Alpha Protocol enhanced rerelease on GOG

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Very unpopular opinion, but I thought the minigames were actually decent. They were reasonable simulations/approximations for the task, and the PC's skills improved the player's odds in a rational and intuitive manner without becoming an auto-win.

 

[deuxhero]

Good to see this isn't abandonware at least. Mike Sis in a Sega crossover when?

Ahhh... good old "Games for Windows Live". Recently when I played a game that requires it that game didn't save progress because GFLW is dead

So... you actually might

EDIT:
Nvm, I guess GFW is not the same as GFWL?

 

[soutaiseiriron]

dammit i played this just 4-5 months ago on the busted shitty original release

 

[Nikanuur]

Wow, heading there right now.

EDIT:

yeah its seperate, also i think most games have patches for those?
Gotta love live services, remember mmx fiasco recently?

What happened? All I know is that it needs Ubisoft's client running like EA games.

Also, AP has an online activation DRM, so if you can't find the patch you end up with a nice coaster anyways.

 

[Vulpes]

When was the last time GOG actually did anything to improve a game?

Why would GOG waste their time and resources on anything besides the basics, like making sure the game runs well on modern hardware? Any changes they made, no matter how miniscule, would be received with rabid hostility.

 

[Fedora Master]

like making sure the game runs well on modern hardware?

Yea see, Im not sure they even bother with that anymore.

 

[KafkaBot]

LMAO AT THAT PRICE

Just pirate it.

Hell, it's published by Sega. Why would you even consider paying for it?

 

[Grauken]

LMAO AT THAT PRICE

Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton.

Nice, I got it for free from GOG

 

[KafkaBot]

That price is hilarious.

It's published by Sega, so I was going to pirate it anyway, but still. Laughed quite heartily at that.

Yeah the Games for Windows thing was something they slapped on some cases but didn't mean anything as far as I remember unlike Games For Windows Live that was something that was needed to be mentioned

Imagine a world where bitorrent, Slavs, online translation, and sites to grab magnet links and .totrrent files don't exist. Do you live in the Twilight Zone or something?

If only one could find free gog pc games on google.

 

[Cryomancer]

Anyone tested it in Linux with Proton? I looked the not more sold steam version and seems like work fine > https://www.protondb.com/app/34010

But I fear that they have added a crazy launcher like Baizuo's Gate 3 launcher.

 

[Virgil Brummond]

I remember them saying "you need a controller to play this game", I said nonsense, but then I played it and the m&kb controls are awful. Of course some tryhard retards will say that this is not the case but not even Souls games are this bad on a keyboard. You'd say that the devs coded it like this on purpose but then you remember it's Obsidian.

It was fine on M&KB, not the best, but far better than many console ports from that (rather dark) era of PC gaming.

And at any rate, Alpha Protocol was more about the story and branching narrative than the gunplay or stealth.

Considering the price, it would be good to have more info on what this implies:

Compatibility with modern operating systems
Whether you’re playing on a modern rig or an older PC, the game will run smoothly on your operating system and adjust its default settings to match your hardware.

The one patch Sega released for it got rid of the DRM. https://alphaprotocol.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_1.1 A "you know what, let them pirate it" move.

 

[Harthwain]

And at any rate, Alpha Protocol was more about the story and branching narrative than the gunplay or stealth.

The skills did improve both a lot though. Doing 100% stealth actually did something in the game, by the way.

 

[Nano]

Don't just stick to guns and stealth. There's a lot of fun to be had in this game by punching everybody's shit up.

I've never played the original version. So, how is this game like? Is this like some of the 3D Bioware style games I've never played (Mass Effect) or something comepletely different gameplay wise?

Think Mass Effect meets James Bond, but with actually great roleplaying, C&C and character immersion.

Combat is janky, you will hit points that make you scream "WTF?!?", but the game itself is as gemmy as a rough gem gets regardless.
