The only thing bad about this game is the morons who read reviews and didn't buy the game because of it. Now there won't be a sequel that I'm so hoping might happen one day. I would like to see how Sega/Obisidian could have improved upon the sequel.
That's why the reviews exists. If you find someone's reviews to be accurate of what you feel in general it only makes sense to trust to those, at least to some extent. And if those reviews claims the game to be terrible then it surely makes sense to not buy that game. Have done so many times, and in several cases after I loaned the game (or played it in my friend's apartment) I have noticed that the decision was good one.
Of course everybody should consider carefully when trusting to reviews, as many times when I have bought a game with generally good score from different reviews I have been disappointed. So I only trust to few specific sites and persons in this matter.
And I find it hilarious most of the complaints come from the PC version. I mean, if you're entirely devoted to the PC version, then find someone to mod the game to fix your complaints. It's not like they'll come beating down your door saying you are being sued for fixing the bugs they didn't.
No, the developers probably wouldn't mind that, but it's not as easy to mod modern games unless you are very handy with coding, especially if the game doesn't have any modding tools available. Definitely not easy task. So just trusting that someone will make unofficial patches to modern games is not a good option.
Want to know why they didn't look into it? Lack of money from people buying it and Elder Scrolls 6. They might actually lose money if they invested time into fixing the game. Usually, any game that's fixed is a game many people bought. More money, more incentive, less risk.
How does Elder Scrolls 6 have anything to do with this? TES 5: Skyrim isn't even out yet, not speaking of TES 6, and the developers ain't the same, not even closely.
Besides, the developers of AP have been patching the game, though I'm unsure how active that patching has been lately. Otherwise, what you say about not concentrating to games that haven't been profitable, is true. Though I wonder if AP falls to that category, as I imagine it has sold rather well.
Mini-game pissed you off? LMAO!!! How entirely easy it was after a moments of playing the game. I mean, you can't just do something you've never done and get it right the first time. You're going to make a mistake. Getting pissed that you're not that good at Sabotage means you probably should make that a selected skill next time. <snip>
Just curious, have you played AP in PC? While the lockpicking and rerouting was easy enough with keyboard and mouse the hacking minigame was quite pain due the inaccuracy of the mouse, as I mentioned in my
review. And in general the mouse was quite wonky in AP, like chaotic turning and so on.
Great game, too bad morons who read bad reviews ruined chances of Sega/Obsidian fixing the game and/or making a sequel. As they really wanted to.
I agree with the great game part, though I wouldn't say there would no be AP2 in future. And I definitely wouldn't blame the reviews and readers for mistakes made by developers. Better it be that the reviews are accurate enough than terrible game (which AP definitely wasn't) getting full scores just because it's from certain developers or belongs to certain game series.
Many players, I included, try to avoid walkthroughts while playing the game first time, though to those who doesn't the guides may come handy in the dialogue problem. Still I don't see that problem so bad that it would require reading beforehand how the dialogues go just to avoid those few times when the problem occurs.

Yup, just like I get mad when I heard the game is published by EA, those filthy little *PEEP*...
