Christ. ALL of those?? If i can't play thosr fuck whatever Steam has to offer.
>>
>>384587710
They were bad ports during the dark era of PC gaming before Steam and generic controller support.
Also you can't find them or Steam or GOG those game has no support whatsoever.
>>

Bully's mouse & keyboard controlls are god-awful, so bad that you can't even unfuck them by reassigning keys because so many actions are linked to the same key.

Easy to fix by just using a controller which works perfectly fine, but still.

I seriously hope you underage motherfuckers don't believe this
>>
>>384590632
PC ports were generally pretty awful during that era. Let's not pretend otherwise.
>>
>>384590729
PC ports on that era was great stupid. Those games are nip games.
>>

but steam IS the dark era! DRM out the ass and 15 day waits for trades and no geams from valve!
>>
>>384587710
MGS2 is perfect here, this one is a pain in the ass to make work tho.

SH 2 is an inferior port with less fog and worse sound effects but works fine. SH 3 is the definitive version.

>PC games older than 4 years don't work well on Windows 10
I think I see what you mean, but what does Steam have to do with it?
>>
>>384590632
2003 - 2008 was a dark era of PC gaming. Everyone was going to consoles(in focus or exclusively) and until Steam there was nothing to stop that trend.
>>
>>384591192
Steam doesn't seem to do any quality control for older games. Most are a pain in the ass to run properly, some don't even launch, in contrast with GOG, where the games are fully patched and optimized.
>>
>>384591176
>SH 2 is an inferior port with less fog and worse sound effects
Have been fixed. It's only lacking soft shadows at this point. Once that's been corrected it'll be the clear definitive version.

Bullshit everything works on win10 you just have to go into legacy mode and maybe DL some old drivers.

Although I'm running win10 enterprise so mileage may vary.

You cant.

Welcome to Rockstar PC ports. GTA 4 is same.I have retail disc version and it is not playable not even installable due it requires a date check in install but servers for it dead(thank you GFWL)
and they didnt patch it

;') but you goyims bought 10 million GTA 5 on steam so it doesnt matter

>>384591603
>>384591726
>>384591915
>>384592648

I never said dead, I said dark. Look at the development studios that closed down, look at the game series that stopped or suddenly had huge gaps in releases, look at the games that should have been on PC but weren't(lots of them now have ports). As far as publishers were concerned PC gaming was a race horse with a lame leg. It was being sent to the glue factory. PC gaming was in a downward spiral that looked set to crash the whole PC industry. Digital distribution changed all that.

>>384587710
hows mgs2 on pc? i tried emulating it and it just struggled to run.
>>
>>384594228
I actually managed to extend the between-crash sessions up to 1-2h by applying the dozen tweaks you can find online that supposedly fix the crashes. Pooled together they seem to have an effect. That way I managed to finish bully last year, but I desperately want to replay, and I cannot go through this grueling ordeal of tweaking and restarting the game constantly.

God fucking damn it.

People seem to forget that pre steam era retail games would sometimes outright won't open because you had the wrong drive.
Securerom and starforce were cancer during that time.

If you had a PC potato in that age, it's a crappy port.
But with the actual hardware, i easily play that masterpiece in 30 fps and can unlock to 60 fps.

Not really, it's only a thing because people were forced to use it to play Half-Life 2. After that it was just convenient DRM for other companies because most people already had it. The majority of game sales on consoles are still physical.

>>384597294
It's still not playable on windows past 7?
