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.

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.
