Spy/Espionage games, since Alpha Protocol apparently got delayed!

[elricik]

Well that kind of sucks, I was really looking forward to the idea of a Spy RPG theme. But I guess I will have to wait another few months. In the meantime, I need to come up with games that satisfy my needs to pretend to be a spy. So Escapist, can you come up with any.

Oh by the way, I'm going to force some of you to think, I call Metal Gear series, and the Splinter Cell series. Their, they've already been mentioned, they don't need to be mentioned again.

 

[S-Unleashed]

Yeah, I can't believe I have to wait until Spring 2010 now.

That sucks.

It's all the fault of the Republicans, you know: They ordered the game delayed so they could insert more propaganda.

True facts.

One your true fact is bull crap. Twothink how good the game will be with all the bugs out.

One your true fact is bull crap.

...That is the most retarded thing I've ever seen rendered in any medium, ever.

Congratulations.
That's astounding.

No, of course it's "bull crap," it was a joke.
Good god.

Sarcasm is wasted on the masses. I thought you knew that.

Okay, so that is absolutely true, but at some point, common sense...
I mean.

I just.
GRAH!

Don't give people common sense! I rather like my entertainment!

Common sense has no place on the internet. The internet was invented for the very purpose of not having common sense.

Delays suck, but I can only ask you to look at it this way: We're talking about Obsidian here. The company has a track record of releasing unfinished and unpolished games which tends to lessen the impact of the good work they put into it. Both NWN2 and KotOR2 would have been far greater games if they got delayed for a few more months when their release date came around.

I've decided to look at the delay of Alpha Protocol as a sign that Obsidian learned their lesson and decided not to allow rushed work to ruin all the creativity they put into the game, so it's an overall gain for us and them. Also, I'm guessing they didn't want to get into a pissing contest with Modern Warfare 2 AND Dragon Age...

 

[TPiddy]

Yeah.... if there's one thing I hate about MW 2 it's that it seems to have an intimidating effect on other game studios.

Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Alpha Protocol.... several games have been pushed.

Sega sucks.

"Oooh, we're going to make hype by delaying the game till Spring and not even announcing the delay! That's genius!"

I'll do inhumane things to get Alpha Protocol.

Saboteur looks sweet, definitely getting it.
