Junior Adventurer's Guild - April: Alpha Protocol

[gerey]

Don't have a screenshot of my guy, but I do have a screenshot of the mission report for the finale. Is that good enough?

[Oyster Sauce]

I'll take it, but you can just load your last save if you want to look cool

[gerey]

Here's my basic bitch protagonist.



As you can see, I made the grave mistake of picking stealth and sticking with it, which I think exacerbated most of the issues the game has.

[Nammu Archag]

Yeah, I'm throwing in the towel. I don't even want to finish this. Between the cringe characters, half-baked story, and annoying gameplay, its just not worth it for me

[Anon]

Same. I've given it the 2 extra hours of gameplay as promised. As soon as the first missions kicked in I saw that the game isn't for me and I'm past the point of my life where I bruteforce through slogs

[Vergil]

Verily, thou wast warned.

[Anon]

Don't worry @Oyster Sauce I'll play the next thing that comes. I also appreciate the effort you employ to keep the show running. And gz to all the warriors who endured through all this game, you're true spartan soldiers.

[Vergil]

True fartin soldiers lol

Looking for input on how to do the next vote. Have a lot more suggestions this time and I suspect it wouldn't be great if the winner only has 3 votes because they're so spread out.

[Vergil]

Only 1 vote that you cannot change and curate the list more.

Just did another mission in AP and had a ton of fun, don't know where you guys get the idea the game is bad.

Mostly from the gameplay, visuals, and story but outside of those superfluous things I'm sure its great

Ban from voting further everybody who voted for the winner and didn't even touch the game. Other than that I think it's alright

If you want a more serious poll you could do as Vergil suggested + poll being secret until the end

[gerey]

and curate the list more

Maybe make the games on offer based on a theme?

Only let people who finished this month vote.

[Emphyrio]

what a shame that it's a game about being a superspy and half the skills are what shoukd be the least important thing, the kind of gun you use.

obshitian was NEVER good

[rusty_shackleford]

The idea that you can make a character who isn't good with any firearms is silly. Why would they even dispatch such a person to do fieldwork?

He was assigned the job because he's a master manipulator charismatic genius (please ignore the fact that he conducts himself like a fool in 80% of the dialogue options)

Maybe your Thorton does.

[Vergil]

Has obsidian ever made a good game that was a property they created and not them making a sequel to someone else's game?

[gerey]

he's a master manipulator

He's such a pro at this that not even the player knows what he's actually going to say.

Avowed

nvm fixed it

Poll is open for May's game. I decided to limit it to 10 options this time. The top 3 games with the most votes in the previous poll were given a guaranteed spot, and the other 7 were chosen via RNG. You have 1 vote, results are hidden until May, and you're required to have at least 1 post in this thread because we had a few voters who only made an account to download a mod and never return last time. Great opportunity for lurkers to reveal themselves.

Hello I've found an error, the poll doesn't let me(the admin) see the results
I want to cheat and see them

Me too, I made the fucking thing

[WhiteShark]

As a certified superspy in real life, I exercised superb foresight and completed the game last year. Behold my Thorton:



I'm pretty sure I never used gadgets. The points in sabotage were mainly for hacking bonuses and the camera invisibility active. EDIT: Oh yeah, the remote hacking ability was cool, too.

I lamented in IRC that it hadn't been long enough for me to want to replay, so @Oyster Sauce kindly said he would accept my previous run.

100 mln usd of small arms and vehicles? thats like 3 hours of jewkranian frontline after paying up jews and jewkrianians their 70 mln usd transaction cost

[logincrash]

Will I be able to get the badge at any time I present the completion screenshots or is it time-gated?
I've finished the game like 4 times back in the day. First as a by the book professional, then as a smarmy jackass hothead, then as a 0AP rookie using the best available dialogue options, and then as a gun-ho veteran killer.
I don't even have the PC I finished the game on anymore. Would I have to rush through it to get a shiny badge or can I take my time and then report in?

There's no end date for badge collection. Any game that's come up in AG or JAG is fair game at any point.
