I can't figure out what I need to buy to get just Hitman 3. I own 1 and 2 and I'd buy 3 at a dirty cheap price but I can't figure it out. Gamepass for Hitman I guess?
Ghost Recon Breakpoin is 85% off (I recommend trying out Operation Motherland): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2231380/Tom_Clancys_Ghost_Recon_Breakpoint/
I bought this and couldn't get into it. It's too autistic for it's own good. They took The Division and upped the damage. It's a fun idea to division in the jungle but it's just so full of confusing systems. Even finding missions to do is like 5 different options barely explained at you and that's without DLC telling me their's new stuff. I'd also like to know who thought we needed 60 different triggers to customise the gun. Triggers aren't that important bro, have like 3-4 custom options and make meaningful changes so I know WTF I'm buying. Some people will really love this game but I don't have the patients to break into it. I'd rather play far cry for fucking around in the Jungle.


Absolute must-have if you enjoy corky early 2000s shooters.

This looks amazing. Thank you for the recommendation. Buying it ASAP.

Any good lists for super cheap games worth buying out there? Too many are full of journo games I don't want to know exist let alone play

I mean, I literally left a link to my other post:

To get full shit aside from cosmetics you either but this:
This:
Or this:
  • HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Edition

All three ways give you the same content.

Considering that Part One is 90%, I think I'll choose the 1st way, but IO is probably expecting that so they may stop making good discounts on Upgrade Pack.

You either get the thing by buying 3 parts of the same thing, 2 parts of the same thing or you just get the full pack. What's so hard about it?

There is no Hitman 3 anymore, meaning if you own Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 it won't change anything for you.

Before Hitman 3 was converted into World of Assassination, you could've get Hitman 2 content for free, reducing the cost of "HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Pack: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30335/HITMAN_World_of_Assassination_Deluxe_Pack/", but I don't think it's possible anymore.

They removed Gear Score bullshit from Division a long time ago, or rather, gave you an option to play without it.

Also, you cannot do this in Far Cry (and there aren't many alternatives):

I am even more confused. Before if you owned 1 and 2 then 3 let you play their content. 3 is now WoA and you're saying I have to rebuy my old content instead?

I'm not into larping like an autist. I wanted a casual tacticool game where I got a bunch of dudes and we assaulted compounds together. Not going to a poorly designed hub and trying to figure out what the fuck the next main mission was and what was sending me to fight 20 guys with mortars for a trigger upgrade.

Technically, you can't rebuy it because there is no such option anymore. You buy one game, you get everything.

Practically, yes, there are no discounts for Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 owners, except for the one I mentioned above, which probably doesn't work anymore (you can try downloading HITMAN Free Starter Pack, link your Steam account to IO account and see if they'll give you anything).

This game does exactly that and there are no perfect games. It's either that, Wildlands, MGSV or possibly Arma 3. Not much else in the genre, unforunately.

evil genius 2 cheap af:


really fun base builder game..
as someone who's played both 1 and 2 a lot, 2 is basically a faithful recreation of 1 with some graphical/qol improvements

2 was unfairly review bombed basically because people don't like how faithful it was to the original

of course, EG1 is still very good but it doesn't look as nice and you need to mod it quite a bit to fix some problems with the base game

I want to highlight a few games that probably fly under the radar that I grabbed that I am excited to play.

as with every year, i truly madly deeply want to throw my money away but there's no real "sale", anything which appears to have a low price tag is because it's hiding behind a hundred million dlcs.
and fuck hitman. that's just a scam scheme at this point.

I can't get past the last level in Santa Monica. Why is it so hard :lol:

edit: I got it after exploiting the AI but it sent me to the Osaka ending screen. Might be because it glitched and gave me a blank dialogue prompt and I reloaded the page. I did it again and got sent to Santa Monica. I might be the person that played this the longest now other than the dev.
Yeah, the last level is hard, I think if you haven't beaten it in the first 30ish seconds it's almost impossible to recover (which could arguably be bad game design, but could also be metacomemntary on how hard it is to escape the White Devil).

Took a chance on this and it kinda blew my mind, already clocked in 10 hours in 3 days. It's like that roman legionnaire rpg if anyone remembers it, wouldn't surprise me if it's the same devs.
