HA! I had thought this was regarding Alpha Protocol's subtitles having zero punctuation, i.e. "Why dont you give up dont make me kill you who do you think you are anyway"

Naw, they do, I just thought that you were sharing a link about how the game was flawed and didn't punctuate their subtitles.

Is there really a scene where you take off your pants and slap your ass?

Also, I like Zero Punctuation. He makes video reviews of videogames without showing any footage of them at all, not even screenshots. Cool guy!

Their not meant to be taken seriously or anything, he's doing it for humour. He even said 'lets skip over the positives really quickly' in this one, so he can get to the funny bits where he complains.

Having said that, he brings up a good point that there are a few times where this game paves you into a corner where you NEED to fight your way out of a situation. If you focused on stealth and tech or something, then you'll find it really hard. They should have made each skill equally useful by allowing you to sneak away or hack security to save you or something.

As he said though, the dialogue and consequences are really staggering and impressive.

I haven't watched Yahtzee's reviews in a couple of months, so I'm glad to see that they're still as awesome as ever. ^__^ You can hate his Alpha Protocol review if you want, but the game didn't attain very good reception with "real" reviewers either, so eh.

I more enjoyed seeing him tear Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction to shreds. <3

I brought that up in my review, I was a fucking tank, then I was forced to do a stealth mission. Well, it sucked. I got through it though, by getting stealth armor, but it was not very easy, compared to having  Stealth abilities unlocked.

Where did they force you to use stealth? I always used it by default, so didn't notice. Was it the CIA listening room in Rome?

True not required actually and it was that one. But if you kill them, the Asian girl hates you. How you going to get your fuck on?

Tranquilizer rounds? Are they only for pistols though? Are there any other non-lethal weapons?
