Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

E3 may be dead, but the "E3 walk" lives on! Seriously though, this looks good. I loved that last one.

Same. It was my games festival. Though it was too corporatey, it was the one delightful part of the year where I could get excited about the most insignificant and significant announcements. And how could you forget the vague, CGI trailers that always overpromised.

The hype was real.

Why don't gamescon or gamesaward feel this way?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Exactly what I thought hah. We're still doing the slow walk and camera pans to show the environment?

I tried the first one near release but got bored quickly. Is it worth a revisit?

Idk who down voted you. The first game was one if the most boring games I've ever played in my life.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 5 points 2 months ago

Nah first game sucks.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I can't make you like it if you didn't enjoy it the first time, but I thought it was a great FPS and RPG that didn't waste enough time, like its contemporaries might, to become boring. If you gave it a few hours, you've probably seen the cut of its jib.

The first planet kinda drags on. The games gets slightly better after that. One of the DLC is quite good.

Still covering all the npc faces so they don't have to animate them. I'd like at least some animated avatars. It feels so souless talking to masks.

I like that the companion seems to be more talkative.
