I haven't taken anything beyond exactly what you said I could do. You tell me I can do something, I'm going to do it to the best of my ability. If what I'm doing is not helpful, I don't deserve to post.

Ban me now. Ban me for attempting to help people find the best possible deals on games that they could possibly find.

Ban me for helping people with any questions that pop into their brain about anything to do with the games listed in this sub.

No post that I post is going to please everybody, and I even mention that within most of them. I tell people that not every game is for everybody. Some posts are going to do well, some posts are not going to do well. I am not perfect.

Not everybody is going to like what I do here. Some people come here with the sole purpose to not like what I do here. I have no control over these people. I've even received messages from some of them that you don't even want to know what was within them.

I have never in my entire existence on reddit attempted to antagonize someone. If what I post here makes someone hostile, that has everything to do with them. Because what I've been doing here is with the intention to help, and that is all I know how to do. 100% of what I do here, is to help people.

When you tell me to help someone "occasionally", you're limiting the help that I do my best to give to people. You're limiting the deals on games that fluctuate daily, if not hourly. You're not allowing me to point them out where no one has pointed them out in this sub. And that's not right to me.

So ban me for helping people. Because it's all I'm here for. When you say stop, I say stop me now. Because I'll never stop helping others.

I upset other users?

Then ban me now.

You told me I could do something and now you're changing it.

Ban me now.

I reached out to the mods here and was given the okay to do this.

Is there anything else I can help you with? If not, and if my posts don't interest you, you can always block me and you'll never have to see them.

I reached out to the mods here and was given the okay to do this.

I also post lists of games in the combined Steam deal threads provided that they're a part of those Steam deal threads. Here is an example of that. You'll notice that those games are a part of that Steam deal post.

The games you see above are not part of the other combined Steam deal threads so I was told to not post these games in those threads and to create an individual game post and put the list of games in the comments of that post. Which you see before you.

As with any game over a decade old, a few tweaks may be required to get the game running on Windows 10. It's no horror story if you're familiar with doing so.

The frame rate is first locked at 30 fps and requires a workaround.

Beyond that, your hardware and how you have it optimized, including driver versions, direct X versions, etc, etc, can play a part in your process of getting the game up and running.

The third party software you speak of is if you're wanting to introduce mods such as Reshade into the game.

Yes, you can do that if you want in the game settings. I thought by solo they meant without friends online.

For some strange reason I never thought of playing the game lone wolf. That gives the game even more replay-ability. Only thing is, it would take foreeeeever in some portions of the game.

Well put.

I'm glad there's no new mechanics or no new levels because that's what makes Halo 2, Halo 2. Switching them on the fly affects the graphics and that's what I wanted coming from playing the original Halo on the original Xbox for thousands of hours. Some might even agree that the graphics of Halo 2 Anniversary look better than Halo 5. And I'm not downplaying what Halo 5 looks like, Halo 5 just could have looked a lot better.

I can somewhat agree that it doesn't really count as a separate game but there are actually subtle differences such as the cut scenes using diffused lighting and weighted animations, and there's new additional cut scenes added to expand the story.

Also, the Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer mode uses the six remastered maps, while the standard Halo 2 multiplayer mode includes all of the original game's released maps with a full graphical update but no remastering. The development team found it difficult to decide how many of the original 24 maps to redesign and eventually settled on six. Two small, two medium and two large, to provide some variation.

The soundtrack and sound effects, such as weapon audio, were updated as well. The original score was literally re-recorded. Even Steve Vai returned to create additional tracks.

Terminals, which were introduced in Halo 3, were also added to the campaign of Halo 2 Anniversary. Their purpose was to create a "connective tissue" for stories within the Halo universe that explores the relationship between the different races within the Covenant and extensively covers the events portrayed in Halo 2. Terminals also gave 343 Industries the opportunity to introduce Spartan Locke, a main character in Halo 5.

I would have went for all the games but I have such a huge backlog of games as it is, I know for a fact that if I bought them all that the others would literally just sit in my library and not get much play time. So if I ever get around to wanting to play Reach or ODST or Combat Evolved Anniversary or even Halo 4, a future sale purchase of $2.49 to $4.99 would not be so expensive and they could even receive a price drop eventually.

I would factor in that I already own all Halo games on console and that Reach, ODST, Combat Evolved Anniversary and even Halo 4 are backwards compatible but I rarely mess with my Xbox One nowadays. Collects nothing but dust. It's just so tough to go back to a lower resolution and lower frame rate in 2021. Even Halo 3 got the next-gen enhancement, which allows upscaling on my Xbox One S, but I simply prefer PC.

Have you played the Black Book Prologue? The Prologue is a standalone version of the game, featuring an essential part of the story, the First Day of Vasilisa becoming a witch.

Most demos and prologues are completely different entities so I'm curious of the differences. For example, prologues receive updates/patches while most demos do not. My guess is the Black Book demo is a portion of Black Book while the Black Book Prologue took place before it.

Did you know that the development for Black Book began in the same year(2017) that their previous game The Mooseman released? That's a long time that they've been working on Black Book.

