Alpha Protocol

It's very much an obsidian game. Could have been incredible but due to not enough development time and not enough Q&A it ended up good but flawed

Yeah, someone should have asked them "Why are your games such buggy shit?" in this very short Q&A session

I have no idea why I put Q&A instead of QA

That article is dumb. Deus Ex is a brilliant game and everyone knew it the day it came out. The problems really aren't that big of a deal. Even the combat, once you sink some points into it, becomes very very good and very fun. Of course most people saw the crappy combat at first and went a different direction.

That CGW review the Joystiq article references is probably Tom Chick's, and while he is certainly entitled to his opinion, it's an outlier.

Alpha Protocol is just a piece another Obsidian example of wasted potential.
