Probably coming up next week. It likely takes a while to do videos like this and the big news/dissapointments only came out a few days ago.Blue-State said:
OT: Great review, I'm considering getting this simply from this video. And the fact that it's moral choice system seems to actually work.
Edit: and the comparison to Deus Ex
Difference between a review build and a retail copy, maybe?
He kinda liked it, everyone else...hated it.

Better review than I was expecting and yes Alpha protocol is a better game then most give credit most of the "reviewers" just copied what other more popular sites had to say and I actually did understand the story line and I can say it's great.
Finally a review that doesn't rip off on this game like others.
After a full playthrough I really enjoyed and was baffled by the sheer ammount of choices and consequences that you go through the game,unlike any other I have seen before.
I could turn a blind eye to the sometimes buggy dialogue and liked the game overall.

If people like Deus Ex you should be aware that a fantastic mod came out for it a year or so ago. The Nameless Mod was in development for seven years, is fully voiced with professional production values, good game length and the same great gameplay as the original Deus Ex.
Anyone who enjoyed the original should give it a whirl:

I'm sure you have the funds to get out of this terrible excuse for a country, Yahtzee. Why are you still here?
Anyway, this review annoyed me. You rip on games like Red Dead Redemption, complaining about stuff that you clearly didn't even know you could get around. But you were generous to such an awful game like Alpha Protocol.
What gives?

Thank you for so much for pointing out confusing dialogue choices. So many times do games have choices of words that don't tell you at all what it will actually say. Heavy Rain did this as well. Often times I would be trying to play the nice guy and I click on a button thinking he'll say something nice, but ends up smacking them in the face! If you're only going to have three choices like that, just say "nice," "mean," or "neutral." Don't say "car," "face," or "bird" unless it would absolutely make sense for it to be used in that situation (such as they went off on a long paragraph and you want to hear more about the bird).
But, as always, it was entertaining.

I know, Warforger. For a couple weeks, I'd see that ad for Alpha Protocol whenever I started up a video on the Escapist. I saw that ad so many times, that line "That airliner was his first target...and we want you to kill him" has carved its place into my brain. -_- Hell, I totally expected to see an Alpha Protocol pop-up ad to appear at the start of this video.Warforger said:
