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.

OK when have they produced trash? BioShock rules so wtf is your crusade (which i generally like) doing on this post rn?

Theyre literally talking to the people and they're like - were taking the time to make the game good last one was good and we want to keep it that way."

So yeah let's consider the obvious turning of that pendulum (quality and crap being more profitable and thus in a way easier to produce in the system we are stuck with being in)and be reasonably hopeful for a reasonable reason for a change

this probably u rn -> ๐Ÿ˜’ ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜ -------------> ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜†

Borderlands 3 comes to mind as do both of the Tales from the Borderlands games. There's been a few misses in the 2K sports line up as well.

Let's see if they can do a new game without resorting to returning to Rapture like they did with Infinite and Burial at Sea.

Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

I'm having a great time with Borderlands 3 right now. They did so much to improve the feel of those games with that one. Standards are incredibly high if that's trash.

Kerbal Space Program 2 was going fine until they put their hands on it