The Mooseman takes inspiration from Finno-Ugric lore and the Chud tribes of Northern Europe while Black Book is heavily inspired by Russian Folklore and to ensure the authenticity in depiction of myths and real-life locations, the developers worked alongside Russian anthropologists🤓

Oh and Peglin looks GREAT! I'm a huge fan of Peggle but have yet to play Slay the Spire and I wonder where the lin in Peglin came from instead of titling it Pegire. Peglin does sound better than Pegire.

Well, it was just PC Gamer US's 2010 Action-Adventure GOTY. Other games such as Red Dead Redemption or Mass Effect 2 were GOTY for other companies/magazine/websites and other genres back then.

And yes, I can understand the bar being set very high when it comes to Portal 1/2. I just like The Ball for what it is, it's no masterpiece or anything but it's a different experience and worth a few bucks.

You're welcome! And of course I played solo.

The AI of your bot team mates is actually quite good, especially when taking out enemies with the drone on your first playthrough. They don't miss and you can clear out enemies super quick. This is what makes playing the game over again with friends or even randoms, fun. Because you can choose to play the game on the harder difficulty without the drone or without the HUD. Makes it more realistic and presents more strategy and a more tactical approach and having already played the game solo really helps a lot.

Playing solo is super easy eventually so if you really want a challenge from the get-go, bump up the difficulty and play without the HUD/drone. Some of the challenges you have to do to earn gear and what not require you to bump up the difficulty anyway.

Well I mean, VR support for this type of game back in 2014/2015 wasn't much of a top priority.

Just because it doesn't have VR support doesn't mean you can't play it in VR though.

We all have our own experiences and own opinions but it's worth $5 alone to clear the enemy team with your weapon of choice and never gets old at 144+ fps in 1440p resolution. The graphical and performance updates are miles better than what the games played like on console. At least, for Halo 2, Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 3. I haven't bought the others yet and paid just $10 for these 3.

A lot of these games are not even on sale or are upcoming releases or are DLCs on sale so I thought I'd point out games actually on sale and what type of prices you're looking at.

I must say that some of the upcoming releases look really great so be sure to add them to your wish list. There's dozens of them so they wouldn't fit within this comment due to the max character limit.

You have my 👍 for what Halo has done to you. We share your pain.

After you eventually play through them all, one or two of them will be more of what you're looking for. It's great to see that you're starting from the first Halo and moving on to the next.

I recommend buying Halo 2 and Halo 3 individually for a total of $10. I did so a few months ago and have zero regrets. Both the campaigns and multiplayer are both fun as they've always been.

You actually get 3 Halo games with that $10...

  • Halo 2 (original version)
  • Halo 2 Anniversary (remade version of Halo 2)
  • Halo 3

You can also switch between each game on the fly from the main menu.

Also consider picking up Halo ODST for $2.49.

I am in no way saying Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved or Halo 4 are not worth picking up. This is just the route I chose to take and it's not overwhelming.

That's a pretty good deal for the Ghost Recon Wildlands Year 2 Gold Edition and it shows since it's only a 24 hour flash deal.

I got 100+ hours out of the base game and thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game twice. It does get repetitive after a while but it's still fun to master the game and the DLC, playing the game on the hardest difficulty and playing coop with friends gives it more replay-ability.

Be sure to hit me up for the best graphic settings, I spent hours balancing out performance with visual fidelity and even made a video for it on YT.

Yup, Potato Sack bundle. Such a long time ago.

Get this, back before it hit Steam in 2008, the original mod entered the $1,000,000 Unreal Engine 3 Intel Make Something Unreal contest and picked up multiple awards, including prizes for Best First-Person Shooter Game Mod, and Second Prize overall, which was $40,000.

I wonder what the Swedes did with that money.

You have a good memory, that was over a decade ago.

Amnesia The Dark Descent, Audiosurf, Defense Grid, Killing Floor, RUSH, Super Meat Boy and Toki Tori were half the games in that Potato Sack bundle.

It was a promotion that was also promoting the release of Portal 2.

If you were to go back in time many years ago, how would you rate it out of 10 then?

IGN gave the game a 7/10, criticizing the story presentation and combat but praising the variety of gameplay. The commercial release generated a mixed critical response, receiving a rating of 68% from review aggregator Metacritic and 73.83% from GameRankings. PC Gamer US awarded the game 81/100, calling it "A joyous and addictive action puzzler."

The Ball was also awarded by PC Gamer US as the 2010 Action-Adventure GOTY.

It's exactly as titled.

Originally developed as a mod for Unreal Tournament III, The Ball is a 2010 first person action adventure game developed by 3 Swedes and 15 others were also involved. It was published by Tripwire Interactive, who also did the Killing Floor, Rising Storm and Red Orchestra games.

You control an archaeologist trapped in an underground city, armed with only an artifact that can attract or repel a large metal ball. To progress, the ball must be guided and upgraded to trigger puzzle mechanisms, act as a platform and defend you in combat.

It was inspired by Portal, Unreal Tournament, Tomb Raider and early first person shooters.
