Bargain!

There is a promo on GoG of ubisoft older action games. The promo is the more you buy the better the discount, although only 1 game interests me here. Beyond Good and Evil never had a chance to play. Too bad that Steam has it for 5EUR, while on GoG I could by for 6USD.

 

Anyone know something about it ? I read it is good but... I don't know.

It is an excellent action-adventure game. Unfortunately, it is plagued by a very serious bug in the second half that has the potential to stop your progress cold. The only fix is a series of steps to get through it using a savegame editor.

 

Other than that one bug, it is a great game. The locales are vibrant, the characters are interesting, the voice acting is stop on, and the storyline is... well, not quite original anymore, but it was still novel when it first came out.

 

It also contains one of the most epic Outrunning The Fireball sequences in a game, and only recently have they started work on a sequel.

 

Worth a try, and the GoG version has the bonus of being DRM-free, as all GoG games are.

I can SHOW you, but you'd have to stop by in Slovenia. :(

 

You can read our reviews and AARs, it is hard to be even more specific. If I had to grind it all in three sentences, it would probably go along these lines;

 

It is a space strategy where each race uses a completely different way to travel through space and they are all well balanced. The battles are played out in real time and ships that you use are all custom designed to suit your style of play. To keep things interesting the game has a random technology tree that prevents you from taking the same route every time.

The 'inFamous' Steam - I have it too I bought it on earlier promo.

 

Why is it funny - because it is parody of games, movies, books, etc...

 

Example: A king talks with his soldier infront of a big hole.

 

-Soldier: "blah blah blah... this is Madness"

-King: " Madness? Perhaps your right"

 

Or you meet Sir Wallace (Braveheart one) and you can throw him of the cliff gaining achievemnt.

 

Plus all funny comments etc.

 

You can wear soldier mage robe firing M16 and your super power is grenade. Or be a heavy tank wearing Space Marine Armor :( Plenty of stuff...

Where is it 75% off? And why is it that funny?

 

 

My apologies, I was seriously tired at that point.

 

 

It's on Steam! Either the game itself for $2.50, or the game + DLC for $6.25.

 

And it's hilarious because A) It doesn't take itself seriously, B) pop culture refrences EVERYWHERE(Hell the second major spell you get is called Crash to Desktop...), and C) Co-op = mass deaths, either by yourself (DON'T CROSS THE STREAAAAMMMSS) or by your friend(HOW WAS THAT A GOOD IDEA!).

 

I played about 4-5 hours yesterday, and had a BLAST. :(
