Poll: Alpha Protocol 2?

It's got an interesting premise but everyone complained that character was too flat and it was just too buggy as hell. I haven't played it yet, but I would definitely be open to a sequel if they tuned it up.

Alpha Protocol is PRIME sequel territory. It's a fucking sweet premise, but the first game missed the mark a bit. I still enjoyed it, though, because I want to see it reach its full potential. This is why sequels exist, to continue a good story or to revisit a good premise. If they give it another shot, I'm all in.

But it won't happen because it didn't sell well enough.

Sure as long as they fix one thing. The damned balance. Don't give me the freedom to make some super stealthy ninja then tell me I can't use any of my skills because I developed my character wrong for some huge forced gunfight.

This. And don't tell me that a coke-head's going to laugh off 7 slugs being shot through his eye in the space of two seconds...

There really needed to be freedom in how bosses were handled. It just did not make sense for my character to break cover and stroll out to have a fair fight or be ambushed in the most obvious way. Also, the endgame was garbage. The guy who threw six grenades at a time -- not in rapid succession -- at a time... screw that. Basically, if the game didn't turn into a Capcom arcade shooter at least once a level, I would have played more than once.

Imagine if they allowed you to walk around in plain clothes on the streets, collect info on targets, and then plan out your missions?
It would be awesome.

Go play Hitman. Its even on sale on steam right now.

Hitman didn't let you collect intel or really plan your missions. I wish I had a game I could point to that did, but if one existed I probably wouldn't be doing anything but playing it...

Not sure if I'd want a sequel though, maybe another game with the same premise. And less bugs.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. My only real issue with the game was the guns (and the fact that Thorton couln't hit the floor if he fell on it.) they just didn't feel right, and how is it he can duel-weild SMGs but not pistols?
