How's this game /v/? Is it worth 3,74 Gabenbucks?

I've heard that it's incredibly buggy and the combat is shit, but the character interactions and consequences are good.

You may have many choices but the story still sucks anyway.
muh evil corporate

It's the game that pulls ME3 aside for being a loud little faggot and says "no, like this".
>>

Yeah, buy it for that much. It's got really good roleplaying with a lot of choices that can change the outcome - for real this time. Sometimes shit like deciding which mission to do first can change future events in the story. Combat is kinda ass, but you'll get used to it.
If you want to be OP, pick the Pistol, Stealth, and Melee skills.

>>321196886
it has problems, but if you can push through the problems its a very solid roleplaying game.
>>
>>321196886
What you heard is correct. You also have to change FoV with .ini tweaks because the default is far too low for PC. Great dialogue choices make up for the flaws though.

Good story, great characters, meaningfull choices and passable gameplay. It's worth this price just for the replayability value.
>>
>>321196886
For those moneys, you'll have a great time, and will prtobably want to play it multiple times. Don't expect well-polished gameplay though
>>
>>321196886
An actual RPG/TPS, not just a TPS with RPG elements in it.
>>
It's Rpg elements are 10 times better than Mass Effect and Fallout 4. But it's extremely unpolished.
>>
>>321196886
pretty good, level stealth and pistols on your first run.

be warned that it's buggy for some people but I've yet to see a game do anywhere near it's level of reactivity in terms of following up on your decisions.

It's excellent. It's a bit janky but the roleplaying possibilities are excellent and the dialogue is great.

you can only get his boss battle if you really tweak him off too.

Alpha Protocol is lovely.

The game feels pretty shitty all throughout the initial Afghan stage, but it rounds out afterwards. It's literally worth like 5 bucks, so you're getting off easy.

There might be an escort mission in your future, though. It's pretty shitty.

This. But I don't think you really need melee if you have stealth and pistols, because stealth takedowns are the same regardless of your melee. Technical Aptitude gives some really good passive abilities.
>>
Good implementation of player choice, absolute dogshit gameplay. Play it on easy, max stealth and pistols so the shitty parts are over quickly and just enjoy the story.

This. Alpha Protocol was my GOTY for 2010.
