>Not fucking all four girls like a chad
It's super easy to get enough reputation with all four girls in order to fuck em, but Sis isn't an option. For Madison, you have to make her be your handler during Marburg's villa in order to romance her and for SIE, you have to make her be your handler during the final mission[/spolier]
Spy is pretty good but don't expect the stealth systems to be any good man. It's shit.
Professional is generally good but it's a good idea to choose the left option depending on the NPC in question (like Heck).
Joining then betraying is pretty kino desu

i didn't want mina to be mad with me

How will obsidians new game be it kinda looked shit compared to this.

One of the things I loved about the game is how you get perks if your handler really likes you or really hates you, but not if they're on the fence with you

My most kino moment is meeting that CIA agent in that laundry mat feeding a guy tied up to a chair and picking all the aggressive options, getting him as a handler, him setting up a fucking machine gun train driveby in Korea, me getting irked at him for doing that, then picking him to raid the agency you start at.

Also I never got laid even though I tried.
Bros before hoes.

That's even worse

Too good for this world. Needed some more polish to get past the Obsidian jank but otherwise your choices unironically matter more than most RPGs this generation.

>get voiced protagonist choices right
No, actually, it's not. There were times where I had to close the game and replay the scene because the option I chose was extremely cringy or horrible when I thought it wouldn't be.
For instance, at the end of the Moscow Warehouse mission, when talking to SIE and choosing the cooperative option, I thought he'd say something like, "I'd like to work with you again", but instead, he just says something ridiculously cringy and loses reputation with both SIE and Mina. Very annoying.

Now that the dust has settled, who was the superior girl?

I started this game and began the mission where you have to infiltrate that dune coon base. The combat was just so god awful I didn't want to continue. Are all future missions this combat heavy? I'll play it to completion happily if they aren't.

sis > SIE >>>>> everyone else

>superior girl
Scarlet, any time of the week. Mina had too much of a chink face, but it was obvious she was the main romance interest.

Why was Heck so based and redpilled? He even got Wen busted for trying to assassinate the President of Taiwan. That dirty dog, Wen, always getting into bad stuff.

If you want to skip combat dump all points into stealth and handguns. However don't complain if the bossfights become super easy.

I never talked with sis that much, what order should I do the levels? Thinking of replaying.

Sister or russian all good
>glass him
HOW WAS I MEANT TO KNOW

Sis > Sie > Anyone else.

Heck is the Cassandra of the game, you think he's crazy but he's also the only one who sees the truth and is the only one to correctly guess the Taiwan situation.

Heck was that CIA laundry mat guy. He is the avatar of chad.

youtube.com/watch?v=0qSPTnozsfU

Everything he says is actually true too, project acoustic kitty, the head getting whacked off by a soccor ball, ect. It was making use of the trope where something sounds outlandlish and bullshitty, but it is actually 100% proven fact.

Would've been awesome if Sis was romanceable, but unfortunately, she was not.
It wouldn't surprise me if Heck was an outlet for the devs to rant, unless they wanted to make fun of "conspiracy theorists"
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=198502536
I used this in my first playthrough and it was pretty good desu
>dumping all in stealth and pistols
I did this but I wish the stealth in the game had actually been better along with the gameplay. It's so bad compared to other games like Thief (OG)

Alpha Protocol would be remembered as one of the GOAT if the combat wasn't so fucking awful that it alone made one of the most replayable games ever made absolutely unplayable.

Attached: 1372120383097.gif (264x320, 929K)

At max stealth you literally turn invisible for like a minute, it's there for people who just want to skip the gameplay.

Mike Thornton's voice acting was so bad it was funny. He sounded like some nasally janitor they just had in the building and forced to record some lines and he put no effort into any of them. It's great.

Stealth + Martial Arts + enough points to get Brilliance is the most fun I had in the game. It's nothing short of amazing to go around beating the crap out of everyone while invisible and then using Brilliance to regain your skills again.

Unfortuantely, the combat is utter shit and you will be forced to suffer it for most of the game. There are mandatory boss fights that throw out stealth, and anytime you fail at stealth, which is utter shit, you fail and have to fight.
The cooldown for the ability is ridiculously long, however it was extremely useful, like in the Taipei Warehouse.

Unfortunately there's a lot of combat, which sucks because I'd love to see a spy RPG where there are missions where you're just roaming around big city hubs, with something like a luxury hotel being the main location for your actual espionage.

seethe

is not really that shitty, the thing is that basic stuff like aiming is gated by skill points so it feels clunky and crap but when you dump your points you ends like an aimbot

Btw, the boss fights were ridiculously easy to cheese endgame. Just roll with pistols, get chainshot to master, and aim all six at the boss. Guaranteed easy kill

That's not exactly true. The assault rifle handles like shit when you get it to the max possible level without specializing in it. I wouldn't know if it still handles badly at master level.

