2mylou5066d ago

i agree the game is enjoyable if people actually tried it out

Spenok5065d ago

I havent had a chance to play it yet, but its something i wouldnt mind playing. Obsidian usually has a pretty good track record.

thisguywithhair5066d ago

Beat the game twice myself. Sent it back and now they want to patch it. I have the worst timing somethimes lol.

ArchangelMike5065d ago

I was one of those had had all the will to get Alpha protocol, and then read the poor reviews. Nah... gonna get Red Dead now instead!

Hopefully most of what the game needs is in that new patch, and no dlc is needed to make it better.

BeaArthur5066d ago

It's already $40 at Gamestop new. I don't think there is a patch out there that can turn a piece of crap into a good game.

Darkfocus5066d ago

that's really it's only problem other than the graphics not being that great but I can look past that.

BeaArthur5066d ago (Edited 5066d ago )

Yeah but I've seen someone play it and the hit detection is horrid. I don't think you can get that right by patching it.

Sega sells Relic and will cut 240 jobs across UK studios

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.

The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."

Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.

just_looken39d ago

It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.

gold_drake40d ago

I hope they find new jobs in the industry soon.

Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol

SEGA’s Switch Predecessor: What Happened to the Nomad?

Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
