Two very simple reasons why people don’t remember it.
1. Gameplay-wise it never comes together, to put it nicely.
2. It was delisted from all stores for half a decade.
It wasn’t overlooked, the game was released in a terrible state and the resulting reviews kept people away. Under all that mess was a interesting game but by the time it was in a playable state interst had faded.
I love Alpha Protocol. It’s a janky mess of a game, but I love it all the same.
Alpha Protocol is a phenomenal idea poorly executed (by Obsidian’s own admission). The scope was too great, the timeline too short, and the tech too unfamiliar to the team. Add to it the fact that FNV is an entry in one of the most important franchises in gaming history and AP was trying to launch a new IP and it makes sense why they’re not talked about to the same degree
WAIT WHAT?? they release these two enormous game the same year??? wow I never knew! AP is still one of my favorite spy/narrative game where choices really do matter. Sure it’s clunky gameplay but I love using a pistol, put a scope on it and basically become a sniper with an handgun. Also the evil playthrough is SO. MUCH. FUN.
I loved alpha protocol.
I’d kill for it to be Backwards compatible
Alpha protocol was great on console at least. It’s on Gog right now again the just fixed a bunch of stuff and made it compatible with modern operating systems. I’m waiting for it to go on sale. I’m on Linux apparently getting to work on the OS I use isn’t an issue.
I definitely enjoyed it, and if it had been in released in a better state, it would have been a masterpiece. It was like Deus Ex mixed with Mass Effect, and it was almost as fun as it sounded. Too bad that by the time I reached the final mission the game had become so unstable it was practically falling apart at the seams and begging for the sweet embrace of death.
The whole game was also funny as hell. Some of the news report sequences had my laughing my ass off.
Great game. I’d love to see a sequel.
