I'm in the mood for some mindless, grindy shooting fun. Warframe or Destiny 2?

Destiny 2 is way less effort to get rolling but also a little more demanding in attention

cdkeys is an unauthorized reseller

however they are not in the same scummy league as g2a because they sell directly and without weird warranty scams or stolen keys

no more open-roaming maps, i beg of you

I admit, got my hopes up for a second there.
Seriously, how hard can it be to do a modern day HoMaM that works?

They put out a full fledged Might and Magic game in 2014, which isn’t too bad for a series as old as dirt. Heroes of Might and Magic could probably use a new entry, too.

Satellite Reign really disappointed me. I hated spending ages trying to figure out a stealthy approach to a base only to have the AI magically adjust its patrols so they came right next to my guys. On a roof. Using a zip line.

Plus I’m pretty sure enemies could spot you using 3D lines of sight that you couldn’t identify with the overhead camera.

I really wanted to like the game but playing it was such a pain.

You couldn’t max out Crysis until around 2017. Some games have poo poo that’s there so future computers can brute force some graphics settings out of them.

Mind you, with Crysis some of that was processor development shifting from “MORE CLOCK SPEED FOREVER!” like it was when they were making Crysis, to increasing cores/threads. But still, it’s kind of nuts how future-proofed that game was.

I think people give Crysis too much credit for “future proofing.” You can supersample an old game at 8k+ and bring a modern computer to its knees but that doesn’t mean a whole lot of talent went into creating the option, nor that it looks significantly better. People aren’t really getting much more out of Crysis today than it offered at release.

I can’t play Spellforce 3 because I can’t click anything in the main menu. I checked the Steam forums and in 2018 the devs recognized the issue and just said “Windows did it, not our fault” while some creep screamed at people to sign up to his Discord to get the fix (which is just turning off vsync and doesn’t work).

Oh well

Based on the symptom, response, and date I'm going to blindly suggest going into the compatibility settings for the application, switching on the High DPI Scaling Override and trying out the various options there to see if one resolves it.

Unfortunately none of those fix it.

I haven't done much with Steam for several years aside from buying like 2 games and enter codes to get lots of free games. I found Satellite Reign in my library and it looks pretty cool? I played through the tutorial until I got my fourth dude, but had to call it a day. What do folks think about this game? Can you sell me on it?

Imagine meticulously observing enemy patrol routes and behaviors to help you guide your people into a labyrinthine corporate complex. Imagine as soon as you slip in through a back door, climb to a roof, and zipline to another one to stay out of sight, the AI magically decides that security's new patrol route involves climbing a roof and ziplining to yours.
