An alleged and anonymous Obsidian developer has blasted his company's latest RPG, Alpha Protocol, barking on the internet that the game 'should've been cancelled'.
Posting in the comments section of Joystiq's Alpha Protocol review (which calls the game "a technical nightmare"), the anonymous Obsidian man - known only as 'a tired dev' - backs up the US site's negative comments
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
"technical nightmare"
Like Fallout 3 but is the best RPG I played.
Might rent Alpha Protocol to be safe :)
old. I thought it was posted a few days ago here? I swear... I picked it up as a story from HERE a few days ago.
REPORTS
ESPECIALLY with rpgs like Mass Effect doing its rounds
I kind of had a feeling this one wasn't going to be any good. I was turned off the first time I saw him crotch and move. Horrible animation.
a terrible sh*t of a game they called an RPG!!! The sad thing is that there are many games that should been delayed or cancelled to avoid bad reviews. So this is why bad games get through for the company to get a quick buck!!! Its just management and those executive types that destroy everything they don't want to listen to the regular worker. If they made this game like the great Action RPG Deus Ex, it would have been better with that great conversation system intact and it would have been a possible to get game of the year. Too Human, many other bad games especially movie games all failed due to management screwing things up.
