Shame it's not a simultaneous release. They're going to release them in the chronological order.

The PC version of Halo: MCC will come in stages, with each game released individually, in chronological order, rather than all of them together in one big bundle. That means Halo: Reach will be first, followed by Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST (Campaign), and Halo 4. 343 Industries said that staggered scheduled will enable it to ensure that each game is "right"—emphasis theirs—with PC-standard features including FOV sliders, 4K resolution and ultrawide monitor support, adjustable framerates, and remappable keys. Beyond their initial launch, the games will "evolve and grow over time with community input," Microsoft said.

I kinda doubt Reach will be the first though. Combat Evolved is much easier to bring since it was already on PC.

dude, judging solely by your signature - do you do anything else besides playing games all day, every day? and looking at the titles, how many times now did you replay each one of them? (genuinely curious)

I am a NEET and I have lots of time. I can just stay focused and play games consistently.
Yes, I replay games. Mostly personal favourites such as Deus Ex and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory which I usually do once per year. I don't replay games right after I completed them, no. 6 months wait minimum before I even consider a replay.

Halo games have the best maps for couch coop for 2-3 players. Small and fun maps, newer games, if they have couch coop, have boring maps, designed for a lot of players.

Interesting looking thing. Fantastical flying machine simulator inspired by dungeon crawlers and roguelikes:





You've stolen a Nauticrawl and its walls, like the approaching sentinels, are closing in around you. It's time to move. NOW.

Then you realize... you don't know how to move this heap of metal.

Enslaved on an unknown planet, a stolen Nauticrawl is your only hope of escaping the wretched life you were born into. But now that you're at the helm, you have a whole new set of problems. The craft is full of levers, buttons, and gauges that make no sense to you. And even if they did, where would you go?

Uncover the secrets of this world, figure out how to pilot the Nauticrawl, and chart a course for freedom. Or die trying.

  • Master foreign contraptions and figure out how to pilot the mysterious Nauticrawl.
  • Explore randomly generated maps while uncovering the secrets of an unknown planet
  • Intercept communications, speak to natives, hack into devices, and chart a path to freedom.

Nauticrawl takes apart dungeon-crawlers and roguelikes of the 90s, and rebuilds them back into a game unlike any you’ve played before. Like the games from the generation that inspired it, Nauticrawl leaves you to your own devices... literally.

There's been quite a few of these fictional machine simulators from indies recently, eh?

The official game based on the feature film "Windstorm - Ari's Arrival"

The steed Windstorm is suffering from anxiety after surviving a fire, and not even Mika is able to help him. Until the feisty Ari arrives on the ranch. Even though she has no experience in riding horses, she quickly befriends Windstorm. Mr. Kaan teaches the girl how to take care of the horse and how to maintain the right posture in the saddle. Will Ari learn to ride as fast as her predecessor Mika? Will she be able to help Windstorm become his old self?

What is behind the legend of the horse warrior that Mr. Kaan is talking about?
