There's a MCC giveaway that requires posts in the thread. Also people talking about Halo.
AnimeLol, ok ok I get it. But what about anime PC games? Are those games or anime?
Yeah...Damn, thread doubled in size in less than a day. GiftBot doing good work.
One thing Battle.Net misses is ability to not download multiplayer for COD's. Yesterday I started the 150GB download. Finally I have hour or so time to play. "Download this 20GB multiplayer patch first".
Shame the thread will be the usual regulars when the giveaway endsDamn, thread doubled in size in less than a day. GiftBot doing good work.
People choosing where they want to play = bad, apparently.
Maybe that modular downloads thing Sony's pushing with PS5 will finally set developers on the right track and this will become standardized.
Maybe.
A Mortal Kombat used it, it was shit.Maybe JaseC can help me here but if I remember correctly Steam had that option open to developers for years and almost nobody used it.
If you have some elements from a pack, steam makes it cheaper, but I think you dont't get the full discount compared to buying everything using the bundle.If you buy reach separately now, does that discount the larger package if you decide to buy it later?

It was MKX that attempted to use it and yes, it was a complete shit-show.A Mortal Kombat used it, it was shit.
The Valve implementation is quite shitty too, so it would need to be heavily improved.
Is this true though? For example, DS3 bundle with dlcs costs the same even if you have the main game or one of the dlcs. I've noticed the same with a few other publishers, but can't remember them now.If you have some elements from a pack, steam makes it cheaper, but I think you dont't get the full discount compared to buying everything using the bundle.

Yeah, language options are there in the settings for games.Didn't MK used it for play while you are downloading it? I am talking about option to pick what to download. Few games on Steam are using it for various localization files for example.
COD has it already (you have a different app for SP and for MP). You just need to remember to allow Steam to download while you are playing (off by default).I hope Steam does the integrated downloads tbh, let me download SP stuff right away and MP stuff as I play it

That bundle discount does not work with every bundle, I guess that's why he's asking.
Oh, in the cases I've encountered got a discount (a Dishonored 2 bundle and a Danganronpa bundle are the ones I remember getting lately).Is this true though?

throwing our hopes and dreams away at the altar of Giftbot is a sacrifice we all must make.Maybe I'll get to experience that if I win.
But we all know I won't so.
Thanks MS!
"You need to participate more in this thread before you can enter this giveaway!" As if I never posted in any of the PC threads before. Haha.
Right now, the MCC package is not a bundle that gets cheaper once you get a game that is part of it(those bundles work by having a discount over the combined value of the items in the package and there is no discount over the total value of the games right now). But that might change once all the other games get a price, as currently only Reach has it.Oh, in the cases I've encountered got a discount (a Dishonored 2 bundle and a Danganronpa bundle are the ones I remember getting lately).
Guess there's the option of refunding the individual game and getting the bundle if you change your mind before starting to play then.
Y'know, I was against The Bureau: XCOM Declassified when it was first announced, but honestly? It's an OK cover-shooter with a really interesting story. After its torturous development, it's kinda amazing that it ended up as good as it is.
My initial hatred of its existence was reactive and embarassing. It is a good reminder (to me, at least) of the dangers of fandom.
I remember when CoD used to allow that.I hope Steam does the integrated downloads tbh, let me download SP stuff right away and MP stuff as I play it
It's like whenever any restaurant does a free promo, lines for daysDamn, thread doubled in size in less than a day. GiftBot doing good work.
I mean if you want to get your own thread to page 1, you could just do a giveaway with these strange settings.
Yeah, for sure. The squaddies need to be autonomous but also tactically significant, so that you aren't managing them every second, but when you do it makes a difference. A lot of The Bureau (and other cover-based shooters with squads) boils down to either micromanaging them so they survive, or using them as meat shields to cover you. You never feel like a team the way you should.The Bureau would be a legit good / great game if managing your allies didn't feel so useless a lot of the time. Half the challenge was in babysitting them. Well, and it probably needed a bit more variety toward the end of the game.
I feel like we've seen so many attempts at the "party members in real time" stuff that just fizzles out. Really want someone to nail it someday. They go too far into dumb weaklings or invincible NPC territories.

Exploiting the Alienware PC Gamepass giveaway is still the best. You could get 3 years of PC gamepass for free. Then use $1 if you need GPU to convert it to that.'Tis the nature of the beast, I'm afraid.
I'm wondering, how many people here took advantage of BF deals to stack up on Gamepass time?
I managed to grab a $37 XB Gold sub that I converted into 15 months of GP Ultimate.
After looking at the recent Autumn seals and how much I would be spending otherwise I've concluded that this was probably the best deal I've found in ages.
This is version 1.0.0 which signals two things: the game is now pretty much feature complete (in regards to the features I had planned to be in the full game) AND it also means today (as this version goes live on Steam Early Access) the game launches on iOS!
The plan is to keep the Steam version in Early Access until 2nd or 3rd week of January, this should also be after the various Steam sales and holidays are done.
Thanks for the info, makes sense since the other games don't have a price tag. If all of them will have the same price the pack is a good deal though (as if getting all thos Halo isn't good enough :P).Right now, the MCC package is not a bundle that gets cheaper once you get a game that is part of it(those bundles work by having a discount over the combined value of the items in the package and there is no discount over the total value of the games right now).

I really want one of these games to actually nail that balance, but it does seem like a really difficult task. Designing a good user interface is probably a big part of it. Maybe with good voice commands (or possibly something like hand signals in VR, though I think that's still a ways off), you could have a better system that doesn't require you to navigate menus to issue orders.Yeah, for sure.

The only game I can think of that did it well (and it wasn't even a shooter) is Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. It sorta pokemonified them, by making training a big factor of their effectiveness. Really smart game.
Price is gonna be 10$ for each game (and 5 for ODST). MCC is gonna stay the same price (so basically you get a "free" game by buying it all at once).Thanks for the info, makes sense since the other games don't have a price tag. If all of them will have the same price the pack is a good deal though (as if getting all thos Halo isn't good enough :P).
When it comes to pricing information for the MCC on PC, we know that each game except for Halo 3: ODST will cost $10, while ODST will cost $5.

Well just main menu halo theme is better than all of half life franchise so I guess you are right.
