Lets Start A War!

Bugs are just something that are associated with Obsidian entertainment, so whenever people see any bugs at all in an Obsidian game they have a knee jerk "Here we go again..." reaction, when in reality they are blowing it out of proportion.

Obsidian kinda gets the shit end of the stick when it comes to journalistic groupthink. There are bugs, sure, but there doesn't seem to be all that many in comparison to Fallout 3 or Oblivion, a lot of them are related to DLC, Steam, and an engine that is not their own, and they are being...

What I can't make heads or tails of is that this Tim character is having such a bad go of the 360 version, and yet the game informer guy had no problems. I somehow doubt Game Informer played it on anything other than the "lead platform", which as we all know is the 360. Odd, that.

Per level? I must not be following either, because 90 extra skill points sounds pretty swell.

Wasn't there talk about a "blinged out" pipboy? Model 1 million or something absurd like that?

I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. What really burns is that he was very close to posting the perks.

@Lazlo: If I had to guess, the representation of the Legion thus far has been to set up an expectation, only to have it deconstructed in the game. Going into a game perceiving it as black and white, and having that expectation slowly turned on it's ear? Good game design as well as proper use of...

For all the flaws of Alpha Protocol (most of which I would attribute to the reviewers, not the game) it NAILED the story and character motivations.

Hmm, appears to be unavailable...

He doesn't now, but I'm fairly certain he did when he was 8. He's a physicist, isn't that a law of physics? Nerds have glasses? I might be wrong...

I've tried, but have found it almost entirely impossible to take this guy seriously. "How will we fight the aliens?" I wish we were both 8 so I could break his glasses.

While it is nice to see new environments, I've gotta ask: what in the hell is the player doing? Unless his "quest" is to check the fence row for gaps so the property owner's Bighorners don't escape, he is a bit daffy. Also, the Avellone interview doesn't seem to be loading properly for me...

Not likely. They are fanatics under the sway of a delusional leader, I wouldn't take their space exploration or "alternate plane of existence" too seriously.

Very nice work, friend! Keep it coming!
