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.

this game does look very interesting but I would be a lot more interested if there wasn't guns

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

there wouldn't be much of a game left if they took out the guns

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well they could be replaced you know

melee action games with this kind of setting are a dime a dozen.

making this a shooter actually makes it unique.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

it's been done before

I realise in modern gaming most people don't care about this anymore, but seeing a development roadmap for a game you can actually buy in a store is just a failure.

Remember betas and demos, now we pay for the privilege of these, you buy early access to play an unfinished product, you buy a deluxe edition for 72 hour pre-release.

Just a terrible trend I really hate to see and it doesn't seem to happen anywhere else, I wouldn't pay for a whole film and get the first quarter while the rest is edited and released, I wouldn't pay for an album of 10 songs but they're still writing 8.

Baffling.

Witchfire is clearly labeled as Early Access, don't see the problem in this case. If you want a finished game don't buy Witchfire yet. If you want to moan about modern gaming in general maybe use another post?

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

are you really complaining about indie developers releasing a game into early access?

[–] avater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

yep he does.

[–] Hucxi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It literally happens all the time in other media. People crowdfund projects (books, movies, games, manufactured products) all the time with an expectation that the final product will be different than the concept they funded. It's completely transparent for these types of products, and early access that is clearly labeled poses no harm to anyone other than people who don't pay attention to the label.
