      i enjoyed it by going super pistol man
      i did hear every other gun type was trash though

        thats because the pistol is by far the strongest and the best way to ignore the combat. Just use the pistol special ability to headshot the boss 5 times in a second and move on with the game. The other guns deal less damage and dont feel satisfying to use. CQC is fun but some bosses really favor range over everything else (I think theboss you fight when you return to AP in the forest is the worst).

        Every weapon type gets good after you level them up. Pistol is just the one that let's you freeze time and kill 6 people simultaneously.

    it did a poor job of marketing itself and a poorer job of letting the player know that there was actual differences between different choices.
    a lot of people did one playthrough and dropped it.

    not to mention the PC port was factually unplayable at launch.

      The players were just moronic because they recently came from Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 3

        Mass Effect 2 was the one that came out in the year Alpha Protocol came out. And Dragon Age Origins came out prior.

        And it was meant to come out in 2009 but got pushed back 6 months, so I ended up trying Origins in spite of it's terrible 'New Shit' marketing.

    It had better choices/consequences and roleplay aspects than Cybercuck and BG3. The gameplay was bland though. Had it received help from a bigger studio and it was polished, it would've been remembered better

      I'd say bloodlines killed troika, it was much more expensive to make, I feel like if they kept making isometric games like arcanum they would've lasted a few more years (not long though)

        Arcanum ended up in the bargain bin, not really what youre hoping for when you are the creators of fallout. Temple of elemental evil was just pure D&D autism. Bloodlines had the biggest chance to be a hit since it had actual graphics, and was first/third person instead of isometric RPG grognard. The triple whammy of activision preventing them from working on it till the end, a shared release date with halflife 2, and the combat once again sucking dick killed it.
        Also, they were still willing to continue after bloodlines, but nobody was willing to take them on again when they were shopping around their ideas. Thats when they pulled the plug on the studio.

        >Tim wants to patch Arcanum with some QOL/compatibility for modern OS
        >Current publisher for that release doesn't want to bother with it

        publishers holding dead IPs they dont care about hostage is just infuriating. They're never going to do anything with it since they consider it unviable. But they're also unwilling to either just sell it to someone or extend a licence. They turn down the only way its going to make money for them, because they want to keep it around so it can somehow make money doing nothing

          Tim owns the Arcanum IP these days, so he's at least free to make another game in that unvierse if he so desired, it's just that specific PC release he doesn't have the licensing rights for.

        I know the guys at Beamdog, who did the Enhanced Editions for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, and Planescape Torment, floated the idea of doing a similar remaster of Arcanum. I think it was pointed out that since Activision owns it now it's unlikely to ever happen, plus Beamdog has only ever handled Infinity Engine games so who knows how they would do with Arcanum. Either way, it would be nice to see that happen.

    Seriously why are there NO espionage or secret agent games besides this one? Splinter Cell never really fit the bill (as you're more of a spook) and MGS went way beyond the scope of any 007 type movie. This game was most certainly flawed but it stuck to landing at what it was going for.

      Hitman devs are making a 007 movie with a OC as Bond, considering Hitman has been the closest thing to a actual bond game, it may be great.
      Too bad it has been almost 4 years now since they announced and we still got absolutely nothing.

      At the moment it's because the spy genre isn't really huge anymore like it was years ago. Sawyer talked briefly about how he's wanted to make another spy game but debated whether it would have any success at all because Gen X was the last gen to really be infatuated with spies.

      Best part about rome is if you save the girl instead of the people, you hear something different during the radio broadcasts that play during hte credits. The girl goes into politics and stops the increased security spending. Meanwhile, if you save the group of people at the exhibition, the ending radio mentions that the roman government just spent a ton of money on security.

      Not just the dialogue options, emails use the same system and every choice is a perk + and -

      Like piss off your handler Mina enough that she hates you and your cooldowns for abilities is way quicker.

      One of the dev team spoke about how the choices and outcomes was a 'hentai-tentacle' like mass.

    I don't care how good the story is, I will not praise an RPG with a timed four-choice dialogue system that doesn't tell you what you're actually saying. The lockpicking and hacking minigames drop it another full point, too.

        This, and also the reason why NV felt a bit rush is because Obsidian team had to work on 3 different projects at the same time.
        One of them was a cancelled Alien game.

        I can't believe they managed to do it despite Bethesda gave them 18 months to develop NV.
