Graviteam Games Question

[bob48]

I've been itching to try this series for a while, and both AP and APOS are on amazon for under £5 each. Is it worth getting AP or going straight for APOS?

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Go with APOS.  If you find that you do like the game, APOS is the one with all the additional campaign DLCs available.  Plus it has a more intuitive interface and better vehicle driver AI than APK.

Thanks SDR, I'll probably pull the trigger on this one today.

It can be a "pain" to get the game patched and the DLC going but it's not to bad. After Jarhead yelled at me, I sat down and went through it step by step and it worked

JD and Bob, maybe you can do an email notification with Jarhead so that he'll yell at you if you're having troubles!  :o

But seriously, even though setup and patching should be simple as running an exe, it is not.. but there are plenty of easy to follow instructions out there, and once you read them it's easy..

LoL...I did not yell at you! After I saw how frustrated you were getting, I merely suggested that you relax and take a step back... :D

yeah, thats sounds just like you!  :P

[bob48]

Well, if I was going to be yelled at by anybody, I'd rather it be JH - he knows what he's talking about.

and he has a shit ton of kick ass pans in an underground bunker

I believe you're exact words were "if you don't calm down and stop ranting, I'm going to slit your throat"...or something like that....might be paraphrasing

[Toonces]

Just to confuse the issue a bit, I believe APOS is now called Graviteam Tactics or something like that.  So if you see that, just now that it refers to APOS and the associated DLC.

As for buying it, it seems to go on sale every 2 week or so at 50% off, so if you hold out surely you'll be able to pick it up cheap from GG pretty soon.

A heads up - I managed to purchase APOS for a cool £3 from Amazon - I saw someone mention it somewhere! Thank you
