For a newcomer would you recommend the smaller maps so that I can grow accustomed to it? That sounds rather appealing anyway. From the sounds of it this game seems unlike anything I've ever played before, which is kind of what I'm aiming for in a game (I've found myself getting bored of just playing the same old stuff constantly).

GalCiv II first game of the entire sale that has actually made me excited to buy it.

They're completely different games. One is a space sim (X3), one is a 4X game like Civ V (GalCiv II).
Yeah, definitely start small, but give yourself a decent number of habitable planets to work with. I'd start with a tiny map with plenty of habitable planets and star systems to visit, and just make the AI really stupid so you can figure out how the game works.
Last time I post this
Gal civ 2 appreciation thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457263
The story that will sell you on the game, read if you have any interest and a sense of humor: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/195920/blog/galactic-civilizations-diary-days-1-26/
I think I may be more interested in this guy's story than the game itself. I'm at the "USS You Are So Boned" part.

20% off voucher you could have gotten a few days ago by "purchasing" a free game. I even made a post about it!

So I already have Beyond Good and Evil on PS2 (bought it for cheap last year), but I know the jaggies in my screen are going to make my eyes bleed (havent played anything of it yet).
So do you reccomend to buy the PC version? Does it run well? any problem apart from the axis one? Can I use a controller?

If you're using an ATi card, make sure AA is NOT forced through the Catalyst drivers. It's a weird but seemingly common glitch. Happened to me too.

Over the last few days, GMG has free games that came with 20% off coupon codes.

It expires August 1st.

No widescreen or controller support. Get the HD port on PSN/XBLA.

I dont have a PS3 nor a 360.
Arent there any widescreen patches, like most old PC games usually have?
Exactly my point. It doesn't feel like I should be dying this much in Hard Reset but I am.
Just cleared another level; got the shotgun this time, that helps a LOT. Should have gone with that a while ago instead of going straight to both grenade upgrades.
I think GMG gives a percentage of the traded in key back to the publisher/developer.

Gotta go fast.
Thanks, GreenmanGaming!
Oh shit, Commandos 3 has trade in. Thanks, now I have $7 in credit.
Im aware, but it's a system that works because of the low userbase, the fact that there's barely a community surrounding it, a client, etc
Steam is way too big. Part of the reason steam sales work is because of doing stuff like putting 4 games you already own in a pack where you only want 1.
Trading in would obviously be good for the user but bad for the whole system. Prices change way too much, people would be able to exploit region pricing, huge etc

They might have more free games that comes with coupons in the coming days.
Jaggies are not a problem when compared to the shit framerate. The PC port has issues of its own (spotty controller support, bad camera movement when it's fixed...) and it won't let you set the game in widescreen but it's better than the PS2 version, especially for that price. If you have a PS3 or a 360, the HD port is better, but more expensive.
Can anyone help me out with this? I cannot into computer.

Go with OiF. It'll probably take you less time to get into the action than Origin. And, yes, use the 360 controller. Definitely change the buttons, though. Here's what my setup looks like for both games:
thanks, that's really helpful!

Yay... Unless apparently if you have another game set in space. Then it is redundant

I wanted to play Last Remnant this weekend, got it for $7.20 like you did. At first, it didnt like my billing info (although every website for the past decade has been fine with it). So then, I used paypal, and while its my fault, I didn't see that the emails had to match. I was going to switch them until I saw that from Paypal's end, I paid for it. On GMG's end, I haven't. So now I have an email into them, which they say may take 3-4 days to respond to.
Im about THIS close to paying $17.99 on steam for it out of frustration. Anytime I go outside Amazon or Steam to buy something, it reminds me of why I love Amazon and Steam so much.
LOL how many gifts have you gotten this sale from the 'nope can't afford' posts.
Good on you, you do great work in the Steam threads and the creation of this sale thread.
Use COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1 it will get you 20% off and is good until end of month.
Don't talk about ecoshifting like that! He is a good sir!
Ask Toma about the game, there's no way you won't get it after that

The 20% off codes I got from Green Man Gaming don't work on other people's accounts.
How come yours does? Or maybe my codes are just invalid?
Good news, everyone.
It seems there is a universal voucher they gave out. It doesn't stack with any other coupons.
20% off COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1
I assume it is 1 time code per account. Expires at the end of the month.
