yeah loving the game, i actually LEVELED the stealth and its so awesome, im level 11, the enemies dont hear me now , i can silently kill all of them, i have permanent markers indicanting where they are etc etc, and im nowhere near the full stealth bar, i can level so much more there, coupled with the nice story , and dialogue system, game is win, fuck the graphics (and they arent that bad)

Took me a while to fully eliminate the mouse issues. The game is 10x more fun when controls aren't in the way.
set bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
in \Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
then 2 instances of that same var in
<username>\My Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\APInput.ini
Also set in <username>\My Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\APEngine.ini
the following:
[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=1024
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=4096
[SystemSettings]
UseVsync=False
(The VSync option in the game does nothing, you have to change it manually)
And finally after all customizations set all user config files in
<username>\My Documents\Alpha Protocol\APGame\Config\
to read only.
// Edit
What this does is remove that sudden mouse speedup when your framerate drops beneath certain threshold - therefore it eliminates mouse imprecision.

MirkoOdora, what exactly does those changes do? I'm not totally in the know on what that mouse thing accomplishes. Thanks.

Ok, this is for those of you that are complaining about the gunplay (as I initially did before realising!);
THIS IS NOT A TWITCH SHOOTER! This is no more of a dedicated twitch shooter than Vampire Bloodlines or Deus Ex/System Shock 2. It is first and foremost an RPG! Shitty stats/skills = shitty accuracy/damage. If you loved Deus Ex or Bloodlines, you'll love this. If you're looking more for a Gears of Bore or Mass Effect 2 clone, this isn't for you.
Simple.

It really isn't an RPG. It is an action game with bad action.

Well, that's your opinion after what? 20 minutes of play? Epsilon and myself have been playing for hours and we very much disagree. Deus Ex had "bad action" when you were an unleveled, unskilled, noob.... you have to level up. It IS an RPG. End of story.

Which again I will restate my point about how stupid is it that you start off as an unskilled noob in an game where you are supposed to be an international super spy. As well that just because a game has RPG elements does not mean it is an RPG. MLB The Show for PS3 allows you start off as an unskilled noob and level up. It is a baseball game not an RPG. The term is bandied about far to freely by people that have never even played a real RPG.

Ahh, so just because you dislike the game and give silly reasons for doing so, that means we've never played a "real" RPG before? Awesome, way to impose your own superiority on everyone else  As for "how stupid is it.. blah blah blah" I, once again, refer you to Deus Ex. You start off as an unskilled noob when you're supposed to be a UNATCO agent, there to help keep the country safe from terrorists. I'll bet you slag off Deus Ex too next, right?
Oh and there are backgrounds for each starting "class" - so technically; no, you don't start off as an unskilled noob. The first three classes give you a SHITLOAD of points in three specialised areas, or you can choose a Freelancer and put your own points in. Each class has a back story to explain why you have those starting skills, so I'm betting you chose RECRUIT (zero skills, zero points, with a backstory stating you are FRESH out of the academy) and are now whining about the fact that you're a noob.
Seriously man, for someone who has played "real RPGz!!!11" you really should pay more attention to the options and choices you're selecting :\

The other way around, Deus Ex's GFX is timeless, unlike this crap which already feels outdated.

Yes, yes... we've covered the graphics. Nobody will deny that AP has very poor graphics for a new title -- but it's the GAMEPLAY that matters in this case.

More detailed instructions:
Run regedit.exe. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and find the SEGA Corporation folder and Obsidian folder and delete them. If your on a x64 system these folders will be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. Also, delete the SEGA Corporation folder found in C:\ProgramData. Enjoy! |
Worked! Thx a lot!

For those complaining the crack doesn't work:
It works with both versions, but if you're having problems, go and delete the C:/ProgramData/SEGA Corporation folder. Then start the game. (Be sure to block the game with your firewall, otherwise you're gonna get the problem again).

Ok, that's just funny! I think I might just hang on to this legit install for a while then, knowing my luck I'd revoke the activation and use the crack... only to find some gruesome and game-killing trigger later on >_> Besides, I'm gonna finish the 360 one first. I was initially going to swap immediately, but I'm VERY far in the 360 version.

Yeah, THAT is seriously fucking annoying. It's a tough puzzle to control on the 360, when you have to use each analogue stick, but on the PC it's downright nasty.

That is one place where you can really tell it was developed for consoles first. It's a sloppy port for those controls on the hacking. Using the keyboard works great but switching to the mouse for the second code is extremely awkward. Still, once I got used to it I didn't really have a problem anymore other than the fact that it's just annoying.
The interface is also rather clunky for the PC but still workable once you learn it.
I finished the Moscow hub earlier today and am now towards the end (I believe) of Taipei. Lots of fun, really enjoying myself. The characters are awesome.

I'm just thankful they at least let you quit a hack and restart without any penalty. Anyway, I'm really loving stealthing through a mission. I'm only on the first one but I haven't shot my pistol yet or even killed anyone.