As far as I know, Obsidian holds the rights, and even if they let someone else do it, are there any companies you know of that would actually do it justice?

being a chad has strange karma

Yeah, having the VCI show up and bomb the place was insane, yet very entertaining.

yeah, the assault rifle is complete shit. no excusing the game there. but if you focus in pistol or martial arts, it's passable

Nope.
Goddammit, why did this game turn out this way?

Pistol is incredible, especially with silencer at master level along with chain shot. Martial arts was also fun, although I didn't go with specializing it.
No idea man, but Obsidian has a history of make flawed diamonds. Maybe one day we'll get a worthy sequel or something similar.

>There were times where I had to close the game and replay the scene because the option I chose was extremely cringy or horrible when I thought it wouldn't be.
I remember that scene. Mostly because it was EVERY FUCKING SCENE AND CONVERSATION IN THE ENTIRE GAME.
Obsidian came so close to having a good game with interesting choice and consequence, only to fall down in the most idiotic way possible. You can't make a meaningful choice when you literally don't know what any of your options mean. A fix that simply replaced the "Professional/Smug/Enigmatic/Homosexual" options with what you were actually going to say would instantly turn it into a good game, but instead it's just aggravating to play.

Sega owns the rights to the game

I forget how that scene even went. 8 years dulls the memory. I just remember not really being sure if that was the guy I was supposed to meet and somehow getting my intel with benign conversation.

I didn't even realize how much of a bitch the second-to-last boss fight was until I replayed as an assault-rifle loving commando type.

You can actually Piss off Marburg into staying at the Museum, allowing you to kill him in Rome. I believe you have to have him at a really low reputation for it though.
NP user, it's fun to see other avenues of the game without suffering the game's combat. Finding good videos is actually difficult though.
He really fit Marburg's character. Nice to see that Winne the Pooh makes for a really good corporate spy when he needs to.

He goes on about how he doesn't like mountains.
Then you can either bullshit him some other way or you can kill him.

Yeah, pistols is the boss picker.

That would the 1st Marburg encounter in rome.

Also there is one mission you unlock if you act chummy with that Halberch dude and he gives you an option of picking between 2 different intels. If you ghost that mission too he never pulls that shit and you can just nab both of the intels.

The option where you get to jew G22 was hilarious. I like based Albatross, but bugging his server was great.

You're not playing it right user. Reroll for a pistol build next time and you'll win every time.

Took me 3 playtroughs to know about that

Based Marburg handling the morning after pill duty.

Also, finding out she was Parker's daughter, telling him Marburg killed her and watching him drop his pragmatic ideals and shoot Marburg in the back at the end was kino.

I wanted a situation when you tell both what happened and both try to kill each other

It was pretty kino man, but then based Marburg makes a comeback and stabs Parker in the neck with a pen.
Well, they still end up killing each other anyways, just not exactly like that.

Actually Parker doesn't kill Marburg, he only wounds him.

Just pick all the top options during conversation and you're solid. Unless the bottom option lets you banish thots.

Don't let the thot stray you from the path of chadhood.

Fucking them leaves less time to banish thots.

There's only five thots to banish and you can fuck four of them. It's not hard man and you have plenty of time to do it. The game even rewards you for fucking all four.

Holy shit, these are like all the bad options to take.

Got this game recently and it was surprisingly good although it felt short. The only thing dampening it was the animations and graphics.

You can tell Obsidian had a small budget to work with and chose to focus on the narrative aspect. It's a shame though. With the right amount of polish it could've been something really special. Would've liked to see a sequel where Obsidian improved upon the first, but that's unlikely given Microsoft has bought them out.

SIE was such a fucking unapologetic trope character and I loved it. The fact that you basically have to get her to rape you without the player initiating is a little disappointing but still genuinely hot.

Thats the aggressive top chad option.

Yeah. You only get to meet her if you choose moscow as your first mission. I made sure to hook up with her on the second playthrough.

I recall reading something about the game initially being planned as a traditional RPG but that Obsidian was forced to make it more action focused. Imagine if it had been planned from the beginning as a proper stealth shooter with the social system and branching story on top. Surely someone must recognize that it's failings owed to being a strange blend of shooter and cRPG and being loaded with bugs and that the branching story and dialogue it is known for is worth attempting again.

Yeah, it is a hidden gem if there ever was one.

Reminds me of the days when my dad would come back home with budget games randomly. Good times.

Honestly, this stealth/RPG hybrid deserves a second chance. Alpha protocol overall deserves a second chance.

>Convince scientist dude to turn on Marburg due to his daughter
>Bit of an idiot so don't hit either of the optional areas for Mina/Scarlet

I honestly could hardly believe that that was the ending, after a good laugh I looked it up and realize what I did wrong. Loaded up an earlier save and bailed out both girls after having a chat with Bromen Deng. Felt more climactic that way.

What I hate about this game so far is that all the enemies spin around when I sneak up near them.

The game explicitly discloses that there is a stealth rating. Stop trying to sneak in combat armor.
