A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

AP is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with amazing mechanics, your choices really matter and the dialogues are amazing. But at the same time the mechanics are janky AF, some skills are bonkers and the graphics are mediocre even for the era.
A must play in my book!
I thought it reviewed badly? Or is it one of those games that bombs on release and then it grows on people?
It reviewed badly, but there's actually a gem of a game hiding in there. A lot of the gameplay feels clunky, but the RPG aspects are really well done (it's Obsidian, they're kind of good at that). It's a spy game that lets you decide whether you're James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Jack Bauer, and really respects those choices in the way the story plays out.
I gave it a shot because Bioware, but I didn't stick with it because dialog choices are timed. I can see why, I think, but I was being picky and put it down for the moment.
It wasn't by bioware though, it was obsidian, the guys who did New Vegas.

Quite right.
