The easy answer is that a) people liked other games better, and b) who cares? But as a bona fide, card-carrying, state-certified, legally designated Alpha Protocol apologist, I'd like to consider a few reasons it didn't find a wider audience among the dudes who adored Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and other highly glossy, middling fare that earned big bucks and stratospheric Metacritic scores."
The best Souls-like not made by FromSoftware, Lies of P has now sold over three million copies since its 2023 release.
To celebrate, all members of the Round8 Studio development team will be rewarded with a two-week holiday, a bonus of 10 million KRW (~£5,400 / $7,300), and a Nintendo Switch 2.
I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.
This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.

The Borderlands 4 Story trailer dropped at Borderlands 4 Fan Fest. Here’s everything we learned about the story, characters, and gameplay.
The game sucked! Did you not get the memo?
"best of" list.. lol.
As someone who recently played the game............I was pleasantly surprised.
The game had odd pc related bugs admittedly, but otherwise I found it far more enjoyable than I was told I would by practically every review out there.
Alpha Protocol is one of many reasons I don't let reviews factor into my game purchases. I had more fun with this game than some of the "elite" games of 2010.

1st: Mass Effect 2 was the best rpg/tps hybrid, 2nd: AP kinda sucked.
