Not sure if this is tech or random so Ill post it both places:
Got a new tent today.
I didnt buy it and it was actually yesterday, but mum got some machine that makes soft drink, but it always tastes flat. Only the orange flava is good.

Alpha Protocol. Fun and irritating all at the same time.
A nice bottle of Stefano Lubiano pinot noir, 2009 vintage.
It's a small Tasmanian vineyard with excellent wine, pretty exceptional to find it in QLD.
I would've gone the 2007 as it's the best year out of the previous decade or so (I've been told) but it was an extra $20, and I wasn't feeling like spoiling myself quite that much.

Well, let me put it this way. It's closer to being worth $50 than what I've spent $60 for on other games. Ideally, it would be a $30 title, so if you want to be patient and wait for a sale, go ahead.10 hours, 13 minutes ago The 'What Did You Buy Today' thread is it worth the 49.99? -gs
Pretty much my only complaints that don't stop this from still being an A+ title:
1) The most irritating parts of the game are the timers on hacking, lockpicking and electronic bypassing. At first it isn't bad, but it becomes really annoying in short order. I'd just EMP the whole lot of it if I didn't want the extra XP perks.
2) Once you're on a ladder, you're glued. There's no way to drop off of it. Someone can walk up, spot you and start shooting lead into your ass without fear of retribution...until you climb the rest of the way up or climb down.
3) Takedowns are awesome, but there should be more environmental ones. Like jumping off a ledge (or a ladder) to land on a guard below you, instead of sneaking off the ledge, sneaking around to his backside and doing some fancy judo shit. Room entries are pretty much the same all around. Even if you can come in through the ceiling, there's no fancy way of taking everyone out like James Bond, except one at a time, so don't expect a Boondock Saints rope-around-your-ankle massacre.
4) Guards INSTANTLY recognize your footsteps for an enemy's, even if there's like 50 different guards marching around, yet they can ignore you at ludicrously short distances in bright light. So it pretty much means that if you're a stealth gamer, you're going to spend 99% of your time crabwalking around like Gollum. The stealth element in this game should have been revisited before release. Even Thief used light levels, and if this game does too, well, then there's no indication.

Theres a CO2 canister in the back and you press a button thing and it shoots CO2 into the water, making it bubbly or something.

Also, sometimes you'll get locked on objects, or keep jogging past a ledge drop-off point while in a firefight you couldn't avoid because you got tired of crawling around and a guard heard your footsteps in the midst of 20 other guards and opened fire, or just get stuck in fisticuffs, unable to break away to dodge behind a column when the firing squad emerges. Games as old as Thief utilize shadows for cover, yet this game doesn't even seem to acknowledge it. The way upgrades work don't make sense at all. How come ammo netting takes up the same space as special gloves on an upgrade slot? Your 'information' panel takes forever to load, which sucks because you have to open it to access your map (yes, there is no minimap or quick map overlay). Savegames are regulated to checkpoints, making your save feature pretty much useless unless you want to save your story at various checkpoints throughout the game.eleven bravo wrote:

BUT!
The story is good. It would have made an A+ movie trilogy. It's really cool how you can influence story flow, but so far I'm not really sure it makes that much of a difference. Am I going off on all these wild tangents only to end up at the same place in the end like Divinity 2? Beating the game unlocks extra dialog options for a replay, so I guess I'll find out my second time through. IF I bother, and don't get sucked into Mirror's Edge instead.
I got irritated at a few points and went on a bloody rampage. It was far quicker than sneaking around, but you don't get the sneaky perks for doing that. But if you want to beat the game fast, go on ahead. Me, I'm on my third ultra-evening.
