there's a Samurai Jack game that came out today. idk if it's any good, and it's kind of expensive, but it's cool that they made a samurai jack game

it looks like a mobile game imo, and i see it is on apple arcade...

daggerfall had a lot of tabletop concepts in it which was neat, they generated realistic distances between town so you had to plan out camping on your way

the dungeons were huge and randomly generated though which was p awful, imagine spending four plus hours in a dungeon to complete a very minor fetch quest

the dibella priestesses tho had their titties out which was v. exciting for young wack

is there a bunch of orbit stuff and or multiple planets?

yes, and orbital stuff modeled accurately so for example, you can build a planet wide band of solar panels to have 100% solar cover and always be in sunlight

once you're done with your first lovely factory you can just fly over to another planet to do another, and set up a railgun network to transport poo poo

the whole main game progression is already done so the next year is UI polishing and adding more poo poo in

some of the buildings in this pic are actually multiple buildings stacked on top of each other, they stack and share inventory

The biggest misstep of cyberpunk 2077 is that it wasn't made by the eidos montreal team. That and no flying cars, did these guys even watch blade runner?

and they even have you ride one in the corpo intro, and have trauma team show up in one in the intro mission

finally actually finished cp2077

honestly, i liked it. it was pretty much the third new deus ex game that'll never come out mated to a sub-par gta clone but the campaign was interesting enough to keep me moving forward and the city is interesting enough to just mill around and sightsee for a bit

ya Night City is honestly one of the best video game cities ever for how fully realized it is as a place - shame about the rest of the game

Plenty of bad things, sure, but worthwhile?

Even the crap on the radio hasn't really changed that much compared to say the difference between the 60s and the 80s.

lol this is just called getting old and out of touch - every generation thinks this, e.g. my boomer in-laws think no meaningful culture has happened since 1970

this poo poo was ruined by monetization - no one wants to put out guides and wiki updates anymore because they will be immediately scraped for someone's clickbait blog, youtube channel or ad-infested wiki

the only stuff you still see is pinned discord posts and google docs which are both difficult to discover and depending on how good the moderation is half the time they are completely wrong because they are from earlier builds of a game with no version indicated and no removal once they are invalid

the best part of video game piracy was all the things devs put in to punish you - like
in Ultima 7 if the game was pirated all the npcs would chase you and shout "Oink!" or in Escape Velocity an unkillable ship would come in and yeet you off the screen. in Darkstar One they would turn the warp map into a fever dream and make it so you couldn't leave the system, and in Game Dev Tycoon you just slowly go bankrupt no matter what.

square enix always had a massive ego problem with their western studios outperforming their less appealing japanese stuff that they strongly believe should be very very important, like dragon quest and whatever the gently caress final fantasy even is at this point. seems like their chief dipshit got into crypto. it's amazing how publicly listed companies allow their executives to act this irrationally, to stab their own eye (or in this case, IOI) to spite their face but it seems to happen all the time?

DQ11 and FFXIV have both been absolutely massive successes and carried the company through a lot of their other dumb poo poo

now answer my question:

should I pick up one of the pathfinder games and if so which one

wrath is the newer and more polished of the two, i prefer kingmaker's somewhat more standard fantasy story but wrath is a lot of fun, has more qol and the mythic paths are worth a couple replays

they both have strategy layer minigames, the first has a kingdom sim using cards and the second is a homm clone
