I'm going to go bourne on my first playthrough, and bond on my second. How will you play?
Alpha Protocol
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released May 27, 2010
Control rogue agent Michael Thorton as he tries to unearth an international conspiracy in the near future (where everybody seems to have a hidden agenda or two) in this third-person action RPG.
How will you play
With just about every "moral-choice" style of game (i.e. Kotor or Mass Effect) I've always ended up giving in to my stupid moral sensibilities. This always ends up with me being one of the super heroic, but ever-so-boring players. This game will be my catalyst for a change. I totally intend to play it like a mad sociopath, just like the guy's mentioned on the podcast. Watch out virtual baddies, this screw-loose agent's gunnin' for you.
The combat is gonna be on par with Mass Effect, real time third person shooter like,but you can pause to cast 'spells' so to speak, mass effect was fine for me,but you gotta remember there are always number crunches going on in the background off of your current stats/skills since its an RPG so it makes it a bit different.
I'll probably go Bauer like, and eventually try every possibility on multiple playthroughs. This game looks like it has a ton of promising things about it, can't wait to hear more.
I thought the combat system was endless fun in Mass Effect, although I'm probably in the minority there. I personally hope the combat system will be like Mass Effect's. So yeah, I think this game looks awesome, and it looks real fun.
As for the 3 b's I'll work my way up from Bond.
"I think they got Bourne and Bauer mixed up.Never watched the Bourne films but I'm pretty sure Bauer is Bauer.

(Off topic but you're name is awesome)
I probably won't. Obsidian pissed me off with their failings on KOTOR II and Neverwinter Nights 2. I'm expecting a buggy, glitchy game that is simply a ripoff of other people.
Also, the fact that they are making Fallout: New Vegas just makes me feel bad for Fallout.
The first time i play these games, I usually try to play making decisions that i'd actually make in that situation. That usually results in me ending up neutral.
As far as gameplay, I probably won't go in guns blazing. To me, a spy isn't supposed to be recognized until after his mission is completed. I'll be sneaking around, using disguises and talking my way out of situations as much as possible. The only weapon i'll try to get good with is a silenced pistol. I used to play Goldeneye only using pistols and for some reason I challenge myself to beat shooters only using them.

I was gonna try that on my first playthrough. I'm going guns blazing for my second time through.
