Weirdly, though (and somewhat disappointingly), the character sprites will evidently be the same as those used in the Nintendo DS games

A third person shooter DotA meets TF2 meets Smash TV sounds pretty great, but XBLA instead of PC makes me a sad panda.

Hideki Kamiya doesn't like that people make Bayonetta h-doujinshi

Wow.

There's the old argument that Bayonetta's supposed to be some sort of embodiment of feminist sexuality, which is potentially undermined when the character is translated to a pornographic context. Not necessarily, of course, but I could see the argument.

Sounds plausible, but Hideki Kamiya's Japanese, isn't he?

Yeah, I don't get the intention behind that statement.  The only way he could be at all surprised by that or even take note of it is if he had been flown straight down from a monastery in Tibet and given full directorial control of an A-budget video game.

It doesn't even have anything to do with Bayonetta being a hypersexed Barbie doll with a penchant for getting naked every 5 seconds.  There's probably more porn of Klonoa than of Bayonetta out there.  Maybe he's just pissed off because there aren't enough doujins.

Alpha Protocol is out! I think this game's going to fly under the radar, get really cheap, and then be impossible to find. Partly because it is a heavily flawed game.

I just posted this on another forum:

[...] I could have swore Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape Torment were some of the best games ever made, but all bioware or obsidian seem to be capable of anymore is a bunch of cliche riddled male fantasy bullshit.  And even if you got any kind of enjoyment out of Dragon Age or Mass Effect, I don't think the same will happen here, the writing here is way worse than anything Bioware's done lately, maybe anything anyone's done lately, and it behaves like it was assembled by the crack programming team behind Ultima IX, and the voice acting makes Deus Ex look like Uncharted 2.

There are unskippable minigames that range from simple and pointless to unsolvable and the save system is some check point type thing, like it came from a 2002 console game.  All the security guards wear sunglasses indoors. On the character background selection screen, you pick what you wanna be, soldier, recruit, etc.  They all sound like comic book superhero descriptions and the freelance one has a picture of a fat kevin smith guy with a backwards baseball cap and two uzi's. I'm saying I just feel like I'm not getting any younger and don't have time for this kind of shit anymore, there's good games out there.

I had a chance to watch one of my former roommates play this, and yeah, the game has all these flaws and more. Just in the time that I watched, I witnessed
–awkward environments: no jumping or climbing over obstacles, except where the holographic icon says you can
–a counter-productive camera: it's positioned really close to the protagonist, meaning attempts to run from an encounter often led to the character running in place against a wall we couldn't see
–juvenile thematic choices: it's like they based their world and scenario design on concepts rejected from "Burn Notice" for being too cliché-ridden
–character models that plumb the depths of the Uncanny Valley: major nightmare fuel. (Those teeth!)

All that, and it's still an improvement over Deus Ex 2. I totally have to buy this.

I should elaborate. I have always preferred the flawed-but-interesting games to high-gloss, triple-A titles. Stuff like Zelda Four-Swords Adventure, Graffiti Kingdom, Psychonauts, and Chulip: these games are mistake-ridden, some of them unplayably so. I still love them and am glad I own them. I'm looking forward to including Alpha Protocol among their number.

What? Why wouldn't you prefer something that worked?

Elaborate damn your eyes!

Because those flawed games are often flawed because their eyes were too big for their plate.  They shot for the stars (or at least for something totally rad or interesting) and missed like a motherfucker, but they at least did something.

Kind of like how a cool Half-Life mod can keep us entertainined for weeks, whereas the latest Battlefield gets like six days before you've moved on?

Yeah, I'm hoping to grab it at step two in a couple of months. I actually had a pre-order out for it, but then decided to cancel that, and buy a different game (toss up between Alan Wake, Dragon Age: Origins and Final Fantasy XIII -- and Best Buy didn't have any copies of Dragon Age around, so I went with FFXIII, which I was bound to buy anyway. As for Alan Wake, well, I already have Deadly Premonition).

I hate this. I hate this so much.  :rage:

All that games I've bought in the last six months have not given me as much entertainment value as Heroes of Newerth Beta/Release did for $30. Nor the APB Beta.

I figure I need to get in on that "Restraint" thing but that might just depress me more.

And in other
Alpha Protocol
news, Sharkey wrote 1up's review. He likes it for the reasons I'm hoping I'll like it!
