You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

I ignored all warnings and pulled out Valhalla anyways and an hour later it's exactly what I was expecting: pretty snowy map to explore, all the mechanics from Origins and Odyssey, and decent if not special writing. I expect this will keep me entertained for a while before I forget about it and wander off to other pastures, and honestly I'm okay with that, I just wanted something chill to bop to inbetween bouts of masterpieces like Dark Souls or Rimworld or whatever else I'm getting up to.

Mind if I blame you for Ubisoft still existing? I realise the issue predates your purchase, but really, I just want an easy scapegoat.

I mean, I kiiiind of get why someone would be upset about it, but anytime they alter an older game like this for a remaster my first thought is "well then just play the original". People want older games preserved to the T, but also want them updated with all sorts of QoL improvements.

I might be misunderstanding but to my knowledge the pinups are still there in the 'original graphics' mode.

Sounds like they might have just not wanted to upscale or recreate those images if they're still around in the original graphics mode (which is literally a button press away at any moment and swaps immediately even during CG cutscenes).

They already existed and used to be in the game but got removed in the latest patch, as I understand it.

Maybe they're saying that having a current good photo of themself to look at helps with their gender dysphoria or something? I don't think it's good to jump to a negative interpretation.

I think people are jumping to that because if someone says "What kind of lunatic" and someone responds "trans people", it isn't really a huge leap to read that as "trans people are lunatics." Which is probably not the intended reading but isn't exactly a huge leap.

I'm cis so YMMV but I think it's not like totally unreasonable to spend two seconds being like "hey maybe this person is trans and talking about their own experience?" before jumping to the worst possible interpretation and deciding that it's transphobic

Edit: Anyway I didn't mean to start a derail and I wouldn't have posted that if I had seen that Weedle had already responded

I mean I don't disagree but it's easy to be on edge sometimes. Not trying to say anything about anyone, just saying it was a genuine miscommunication which seems resolved.

no they're the og windows 95 versions although they have been patched slightly to work on windows 10/11. the remaster bundle is a totally separate thing

Kind of confusing but I guess since I already have the remastered collection and since the ultimate collection is a steam bundle with no discount rather than a single game I should just buy the newer games individually then

Can you, though? If I go on, for example, the Zero Hour Steam page it just tells me to buy the bundle.

Oh that's so weird. The Bundle page lists a price of $1.49 for it at a 0% discount which seems to imply that you would be able to but the individual page for it only seems to offer a subscription or the ultimate bundle, so maybe not?

I didn't realize it was even possible to have bundles where it isn't possible to buy the individual items on steam

The price difference in avoiding the items that are redundant with the remastered collection is totally negligible anyway so I guess I should just buy the bundle after all

And what should one do to be remembered?
They were able to be purchased individually for a very short span of time back when they started putting them up on the store. After all of them were added, they removed the option to buy them individually.

Man, "Spectacle Fighter" and "Character Action Game" has to be the most misused tags on Steam.
Not only is it a genre that rarely has any releases at all, but most people don't even know what those terms mean, so you end up with absolute minuscule number of games that are correctly tagged, even if you generously include ULTRAKILL and the the likes in there.
