777 permissions on NTFS-3G Windows mount

Question

I'm trying to install a game from Steam on an external harddrive.

I normally use this to mount my WD Elements external usb harddrive (windows share): sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/elements/

I've tried the following: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/elements/ -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 which was stated in this question: How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition?

Still getting New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions.

I would like like 777 permissions on the external harddrive.
